This remote is programmable for cable/sat boxes, TV/DVD combos ,DVD players and VCR/DVD combos. The codes are included in the owners manual. It should run your Toshiba TV,DVD or combo right out of the packaging.

My old one (same model) became increasingly fussy about discs before it just refused to record on any. They are notoriously fussy about recording on DVD- discs. I think the formatting has changed also over the years, so they cannot record on some DVD+ discs. It's best to just record on DVD+ anyway, b/c the Toshiba, for instance, will convert an older DVD+ disc so you can finish out, edit and finalize, but all the Toshiba will do is play an unfinalized DVD- disc. Find a brand that works for your recorder, and stick with that brand, DVD+ only. If your recorder gets fussy woth THOSE, it's probably not going to last much longer.

Wendy, I asked my hubby as I had bought for him. He said I should tell you when we had a problem putting VHS on DVD as it was suppose to do, he could not find anyone to look at it let alone fix it. That said, he also says no, it doesn't record without and external digit tuner. He really is NOT happy with the entire unit and Toshiba. He still gets upset thinking I wasted my money on it and it was the one he wanted.

you betcha! you can also program with current remote for TV. Provided remote has controls for bar volume and also one for sub woofer volume. Adjust bar/TV and sub volumes from one or two points. Bar is programmable. Only issue I have iwth bar remote - it is the size of a key fob (sp) so easy to lose track of if you do not program all to your TV remote. :)

On the menu settings from the remote there may be an option to switch the logo on and off. I have orderd this TV and am waiting for delivery, I have not had the opportunity to explore the TVs functions I do have a Toshiba 46" and have the option to turn the logo on and off.

I have an old Sanyo VCR hooked up to the DVDO and it works fine. The picture is not great because of the input, analogue, 455 lines and nothing could make it look any better but at least it is converted to the native format of the HDTV. All menu inputs were left in AUTO except the noise compensation which I changed. Does your DVDO work with other inputs?

If you have the original remote, you can have this remote learn the original remote's functions.I'm curious if you're asking about the feature found on some Sony TVs to freeze any image shown on the screen, or something else?

I'm not sure. My tv was not listed however it worked for me. It is worth trying out at amazons price. If it doesn't work return it. Toshiba wanted 25.00 for the remote.

Ye, I also have the Toshib Portable dvd for this, and it works very well! I've used mine many-many times. However...it seems that the Toshiba laptop works best with another Toshibs brand. I bought my Toshiba Portable dvd from amazon!

I don't know if it will work with your specific model (they advertise it that it will work with all Toshiba branded TV's). You'll have to check with Amazon about the return. I can tell you that I've had the remote for over 1 year and it is very cheap quality (especially compared to the original Toshiba remote) and does not control all the TV function (e.g., power button will turn TV off, but won't turn it on -- go figure...). I wouldn't buy it again and I'm still trying to find an exact duplicate remote to the original.

I won't be of much help. I inherited the DVD/VCR sans remote because a roommate couldn't pay rent and I wanted to stay seated while I enjoyed his stuff. I just sat on Google until I found what I hoped would work. It was a total fingers-crossed transaction.

You can get a universal remote for dvd and vcr players,and usually comes with a code book so that you can look up the access code for various models.It's been a while since i last checked,but I;m thinking this is still the case.

Hi there K.........how did this unit turn out for you? I've had mine for a couple of years so far, and it plays DVD's great. I gave up on learning how to copy a tape to a disk, but that is the one feature I needed to rid myself of boxes of old VCR tapes. (See my posts dated 2/21/10.) James says I need a tuner, however the inst. book does not mention that. Thanks for the help, Jeanette

Really simple mind HERE....so is there a DVD in it that you can take out and review daily and reinstall? I need a new system...using old tv with vcr..so I can rewind and watch the next day for camera in the back.... could someone kinds give me the simple way this works? Also can you hook to your TV and watch real time?

Once programmed with other device codes such as DVD unit, it successfully turns the unit on and off (after pushing the DVD button). Unable to use it with a very old stereo amplifier since none of product codes work and I would expect the coding is for more modern equipment. The codes can be found on line at Vizio by looking for your TV/remote users manual.
