Auto Tuning Feature

The way you set up the Auto Tuning feature in the TV’s menu corresponds to the component buttons on the remote and the way you have each component connected to your TV. When you set auto tuning, you’re telling the TV what channel or input to tune to when you press the VCR, DVD, AUDIO, or SAT/CAB button on the remote control. This is especially useful for going directly to an input like DTVLink.

With the Auto Tuning feature, you can set up the TV to tune to the channel or input you want to watch by pressing that component’s button. Auto Tuning for the TV button cannot be set.

Notes: The AUX button by default is set up for a second RCA VCR. If you need to reprogram the AUX button, or instead want to program the VCR button, use the 2001 code. Then use the VCR2 option in the auto tuning menu to set auto tuning.

If you have two RCA satellite receivers, you can control each separately. Program the second receiver with the AUX button using the 5001 code. Then use the RCA SAT2 option in the auto tuning menu to set auto tuning.
