  Melanie GonzalezAug 20, 2025
  If the remote control for your Toshiba TV DVD Combo isn't working, make sure you're pointing it directly at the sensor on the unit. Also, try moving closer (within 5 meters) and reducing the amount of light in the room. Remove any obstacles that might be blocking the signal. If it still doesn't work, the batteries may be weak or not inserted correctly, so replace them or check their placement.
