Using the Remote Control

Indicator

You’ll use these buttons when you program the remote.

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•HD button can be programmed to operate most brands of an additional remote-controllable component (such as a VCR, DVD player, satellite receiver or cable box).

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 to operate one of the components connected to your TV, such as a DVD player, do the following:

1.Turn on the component (in this example, a DVD player).

2.Point the remote at the component.

3.Press the corresponding component button (in this example, the DVD button).

4.Press ON•OFF to see if the DVD player responds. If the DVD player doesn’t respond, you need to program the remote to operate it.

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.

Note: The AUX•HD button on this remote is set by default to search for codes for DVD players only. If you want to program it for use with a different component, use the direct entry method.

1.Turn on the component you want to operate (VCR, DVD player, etc.)

2.Press and hold the component button you want to program (DVD or AUX•HD). 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.
