Programming Device Control
Before you can start using this remote, you must program it
to control your components.
NOTES:
The RCRP05B Cable Replacement Remote is preprogrammed
to operate an RCA TV, a Toshiba DVD player, an RCA VCR,
a Pioneer audio receiver, and a Motorola cable box. If you
own these brands of these devices, test the remote with
them. If they work, you do not have to program the remote
to operate them.
For control of a Combo device (for example, a TV/VCR
combo), skip this section and perform the instructions
in the “Setting Up a Combo Unit” section. Also refer
to the “Device Table” to find out which devices can be
programmed onto each device key.
1. Turn on a device and, if applicable, insert video media,
(e.g.,cassetteordisc).
NOTE: Please read steps 2 through 5 completely before
proceeding. Highlight or write down the codes and
device you wish to program before moving on to step 2.
2. Ontheremotecontrol,pressadevicekeyonce(i.e.,DVD/
VCR,DVR/AUX,AUD,TV,orCBL/SAT);itwillblinkonce.
3. PressandholdSETUPuntiltheselectedmodekeyblinks
twice,thenreleaseSETUP.
4. Use the codes in the accompanying code list to locate
the type of device and brand name and then enter
the first four-digit code for your device. If performed
correctly, the selected mode key will blink twice.
NOTE: If the selected mode key emits a long blink,
the entry is invalid. Repeat steps 2 through 4 and try
entering the same code again.
5. AimtheremotecontrolatthedeviceandpressPOWER
once. The device should turn off. If it does not, repeat
steps 2 through 4, trying each code for your brand until
you find one that works. If it still does not respond,
trysearchingforthecode(seethe“SearchingforYour
Code”section).
NOTE: If the device does not have a POWER key (e.g.,
DVD and VCR), press the
(Play) key.
6. Onceyou’vefoundacodethatturnsyourdeviceonand
off,testotherremotecommandsforthatdevice(e.g.,
volume,channel,menu,etc.).
NOTE: By default, the CH+/- keys change channels on
the CBL/SAT device regardless of what mode you’re in.
So, you should only use these keys to test for CBL/SAT
device codes at this point.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 for each device you want the
remote control to operate. For future reference, write
down each working device code in the boxes below.

Setting Up a Combo Unit
IfyouownacombounitsuchasaTV/VCRCombooraTV/
DVDCombo,youneedtofollowspecialstepstosetitup.
Perform the following instructions to control combo device:
1. ForaTV/VCRCombo,turnonyourTV/VCRComboand
insertavideocassette.(ForaTV/DVDCombo,inserta
DVD).
2. Ontheremotecontrol,pressDVD/VCRonce;itwillblink
once.ThenpressandholdSETUPuntiltheDVD/VCRkey
blinks twice.
3. Use the codes in the accompanying code list to locate the
brand name and enter the first four-digit code for your
combodevice(forexample,TV/VCR).Ifyouperformthis
procedurecorrectly,theDVD/VCRkeywillblinktwice.
NOTE: If the DVD/VCR key did not blink twice after
entering the codes last digit, repeat steps 2 and 3 and
try entering the same code again. If you’ve located
a setup code that works for your combo device (for
example, a TV/VCR Combo) and a separate TV code
is also listed, you’ll need to program this code into
the remote control to access volume control (see the
“Programming Device Control” section).
4. Aimtheremotecontrolatyourcombodevice(for
example,TV/VCRCombo)andpressPOWERonce.The
device should turn off. If it does not respond, repeat
steps 2 and 3, trying each code listed for your brand until
you find one that works. If it still does not respond, try
searchingforthecode(seethe“SearchingforYourCode”
section).
5. For future reference, write down each working device
code in the boxes below:
TV/VCRorTV/DVDCode:
TVCode(ifused):
Searching For Your Code
If your home entertainment device does not respond to the
RCRP05B Cable Replacement Remote after trying all of the
codes listed for your brand, or if your brand is not listed at
all, try searching for your code.
Forexample,tosearchforacodeforyourTV:
1. TurnonyourTV.
2. Ontheremotecontrol,pressTVonce;itwillblinkonce.
ThenpressandholdSETUPuntiltheTVkeyblinkstwice.
3. Enter991.TheTVkeywillblinktwice.
4. AimtheremotecontrolattheTVandpressPOWERonce.
5. Press and release the CH+ key continuously, then stop
whentheTVturnsoff.
NOTE: In the search mode, the remote control will send
IR codes from its library to the selected device, starting
with the most popular code first.
6. PressPOWER.TheTVshouldturnon,thenpressSETUP
oncetolockinthecode.TheLEDwillblinktwiceto
indicate that the code is saved.
NOTE: If the TV does not turn on during step 6, then
slowly press and release CH- to go back through the
codes, then press SETUP when the TV turns on.
7.TestotherremotecommandsfortheTV(e.g.,volume,
menu,etc.).Ifthecommandsyouwanttousewithyour
TVwork,you’venishedprogrammingforyourTV.If
they don’t, repeat steps 1-4 above. In step 5, don’t stop
whenyourTVturnsoffthersttime—keeppressing
CH+ until it turns off again.
NOTE: By default, the CH+/- keys change channels on
the CBL/SAT device regardless of what mode you’re in.
So, you should only use these keys to test for CBL/SAT
device codes at this point.
8. To search for the codes of your other devices, repeat steps
1through7,butsubstitutetheappropriatekey(e.g.,
DVD/VCR,DVR/AUX,AUD,orCBL/SAT)forthedevice
you’re searching for.
Checking the Codes
If you have set up your remote control by searching for your
device code, you may need to find out which four-digit code
is operating your equipment.
Forexample,tondoutwhichcodeisoperatingyourTV:
1. Ontheremotecontrol,pressTVonce;itwillblinkonce.
ThenpressandholdSETUPuntiltheTVkeyblinkstwice.
2. Enter990.TheTVkeywillblinktwice.
3. To view the code for the first digit, press 1 once. Count
thenumberoftimestheTVkeyblinks(e.g.,3blinks=3)
andwritedownthenumberintheleft-mostTVCodebox
inthe“ProgrammingDeviceControl”section.
 
 
   
 
NOTE: If a code digit is 0, the selected mode key will
not blink.
4. Repeat step 3 three more times for the remaining digits.
Use 2 for the second digit, 3 for the third digit, and 4 for
thefourthdigit.FinishwritingdownthecodeintheTV
Code boxes.
5. To check for other device codes, repeat steps 1 through 4,
butsubstitutetheappropriatekey(e.g.,DVD/VCR,DVR/
AUX,AUD,orCBL/SAT)forthedeviceyouarechecking.
Writedownthecodesintheappropriateboxesinthe
