functions on your unit, and the VCR•DVD key controls the VCR or DVD functions. There is a specific section in the Code Lists for combo units. The codes in this section should be tried first using Direct Code Entry on the TV and VCR•DVD keys. If this is unsuccessful, follow the normal programming methods for both the TV and the VCR•DVD keys.

Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed.

Problem: The remote is not performing commands properly.

You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing the corresponding component key (TV, VCR•DVD, SAT•CBL) so the remote knows which component you want to operate.

Make sure component is “ready” (e.g., DVD player has disc loaded; VCR has tape loaded, etc.).

You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode the remote is in.

If you’re trying to turn on an RCA, GE or PROSCAN branded component, press the component key (TV,

VCR•DVD, SAT•CBL) instead of the ON•OFF key.

If you’re trying to change channels, try pressing the OK key after entering the channel number, as this is a requirement of certain models and brands.

There is a possibility that a programmed code may only be able to control some of your component features (e.g., only turns a component on and off). See “Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality” (page 8-9) for more information.

Problem: The illuminated ON•OFF key does not light when you press a key.

You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing the corresponding component key (TV, VCR•DVD, SAT•CBL) so the remote knows which component you want to operate.

You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode the remote is in.

Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed. (See Battery Installation on page 3.)

Replace the batteries with two new AA batteries, if necessary. Reprogramming may be required.

Problem: The VCR won’t record.

Make sure the remote is in VCR Mode.

Make sure the tape is properly loaded in the VCR.

Make sure the tape is not write-protected. If the safety

tab is removed, the tape is write-protected, and you cannot record onto that tape.

Problem: The remote will not change channels on your component.

You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing the corresponding component key (TV, VCR•DVD, SAT•CBL) so the remote knows which component you want to operate.

Press the OK key after you enter a channel number.

Remove any obstacles between the remote and the component. Make sure to aim the remote at the IR sensor on the component.

Problem: The component’s menu doesn’t appear on the TV screen.

Make sure you have connected your component to your TV properly and selected the correct Input. (See your components’ Owner’s Manuals for proper connection procedures.)

You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing the corresponding component key (TV, VCR•DVD, SAT•CBL) so the remote knows which component you want to operate.

Menu access isn’t supported for all brands. If that’s the case, you’ll need to use your original remote control to access menu functions for these components.
