RCA RCR6373 Direct Code Entry, Manual Code Search and Entry, DVRAUX1 or VCRAUX2 KEY Controls

Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality

Different remote control codes can provide different levels of functionality. To confirm that the component key is programmed with the correct code for maximum functionality, follow the steps below.

1.Make sure your component is on. Attempt to control a variety of the component’s functions with the remote. If some features of your components do not work, go to step 2 to try a different code.

2.Repeat the Brand Code Search and Entry Method from step 1. When the component turns off for the first time, do not press the STOP key, which would store the code. Instead, with the unit now off, continue to press the POWER key repeatedly until the unit turns back on.

3.Once the unit turns back on, you have found another code that operates the component. Press the STOP key.

4.Test the key’s functionality again by attempting to control a variety of the component’s functions.

If the code that has been stored controls the majority of the component’s functions, programming is complete.

If the code stored does not give maximum functionality, try another code—start from step 2 of this section.

Direct Code Entry

To use the direct code entry method to program your universal remote to control your components, follow the steps below.

1.Manually turn on the component you want the remote to control (TV, VCR, DVD, DVR, satellite receiver, cable box, or audio component).

2.Locate the enclosed Code Lists. Find the list for the component you wish to program. Find your component’s brand. You will see a listing of four-digit codes for each brand. If your brand isn’t listed, use the Manual or Auto Code Search method to program the remote control.

Note: You can also use the online code finder at www.rca.com/codefinder to find the best code for your component.

LED 3. Press and hold the component key (TV, SAT•CBL, DVD, DVR•AUX1, AUDIO, VCR•AUX2) you wish to program. The LED turns on and

remains on.

Keep holding down the component key. If you release the component key any time during the Direct

Code Entry procedure, the LED blinks four times, and the process is exited. The last programmed code under the component key is retained.

Notes:

•To program the DVR•AUX1 key to control a component other than a DVR, see page 3.

•To program the VCR•AUX2 key to control a component other than a VCR, see page 3.

4.While holding down the component key, consult the Code Lists for a four-digit code that corresponds to your component’s brand and use the number keys (0-9) to enter it. After you press the first number, the LED turns off. After the fourth number is entered, the LED turns on.

TIP: Throughout the programming of each key, be sure to keep the remote pointed at the IR sensor of the component you are currently programming the remote to control.

5.Release the component key. If the LED turns off, you have entered a valid code and have followed the correct procedure for Direct Code Entry. Proceed to the next step. If the LED blinks four times, you have either entered a code number that is not in the code lists or missed a step in the code entry procedure. Repeat the Direct Code Entry process from step 3 and try the next code listed.

6.To confirm that the component key is programmed with the correct code for maximum functionality, test the component. Attempt to control a variety of the component’s functions with the remote. If some features of your components do not work, try programming the remote with a different code in the list until you find the code that allows the remote to control the majority of your component’s functions. Different codes can provide different levels of functionality.

IMPORTANT: Remember to enter the code for future reference in the box provided in the Code Retrieval section of this manual. (See page 5.)

Manual Code Search and Entry

If your component’s brand isn’t listed in the Code Lists, or if you have tried all of the codes for your brand and the remote does not operate your component, try one of the following Code Search methods—Manual Code Search or Auto Code Search. Both Code Search methods cycle through all of the codes in the Code Lists in the event that your component’s code is listed under another brand.

Note: The Manual Code Search method may take a long time because the remote searches through all of the codes in its memory for the code that operates your component. Therefore, if your brand is listed in the Brand Codes or the Code Lists, first try the Brand Code Search or the Direct Code Entry method described earlier.

TIP: To exit without saving at any point in the Manual Code Search, press the CLEAR key.

1.Manually turn on the component you want the remote to control (TV, VCR, DVD, DVR, satellite receiver, cable box, or audio component).

Programming the DVR•AUX1 and VCR•AUX2 Keys To Control Other Components

The DVR•AUX1 and VCR•AUX2 keys default to control a DVR and VCR respectively. If you want these keys to control different components (an additional TV, DVD, satellite or cable box, for example), you must preprogram the key.

DVR•AUX1 OR VCR•AUX2 KEY CONTROLS:

Additional TV	press 1
VCR or DVR	press 2
Additional DVD	press 3
Additional audio component	press 4
Additional satellite or cable box	press 5

1.Press and hold the key you want to program (DVR•AUX1 or VCR•AUX2). The LED turns on.

2.While holding down the DVR•AUX1 or VCR•AUX2 key, press the number key on the keypad for the component you wish to control (see the chart on the left). The LED turns off.

3.Release the DVR•AUX1 or VCR•AUX2 key. The LED blinks four times and then turns off. The key is now “set” to control whichever component you selected.

4.Next, program the DVR•AUX1 or VCR•AUX2 key to control the brand of component you have. Remember to consult the appropriate component code list. For instance, if you have programmed the key to control an additional DVD, consult the DVD Code List. Program the key to control your component with the Code List enclosed.
