Trying to connect ps3 to Toshiba 2181TB without a remote control. None of the 60 channels tune in and can't see a button to switch to av. Any suggestions?

how about the source button in the tv panel does it work so you can get the a.v.

turn onto that channel, then press and hold the ON button untill you hear the beep, it should tune in to your tv

With the up and down channel selector buttons. You will have to keep pressing either button till it shows AV (something IE 1 or 2 etc). Depending what it says on the front panel for the socket.
Recommend a universal remote if you can't get a new one.

Hello

There is no MRNU button on the front panel of your Toshiba TV. So it is impossible to tune it manually. You must have its remote control to select MENU options. OK.

Hi,

Firstly, please make sure you have connected the SCART cable correctly. This should be connected to a SCART OUT socket on the DVD player to one of the SCART IN or EXT sockets on the rear of the TV.

If you have correctly connected the SCART cable the TV should automatically switch to the AV channel when you switch the DVD player power on or insert a disc.

Switch your TV on, then switch the DVD player off and then on again. If the TV does not change to the AV channel you may have the SCART cable connected incorrectly.

Not all TVs automatically switch to the AV channel when the AV device is switched on. On some TVs the AV input is on channel 0 or 99. On other TVs the AV input is not assigned to a specific channel. On these TVs you need to look for a button marked "AV", "INPUT" or "SOURCE" - either on the TV remote or on the buttons on the front of the TV. The easiest way to do this is to insert a disk into the DVD player and start it playing. Then press the "AV" "INPUT" or "SOURCE" button (whichever one you have) repeatedly until you find the signal from the DVD player.

Please check your connections and try using the "AV" "INPUT" or "SOURCE" buttons. If you are still unable to watch your DVD player, please post back with the following information:

1. Model number of the Bush TV
2. Brand and model number of the DVD player
3. If you are using any remote other than the ones supplied with the TV or DVD player, the brand and model number of the remote.

I will then be able to tell you exactly how it should be connected and which buttons (if any) you need to press to access the AV channel.

Hope this helps. Happy New Year!

You can try turning on the video game and changing that tv stations as low as they'll go. sometimes the station will go from 3, 2, aux, side video, av1, av2, etc.. Hopoe the info helps GOD Bless You

you could try connecting the ps2 and see if it will swith to av automatically.usally these telly/dvd units toggle between tv,av,and dvd.if this fails,grab a rf converter unit from a ps1,connect this to the aerial socket and tune it in to a spare channel.guaranteed to work!!!.hope this helps,regards,steve.

Hi I had the same problem so I bought a cheap universal remote controller and tuned into this model.
Once it is done, press a number on the remote controller and you can start to tune manually.

I do not know about the solution for AV channel.

first try to manuall select your av channell from your tv's remote control,if this won't work try another scart cable or port on your tv set

If the TV has no RCA inputs, then there is no "AV channel" option for it on any remote, just channel selection.

The purpose of a RCA to SCART converter (aka RF modulator) is to convert one of your channels to an A/V input. They operate (standard) on either channel 3 or 4 as selected by a switch on the converter.

If your converter is unpowered, it's entirely possible that the signal coming out is not good enough to overpower your antenna signal. In this case, you may need a powered unit (such as this one http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=5806345&productCategoryId=abcat0107025&type=product&tab=7&id=1067388827858#productdetail) which can actively "shut off" the antenna input when signal is received from the auxiliary device.
