26 Chapter 2
Using the Remote Control
Tip
By default, the AUX button is programmed for
a second RCA VCR. If auto tuning is set up, it
will tune to VCR2 input channel.
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 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 58 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 button can only search VCR codes, but can be used for
a non-VCR device by programming it with direct entry method.
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 and hold 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 (VCR, DVD,
etc.). While holding the component button, press and hold ON•OFF until
the component button on the remote turns on, then release both buttons.
3. Point the remote at the component.
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.
