Chapter 3: Using the remote control

Using the remote control to operate your other devices

Your TV remote control has one dedicated TV mode and three programmable multi-brand modes: CABLE/SAT, DVD, VCR/PVR, AUX 1, and AUX 2. The default device modes and programmable device modes are listed below.

Note: The TV remote control is preprogrammed to operate most Toshiba devices. To operate a non-Toshiba device or a Toshiba device that the remote control is not preprogrammed to operate, you will need to program the remote control. See “Programming the remote control to operate your other devices” (at right).

Note: Although your new TV’s remote control includes codes for many devices, it may not include codes for some or all of the features on certain devices you wish to control. If you are unable to program the TV’s remote control to operate your device or some of the features on that device, use the device’s remote control or the controls on the device.

Programming the remote control to operate your other devices

Device code setup

1 Find the code for your device brand in the remote control device code table on pages 33–39.

If more than one code is listed, try each one separately until you find one that works.

2 Press the applicable MODE SELECT button (CABLE/ SAT, DVD, VCR/PVR, AUX 1, or AUX 2), until the MODE SELECT button blinks 3 times.

3 While holding down E, press the five-digit device code for your device.

If a valid code is entered, the MODE SELECT button will blink twice.

If an invalid code is entered, the MODE SELECT button will blink one long blink.

4 Point the remote control at the device and press pto test the code.

If the device responds to the remote control, you have entered the correct code.

If the device does not respond to the remote control, repeat steps 3 and 4 using another code.

Note: After programming the remote control, make sure all necessary keys on the TV remote control (in addition to p) operate your device. If some keys are not operational, repeat the device code setup using another code (if other codes are listed for your device). If, after trying all listed codes, the necessary keys do not operate your device, use the device’s original remote control.

5 To control the TV, press the “TV” MODE SELECT button.

Note:

Although the TV remote control includes codes for many devices, it may not include codes for some or all of the features on certain devices you want to control. If you are unable to program the TV remote control to operate your device or some of the features on that device, use the device’s original remote control (or the control buttons on the device).

Every time you change the batteries you will need to reprogram the remote control.

Some newer VCRs respond to either of two codes. These VCRs have a switch labeled “VCR1/VCR2.” If your VCR has this kind of switch and does not respond to the codes for your VCR brand, set the switch to the other position (“VCR1” or “VCR2”) and reprogram the remote control.
