Programming the Remote to Operate Other Components

The universal remote control can be programmed to operate most brands of remote controllable VCRs, satellite receivers and cable boxes. The remote is already programmed to operate most RCA, GE and Proscan TVs, VCRs, DVD players, laserdisc players and satellite receivers.

Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote

To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed, turn a component ON, such as a VCR, point the remote at the VCR, and press the VCR1 button. Then press ON•OFF or channel up or channel down to see if the VCR responds to the remote commands. If not, the remote needs to be programmed.

How to Program the Remote

There are two ways to program the remote control: automatic code search and direct entry. Instructions for both ways follow.

You’ll use these buttons when you program the remote to operate another component.

The remote may not operate all models of all brands.

Tip

To stop the automatic code search without programming any components, press and hold CLEAR until the light on the remote turns off.

Using Automatic Code Search

1.Turn on the component you want the remote to operate (VCR, Cable Box, Satellite Receiver)

2.Press and hold the component button on the remote control that corresponds to the component you want the remote to operate (VCR1, SAT•CABLE). While you hold down the component button, press and hold ON•OFF (when the red light on the remote turns on, release both buttons).

3.Press PLAY (the red light on the remote, located below the ON•OFF button, starts flashing).

The remote is searching the first set of component codes (there are 20 sets of codes). If the component you want to operate doesn’t turn off automatically after 5 seconds, press PLAY again (the red light starts flashing again as the remote searches through the next set of codes).

Continue pressing PLAY until the component turns off.

Note: If the component doesn’t turn off after you’ve pressed the PLAY button 20 times, the component can’t be programmed.

4.Press REVERSE, wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step until the component turns back on.

5.To finish, press and hold the STOP button until the red light on the remote turns off.
