Preparing the remote control for use  
Your TV remote control can operate your TV together with most VCR models and cable TV converters, even if they are  
different brands.  
If you have a Toshiba VCR, your TV remote control is already programmed to operate it (see page 10).  
If you have a non-Toshiba VCR and/or cable TV converter, you must first program your remote control so it will operate the  
other equipment (see pages 11–13).  
Installing the remote control batteries  
1 Slide the battery cover off the back of the remote control.  
Caution:  
Dispose of batteries in a designated disposal  
area. Do not throw batteries into a fire.  
Press and slide to remove.  
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, making sure to match the + and – signs on  
the batteries to the signs on the battery compartment.  
Note:  
If your Toshiba TV remote control does not  
operate all of the features of your VCR or cable  
TV converter, you may need to use the remote  
control that came with your other equipment.  
3 Slide the battery cover back onto the remote control until the lock snaps.
