Tried the VOL and CH buttons and Select trying to move/select the various headings of the main Menu screen but there's no movement so can't select anything.

Any other thoughts on how to operate the TV Menu?

Thanks

OK, I looked at all the Toshiba TV combo upgrade files that we have and came up with the following codes for you to try...

vcr/0045
189 - UP
193 - DOWN
105 - LEFT
040 - RIGHT
038 - SELECT

dvd/0503
189 - Cursor Up
193 - Cursor Down
105 - Cursor Left
040 - Cursor Right
038 - Enter

tv/0156
191 - Up Arrow
195 - Down Arrow
248 - Left Arrow (Back)
249 - Right Arrow (Next)
065 - Enter

I'm a complete newb, could you explain how to use the codes above to get the arrows to work, say for the TV menu first? I don't quite understand the instructions you wrote earlier.
Thanks

You should already have the TV/0156 setup code assigned to the TV button, and the VCR/0045 code assigned to the VCR button, so you can use the instructions that I posted earlier to test those two groups of codes. If those don't work, then program the DVD/0503 setup code to the VCR button (temporarily) and these that group of codes.

As soon as you find an EFC code that works, program it permanently to the appropriate arrow button.

Then when you're done, if you used the DVD/0503 code, you can switch it back to the VCR/0045 code.

I don't completely understand the previous instructions; when to type in which code (the four number code or the three number code, or both.

Currently my TV button controls the TV on, off, TV volume and changing TV channels, but I still cannot change anything in the TV menu. That is the main thing I would like to be able to do so I can adjust contrast, color, brightness, etc. of the TV picture.

The DVD and VCR controls work fine once I've inserted a VCR tape or DVD disc.

The CBL controls work fine, and the select arrows works when in CBL mode.

Could I get specific instructions on how to activate the arrows when in TV mode so I can use the TV Menu?

Thanks again.

You must have understood the instructions first time around if you were able to re-program the TV Menu button, how is it you understood them then but don't understand them now?

Anyway, no matter, let's spell it out again.

First things first, could you temporarily assign the DVD/0503 setup code to the DVD button on the remote. (You will re-assign the DVD/0632 code for your Panasonic DVD player later).

Next, turn the TV on and press the TV button on the remote, followed by the MENU button. Hopefully this will bring up the Menu on the TV screen. So now we're looking for the codes for the arrow buttons. Which arrow button would be bext to test with? I'm guessing the RIGHT arrow button, so let's test the 3 possible codes for the RIGHT arrow.

If any of the following steps simulate the right arrow key, stop there.
1) Change the remote to DVD mode, tap the SETUP key then type 040.
2) Change the remote to VCR mode, tap the SETUP key then type 040.
3) Change the remote in TV mode, tap the SETUP key then type 249.

Did any of the above steps cause the menu to step to the right? If the arrow buttons don't work in TV mode already, step 3 won't work because that's the same code as what's already programmed in the remote.

If you get a response, tell me which step and we'll take it from there.

The TV menu moved one position to the right, but I don't know how, and it doesn't respond any more. I think it was after the first step, but really I didn't notice until I was at step two. Either way, the Menu only moved one position to the right and won't move any further, select does not work either.

I can't tell you what to do next unless you tell me which of the 3 steps caused the menu to move.

Tell you what, the arrow buttons in DVD mode (if you're using the DVD/0503 setup code) should be the same as the 4 arrow codes that I posted under DVD/0503, so just try putting the remote into DVD mode and see if they work

Ok, tried it again; when in VCR mode as soon as I typed in 040 the menu moved one step to the right. So it started originally on the clock icon, then moved to the TV icon on the first attempt with the 040 and VCR. Tried it a few more times, as soon as I type 040 the Menu moves one place to the right, but only one place and the arrow keys do not do anything nor does the select button.

In VCR mode the arrow keys aren't supposed to do anything, we're testing codes remember?

OK, so if the 040 code works the left arrow, I'm going to assume that all of the EFCs that I posted from the VCR/0045 code will work.

So, here are the steps that you should follow (exactly please, no deviating to test other buttons in the middle)

1) Hold the SETUP button, 2 flashes
2) Type 994, 2 flashes
3) Tap VCR then SETUP
4) Type 040
5) Tap TV then RIGHT ARROW

Repeat those 5 steps substituting each 3 digit EFC code from below in step 4 and the corresponding arrow key (or select) in step 5.

vcr/0045
189 - UP
193 - DOWN
105 - LEFT
040 - RIGHT
038 - SELECT

Ok, think that's got it. The TV menu functions work up down left right.

Thanks a bunch. Is there anything else I should program?

You tell me, are there any other functions that you think you need?

Would you be willing to compile a list of which functions work on this unit? If you are, what I'll do is provide a list of codes and their functions that go with each of the two setup codes that we're using, then all you would have to do is press SETUP followed by the 3 digit code to see if it works.

Then, when we're done, you could decide which (if any) of these functions that you'd like to add to the remote.
