In most cases, the keys on 
this remote perform the same 
functions as the keys on your 
original remotes once you’ve 
programmed this remote to 
operate your components. 
Many keys on this remote 
have other functions as well.

Device keys (

TV

SAT•CBL•DTC

DVD•VCR, 

DVR/PVR•AUX

) put the 

remote in the right mode to 
control your device.

GUIDE

 and 

MENU

 put the 

remote in menu/guide mode; 
they also access the same 
features as the keys on your 
original remotes.

CLEAR

 exits remote 

programming; it also 
performs the same functions 
as on your original remotes.

Arrow keys

 act as navigation 

keys in device guides and 
menu systems.

The

 INPUT

 and 

— (dash) 

key 

has three functions: (1) it 
toggles through all the video 
sources connected to your 
TV; (2) when the remote is 
in VCR mode, this button 
toggles between VCR and 
the TV input; (3) when you’re 
entering digital channel 
numbers directly, this button 
lets you separate the main 
channel number from the 
sub-channel number (such 
as 59.1).

Battery Saver

Your universal remote control saves battery power by 
automatically turning off if any key is pressed for more than 
60 seconds. This saves your battery life should your remote 
get stuck in a place where the keys remain depressed, such as 
between sofa cushions.

•  Use and store the remote only in normal temperature 

environments.

•  Handle the remote gently and carefully. Don’t drop it.
•  Keep the remote away from dust and dirt.
•  Wipe the remote with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it 

looking new.

•  Modifying or tampering with the remote’s internal devices can 

cause malfunction and invalidate its warranty.

SAVE THIS MANUAL AND THE CODE LISTS! 

Remote controls can sometimes lose their programming 
when you change the batteries. Make sure you keep the 
manual and code lists in a safe place so that you can 
reprogram the remote if you need to.

Tip:

 This remote is already programmed to operate 

most RCA-branded TVs, VCRs, DVD players and satellite 
receivers. Just press the corresponding key—DVD•VCR 
for a DVD player, TV for a television, SAT•CBL•DTC for a 
satellite receiver, cable box or DTV converter, DVR•AUX 
for a DVR/PVR.

Your universal remote requires two AAA alkaline batteries (not 
included).

To install the batteries:

1.

   Press and push the battery 

compartment cover to remove it.

2. 

 Insert the batteries, matching 

the batteries to the (+) and 
(–) marks inside the battery 
compartment.

3. 

 Push the battery cover back into 

place.

Battery Precautions: 

•  Do not mix old and new batteries. 
•  Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or 

rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.

•  Always remove old, weak or worn-out batteries promptly 

and recycle or dispose of them in accordance with Local 
and National Regulations.

To use this universal remote with your home entertainment 
system, first you need to program it to control your devices. 
There are four ways you can program the universal remote to 
operate your devices: 

• 

The 

Auto Code Search

 goes automatically through all the 

codes for the device you’re trying to control. It’s the easiest 
method, but it can sometimes take longer than some of the 
other programming methods. 

•   The 

Brand Code Search

 searches through the codes for 

select brands of devices. It’s not as easy as the auto code 
search, but it can be faster.

•   The 

Direct Code Entry

 lets you enter a code from the 

accompanying code list for your brand of device. It’s not as 
easy as the other methods, but it’s potentially the fastest 
method.

•   The 

Manual Code Search

 lets you manually go through 

all the codes for the device you’re trying to control.

Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality
1. 

Try a variety of the device’s functions with the remote. If 
some device features don’t work, go to the next step to try 
a different code.

2. 

  Repeat the Auto Code Search Method from the beginning. 

When your device turns off, do not stop searching. 

Instead, with the unit now off, continue to press the PLAY 

key every 5 seconds until the unit turns back on. 

3. 

  Once the unit turns back on, press the REVERSE key on the 

remote every 2 seconds until your device turns off again. 
When your device turns off again, press the STOP key. 

4. 

  Test the key’s functionality again by attempting to control 

a variety of the device’s functions. If the code that has 

been stored controls the majority of the device’s functions, 

programming is complete. If the code stored does not give 

maximum functionality, try another code.

Auto Code Search

The Auto Code Search goes automatically through all the 
codes for the device you’re trying to control. When you find 
the one that operates your device, you can stop the search and 
store that code. 

