Remote VCR1/VCR2 Option

Your VCR’s remote control unit can operate up to two compatible RCA, GE, or Proscan VCRs. Most compatible VCRs automatically respond to the VCR1 button without the remote control being programmed. If you own two compatible VCRs, test them to see if the VCR1 button turns on both. If it does, then you may want to program this VCR to respond to the VCR2 button on the remote control.

To Set the VCR1/VCR2 Option:

In the PREFERENCES menu of the desired VCR, press 1 to select Remote Control. Then press the VCR2 button on the remote control to change the setting.

The VCR will now only respond to the 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 remote control.

Note: Remember you must press VCR1 or VCR2 on the remote control— whichever is selected in the PREFERENCES menu— before the remote control will operate that VCR.
