Remote VCR1/VCR2 Option

Some universal remote controls have buttons labeled VCR1 and VCR2. These remotes can operate up to two VCRs. If you have a universal remote control with this ability, your RCA VCR can be controlled with either the VCR1 or VCR2 button. See the documentation that came with your universal remote control for details about programming it to operate your RCA VCR.

In the PREFERENCES menu, press 1 to select the Remote Control feature. Then press the VCR2 button on your universal remote control to change the setting.

Then, the VCR will respond to the universal remote control’s VCR2 button. To change the remote control setting back to VCR1, display the PREFERENCES menu, press 1, and then press the VCR1 button on the universal remote control.

Note: Remember you must press VCR1 or VCR2 on a universal remote control (not included) —whichever is selected in the PREFERENCES menu— before the remote control will operate the VCR.

Auto Play

With Auto Play turned ON (the factory default setting), the VCR automatically starts playback when you insert a tape with its safety tab removed.

To Access Auto Play:

1.In the PREFERENCES menu, press 2 repeatedly to switch between Auto Play: ON and OFF.

Select ON if you want a tape with its safety tab removed to start playing automatically when inserted.

Select OFF if you do not want a tape with its safety tab removed to start playing automatically.
