Connecting a device to the TheaterLink
The TheaterLink allows you to remotely operate (through the TV)
most infrared-controlled devices* (such as a Toshiba infrared-
controlled 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 TV’s remote control (programmed to operate
the device; see pages 19–25) or the device’s 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 cable’s infrared “eye” with the
device’s 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 TV’s TheaterLink OUT
terminal.
You will need:
one TheaterLink cable (included)
one piece of double-sided mounting tape (included)
