Universal Remote

Congratulations on your purchase of this advanced universal remote, which has the capacity to control multiple components. You can program your RCA brand universal remote to operate most models of most brands of infrared, remote-controlled components manufactured after 1990. (See the enclosed Code Lists for a complete list of brands.)

!TIP: Your universal remote is already programmed to operate most RCA, GE and PROSCAN branded TVs, VCRs, DVD players and satellite receivers. Just press the corresponding key–DVDkey for a DVD player; TV key for a television; SAT·CBL for a satellite receiver or a cable box; etc.

Battery Installation and Information

Your universal remote requires two AA Alkaline batteries (batteries may or may not be included, depending on model). To install the batteries:

1. Remove the battery compartment cover.

2. Insert the batteries, matching the batteries to the (+) and (-) marks inside the battery compartment.

3. Press and push the battery cover back into place.

Note: Reprogramming may be required after batteries are replaced.

Battery Saver

Your universal remote control saves battery power by automatically turning off if any key is pressed for more than 60 seconds.

Illuminated ON·OFF Key – Serves as an indicator light to provide feedback.

Component Keys

(SAT·CBL, VCR, DVD,

TV, AUX·1, AUDIO, DVR, AUX·2)

Dedicated MENU Key for DVD disc menus, satellite receivers and some TVs.

SELECT/OK Key – Selects your menu choices.

NAVIGATION Keys navigate through menus for DVDs, satellite receivers and some TVs.

Transport Keys –

REVERSE, PLAY,

FORWARD, RECORD,

STOP and

PAUSE Keys

LIGHT Key – Turns backlighting on/off (select models only).

INFO key – Displays information pertaining to the component you are currently controlling.

CH and VOL keys have dual functions. They act as navigation keys (UP, DN, RT, LT ARROW keys) in menu systems.

INPUT Key

Toggles through all the video sources connected to your TV, when the remote is in TV mode. When the remote is in VCR mode, it toggles between VCR and TV input.

SLEEP Key - Allows you to set a time to turn off your TV automatically.

Backlighting

Backlight illumination (available on select models only) enables you to see the remote control keys better in the dark. Backlight illumination is toggled on or off with successive keypresses of the LIGHT key. When toggled on, the backlighting remains on as long as keys are being pressed. The backlighting turns off six seconds after the last keypress. Once the backlight time has expired, any keypress reactivates backlighting. If the backlight illumination is on, and the LIGHT key is pressed, the backlight turns off.

Illuminated ON·OFF Key

The ON·OFF key powers components on and off. It also lights up to serve as an indicator light, providing feedback for various functions. When a valid key is pressed, the illuminated ON·OFF key remains lit as long as the key is pressed and turns off when the key is released. The ON·OFF key also blinks in Programming mode or in Menu mode to provide feedback.

Double Off Function

The Double Off function transmits a sequence of POWER OFF commands to turn off all RCA components. This feature is specific to RCA products and does not work with other brands. To activate this feature, press the illuminated ON·OFF key twice within a two- second window. At the second keypress, all RCA components turn off.

Actual model may vary from picture shown.
