Controlling Compatible VCRs
The digital remote control that came packed
with your TV controls your TV and up to
two compatible VCRs, including most other
brands.
To program the remote, just press
VCR 1 (or VCR 2), then SETUP, then the
two-digit code number for your brand of
VCR.
Note About Controlling Two VCRs
• This remote can control two VCRs
independently as long as each VCR operates
on a different remote transmitting code.
• Some newer VCRs are capable of working on
either of two remote codes. These VCRs have
either a switch labeled VCR1/VCR2 or an on-
screen display titled REMOTE VCR1/VCR2.
You can then set your new VCR to respond to
the remote's VCR 2 button and your older
VCR to respond to the VCR 1 button.
• Some older VCRs have a NORM/UNIFIED
switch that can also respond to either the
VCR I or VCR 2 button on the remote. Place
this switch in the UNIFIED position for the
VCR to respond to the VCR 1 button or in the
NORM position for the VCR 2 button. In the
NORM position, you must program the
VCR 2 button to respond to code number 05.
• If neither of your VCRs have switchable code
capabilities, you still may be able to use the
VCR1/VCR2 feature to control two VCRs of
the same brand since many older VCRs use
remote codes that are different than newer
VCRs. You may want to experiment to see
what works with your particular VCRs.

Refer to the chart below to find the
code number that corresponds to the
brand name of your VCR. Keep
this number in mind. If more than
one number is listed, you may need
to try each one separately until you
find the one that works.
Press VCR 1 or VCR 2 button on
remote (depending on which button
you want to program for that VCR).
You can program each button to
control a different VCR.
Press SETUP button on remote.
Press two number buttons (first one,
then the other) to enter the code
number for your brand of VCR.
Note: Youmust press the two number
buttonswithin three seconds of pressing
the SETUP button.
Point the remote at the VCR and
press the ON/OFF button to test the
code number.
• If the right number was entered,
the VCR should turn on.
• If the VCR does not react to the
remote, repeat steps 1 thru 5 with
another code number.
Note: Some older VCRs do not have an
ON/OFF switch on their remote
controls and cannot be turned on and off
remotely. If you have this type of VCR,
you can test the code number by
pressing the CHAN button instead of
the ON/OFF button. Make sure the
VCR is already turned on when you test
the code number.
Operating Notes:
• After the remote is programmed, it will
turn on the VCR whenever you press
VCR 1 (or VCR 2) and then ON/OFF.
• You'll be able to control the VCR
whenever the remote is in the "VCR
mode". To put the remote in the "VCR
mode", press the VCR 1 or VCR 2 button
(depending on which button you
programmed). The other VCR buttons
(such as REC, PLAY, REW, FF, STOP,
and PAUSE) will control the VCR when
the remote is in the "VCR mode".
• To turn off the VCR, press VCR 1 (or
VCR 2), then ON/OFF.
• To change channels on the VCR, press
VCR 1 (or VCR 2), then CHANNEL up
or down.
• You may need to reprogram the remote
when you change the batteries. Try not
to press any buttons when changing
batteries.
