About Programming the
Remote
The universal remote’s TV and SAT•CABLE buttons can be
programmed to control other brands of remote controlled
TVs, digital satellite receivers, and cable boxes. Your
remote is already programmed to operate most ProScan,
RCA, and GE televisions as well as digital satellite receivers.
The AUX button can be programmed to control a ProScan
or RCA auxiliary component.
Testing the Remote
To determine whether the universal remote needs to be
programmed, turn the component on (such as a TV), point
the remote at the TV and press the TV button. Then press
ON•OFF, CH +, or CH - to see if the TV responds to the
remote commands. If the TV does not respond, then the
remote control needs to be programmed.
Programming the Remote to
Control a TV, Satellite Receiver,
or Cable Box
The remote features Code Search, a technology that largely
automates the programming process. Follow these steps to
program the remote to control a TV, digital satellite
receiver, or cable box.
1. Turn on the component you want to control (TV, digital
satellite receiver, or cable box).
2. Press and hold the button you want to program (TV or
SAT•CABLE). While holding the component button,
press and hold ON•OFF until the LED on the remote
flashes, then release both buttons.
3. Press and release PLAY, then wait five seconds.
The remote searches through a set of codes. If, after five
seconds, the component does not turn off, press PLAY
again to tell the remote to search the next set of codes.
You can press FORWARD to individually search through
the last ten codes that were transmitted when you
pressed PLAY.
4. Repeat step 3 until the component turns off or you
have searched through all of the codes.
You’ll use these buttons when you
program the remote to control a TV,
digital satellite receiver, or cable box.
