RCA LCD FLAT PANEL HDTV Programming Remote, Using Direct Entry, Using Automatic Code Search

Programming Remote

The CANCEL button is used as visual feedback during the programming operation. During programming, the CANCEL button will light up when buttons are pressed and turn off when buttons are released. When programming is finished, the CANCEL button will long blink to indicate success and short blink to indicate fail.

Note: All device buttons are off during programming mode.

There are 3 ways to program the remote control to operate other devices: Direct Entry, Manual Code Search, and Automatic Code Search. If you have recently purchased the device you want to control or if the device has many codes, you might want to try the manual code search first.

Using Direct Entry

1.Turn on the device you want to control.

2.On your remote control, simultaneously press and hold the ON•OFF and MUTE buttons (approximately 3 seconds) until the CANCEL button lights up. Then release the buttons.

3.Press and release the device button (SAT/AUX or DVD) you want to program.

4.Enter a 4-digit code from the code list. The first digit indicates the database device type (0 for DVD, 1 for Satellite TV, 2 for Cable, 3 for DVR, 4 for VCR, 5 for Audio, 6 for CD), the other 3 digits indicate the brand. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the device in the code list at the end of this section.

5.The CANCEL button will long blink to indicate success. Repeat these steps until you’ve tested all codes for your device’s brand or try to run a manual code search.

5.When all codes have been searched, the CANCEL button will short blink to indicate fail, then the remote returns to normal operation.

Note: Use right arrow to search ahead, use left arrow to search back. Or you can press the ON/

OFF button to switch to Auto Code Search mode.

then the remote returns to normal operation.
