Preparing the remote control for
use
Your TV remote control can operate your TV and many other
devices such as cable converter boxes, satellite receivers,
VCRs, DVD players, and HTIBs (home theater in a box),
even if they are different brands.
If you have a Toshiba device:
Your TV remote control is preprogrammed to operate most
Toshiba devices ( page 24).
If you have a non-Toshiba device or a Toshiba device
that the remote control is not preprogrammed to
operate:
You can program the TV remote control so it will operate the
other device ( pages 22–26).
Installing the remote control
batteries
Remove the battery cover from the back of the remote
control.
Squeeze tab
and lift cover.
Install two “AAA” size batteries, making sure to match
the + and – signs on the batteries to the signs on the
battery compartment.
Reinsert the battery cover in the remote control until the
tab snaps.
Caution:
Dispose of batteries in a designated disposal area. Never
throw batteries into a fire.
Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of
battery disposal.
Never mix battery types or combine used batteries with
new ones.
Batteries shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as

environment in mind. Always dispose of batteries in
accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
If the remote control does not operate correctly, or if the
operating range becomes reduced, replace batteries with
new ones.
When necessary to replace batteries in the remote control,
always replace both batteries with new ones. Never mix
battery types or use new and used batteries in combination.
Always remove batteries from the remote control if they
are dead or if the remote control is not to be used for an
extended period of time. This will prevent battery acid from
leaking into the battery compartment.
Remote control effective range
For optimum performance, aim the remote control directly
at the TV and make sure there is no obstruction between the
remote control and the TV.
