REVERSE PLAY

STOP

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

Important Note: The remote may not be compatible with all models of all brands of components. It also may not operate all functions of your component.

Tip

By default, the AUX button is programmed for a second RCA VCR. If auto tuning is set up, it will tune to VCR2 input channel.

Programming the Remote to Operate Other Components

The universal remote can be programmed to operate many brands of remote- controllable VCRs, audio components, DVD players, cable boxes, satellite receivers and other components. In addition to being programmed to operate your television, it’s already programmed to operate most RCA, GE, and Proscan components.

The AUX button can be programmed to operate most brands of an additional remote-controllable component: satellite receiver, cable box, DVD, VCR, and an audio component. A second and third RCA TV can be programmed to any component button, except the TV button. Go to page 66 for more information on programming the remote to another TV.

Note: The TV button can’t be programmed on this remote to control any component; it controls only this TV.

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 VCR, do the following:

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

2.Point the remote at the component.

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

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

Programming the Remote

There are two ways to program the remote control to operate other components: Automatic Code Search and Direct Entry.

Using Automatic Code Search

Note: The AUX button can only search VCR codes, but can be used for a non-VCR device by programming it with direct entry method.

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 and hold CLEAR until the indicator on the remote turns off.

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

2.Press and hold the component button you want to program (VCR, DVD, etc.). While holding the component button, press and hold ON•OFF until the component button on the remote turns on, then release both buttons.

3.Point the remote at the component.
