Using the Remote Control
You’ll use these buttons when
you program the remote.
Programming the Remote to Operate
Other Components
The universal remote can be programmed to operate most brands of
remote controllable components. The remote is already programmed to
operate most RCA, GE, and PROSCAN components.
Also, the AUX button can be programmed to operate most brands of an
additional remote-controllable component.
Note: The TV button can’t be programmed on this remote.
Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote
To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed for
your component, turn the component ON. For example, to program the
remote for a VCR, turn on the VCR. Point the remote at the VCR, and
press the VCR1 button. Then press ON•OFF or CH + (channel up) or
CH – (channel down) to see if the VCR responds to the remote
commands. If the component does not respond, the remote needs to be
programmed.
Programming the Remote
There are two ways to program the remote control:
• automatic code search
• direct entry
Using Automatic Code Search
The following instructions can be used to program the remote to operate
each of your components. If you want to stop the automatic code search
without programming any of your components, press CLEAR until the
indicator on the remote turns off.
1. Turn on the component you want to operate (VCR, DVD player, etc.)
2. Press and hold the component button you want to program (VCR1,
DVD, etc.). While holding the component button, press and hold
ON•OFF until the indicator on the remote turns on, then release
both buttons.
3. Point the remote at the component. Press and release PLAY, then
wait 5 seconds or until the indicator on the remote stops flashing.

component.
Tip
To stop the automatic code search without
programming any components, press and hold
CLEAR until the indicator on the remote turns
off.
