Programming your remote control
The remote control that came with your Internet Receiver is already programmed
to operate the Internet Receiver and many RCA, ProScan, and GE TVs, VCRs,
DVD players, audio receivers, and satellite receivers. This remote control is
also capable of operating many other brands of remote-controllable electronic
components, but you must program it to do so. The
MSNTV
and
DVD
buttons on
the remote cannot be programmed. However, the
DVD
button will control many
RCA, GE and Proscan DVD players.
Find out if you need to program the remote control
Your remote control is already programmed to operate your Internet Receiver. To
find out if it needs to be programmed to operate other components, turn on one
of your components, such as a VCR. Point the remote control at that component,
press the component button on the remote (for example,
VCR
), then press the
ON•OFF
button. If the component doesn’t turn off, you need to program your
remote in order to use it to control that component.
How to program the remote control
There are two different ways to program the remote control: automatic code
search and direct entry.
Using automatic code seatch
1. Turn on the component you want to program your remote control to operate
(such as a VCR).
2. Press and hold the component button on your remote control that corresponds
to the component you want the remote to operate. For example, if you’re
programming the remote to operate your VCR, press the
VCR
button. While
holding down the component button, press and hold the
ON•OFF
button.
When the light on the remote illuminates, release both buttons.
3. Press the
PLAY
button until the light on the remote starts flashing.
The remote control is searching through a list of programming codes. If the
component you want to operate doesn’t turn off automatically after 5 seconds,
press
PLAY
again. The light will flash as the remote searches through another
list of codes.
Continue pressing
PLAY
until the component turns off.
If the component does not turn off after you’ve pressed
PLAY
20 times,
you can’t program your remote control to operate that component. Press
HOME•CLEAR
to exit code search.