TIPS:

 Each device key is associated with a type of device—

the TV is preset to search for TVs, SAT•CBL•DTC for satellite 
receivers, cable boxes or DTV converters, DVD•VCR for 
DVD players, and DVR•AUX for DVR/PVRs. To program a 
device key for a different type of device, see the 

Changing 

a Key’s Device Type

 section. 

To exit without saving a new code at any point in the Auto 
Code Search, press the CLEAR key.

1.

  Manually turn on the device you 

want to control. 

2.

  Press and hold the device key you want to program. While 

you’re holding down the device key, use your other hand 
to press and hold the remote’s POWER key at the same 
time.

3.

  Wait until the remote’s indicator 

light comes on and stays on. 
Then release both keys.

4.

  Point the remote directly at the 

front panel of the device you 
want to control. Press PLAY on 
the remote and wait 5 seconds. 
The remote is testing a batch of 
10 codes on your device.

 

Did your device turn off? 

 

YES: 

Go to step 5.

 

NO: 

Press PLAY again. The remote tests the next batch of 

10 codes. 

 

Keep pressing PLAY every 5 seconds until your device turns 
off. 

5. 

When your device turns off, press 
the REVERSE key on the remote 
and wait at least 2 seconds. 
The remote tries the last of the 
previous ten codes. 

 

Did your device turn on?

 

YES: 

Press the STOP key. You’re 

done! You’ve programmed this 
device key.

 

NO: 

Press REVERSE again. The remote tests the next 

code in the batch. 

 

Keep pressing REVERSE every 2 seconds until your device 
turns back on. When it does, press STOP.

Note:

 If you accidentally press the REVERSE key after your 

device turns on, press the FORWARD key. Then, wait two 
seconds to see if your device turns off again. 

NOTES

Throughout the programming of each key, be sure to keep 
the remote pointed at the IR sensor of the device you are 
currently programming the remote to control.

Test the remote with the device to make sure the 
device key is programmed with the correct code for 
maximum functionality. If some features don’t work, try 
a different code. See the “Testing the Code for Maximum 
Functionality” section below for more information.

During the Auto Code Search, the remote ignores 
keypresses that aren’t part of the search. 

The search times out after two minutes (the Indicator light 
blinks four times and turns off, and the last programmed 
code under that device key is retained).

The Indicator light blinks four times and turns off when the 
remote has gone through all the codes. The remote exits the 
Auto Code Search. If your device hasn’t turned off yet, try a 
different search method.

Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality
1. 

  Try a variety of the device’s functions with the remote. If 

some device features don’t work, go to the next step to try 
a different code.

2. 

  Repeat the Brand Code Search from the beginning. When 

the device turns off for the first time, don’t press the STOP 
key, which would store the same code. Instead, with the 
unit now off, continue to press the POWER key repeatedly 
until the unit turns back on.

3. 

  Once the unit turns back on, you have found another code 

that operates the device. Press the STOP key.

4. 

  Test the key’s functionality again by attempting to control 

a variety of the device’s functions. If the code that has 
been stored controls the majority of the device’s functions, 
programming is complete. If the code stored does not give 
maximum functionality, try another code.

Brand Code Search

The Brand Code Search goes through only the codes for one of 
the select brands listed in the accompanying code list. If your 
brand of device is listed, this search can be very quick and easy. 

TIPS:

 Each device key is associated with a type of device—

the TV is preset to search for TVs, SAT•CBL•DTC for satellite 
receivers, cable boxes or DTV converters, DVD•VCR for DVD 
players, and DVR•AUX for DVR/PVRs. To program a device 
key for a different type of device, see the 

Changing a Key’s 

Device Type

 section. 

To exit without saving a new code at any point in the Brand 
Code Search, press the CLEAR key.

1.

  Manually turn on the device you 

want to control. 

3.

  Press and hold the device key you want to program. While 

you’re holding down the device key, use your other hand 
to press and hold the remote’s POWER key at the same 
time.

4.

  Wait until the remote’s indicator 

comes on and stays on. Then release 
both keys.

6.

  Point the remote directly at the 

front panel of the device you want 
to control. Press POWER on the 
remote and wait 2 seconds. The 
remote is testing a single code for 
your device’s brand.

