Programming the remote control for use with a
VCR or a cable TV converter
This remote control is pre-programmed to operate Toshiba VCRs. To
use VCRs or cable converters other than Toshiba models, you must
follow the steps below before you operate your remote control.
1. Refer to the “VCR code table” or “Cable TV converter code
table” on pages 9-10 to find the number that corresponds to the
brand name of your VCR or converter.
If more than one number is listed, try each one separately until
you find the one that works.
2. If you are reprogramming the remote control to operate your:
• VCR, set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch on the remote control
to VCR.
• cable converter, set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch on the
remote control to CABLE.
3. Hold down the RECALL button while using the Channel
Number buttons to enter the three-digit code number of your
brand of VCR or converter.
4. Point the remote control at the VCR or converter and press
POWER to test the code number.
If the VCR or converter turns on, you have entered the right
number.
If the VCR or converter does not respond to the remote control,
you may have entered the wrong number. Repeat steps 1-4 with
another code number.

Note:
• Each time you replace the batteries, you
must reprogram the remote control.
• Some newer VCRs are capable of working
on either of two remote codes. These
VCRs have a switch labeled “VCR1/VCR2.”
If your VCR has this kind of switch, it may
not respond to any of the code numbers for
your VCR brand name. In this case, set the
switch to the other position (VCR1 or
VCR2) and reprogram the remote control.
For future reference, write down the code numbers you used:
