Using the Remote Control

The remote control is capable of controlling more than just your VCR. If you have compatible RCA, GE, or Proscan TV, you may be able to control it without having to program the remote. If you have another brand of TV, your VCR’s remote control may be able to operate it once it has been programmed. This chapter offers details about programming the remote control and operating TVs.

In order for the VCR’s remote control to operate a desired TV, you must first press the TV button on the remote control. Similarly, to control the VCR, press the VCR button on the remote control. Pressing any remote control button will affect either the VCR or the TV, depending on which is the active device the remote control is set to operate.