 

Did your device turn off? 

 

YES: 

Press the STOP key to store the code. You’re done! 

You’ve programmed this device key.

 

NO:

NOTES

Remember to enter the code for future reference in the box 
provided in the Code Retrieval section of this manual. 
If your brand isn’t listed in the code list, use one of the Code 
Search methods to program the remote control. (Refer to the 
Auto and Manual Code Search methods.)

If you release the device key any time during the Direct Code 
Entry procedure, the Indicator light blinks four times, and 
the process is exited. The last programmed code under the 
device key is retained.

Test the remote with the device to make sure the device 
key is programmed with the correct code for maximum 
functionality. If some features don’t work, try a different code 
in the list.

4.

  When you’ve finished entering 

the five-digit code, keep holding 
down the device key and look at 
the indicator light. 

 

Is the indicator light on?

 

YES: 

You’re done! You’ve 

programmed this device key.

 

NO, it blinked four times and turned off: 

You have 

either entered a code number that is not in the code lists 
or missed a step in the code entry procedure. Try step 3 
again. 

Indicator light

Manual Code Search

The Manual Code Search lets you go one-by-one through all the 
codes for the device you’re trying to control. When you find the 
one that operates your device, you can stop the search and store 
that code. 

TIPS:

 The Manual Code Search method may take a long time 

because the remote searches through all of the codes in 
its memory one-by-one. If your brand is listed in the Brand 
Codes or the Code Lists, first try the Brand Code Search or 
the Direct Code Entry method.

Each device key is associated with a type of device—the TV is 
preset to search for TVs, SAT•CBL•DTC for satellite receivers, 
cable boxes or DTV converters, DVD•VCR for DVD players, 
and DVR•AUX for DVR/PVRs. To program a device key for a 
different type of device, see the 

Changing a Key’s Device Type

 

section. 

To exit without saving a new code at any point in the Manual 
Code Search, press the CLEAR key.

1.

  Manually turn on the device you 

want to control. 

2.

  Press and hold the device key you want to program. While 

you’re holding down the device key, use your other hand 
to press and hold the remote’s POWER key at the same 
time.

3.

  Wait until the remote’s indicator light 

comes on and stays on. Then release 
both keys.

4.

  Point the remote directly at the front panel of the device you 

want to control. Press POWER on the remote and wait 2 
seconds. The remote is testing a single code for your device.

 

Did your device turn off? 

 

YES:

 Press the STOP key to store 

the code. You’re done! You’ve 
programmed this device key.

 

NO: 

Press POWER again. The 

remote tests the next code for 
your device. 

 

Keep pressing POWER every 2 
seconds until your device turns back 
on. When it does, press STOP.

 

TIP:

 Because there are so many codes, you may have to press 

the POWER key many times—possibly hundreds of times.

NOTES

Throughout the programming of each key, keep the remote 

pointed at the IR sensor of the device you are programming 

the remote to control.
Test the remote with the device to make sure the device 

key is programmed with the correct code for maximum 

functionality. If some features don’t work, try a different 

code. See the “Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality” 

section below for more information.
During the Manual Code Search, the remote ignores 

keypresses that aren’t part of the search. 
The search times out after two minutes (the Indicator light 

blinks four times and turns off, and the last programmed 

code under that device key is retained).
The Indicator light blinks four times and turns off when the 

remote has gone through all the codes. The remote exits the 

Brand Code Search. If your device hasn’t turned off yet, try a 
different search method.

Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality
1.

   Try a variety of the device’s functions with the remote. If 

some features of your devices don’t work, go to the next 
step to try a different code.

2. 

  Repeat the Manual Code Search and Entry Method from 

the beginning. When the device turns off for the first time, 
don’t press the STOP key, which would store the same 
code. Instead, with the unit now off, continue to press the 
POWER key repeatedly until the unit turns back on. 

3. 

  Once the unit turns back on, you have found another code 

that operates the device. Press the STOP key.

4. 

  Test the key’s functionality again by trying a variety of 

functions. If the code controls the majority of the device’s 
functions, programming is complete. If the code stored 
does not give maximum functionality, try another code.

