To program the remote to control another brand of VCR,
just press and hold
VCR1
(or
VCR2•LD
), and enter the two-digit
code number for your brand of VCR. Depending on the
age, brand, model, and type of VCR, some models may not
be able to respond to the remote control.
Programming Remote To Control Other Brands of VCRs
Refer to the chart at the right to find the code number that
corresponds to the brand name of your VCR. Keep this
number in mind. If more than one number is listed, you
may need to try each one separately until you find the one
that works.
1
Press
and hold
VCR1
or
VCR2•LD
button on remote
(depending on which button you want to program for that
VCR). You can program each button to control a different
VCR.
2
Press two number buttons (first one, then the other) to
enter the code number for your brand of VCR.
4
Release the
VCR1
button and point the remote at the VCR.
Press the
POWER
button to test the code number. If nothing
happens, try pressing
VCR1
or
VCR2•LD
(whichever button
you are programming). If the right number was entered,
the VCR should turn on. If the VCR does not react to the
remote, repeat steps 1 thru 4 with another code number.
Note: Some older VCRs do not have an
POWER
switch on their remote
controls and cannot be turned on and off remotely. If you have this
type of VCR, you can test the code number by pressing the
CHANNEL
button instead of the
POWER
button. Make sure the VCR is already
turned on when you test the code number.
Operating Notes: After the remote is programmed, it will turn on the
VCR whenever you press
VCR1
(or
VCR2•LD
) and then
POWER
. Some VCRs
turn on automatically when you press
VCR1
or
VCR2•LD
. You’ll be able to
control the VCR whenever the remote is in the “VCR mode”. To put the
remote in the “VCR mode”, press the
VCR1
or
VCR2•LD
button (depending
on which button you programmed). The other VCR buttons (such as
PLAY
,
PAUSE
,
STOP
,
REWIND
,
FF
, and
RECORD
) will control the VCR when
the remote is in the “VCR mode”. Pressing these function buttons may
automatically switch the remote from “TV mode” to “VCR mode”. To
turn off the VCR, press
VCR1
(or
VCR2•LD
), then
POWER.
To change
channels on the VCR, press
VCR1
(or
VCR2•LD
), then
CHANNEL
up or down.
This remote will control the basic functions of compatible VCRs. It will
not be able to control the advanced functions of all brands of VCRs. You
may have to reprogram your remote if you change its batteries.
Notes About Controlling Two VCRs
This remote can control two VCRs independently as long as each VCR
operates on a different remote transmitting code.
If neither of your VCRs have switchable code capabilities, you still may
be able to use the
VCR1/VCR2•LD
feature to control two VCRs of the same
brand since many older VCRs use remote codes that are different than
newer VCRs. You may want to experiment to see what works with your
particular VCRs.
