The simple remote can control your TV and a compatible
VCR. The simple remote is preprogrammed to control a
compatible GE, ProScan or RCA VCR. You can program
the remote to control many of the other brands of VCRs
listed on the next page.
To program the remote to control another brand of VCR,
you must 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
