Using other Loewe devices with the 

RC3 remote control

You can use other Loewe devices with this remote 
control.

Use the rotary switch to select 
VCR, TV or a set-top box.
Loewe video recorders, Loewe tel-
evision sets and the d-box which 
is commonly used in Germany as a 

set-top box are set up ex-factory.

Using the drive buttons in the TV and 

STB position for a VCR, DVD or digital 

recorder

With both the TV and the STB, you can switch over 
the six drive buttons (

 , 

) so that they control a 

VCR or DVD player/recorder (ex-factory it is set to 
control the built-in “Digital Recorder Plus“):

First set the switch to the main TV 
or STB function.
Then press the 

END

 and

 EPG

 

buttons simultaneously for at 
least 5 seconds. The display in 
the top left of the remote control 
will 

fl

 ash twice.

Key in the 

fi

 gures 988. The dis-

play will 

fl

 ash twice more.

Now set the switch to the func-
tion that you require for the drive 
buttons:
to DVD or VCR, or TV if the digital 
recorder is to be used.
Press the 

# PIP

 button to 

fi

 nalise 

the setting. The display will 

fl

 ash 

another two times.

Setting the remote to control devices 

made by other manufacturers

You can set the remote to work with other 

video recorders, DVD players or set-top boxes if 
the infra-red code of the device type appears in the 
code list or if it is held in the RC3‘s code memory.

Even if the device‘s manufacturer appears in 

the code list, it could be that the device cannot be 
controlled.

Using a code input to set the remote

Look for the code number for your device in the 
code list (see from page 63). The list is sorted 
according to device type – DVD, VCR, STB – and 
alphabetically by manufacturer. You will 

fi

 nd one 

or more code numbers next to the manufacturer 
name.

Use the rotary switch to select 
whether you want to switch to 
using a VCR, DVD device or a 
set-top box. 
Press the

tons simultaneously for at least 
5 seconds. The display in the top 
left of the remote control will 

fl

 ash twice.

Key in, one at a time, the four 

fi

 gures that you have found in the 

code list (e.g. 0539 for the Loewe 
DVD player).

After each 

fi

 gure that you key in, 

the display will 

fl

 ash once, and 

after the last 

fi

 gure it will 

fl

 ash 

twice. If the 

fi

 gure was wrong, the display will stay 

illuminated for longer. This means that the code 
number has not been accepted. If a double-

fl

 ash 

signi

fi

 es that the code has been accepted, you can 

test the functionality of the device that you have 
programmed.

If you are unable to control the device, or have 

dif

fi

 culty in controlling it properly, repeat the code 

input with the next code in the list. If there are no 
other codes listed for the manufacturer in question, 
try using the remote control‘s suggestions. 

Using the remote‘s suggestions to set 

up remote control

Switch on the device which you want to convert 
the remote control to. Note that Standby is inad-
equate!

Use the rotary switch to select 
whether you want to switch to 
using a VCR, DVD device or a 
set-top box.

Point the remote at the device 
which you want to convert it to 
control. Watch the device.

Now press the

 buttons on the remote 

control.
Wait a moment for the device to 
react. If the device fails to react, 

this is not the right code. Press 
the

next code.
Press the

buttons again.

If the device reacts, press the
