Introduction Connecting your TV Using the remote control Preparing the remote control for use With the remote control, you can operate your TV, most VCR models, and cable TV converters together, even if they are different brands. If you will be using your TV with a Toshiba VCR, your remote control is already programmed and ready to use. If you own different brands of VCRs and/or converters, you first have to program your remote control. (See "Programming the remote control for use with a VCR or a cable TV converter" on page 15.) Installing the remote control batteries To install the batteries: 1. Slide the battery cover off the back of the remote control. Note: Your TV's remote control may not operate certain features on your VCR, cable TV converter, or other electronic device. Refer to the owner's manuals for your other devices to determine their available features. If your TV's remote control does not operate a specific feature on a device, use the remote control that came with the device. 2. Install two "AA" size alkaline batteries. Match the + and - signs on the batteries to the signs on the battery compartment. Caution: • Dispose of batteries in a designated disposal area. Do not throw batteries into a fire. • Do not mix battery types or combine used batteries with new ones. • If the batteries are dead or if you will not use the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries to prevent battery acid from leaking into the battery compartment. Note: Battery life expectancy is about one year with normal use. Using the Remote Control Setting up your TV Using the TV's Features Appendix 3.
