Using the Remote
Programming the Remote
The universal remote can be programmed to control most brands of
remote controllable VCRs, satellite receivers, and cable boxes. The
remote is already programmed to control most RCA, GE, and PROSCAN
TVs, VCRs, DVD players, laserdisc players, and satellite receivers.
Testing the Remote
To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed,
turn a device ON, such as a DVD player, point the remote at the DVD
player, and press the DVD button. Then press ON•OFF or CH ^ or v to see
if the DVD player responds to the remote commands. If not, the remote
needs to be programmed.
Using Automatic Code Search
The following instructions can be used to program the remote to control
each of the devices connected to your TV. If you want to exit the
automatic code search without programming any of your devices, press
and hold CLEAR until the LED turns off.
Note that the automatic code search will not work with the AUX button.
To program the remote using automatic code search:
1. Turn on the device you want to control (VCR, SAT, etc.).
2. Press and hold the button you want to program (VCR1, VCR2, etc.).
While holding the device button, press and hold ON•OFF until the
red light on the remote turns on, then release both buttons.
3. Press and release PLAY, then wait 5 seconds or until the LED stops
flashing.
At this point the remote is searching for the correct code to
program. If, after 5 seconds, the device you want to control does
not turn off, press PLAY again to tell the remote to search the next
set of codes.
Continue pressing PLAY until the device turns off or you have
searched through all of the codes. There are 20 total sets of codes. If
the device does not turn off after pressing PLAY 20 times, then the
remote cannot control that particular device.
If the device you want to control does turn off:
1. Press and release REVERSE, then wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step
until the device turns back on.
2. To finish, press and hold STOP until the red light on the remote
turns off.
