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 VCR, point the remote at the VCR, and press the VCR1 button. Then press ON•OFF or CH + (channel up) or CH - (channel down) to see if the VCR responds to the remote commands. If not, the remote needs to be programmed.

PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE

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.

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.). Note that the AUX button can only be programmed using direct code entry. (See the next section for details.) While holding the device button, press and hold ON•OFF until the red light on the remote turns on, then release both buttons.

3.Point the remote at the device, press and release PLAY, then wait five seconds or until the LED stops flashing.

At this point the remote is searching for the correct code to program. If, after five 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 two 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.