Changing A Key’s Device Type

Each device key is associated with a type of device—the TV is 
preset to search for TVs, SAT•CBL•DTC for satellite receivers or 
cable boxes, DVD•VCR for DVD players or VCRs, and DVR•AUX 
for DVR/PVRs. To program these keys to control a different kind 
of device, you have to reassign them first. 

Reassigning the DVD•VCR Key to Control a VCR

The DVD•VCR key defaults to control a DVD player. If you want 
the DVD•VCR key to control a VCR, you must reassign it.

1.   Press and hold the DVD•VCR key. The Indicator light turns 

on. Keep holding down the DVD•VCR key.

2.   While holding down the DVD•VCR key, press and release the 

number 2 key on the keypad. The Indicator light turns off.

3.   Release the DVD•VCR key. The Indicator light blinks four times 

and then turns off. The DVD•VCR key is now set to control a VCR.

4.   Follow the directions in the auto, brand, direct entry, or manual 

code search to program the DVD•VCR key for your VCR. 

Reassigning the DVR•AUX Key To Control Other Devices

The DVR•AUX key defaults to control a DVR/PVR. If you want 
the DVR•AUX key to control a different device (an additional TV, 
DVD, satellite, cable box or DTV converter, for example), you 
must reassign it.

1.   Press and hold the DVR•AUX key. The Indicator light turns on.

2.   While holding down the DVR•AUX key, press and release the 

number key on the keypad for the device you wish to control 
(see the chart below). The Indicator light turns off.

Code Retrieval

Once you’ve programmed the remote to control your devices, 
you may want to record the codes for future reference. If 
you used the Direct Code Entry method, this is easy. Just 
find the codes you entered and make a note of them in the 
boxes below. If you used one of the Code Search methods to 
program your remote or if you used the Direct Entry method 
but don’t remember the code, you will need to retrieve each 
device’s five-digit code. Retrieving the actual code and writing 
it down will save you time if you ever need to program the 
remote again (e.g., if programming is lost when you change 
the batteries). If the codes are recorded, you can use the 
Direct Entry method to reprogram your remote to control your 
devices, which is quick and easy.

1.   Press and hold the device key 

(TV, SAT•CBL•DTC, DVD•VCR, 
DVR•AUX) whose code you 
wish to retrieve. The Indicator 
light turns on. Keep pressing the 
device key.

2.   While holding the device key down, press and hold the 

INFO key. The Indicator light turns off. After holding down 
both keys for three seconds, the Indicator light turns back 
on.

3.   Release both keys. The Indicator light remains on.
4.   Starting with the number 1 key, press and release each 

number key on the keypad in the following order: 1-9, then 
0. The number that causes the Indicator light to blink is the 
first number of the code. As you find each number of the 
code, write it down for future reference.

Note:

 All TV codes begin with the number 1; all VCR and DVR/

PVR codes begin with the number 2; all DVDs, the number 3; 
and all satellite receivers and cable boxes, the number 5.

5.   Repeat step 4 until you have retrieved all five numbers in 

the code. After the fifth number is retrieved, the Indicator 
light blinks briefly, then turns off.

TIP:

 To exit the Code Retrieval Mode at any time, press the 

CLEAR key.

Note:

 If you press an invalid key during the Code Retrieval 

process, the remote will not respond. If you do not press 
a valid Code Retrieval key (TV, SAT•CBL•DTC, DVD•VCR, 
DVR•AUX, INFO, CLEAR), Code Retrieval times out after 15 
seconds. The Indicator light blinks four times, and then turns 
off.

IMPORTANT

Because this remote controls more than one device, you 
must first “tell” the remote which device you wish to 
operate. That means, if you wish to operate your TV, you 
must first press the TV key to put the remote in the TV 
Mode. The remote stays in that device mode until you press 
a different device key. For example, if your remote is in TV 
Mode and you want to operate the DVD player, you must 
press the DVD•VCR key to change device modes.

Accessing Device Menus and Guides

Many devices use on-screen menus and guides to help you 
navigate through all their features and programming. While 
this remote may not access every menu or guide system 
of every device model, it does offer some menu and guide 
functionality.
To use a device’s on-screen menu or guide system, you first 
have to put the remote in Menu or Guide Mode.
1.   Make sure your devices are turned on and your TV is set 

to the correct device input (use the INPUT key to toggle 
through inputs when in TV Mode.)

