Chapter 3: Using the remote control

Using the remote control to control your other devices

If you have a non-Toshiba device or a Toshiba device that the remote control is not preprogrammed to operate, you must first program the remote control to recognize the device (if you have not already done so) (pages 24–26).

To use your TV remote control to operate a:

Cable converter box or satellite receiver, set the MODE SELECT switch to CABLE/SAT.

VCR, set the MODE SELECT switch to AUX 1.

AUX 2.

Note: Even after the TV remote control is programmed, it may not operate certain features on any other devices. If this happens and you wish to use those features, you will need to use the device’s original remote control.
