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.

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.
