Toshiba 55L711U18 user manual

1. Control Buttons: Most Toshiba TV models come with control buttons on the side or bottom panel. These buttons allow you to turn the TV on, change the volume, switch the input source, and navigate the menu options.
2. Smartphone Apps: Several universal remote apps are available for smartphones that will allow you to control your Toshiba TV. Make sure that your TV is smart and can connect to Wi-Fi, then download and install a compatible app on your smartphone. Apps like Sure Universal, Peel Universal and AnyMote are popular choices.
3. TV Controller Box: These are devices like Roku, Apple TV, or Android TV boxes that come with their own remote control. These can often be used to control other functions of your TV like changing the volume and turning the unit on/off.
4. Voice-Controlled Assistants: If your Toshiba TV is compatible with voice control technologies like Google Assistant or Alexa, you can use these to control your TV. For this, ensure your TV is properly set up to be controlled by these devices.
5. HDMI-CEC: This feature allows you to use the remote of a connected device to control multiple devices. For instance, if your TV and your DVD player are connected via HDMI and both are HDMI-CEC compatible, you could control both devices with just one of the remotes.
Before using these alternative methods, you should consult your TV's manual or the official Toshiba website to find a solution specific to your TV model.

To manually change the input on your Toshiba TV, you can follow these steps:
1. Locate the "Input" or "Source" button on your TV remote control. It is typically labeled as "Input", "Source", "Input Select", or a similar name.
2. Press the "Input" or "Source" button. This will display a list of available input sources on your TV screen.
3. Use the arrow buttons on your remote control to navigate through the input options. The options typically include HDMI, AV, Component, PC, etc. Highlight the desired input source.
4. Press the "Enter" or "OK" button on your remote control to confirm your selection.
5. Your TV will switch to the selected input source and display the content from that particular input device.
If your TV does not have a dedicated "Input" or "Source" button, you can try the following alternative methods:
- Look for a button on your remote control labeled "TV/Video", "AV", or "Input". Press this button repeatedly until you change to the desired input source.
- Some Toshiba TVs might have a "Menu" button on the remote. Press it, navigate to the "Input" or "Source" section using arrow buttons, select the desired input source, and press "Enter" or "OK".
Keep in mind that the exact steps and button labels may vary depending on the specific model and year of your Toshiba TV. If you have the user manual for your TV, it can provide more detailed instructions customized for your specific model.
