Operating a TV with the VCR’s Remote Control

The remote control that came with your VCR can be programmed to operate most brands of remote-controllable TVs and should already control most RCA, GE, and Proscan models without programming.

Do You Need to Program the Remote?

To determine whether the remote control needs to be programmed to operate your TV, turn the TV on, point the remote control at it, then press the remote control’s TV button (this puts the remote control into TV-operating mode and should automatically turn on most RCA, GE, and Proscan TVs). Press the remote control’s ON•OFF button to see if the TV responds to the command. If not, the remote control needs to be programmed to control that model TV.
