• You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode the
remote is in (e.g., the
RECORd
key only works in VCR
Mode).
• Make sure the batteries are properly installed. (See
Battery Installation on page 1).
• Replace the batteries with two new AA batteries.
Reprogramming may be required.
Problem: The remote does not operate your
component.
• You must put the remote in the correct mode by
pressing the corresponding component key (
TV, VCR,
dVd, SAT, AUX1, AUX2
) so the remote knows which
component you want to operate.
• Remove any obstacles between the remote and the
component. Make sure to aim the remote at the IR
sensor on the component.
• Make sure the batteries are properly installed. (See
Battery Installation on page 1).
• Replace the batteries with two new AA batteries.
Reprogramming may be required.
• Reset the remote. Remove the batteries. Then press and
hold the number
1
key on the remote for several seconds
to reset the microprocessor inside the remote. Release the
number
1
key, reinstall the batteries, and try the remote
again. Reprogramming will be required.
Problem: The remote is not performing commands
properly.
• You must put the remote in the correct mode by
pressing the corresponding component key (
TV,
VCR, dVd, SAT, AUX1, AUX2
) so the remote knows
which component you want to operate.
• Make sure the component is “ready” (e.g., DVD
player has disc loaded; VCR has tape loaded, etc.).
• You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode
the remote is in (e.g., the
RECORd
key only works
in VCR Mode).
• If you are trying to turn on an RCA, GE or
PROSCAN component, press the component key
(
TV, VCR, dVd, SAT, AUX1, AUX2
) instead of the
ON·OFF
key.
• If you’re trying to change channels, try pressing the
OK
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 component
features (e.g., only turns a component on and
off). Follow the steps provided for programming
the remote (See Programming sections). If the
component can be turned on and off, make sure
you press the
CH+/CH-
key to see if the component
responds. If not, try the next code from the list.
Problem: The VCR won’t record.
• As a safety feature, you must press the
RECORd
key
twice to begin recording.
• Make sure the tape is properly loaded in the VCR.
• Make sure the tape is not write-protected. If the
safety tab is removed, the tape is write-protected and
you cannot record onto that tape.

Troubleshooting
Problem: Remote can’t be programmed to operate
your component.
• You may be too far away from the component or at a
wrong angle. This remote uses IR (infrared) technology
to communicate with components. The remote sends
the code and the component’s IR sensor reads the code.
Therefore, there must be an unobstructed path between
the remote and the IR sensor on the component.
Move closer and make sure you point the remote at
the component (VCR when programming the
VCR
key; DVD when programming the
dVd
key; TV
when programming the
TV
key; satellite receiver when
programming the
SAT
key).
• If you’ve entered all of the codes for your brand that are
in the enclosed Code Lists and followed the instructions,
try the Automatic Code Search method (See Using
Automatic Code Search).
• You must put the remote in the correct mode by
pressing the corresponding component key (
TV, VCR,
dVd, SAT, AUX1, AUX2
) so the remote knows which
component you want to operate.
• To program the universal remote to operate a
combination unit (TV/VCR or TV/DVD), first try
the VCR or DVD codes for your brand. Some units,
however, require that you program both the TV (using
the TV codes) and the VCR or DVD (using the VCR or
DVD codes) for full operation.
• To program the universal remote to operate a
combination unit (VCR /DVD), first program your
VCR using the
VCR
key and then program your DVD
using the
dVd
key.
Problem: The indicator light does not light when
you press a key.
• You must put the remote in the correct mode by
pressing the corresponding component key (
TV, VCR,
dVd, SAT, AUX1, AUX2
) so the remote knows which
component you want to operate.
