Chapter 6: Additional Information
Remote Control
Remote won’t work
• You might be in the wrong mode. To operate your DVD/VCR, press the DVD/VCR button on the remote before you press any other buttons. If you’re
operating the TV, press the TV button fi rst, etc. (this remote operates most RCA, GE, and Proscan TVs and satellite receivers, and you can program it to operate
other brands of televisions).
• Insert new batteries in the remote.
• Operate the remote control at a distance of no more than 20 feet.
• Remove any obstacles between the remote and the DVD/VCR or other component. If your DVD/VCR is in an entertainment cabinet, the glass doors might
obstruct the remote control from operating the DVD/VCR. Open the doors.
Can’t program the remote
• The universal remote control that came with your DVD/VCR is already programmed to operate most RCA, GE, and Proscan components. You can program it
to operate many other brands and models of TVs, cable boxes, digital satellite receivers, audio components, etc. However, the remote doesn’t support all brands
and all models so there is a possibility the remote can’t be programmed to operate your component. Instructions for programming the remote control are on
page 21.
• If you’re trying to program the AUX button, you must use the Direct Entry method, NOT the Automatic Code Search method.
Lost the remote control
• To order a new remote control, go to page 60. The buttons on the front of the DVD/VCR operate the DVD/VCR’s basic functions, but you won’t be able to
use the menu system without the remote control. The buttons on the front of the unit are described on page 7. Also, if you have another RCA, GE, or Proscan
brand product with a remote control that has a DVD button, some of the buttons will probably operate this product if you press the DVD button fi rst.
Handling Cautions
• Before connecting other components to this DVD/VCR, be sure to turn all components off.
• Don’t move the player while a disc is being played. The disc may get scratched or broken, and the player’s internal parts may be damaged.
• Don’t put any container fi lled with liquid or any small metal objects on the DVD/VCR.
• Don’t put your hand into the disc tray.
• Don’t place anything other than the disc in the disc tray.
• Exterior infl uences such as lightning and static electricity can affect normal operation. If this occurs, turn the unit off and on again with the STANDBY•ON button, or
disconnect and then reconnect the AC power cord to the AC power outlet. The unit should operate normally.
• Be sure to remove the disc and turn off the player after use.
Maintenance of Cabinet
For safety reasons, when cleaning the cabinet be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet.
• Do not use benzene, thinner, or other solvents for cleaning.
• Wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth.
Formation of Condensation
• Due to sharp changes in temperature and humidity, condensation may form if warm air comes in contact with any cold parts inside the player.
• When condensation forms inside the player, the player may not operate correctly. If this occurs, leave the player at room temperature until the inside of the player
becomes dry and operational.
• If condensation forms on a disc, wipe the disc with a soft, dry cloth by moving the cloth from the center hole toward the outer edge.
Handling Discs
• Don’t touch the disc’s signal surfaces. Hold by the edges or by one edge and the hole in the center.
• Don’t affi x labels or adhesive tape to label surfaces. Don’t scratch or damage the label.
• Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.
