Using the Remote Control
The remote control is capable of controlling more than just your VCR. If you have a compatible RCA, GE, Proscan, or Scenium TV, you may be able to control it.
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.
