Introduction Using the remote control Connecting your TV Using the Remote Control Setting up your TV 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 or cable TV converter, your remote control is already programmed and ready to use. If you own different brands of VCRs and/or converters, you must program the remote control. (See "Programming the remote control for use with a non-Toshiba VCR or a cable TV converter" on page 15.) 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. Installing the remote control batteries To install the batteries: 1. Slide the battery cover off the back of the remote control. 2. Install two "AA" size alkaline batteries. Match the + and - signs on the batteries to the signs on the battery compartment. 3. Slide the battery cover back on to the remote control until the lock snaps. 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. • If the remote control does not operate correctly or if the operating range is reduced, replace both betteries with new ones. Using the remote control with a VCR or cable TV converter To control a VCR: Set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch to the VCR position. The shaded buttons shown at right will then control the VCR. The unshaded buttons will operate the TV as usual. If you own a non-Toshiba VCR, program the remote control to recognize your VCR brand. (See "Programming the remote control for use with a non-Toshiba VCR or a cable TV converter" on page 15.) To control a cable TV converter: Set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch to the CABLE position. The shaded buttons shown at right will control the cable TV converter.
