Using the Remote Control

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.

If Direct Entry does not work for your component, try Auto Code Search. 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.

4.Press and release PLAY, then wait 5 seconds or until the component button stops flashing.

At this point the remote is searching for the correct code to program. If, after 5 seconds, the component you want to operate does not turn off, press PLAY again to tell the remote to search the next set of codes.

Continue pressing and releasing PLAY until the component turns off or you have searched through all of the codes. The component buttons flash when all codes have been searched, the component button turns off, and remote exits Automatic Code Search.

If the component you want to control does turn off:

1.Press and release REVERSE, then wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step until the component turns back ON.

2.To finish, press and hold STOP until the component button on the remote turns off.

Tip

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

Tip

Some of the remote’s buttons might operate differently for other components, especially when you’re using another component’s menu system.

How to Use the Remote After You’ve Programmed It

Because this universal remote can control several different components (TV, DVD, VCR, satellite receiver, etc.), it uses operational modes triggered by the component buttons.

1.Press the appropriate component button (DVD, TV, VCR, SAT/CAB, AUDIO, AUX) to set the remote to control the component.

2.Press ON•OFF to turn the component ON or OFF.

3.Use the remote buttons that apply to that component.

Notes: The remote control may not be compatible with all brands and models of components.

If you keep pressing buttons and nothing happens, the remote is probably in the wrong mode. You must press the component button that matches the component you want to operate (i.e., if you want to operate the VCR, press VCR on the remote control to put the remote in VCR mode.)

HDLP61 specifications

The RCA HDLP61 is a high-definition rear-projection television that was introduced in the early 2000s, capturing the attention of consumers seeking a balance between performance and affordability in large screen televisions. With its sleek design and impressive specifications, the HDLP61 quickly became a popular choice for home entertainment.

One of the primary features of the RCA HDLP61 is its substantial 61-inch screen, which allows for an immersive viewing experience. The television utilizes DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology, a key aspect that contributes to its high-quality picture display. DLP technology relies on a digital micromirror device (DMD) to reflect light and create images, which results in vibrant colors and sharp details. This technology also minimizes the risk of image burn-in that can be a concern with other display types such as CRT and plasma.

The HDLP61 supports a native resolution of 720p, providing clear and crisp images that enhance the viewing of high-definition content. Additionally, it is compatible with 1080p signals, making it a flexible choice for various types of media sources, including cable, satellite, and Blu-ray players. The television also features a 16:9 aspect ratio, which aligns perfectly with modern high-definition content.

In terms of connectivity, the RCA HDLP61 is equipped with multiple input options, including HDMI, component, and S-Video ports, allowing users to connect various devices such as gaming consoles, DVD players, and streaming devices with ease. This versatility ensures that users can enjoy a wide range of entertainment options on the large screen.

Another notable characteristic of the HDLP61 is its built-in audio system, which includes speakers that deliver decent sound quality, complementing the visual experience. However, audiophiles may opt to connect external sound systems for a more robust audio experience.

The RCA HDLP61 is also designed with user-friendly controls and features, including an intuitive on-screen menu that makes navigating settings a breeze. The television also includes features such as adjustable brightness, contrast, and color settings, allowing users to customize their viewing experience according to personal preference.

Overall, the RCA HDLP61 stands out in the realm of rear-projection televisions because of its combination of advanced DLP technology, vast connectivity options, and user-friendly design. It continues to be remembered as a budget-friendly option that delivered good performance during its time in the consumer electronics market.
