RCA D36120 manual Using Direct Entry

Using the Remote Control

Important

You must continue pressing the component button while you enter the code.

Let’s say you have a Zenith VCR. To program the universal remote to operate the VCR, you would:

Press and hold the VCR1 button while you enter the first code listed for Zenith in the VCR Codes column.

Release the VCR1 button. Press ON•OFF to see if the VCR responds. If it doesn’t, follow the same steps, but enter the second code for Zenith VCRs instead of the first.

Note

Some of the remote’s buttons might operate differently for other components, especially when you’re using another component’s menu system.

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.

Using Direct Entry

1.Turn on the component to be programmed.

2.Look up the brand and code number(s) for the component on the code list in this section.

3.Point the remote at the component.

4.Press and hold the component button you want to program on the remote.

5.Enter the 4-digit code from the remote control code list on the following pages. If the indicator flashes, you have either entered an invalid code or the button isn’t programmable.

6.Release the component button, and then press ON•OFF to see if the component responds to the command. If it doesn’t, try pressing the component button and then ON•OFF again.

•If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your brand, until the component responds to the remote commands.

•If you try all the codes for your component brand and none work, try the automatic code search method. If automatic code search doesn’t find the code, the remote is not compatible with your component.
