*These functions do not have direct

button locations on the TV set,

They can be controlled only with the Remote Control.

Before Using the Remote Control

With this Remote Control, you can operate your TV and

most models of remote-controlled VCR's and Cable TV converters even if they are different brands.

However, this Remote Control must be programmed to control other brands of VCR's and/or Converters. If you

will be using your TV set with a TOSHIBA VCR, your

remote has already been preprogrammed for you.

• Before attempting to operate your Remote Control, install the batteries according to the section "Installing

and replacing batteries" shown below.

• For more detailed instructions, see the section "Pro- gramming the Remote Control" on page 11.

Place the Remote Control with the face down. Press down on the ridged area of the battery cover and

slide it off.

- Press and slide to remove.

Notes:

• After installing new batteries, the Remote Control will set itself to the codes for -[OSHIBA's TV and VCR. If

you are using the Remote Control to operate equip- ment that uses different codes, it will have to be

reprogrammed for those coees.

• This Remote Control may have functions not available on the original remote control.

• These functions may or may not operate your VCR or Cable TV Converter. Refer to the owner's manuals

supplied with the equipmenl to see which functions are available.

• The remote control supplied with your VCR or Cable TV Converter may have keys not duplicated on this

Remote Control. If these func'tions are desired, the original remote will have to be used. - -

CAUTION:

• Do not throw your batteries into a fire. Dispose of your

batteries in a designated dis3osal area.

• Do not combine used old gaL-teries with new ones.

• Do not mix battery types.

Place two "AAA" size batteries, matching the + and -

signs on each battery to the + and- signs of the

battery compartment.

,/ - ®,DI/

3 Replace the_atfery cover until'the lock snaps.

Tips for Best Operation

• For optimum performance, aim the Remote Control directly at the TV from a distance of no more than 16 ft

(5m) and be sure there is no obstruction between the Remote Control and the TV.

• If your Remote Control does not always adjust the TV

as you wish, you probably need to replace the batter- ies.

• Remove dead batteries irrmediately to preven[ battery

acid from leaking into the b_ttery compartme£,t.

• If you do not intend to use the Remote Control for a

long period, remove the batteries.

Using the Remote with VCR or Cable TV Converter

O To control a TOSHIBA VCR, first set the TV-CABLE-VCR switch to "VCR" position. The button,'; shown below will then

- control the VCR. The rest of the buttons operate the TV as usual. If you have another brand of VCR, you can probably program your Remote to control it.

Details are on page 11.

• To control a cable TV converter, this Remote Control must be programmed to recognize the brand of your converter. See page 11.