2.   Press the device key whose menu you want to access.

4.   Use the arrow keys to navigate through 

the on-screen menu system or guide. 
To select the highlighted item, press the 
OK key.

TIP:

 If the remote doesn’t respond, check 

to see that the Indicator light is still 
blinking. The Indicator light times out after 
20 seconds. If this happens, just press the 
MENU or GUIDE key again, and then retry 
your selection.

Exiting Menu/Guide Mode

The remote automatically times out of Menu or Guide Mode 
after 20 seconds of inactivity (no keys being pressed). At that 
time, the remote clears the displayed menu from the TV.
If you want to exit the Menu Mode yourself, press the 
corresponding device key on the remote (TV, SAT•CBL•DTC, 
DVD•VCR, DVR•AUX). The Indicator light turns off.

Problem: The remote does not operate your device.

•  

Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing 
the corresponding device key (TV, SAT•CBL•DTC, DVD•VCR, 
DVR•AUX). This tells the remote which device to operate.

•  

Remove any obstacles between the remote and the device. Make 
sure you’re aiming the remote at the device’s IR sensor.

•  

Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed. 
Replace the batteries with two new AAA batteries, if necessary 
(see the Battery Installation section). 

Problem: The remote can’t be programmed to operate your 
device.

•  

If you are testing the remote while programming it, you may be 
too far away from the device or at a wrong angle. There must be 
an unobstructed path between the remote and the IR sensor on 
the device. Move closer and make sure you point the remote at the 
device you’re trying to control.

•  

If you’re using the Direct Entry programming method to enter 
the codes for your brand and the unit is still not functioning 
properly, try the auto, brand, or manual search method.

•  

To control combo units, like TV/VCRs or TV/DVDs, you must 
program the individual corresponding device keys to control 
each part of the combo unit. Once programmed successfully, the 
TV key controls the TV functions, and the DVD•VCR key controls 
the VCR or DVD functions. 

•  

Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed.

Problem: The remote doesn’t perform commands properly.

•  

Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing 
the corresponding device key (TV, SAT•CBL•DTC, DVD•VCR, 
DVR•AUX). This tells the remote which device to operate.

•  

Make sure device is ready (for example, the DVD player has a 
disc loaded).

•  

You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode the remote is in.

•  

If you’re trying to enter a channel number directly, try pressing 
the ENTER key after entering the channel number as this is a 
requirement of certain models and brands.

•  

There is a possibility that a programmed code may only be 
able to control some of your device features (for example, only 
turns a device on and off). To confirm that the device key is 
programmed with the correct code for maximum functionality, 
test the device. Attempt to control a variety of the device’s 
functions with the remote. If some of the features of your 
devices don’t work, try programming the remote with a different 
code in the list using the Direct Code Entry Method, until you 
find the code that allows the remote to control the majority of 
your device’s functions. Different codes can provide different 
levels of functionality.

Problem: The Indicator light does not light when you press a key.

•  

You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode the remote is 
in. 

• 

Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing 
the corresponding device key (TV, SAT•CBL•DTC, DVD•VCR, 
DVR•AUX). This tells the remote which device to operate.

•  

Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed. 
Replace the batteries with two new AAA batteries, if necessary 
(see the Battery Installation section). 

Problem: The remote will not change channels on device.

• 

Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing 
the corresponding device key (TV, SAT•CBL•DTC, DVD•VCR, 
DVR•AUX). This tells the remote which device to operate.

•  

Press the ENTER key after you enter a channel number.

•  

Remove any obstacles between the remote and the device. Make 
sure to aim the remote at the IR sensor on the device.

Problem: The device’s menu does not appear on the TV screen.

•  

Make sure you have connected the device to your TV properly and 
selected the correct input. (See your devices’ Owner’s Manuals for 
proper connection procedures.)

• 

Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing 
the corresponding device key (TV, SAT•CBL•DTC, DVD•VCR, 
DVR•AUX). This tells the remote which device to operate.

•  

Menu access isn’t supported for all brands. You may need to use 
your original remote control to access menu functions for some 
devices.
