Problem The remote does not operate your component

Problem: The remote does not operate your component.

•You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode the remote is in (for example, REC only works in VCR Mode).

•You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing the corresponding component key (TV, VCR, DVD•AUX, or DBS•CABLE) so the remote knows which component you want to operate.

•Remove any obstacles between the remote and the component. Make sure to aim the remote at the IR sensor on the component.

•Make sure the batteries are properly installed (See Battery Installation on page 3).

•Replace the batteries with two new AAA batteries. Reprogramming may be required.

•Reset the remote. Remove the batteries, then press and hold the number 1 key on the remote for several seconds to reset the microprocessor inside the remote. Release the number 1 key, reinstall the batteries, and try the remote again. Reprogramming will be required.

Problem: The remote is not performing commands properly.

•You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing the corresponding component key (TV, VCR, DVD•AUX, or DBS•CABLE) so the remote knows which component you want to operate.

•Make sure component is “ready” (e.g., DVD player has disc loaded; VCR has tape loaded, etc.).

•You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode the remote is in (for example, REC only works in VCR mode).

•If you’re trying to turn on an RCA, GE or PROSCAN component, press the component key (TV, VCR,

DVD•AUX, or DBS•CABLE) instead of the ON•OFF key.

•If operating a VCR to record, you must press the REC key two times.

•If you’re trying to change channels, try pressing the ENTER key after entering the channel number as this is a requirement of certain models and brands.

•There is a possibility that a programmed code may only be able to control some of your component features (e.g., only turns a component on and off). Follow the steps provided for programming the remote (See Programming Sections on pages 5-7). If the component can be turned on and off, make sure you press the CHAN UP/DOWN key to see if the component responds. If not, try the next code from the list.

Problem: The VCR won’t record.

•As a safety feature, you must press the REC key twice to begin recording.

•Make sure the tape is properly loaded in the VCR.

•Make sure the tape is not write-protected. If the safety

tab is removed, the tape is write-protected and you cannot record onto that tape.

Problem: The remote will not change channels.

•You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing the corresponding component key (TV, VCR, DVD•AUX, or DBS•CABLE) so the remote knows which component you want to operate.

•Press the ENTER key after you enter a channel number.
