CONTROLLING YOUR TV WITH THE VCR'S REMOTE CONTROL
60
You need to program the VCR's remote control to send signals that your TV will
recognize and respond to. Here's what to do:
Compatibility
 The remote control is designed to be operated with many televisions and cable
converters, but will not work with every one made. If your TV or cable box does not
respond the way is should when you program if as explained below, this remote may be
incapable of operating it.
 Once you have programmed the remote, you won't have to do it again until you
change the batteries.
PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE CONTROL
1
Turn your TV on (any channel is okay).
2
Aim the VCR's remote control at your TV set. Hold down the TV button (not the
VCR/TV button) while you press the number corresponding to your brand of television
as shown in the chart.
For example:
If you have an RCA television, press TV and 0 at the same time. If this button
combination sends a signal that matches with your TV, the channel will change on the
TV, and you'll know the remote is set to control the television.
Notes:
 If that button combination does not change the TV channel, go through the whole list of
button combinations one by one until you find one that does change your TV channel.
 Also, if your brand of TV is not listed in the chart, try all the number buttons. One of
them may work for you.
 If the TV channel still doesn't change after going through all the button combinations
listed, it is likely that you will not be able to program this remote control for your TV.
