Using the Remote Control Using the remote control Preparing the remote control for use The remote control will operate your TV, most VCR models, and most cable TV converters together, even if they are different brands. • If you will be using your TV with a Toshiba VCR or cable TV converter, your remote control is already programmed and ready to use. See "Using the remote control with a Toshiba VCR or cable TV converter" below. • If you own a non-Toshiba VCR or converter and want to use your TV remote control to operate it, you will need to program the remote control. See "Programming the remote control for use with a non-Toshiba VCR or cable TV converter" on page 13. Installing the remote control batteries To install the batteries: 1. Slide the battery cover off the back of the remote control. Note: The remote control provided with your TV may or may not operate certain features on your VCR, cable TV converter, or other electronic equipment. Refer to the owner's manuals provided with your other equipment to see which features are available. In addition, the other remote controls may have buttons not available on your TV's remote control. If you would like to use those features or buttons, you may need to use the original remote controls provided with your other equipment. 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. • Remove dead batteries immediately to prevent battery acid from leaking into the battery compartment. • If you do not intend to use the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries. 2. Install two "AA" size batteries. Match the + and - symbols on the batteries to the symbols on the battery compartment. 3. Slide the battery cover back onto the remote control until the lock snaps.
