Using the Remote Control

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, VCRs, satellite receivers, cable boxes, and DVD Players. This remote control should already control most RCA, GE, and Proscan TVs without any programming.

Do You Need to Program the Remote Control?

To determine whether the remote control needs to be programmed to operate your TV, turn the TV on, point the VCR’s 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 off 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 operate that model TV.

Programming the Remote Control

To program your remote control, you must use the TV Codes 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.

Note the difference between the TV and VCR on-screen displays to know which component the remote control is operating.

1.Turn on the TV.

2.Find your TV brand and code number(s) in the code list on the next page.

3.Press and hold the TV button on the remote control.

4.Enter the code number from the code list using the remote control’s number buttons.

5.Release the TV button, then press the CHAN up or down button.

If the TV responds to the remote control’s command, the remote is programmed.

If the TV does not respond to the command, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your TV’s brand.

Operating the TV

After you set up the remote control, see which buttons operate your TV:

1.Point the remote control at the TV, and press the TV button. If the TV does not turn on/off, press the TV button and then press the ON •OFF button.

2.You may want to experiment to see which buttons operate your TV. Try pressing buttons, such as VOL and MUTE. See the button descriptions in this chapter for details about what each remote control button does.
