USING THE REMOTE
PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE CONTROL
The universal remote can be programmed to control most brands of remote controllable components, such as VCRs. The remote is already programmed to control most RCA, GE and PROSCAN TVs, VCRs, DVD players, and laserdisc players.
TESTING THE REMOTE CONTROL
To determine whether the universal remote control requires programming, turn on a component, such as a VCR, point the remote control at the VCR, and press the VCR1 button. Then press ON•OFF or CH ^ (channel up) or CH v (channel down) to see if the VCR responds to the remote control commands. If not, it requires programming.
PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE CONTROL
Using Automatic Code Search
The following instructions can be used to program the remote control. If you want to exit the automatic code search without programming any of your components, press and hold CLEAR until the LED light on the remote control turns off.
1.Turn on the component you want to control (VCR, etc.).
2.Press and hold the button you want to program (VCR1, VCR2, TV, etc.). Note that the AUX button can only be programmed using direct entry (see the next section for details on direct entry). While holding the component button, press and hold ON•OFF until the LED light on the remote control turns on, then release both buttons.
3.Point the remote at the component and press and release PLAY. Then wait five seconds or until the LED light stops flashing.
At this point the remote control is searching for the correct code to program. If, after five seconds, the component you want to control does not turn off, press PLAY again to tell the remote control to search the next set of codes.
Continue pressing PLAY until the component turns off or you have searched through all of the codes. There are 20 total sets of codes. If the component does not turn off after pressing PLAY 20 times, then the remote cannot control that particular component.
If the component you want to control does turn off:
1.Press and release REVERSE, then wait two seconds. Repeat this step until the component turns back on.
2.To finish, press and hold STOP until the LED light on the remote control turns off.
