Chapter 2: The Remote Control
Explanation of Buttons
You can use this remote to operate the DVD/VCR, and to access the features available. The remote is also designed to
operate most RCA, GE, and Proscan components (TVs, VCRs, DVD players, audio components and satellite receivers).
If you have another brand, you can program the remote control to operate those components (go to page 23 for
instructions).
The descriptions that follow describe how each button works when operating the DVD/VCR. Many buttons will perform
different functions depending upon the type of disc and menu functions of the disc.
0-9 (Number buttons) Use the number buttons to input information such as chapter numbers, track numbers, to make
selections on some menu screens, and/or to change channels.
Arrow buttons (up, down, left, right) Use the arrow buttons to highlight options that appear on the screen (the
arrow buttons move the highlight in the corresponding directions—up arrow moves the highlight up; left arrow moves the
highlight left, etc.).
ADVANCE When playing a disc or tape, moves forward approximately 30 seconds. Not applicable for VCDs or mp3
fi les.
AGAIN Accesses the Scene Again™ feature—replays the last several seconds (approximately 10) of the DVD disc or
tape you’re playing. Not applicable for VCDs or mp3 fi les.
ANGLE Accesses various camera angles that might have been added to a pre-recorded disc when it was created. Not
available on all discs.
ANTENNA Acts like a TV/VCR button that is on most VCRs—on your DVD/VCR switches the RF Output between the
TV/cable signal and the DVD/VCR output. In SAT mode, functions as a TV/SAT button for an RCA satellite receiver.
AUDIO Puts the remote in audio mode to operate a component, such as an audio receiver or amplifi er, that you’ve
programmed to work with this button.
AUX Puts the remote in auxiliary mode to operate a component (such as a cable box, VCR, DVD player, satellite
receiver, or audio receiver) that you’ve programmed to work with this button.

this button.
