Connecting your TV
Connecting a device to the
IR OUT terminal 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 a Toshiba
infrared remote-controlled VCR or DVD player) 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.
To connect the IR blaster cable:
1.Locate the infrared sensor on the front of your device.
This sensor is marked on some devices* (see note at
right.)
2.Align the IR blaster cable’s wand about 1 inch away from
the infrared sensor on the front of the device and attach
it using double-sided mounting tape.
3.Plug the IR blaster cable’s plug into the TV’s IR OUT
terminal.
To control the device:
Point the TV remote control
(programmed to operate the
device; see pages 18, 19) or
the device’s remote control
at 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.
You will need:
• one IR blaster (IR emitter) cable
(3.5mm mono mini plug)
• other audio/video cables as
required to connect the device(s) to
the TV (see pages 7–15)

* 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.
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.
