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

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

Programming the Remote to Operate Other Components

The universal remote can be programmed to operate many brands of remote- controllable VCRs, audio components, DVD players, cable boxes, satellite receivers and other components. In addition to being programmed to operate your television, it’s already programmed to operate most RCA components.

The AUX•HD button can be programmed to operate most brands of an additional remote-controllable component: satellite receiver, cable box, DVD, VCR, and an audio component. A second and third RCA TV can be programmed to any component button, except the TV button. Go to page 54 for more information on programming the remote to another TV.

Note: The TV button can’t be programmed on this remote to control any component; it controls only this TV.

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, VCR).

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 to operate other components: Automatic Code Search and Direct Entry.

Using Automatic Code Search

Note: The AUX•HD button can only search VCR codes, but can be used for a non-VCR device by programming it with direct entry method. By default, the AUX•HD button is programmed for an RCA HDTV Tuner receiver.

The following instructions can be used to program the remote to operate each of your components. If you want to stop the automatic code search without programming any of your components, press the CLEAR button until the component button you’re trying to program turns off.

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

2.Press and hold the button you want to program. While holding the component button, press and hold ON•OFF until all of the component buttons (VCR, TV, DVD, AUDIO, AUX•HD, and SAT•CABLE) ﬂash. Then, release both buttons.

HDTV specifications

RCA HDTVs have established themselves as reliable and affordable options in the realm of high-definition televisions. With a variety of models available, they cater to different consumer needs while delivering impressive performance and features.

One of the standout characteristics of RCA HDTVs is their commitment to delivering high-quality visuals. Most models come equipped with Full HD (1080p) resolution, ensuring that viewers enjoy vibrant colors and sharp details. This resolution significantly enhances the viewing experience, especially when watching movies or sporting events. Some RCA models even embrace 4K Ultra HD, offering four times the pixel resolution of standard Full HD, bringing enhanced clarity and a more immersive experience.

In terms of technology, RCA HDTVs utilize LED backlighting, which improves contrast and brightness while maintaining energy efficiency. This lighting technology allows for thinner screens, making RCA TVs both sleek and modern, while providing a broad color spectrum that contributes to stunning picture quality. Many RCA models also support HDR (High Dynamic Range), enabling deeper contrasts between light and dark, which amplifies the realism of the images displayed.

RCA HDTVs often come with multiple connectivity options, including several HDMI ports, USB inputs, VGA, and Ethernet, facilitating easy integration with a range of external devices. This compatibility allows users to connect gaming consoles, streaming devices, and sound systems effortlessly. Additionally, many RCA TVs feature built-in Wi-Fi, enabling access to popular streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime, effectively turning the TV into an entertainment hub.

For enhanced user experience, RCA incorporates smart TV features in many of its models. The intuitive user interface provides easy navigation through applications and settings. Voice control compatibility with smart home devices is an emerging feature in newer RCA HDTVs, allowing for convenient voice commands.

RCA’s focus on affordability ensures that consumers get quality technology without breaking the bank. The reliability and performance of RCA HDTVs have made them a popular choice not only for budget-conscious buyers but also for those looking to upgrade their home entertainment systems.

In summary, RCA HDTVs combine an array of impressive features including Full HD and 4K resolution, LED backlighting, HDR technology, multiple connectivity options, and smart capabilities. Their affordability and quality make them a noteworthy option for anyone in the market for a new television.
