Chapter 2: Connecting your TV
Connecting a device to the IR OUT
infrared terminal using the IR
blaster cable for IR pass-through
device control
You can use the TV’s
IR OUT
terminal (infrared pass-
through) to remotely operate (through the TV) many
infrared remote-controlled devices (such as Toshiba
infrared remote-controlled VCRs or DVD players)
enclosed within an entertainment center or similar
cabinet. Without the
IR OUT
connection, the device
typically would need to be visible to operate it
remotely.
You will need:
•dual-wand IR blaster cable (
-
page 12)
•other audio/video cables as required to connect the
device(s) to the TV (
-
pages 13, 14 and 16)
To connect the IR blaster cable:
1
Locate the infrared sensor on the front of your
device. This sensor is marked on some devices.*
2
Align one of the IR blaster cable’s wands about 1
inch away from the infrared sensor on the front of
the device and attach it using double-sided
mounting tape. If you have a second device, attach
the second wand in a similar manner. (See
illustration.)
Note:
If you do not have a second device, coil the
second wand with a rubber band and leave it behind
the TV.
3
Plug the IR blaster cable’s plug into the TV’s
IR OUT
terminal.
To control the device(s):
Point either the device’s remote control or the TV
remote control (that you previously programmed to
operate the device;
-
Chapter 3) toward 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 IR blaster cable.
Note:
If you use the device’s remote control to operate the
device, you also will need to use the TV’s remote control
to operate the TV.
The IR pass-through feature does not support all
IR-controlled devices; satisfactory performance may
not be attainable with certain devices.

If you cannot locate the device’s infrared sensor:
1
Turn OFF the device.
2
Starting at the lower left corner of the device,
place the end of the device’s remote control (with
the infrared emitter) so it touches the front of the
device and press
POWER
. (Do not use the TV’s
remote control for this step.)
3
If the device turns on, the point at which the
remote control touched the device is the location
of the sensor.
4
If the device does not turn on, move the remote
control slightly to the right and press
POWER
again.
5
Repeat step 4 until you locate the device’s infrared
sensor.
