Install and launch the IR remote app. Point your Android phone towards the Toshiba TV. Choose a remote and press the Power icon to test if it works. If your TV turns off, the remote pairing is successful. Turn on your Toshiba TV again and ensure all the functions work when pressing the icons in the remote app.
