Using the Remote Control
Using the INPUT Button
Use the INPUT button to toggle through the available Video Line Input sources (L1, L2, and
regular broadcasting signals) and regular broadcast signals. Video Line Input allows you to view
the image from a connected device (like a camcorder) through the VCR.
1. Press the remote control’s VCR button to activate VCR-controlling mode. Make sure that the
VCR is turned ON.
2. Press the remote control’s INPUT button to tune to the Video Line Input source. L1
represents the rear A/V jacks and L2 represents the front A/V jacks.
3. Press the INPUT button again to tune back to the broadcast signal you were previously
watching through the VCR.
Operating a TV with the VCR’s Remote Control
The remote control that came with your VCR can be programmed to operate most brands of
remote-controllable TVs and should already control most RCA, GE, and Proscan models without
programming.
Do You Need to Program the Remote?
To determine whether the remote control needs to be programmed to operate your TV, turn the
TV on, point the remote control at it, then press the remote control’s TV button (this puts the
remote control into TV-operating mode and should automatically turn on most RCA, GE, and
Proscan TVs). Press the remote control’s ON•OFF button to see if the TV responds to the
command. If not, the remote control needs to be programmed to control that model TV.
Programming the Remote Control
To program your remote control, you must use the code list on the next page. Look up the
brand name of your TV and the code(s) that brand uses.
Notes: This remote control may not operate all models of the brands shown in the code list.
Note the difference between the TV and VCR on-screen displays to know which component
the remote control is operating.
1. Turn on the TV.
2. Find your TV brand and code number(s) in the code list.
3. Press and hold the TV button on the remote control.
4. Enter the code from the code list.
5. Release the TV button, then press the CHAN up or down button. If the TV responds to the
remote control’s command, the remote is programmed.
6. If the TV does not respond, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your TV’s
brand.
