Controlling a VCR
Controlling the VCR
The VCRÕs remote controls two compatible ProScan, RCA, or GE VCRs with the VCR1 and VCR2¥DVD
buttons. Most compatible VCRs automatically respond to VCR1 without being programmed. If you own
two compatible VCRs, test them to see if VCR1 turns on both VCRs. If it does, then you may want to
program this VCR to respond to the VCR2¥DVD button on the remote.
Program the VCR for Remote Control
Set the Remote Control feature of the VCR to the VCR1 or VCR2 position.
The remote then controls the VCR with either the VCR1 or VCR2¥DVD
button Ñ whichever position you select in the menu.
1. Press MENU¥PROG to display the VCR MAIN MENU.
2. Press 6 to display PREFERENCES.
3. Press 1 to activate the Remote Control feature.
4. Press VCR1 or VCR2¥DVD to change the setting and program this
VCR to respond to the VCR1 or VCR2¥DVD button Ñ whichever
you select.
Important Reminder: Remember you must press VCR1 or
VCR2•DVD on the remote — whichever you selected in the
menu — before the remote will operate this VCR.
