HOW TO SET UP YOUR RCx4

The RCx4 has 4 Device Modes (TV, VCR, SAT & DVD)

Your RCx4 can be set-up either by entering the appropriate codes from the list of codes supplied or by using either the Auto or Manual code search facility. Instructions for all three methods follow.

SET-UP BY AUTO CODE SEARCH

Probably the easiest way to set-up your RCx4 for most devices, especially if there are a lot of codes listed for your particular brand, is by Auto Code Search.

TV SETUP BY AUTO CODE SEARCH

1.Turn on your TV

2.Hold down both POWER and MUTE keys on your RCx4 simultaneously until the STATUS INDICATOR LED lights up and stays red (about 4 seconds).

5.To search, aim your RCx4 at your TV.

6.Hold down the power key for about 8 seconds until the STATUS INDICATOR lights up.

7.The STATUS INDICATOR will repeatedly flash twice then remain unlit for 1 second, flash twice and remain unlit for 1 second. The DEVICE INDICATOR key will also flash repeatedly.

8.When a suitable code is found the TV will switch off. When the TV switches off the TV DEVICE INDICATOR key must be pressed immediately to store the correct code (Please Note: if the TV DEVICE INDICATOR key is not pressed immediately the search will continue).

9.Now press the POWER key. If the TV switches on the code has been stored and you can check that other functions work properly.

10.To stop the Auto Code Search at any time press any key and the remote will go to Manual Code Search.

If you are unable to find a correct code or cannot store the code fast enough try finding the code either using Manual Code Search or by using Setup by Entering Device Code

VCR, SAT/CTV & DVD SETUP BY AUTO CODE SEARCH

Simply turn on your VCR, SAT/CTV or DVD and repeat the above procedure to search for the Device Codes for your VCR, SAT/CTV or DVD but instead of the TV DEVICE INDICATOR key press either the VCR, SAT or DVD DEVICE INDICATOR key in steps 4 & 8.

SETUP BY ENTERING DEVICE CODE

(Note: If no keys are pressed on the RCx4 for a period longer than 10 seconds during set-up, the RCx4 will automatically exit the set-up process and revert to the last entered code. This feature reduces accidental erasure of your codes)

SET UP FOR TV

1.Turn on your TV

2.Look up the brand name of your TV in the DEVICE CODE LIST (See pages 7-11).

3.Look up the 3-digit Device Code next to the brand name of your equipment. If there is more than one code listed for your brand, start with the first code listed and follow the instructions below:

4.Hold down both POWER and MUTE keys on your RCx4 simultaneously until the STATUS INDICATOR LED lights up and stays red (about 4 seconds).

8.Try the keys on your RCx4 that correspond to similar keys on your original remote control, especially those you use most. (Note that the RCx4 will exit the set-up procedure if you do not press any keys on the RCx4 for more than 10 seconds). If your TV works on all or most of the keys on your RCx4, you have entered a suitable Device Code. Go to step 11. (Note: Your RCx4 will only operate functions controlled by your original remote nor are the supplied codes guaranteed to operate all these functions)

9.If the Device Code does not work properly on your TV, press the TV INDICATOR KEY once. The STATUS INDICATOR LED will flash briefly, and remain lit. The TV INDICATOR key should still be RED. (If either of the indicators switch off whilst you are still programming your RCx4, you should start again from step 3.)

10.Repeat steps 7-9 with the other codes listed for your brand of TV until your RCx4 operates most or all of the functions that correspond with the keys on your original remote control.
