Find out if the remote can operate your TV

This remote control is designed to operate most RCA, GE, and Proscan TVs.

1.Press the TV button.

2.Press the ON•OFF button (if the TV turns on or off, this remote will operate the TV).

3.If that doesn’t work, you can try programming the remote by following the instructions below.

Programming the remote to operate your TV

There are two ways to program this remote control to operate other brands of TVs: Direct Entry and Automatic Code Search (both methods are described below).

Direct Entry

1.Turn on the TV.

2.Look up the brand and code number(s) from the list on page 23.

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

4.Keep holding down the TV button, and enter the first code from the code list for your brand (page 23).

5.Release the TV button.

6.Point the remote toward the TV and press the ON•OFF button to see if the TV turns off. If it doesn’t, press the TV button and then press ON•OFF. If you get no response, follow steps 1-5 again, but enter the next code from the code list for your brand of television.

If you try all the codes for your TV brand and none work, try the Automatic Code Search method. If Automatic Code Search doesn’t work, the remote is not compatible with your TV.

Note: This remote may not be compatible with all brands and models of televisions. It may also not operate all the functions of your TV.

Automatic Code Search

The Automatic Code Search method tests all of the codes for a specific component button. If you want to stop the automatic code search without programming any of your components, press CLEAR until the indicator on the remote turns off.

1.Turn on the TV.

2.Press and hold the TV button. While you continue pressing the TV button, press and hold the ON•OFF button until the indicator light on the remote turns on— then release both buttons.

3.Point the remote at the TV. Press and release PLAY, then wait 5 seconds or until the indicator on the remote stops flashing.

At this point the remote is searching for the correct code to program (you’ll know it’s found the correct code when the TV turns off, go to step 4). If, after 5 seconds, the TV doesn’t turn off, press PLAY again to tell the remote to search the next set of codes.

Continue pressing PLAY until the TV turns off or you have searched through all of the codes. The component buttons flash when all the codes have been searched, the TV button turns off, and the remote exits Automatic Code Search. If the TV does not turn off after trying all the codes, the remote can’t be programmed to operate your brand of TV— you’ll have to use the remote that came with your TV.

4.When the TV turns off, the remote has found the proper code. Press and release REVERSE, then wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step until the TV turns back ON.

5.To finish, press and hold STOP until the indicator on the remote turns off.
