Programming the remote to Operate Components
Your remote control can be programmed to operate most brands of remote-
controllable VCRs, audio components, DVD players, cable boxes, and many other
components. In addition to being programmed to operate your LCOS television, it’s
already programmed to operate most RCA, GE, and Proscan VCRs, DVD players,
satellite receivers, and laserdisc players.
Find out if you need to program the remote
To determine whether your 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 component responds. If the component doesn’t
respond, you need to program the remote to operate it.
How to program the remote
There are three ways to program your remote control: automatic code search,
manual code search, and direct entry (instructions are described next).
Notes:
• If approximately 30 seconds passes before a button is pressed, the display
window stops transmission to conserve battery life. If this occurs, restart
from step 1.
• To exit programming mode, press the CLEAR button at any time (EXIT
SETUP appears in the remote’s display to confirm that no new codes have
been entered).
