Connecting a device to the IR OUT terminal for IR pass-through device control

You can use the TV’s IR OUT terminal (infrared pass- through) to remotely operate (through the TV) many infrared remote-controlled devices (such as a Toshiba infrared remote-controlled VCR or DVD player) enclosed within an entertainment center or similar cabinet. Without the IR OUT connection, the device typically would need to be visible to operate it remotely.

To connect the IR blaster cable:

1.Locate the infrared sensor on the front of your device. This sensor is marked on some devices* (see note at right.)

2.Align the IR blaster cable’s wand about 1 inch away from the infrared sensor on the front of the device and attach it using double-sided mounting tape.

3.Plug the IR blaster cable’s plug into the TV’s IR OUT terminal.

To control the device: Point the TV remote control (programmed to operate the device; see pages 18, 19) or the device’s remote control at the front of the TV and press the button for the desired function.

The signal passes from the remote control through the TV to the device via the IR blaster cable.

You will need:

•one IR blaster (IR emitter) cable (3.5mm mono mini plug)

•other audio/video cables as required to connect the device(s) to the TV (see pages 7–15)

*If you cannot locate the device’s infrared sensor:

1.Turn OFF the device.

2.Starting at the lower left corner of the device, place the end of the device’s remote control (with the infrared emitter) so it touches the front of the device and press POWER. (Do not use the TV’s remote control for this step.)

3.If the device turns on, the point at which the remote control touched the device is the location of the sensor.

4.If the device does not turn on, move the remote control slightly to the right and press POWER again.

5.Repeat step 4 until you locate the device’s infrared sensor.

Note:

If you use the device’s remote control to operate the device, you also will need to use the TV’s remote control to operate the TV.
