Programming the remote control for use with a
non-Toshiba VCR or a cable TV converter
Tile TV remote control is preprogrammed to operate Toshiba VCRs
and cable TV converters.
To use the remote control to operate a non-Toshiba VCR or cable
converter:
1. Refer to the VCR and Cable TV converter code tables on pages
15-16 to find the corresponding code for your VCR or converter.
If more than one code is listed, try each one separately until you
find the one that works.
2. If you are programming 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. While holding down RECALL, press the Channel Number
buttons (0-9) to enter the code for your brand of VCR or
converter.
4. Point the remote control at the VCR or converter and press
POWER to test the code.
If the VCR or converter responds, you have entered the correct
code.
If the VCR or converter does not respond to the remote control,
you may have entered the wrong code. Repeat steps 1-4 using
another code.
5. To control the TV, set the TV/CABLE/VCR switch to TV.
