  If the remote control for your Toshiba DVD VCR Combo isn't working, start by aiming the remote directly at the remote sensor on the unit. Ensure you're within approximately 7 meters of the unit and try reducing the light in the room. Clear any obstructions that might be blocking the path of the remote's beam. If it still doesn't work, the batteries may be weak, so replace them, making sure they are inserted correctly.

  If you're having trouble recording with your Toshiba DVD VCR Combo, check the disc space using the disc information.
