Using the Remote Control
You’ll use these buttons when
you program the remote for other
components.
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 components.
The AUX•HD button can be programmed to operate most brands of an
additional remote-controllable component: satellite receiver, cable box,
DVD, VCR, and an audio component. A second and third RCA TV can be
programmed to any component button, except the TV button. Go to page 54
for more information on programming the remote to another TV.
Note: The TV button can’t be programmed on this remote to control
any component; it controls only this TV.
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, VCR).
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 to operate other
components: Automatic Code Search and Direct Entry.
Using Automatic Code Search
Note: The AUX•HD button can only search VCR codes, but can be used
for a non-VCR device by programming it with direct entry method. By
default, the AUX•HD button is programmed for an RCA HDTV Tuner
receiver.
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 the CLEAR button until the
component button you’re trying to program turns off.
1. Turn on the component you want to control (VCR, satellite receiver, etc.)
2. Press and hold the button you want to program. While holding the
component button, press and hold ON•OFF until all of the component
buttons (VCR, TV, DVD, AUDIO, AUX•HD, and SAT•CABLE) fl ash. Then,
release both buttons.
Important Note: The remote
may not be compatible with
all models of all brands of
components. It also may not
operate all functions of your
component.
