RCA D61W136DB manual Programming the Remote to Operate Other Components, Using Direct Entry

Using the Remote Control

You’ll use these buttons when you program the remote.

Important: The remote may not be compatible with all models of all brands of components. It also may not operate all functions of the remote that came with your component.

Important note for direct entry

You must continue pressing the component button while you enter the code.

Let’s say you have a Zenith VCR. To program the universal remote to operate the VCR, you would:

Press and hold the VCR button while you enter the first code listed for Zenith in the VCR Codes column.

Release the VCR button. Press ON•OFF to see if the VCR responds. If it doesn’t, follow the same steps, but enter the second code for Zenith VCRs instead of the first.

Programming the Remote to Operate Other Components

The universal remote can be programmed to operate most brands of remote controllable components. The remote is already programmed to operate most RCA, GE, and Proscan components.

Also, the AUX/HD button can be programmed to operate most brands of an additional remote-controllable component (such as a VCR, DVD player, CD player, satellite receiver, cable box or audio receiver).

Note: The TV button can’t be programmed on this remote.

IMPORTANT: Don't program the DVD button on this remote to control a different (external) DVD player unless you don't plan to use this remote with your internal DVD player. If you program the DVD button to control an external DVD player, then the remote won't control the internal DVD player.

Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote

To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed to operate one of the components connected to your TV, such as a VCR, do the following:

1.Turn on the component (in this example, a VCR).

2.Point the remote at the component.

3.Press the corresponding component button (in this example, the VCR button).

4.Press ON•OFF to see if the VCR responds. If the VCR doesn’t respond, you need to program the remote to operate it.

Programming the Remote

There are two ways to program the remote control:

•direct entry

•automatic code search

Using Direct Entry

1.Turn on the component you want to operate (VCR, satellite receiver, etc.)

2.Look up the brand and code number(s) for the component on the code list in this section.

3.Press and hold the component button you want to program on the remote.

4.Enter the 4-digit code from the remote control code list starting on page 22. If the component button flashes, you have either entered an invalid code or the button isn’t programmable.

5.Release the component button, point remote at component, and then press ON•OFF to see if the component responds to the command. If it doesn’t, try pressing the component button and then ON•OFF again.

•If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your brand, until the component responds to the remote commands.

•If you try all the codes for your component brand and none work, try the automatic code search method. If automatic code search doesn’t find the code, the remote is not compatible with your component.
