The Universal Remote Control that came with your DVD recorder operates most RCA, GE, and Proscan branded components.

Additionally, the remote is capable of being programmed to operate many other brands and models of TVs, satellite receivers, or

cable boxes.

You can use this remote to operate the DVD recorder, and to access the features available. The remote is also designed to operate most RCA, GE, and Proscan components (TVs and satellite receivers). If you have another brand, you can program the remote control to operate those components (go to page 22 for instructions).

The descriptions that follow describe how each button works when operating the DVD recorder. Many buttons will perform different functions depending upon the type of disc and menu functions of the disc.

Indicator light Used to indicate status of remote control when programming it to operate other components. Also, indicates when batteries are low by flickering when you press a button on the remote.

0-9 (Number buttons) Use the number buttons to input information such as chapter numbers, track numbers, to make selections on some menu screens, and/or to change channels.

Arrow buttons (up, down, left, right) Use the arrow buttons to highlight options that appear on the screen (the arrow buttons move the highlight in the corresponding directions — up arrow moves the highlight up; left arrow moves the highlight left, etc.).
