How to Change Input on Toshiba TV Without Remote

Are you trying to access your gaming console on your Toshiba TV but the remote isn’t working? That’s not a problem, because this article will walk you through how to change the Input on your Toshiba TV using different methods.

Change Toshiba TV Input Using Physical Buttons

Over the years, there have been different Toshiba TV models. When it comes to the physical buttons on these TV models, some have an Input button that you can use for changing Input, and others will only have the Power button.

If your Toshiba TV model has the Input button (side/back of the TV Panel), turn On your Toshiba TV using the Power button and press the Input button once to access the Input menu. Then, depending on the TV model, you can use the channels, volume, or the Input button to navigate to the menu. Once you highlight the option you want, release the button to select it or if there is an OK button, press that to select the option.

On models that only have the Power button (under, side, or back of the TV Panel), press the Power button once to open the Menu. Then, press the Power button once each time you want to highlight an option. After highlighting the Input you want, take your finger off the button to select it.

Note: On some Toshiba Fire TV models, you can find both the Input/Power button on the side of the TV.
