Connecting a device to the TheaterLink

Connecting your TV

The TheaterLink allows you to remotely operate (through the TV) most infrared-controlled devices* (such as a Toshiba infrared- controled VCR or DVD player) enclosed within an entertainment center or similar cabinet. Without the TheaterLink, the device typically would need to be visible to operate it remotely.

You can use the TVÕs remote control (programmed to operate the device; see pages 18Ð24) or the deviceÕs remote control. Point

the 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 TheaterLink cable (included with your TV).

To connect, align the TheaterLink cableÕs infrared ÒeyeÓ with the deviceÕs infrared sensor and attach it using double-sided mounting tape (included with the cable in the accessory pack). Plug the other end of the TheaterLink cable into the TVÕs TheaterLink OUT terminal.

You will need:

¥one TheaterLink cable (included)

¥one piece of double-sided mounting tape (included)

Front of infrared-controled device* (such as a Toshiba infrared-controled VCR or DVD player)

For additional control options for your home theater system, you can connect an IR receiver/repeater (not included) or a home theater control system (not included) to the TV’ s TheaterLink IN terminal.*

See the Specifications section in the back of this manual for TheaterLink IN terminal requirements.

Contact your home theater electronics dealer for details about home theater control systems.
