Important: The remote may not be compatible with all models of all brands of components. It also may not operate all functions of the remote that came with your component.

Tip

To stop the automatic code search without programming any components, press and hold CLEAR until the indicator on the remote turns off.

Programming the Remote to Operate Other Components

The universal remote can be programmed to operate most brands of remote controllable components. The remote is already programmed to operate most RCA, GE, and Proscan components.

Also, the AUX button can be programmed to operate most brands of an additional remote- controllable component.

Note: The TV button can’t be programmed on this remote.

Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote

To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed for your component, turn the component ON. For example, to program the remote for a VCR, turn on the VCR. Point the remote at the VCR, and press the VCR1 button. Then press ON•OFF or CH + (channel up) or CH – (channel down) to see if the VCR responds to the remote commands. If the component does not respond, the remote needs to be programmed.

Programming the Remote

There are two ways to program the remote control:

automatic code search

direct entry

Using Automatic Code Search

The following instructions can be used to program the remote to operate each of your components. 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 component you want to operate (VCR, DVD player, etc.)

2.Press and hold the component button you want to program (VCR1, DVD, etc.). While holding the component button, press and hold ON•OFF until the indicator on the remote turns on, then release both buttons.

3.Point the remote at the component. 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. If, after 5 seconds, the component you want to operate does not turn off, press PLAY again to tell the remote to search the next set of codes.

Continue pressing PLAY until the component turns off or you have searched through all of the codes. There are 20 total sets of codes. If the component does not turn off after pressing PLAY 20 times, then the remote can’t be programmed to operate that component.

If the component you want to control does turn off:

1.Press and release REVERSE, then wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step until the device turns back ON.

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