Using the Remote Control
Your VCR’s remote control is capable of controlling more than just your VCR. If
you have compatible RCA, GE, or Proscan TV, you may be able to control it
without any additional steps.
In order for the VCR’s remote control to operate a compatible RCA, GE, or
Proscan TV, you must first press the TV button on the remote control. For
example, if you wanted to change the TV’s channel, you would need to hit the
TV button first to put the remote control in TV-controlling mode, and then press
the CHAN up or down button. To rewind a tape in the VCR, you would first
press the VCR button on the remote control to put it into VCR-controlling mode,
and then press the REVERSE button.
Buttons of the Remote Control
0-9 (Number buttons) Enter channel numbers and time settings directly
through the remote control.
To enter a two-digit channel, press the two digits. To enter a three-digit channel,
press and hold the first digit for two seconds until two dashes appear to the
right of the number, then add the second two. Example: to tune to channel 123,
press and hold 1 for two seconds, then, when the dashes appear (--) press 2,
then press 3.
CHAN (up and down) buttons Scan up or down through the VCR’s stored
channels. Press once to change the channel up or down; press and hold to
continue changing channels.
CLEAR Removes any menu or display from the screen and returns the display
to the normal signal.
FORWARD Advances the tape in the VCR forward. If in PLAY mode, the
FORWARD button starts fast-motion scan. If the tape in STOP mode, the
FORWARD button starts fast forwarding.
F. ADV (Frame Advance) Advances the tape one frame at a time during play-
pause mode.
GO BACK Depending on which component the remote control is set to
operate, this button returns the TV or VCR to the previously viewed channel.
INFO Shows the VCR’s status displays on the TV screen. Press the INFO
button once to display the day, date, time, and tape counter. Press the INFO
button a second time to display just the tape counter. Press the INFO button a
third time to clear the displays.
INPUT Selects between the video line inputs and the VCR’s tuner. Video line
input refers to the signal coming from another component connected to the A/V
input jacks on the back or front of the VCR.
