You can use this remote to operate the DVD/VCR, and to access the features available. The remote is also designed to operate most RCA, GE, and Proscan components (TVs, VCRs, DVD players, audio components and satellite receivers). If you have another brand, you can program the remote control to operate those components (go to page 19 for instructions).

The descriptions that follow describe how each button works when operating the DVD/VCR. Many buttons will perform different functions depending upon the type of disc and menu functions of the disc.

0-9 (Number buttons) Use the number buttons to input information such as chapter numbers, track numbers, to make selections on some menu screens, and/or to change channels.

Arrow buttons (up, down, left, right) Use the arrow buttons to highlight options that appear on the screen (the arrow buttons move the highlight in the corresponding directions—up arrow moves the highlight up; left arrow moves the highlight left, etc.).
