Using the Remote Control
Important for Direct Entry
You must continue pressing the component
button while you enter the code.
Let’s say you have a Zenith VCR. To program the
universal remote to operate the VCR, you
would:
Press and hold the VCR1 button while you enter
the first code listed for Zenith in the VCR Codes
column.
Release the VCR1 button. Press ON•OFF to see if
the VCR responds. If it doesn’t, follow the same
steps, but enter the second code for Zenith
VCRs instead of the first.
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 many brands of remote-
controllable VCRs, audio components, DVD players, cable boxes, satellite
receivers and other components. In addition to being programmed to operate
your television, it’s already programmed to operate most RCA, GE, and
PROSCAN components.
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 to operate
one of the components connected to your TV, such as a VCR, do the following:
1. Turn on the component (in this example, a VCR).
2. Point the remote at the component.
3. Press the corresponding component button (in this example, VCR1).
4. Press ON•OFF to see if the VCR responds. If the VCR doesn’t respond, you
need to program the remote to operate it.
Programming the Remote
There are two ways to program the remote control:
• direct entry
• automatic code search
Using Direct Entry
Note: The AUX button can only be programmed using direct entry.
1. Turn on the component you want to operate (VCR, DVD player, etc.)
2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the component on the code list
in this section.
3. Press and hold the component button you want to program on the remote.
4. Enter the 4-digit code from the remote control code list on the following
pages. If the indicator flashes, you have either entered an invalid code or
the button isn’t programmable.
5. Release the component button, point remote at component, and then press
ON•OFF to see if the component responds to the command. If it doesn’t,
try pressing the component button and then ON•OFF again.
• If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for
your brand, until the component responds to the remote commands.
