Note: Some older VCR’s do not have
an OFF/ON 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 OFF/ON 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) and then ON/OFF.
Some VCR’s turn on automatically when
you press VCR1 or VCR2.
• 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 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”.
• To turn off the VCR, press VCR1 (or
VCR2), then ON/OFF.
• To change channels on the VCR, press
VCR1 (or VCR2), then CHANNEL up
or down.
• You may need to reprogram the remote
when you change the batteries. Try not
to press any buttons when changing
batteries.
Controlling Other Brands of VCR’s
The digital remote control that came
packed with your TV controls your TV
and up to two compatible VCR’s,
including most other brands.
To program the remote, just press
VCR1 (or VCR2), then ID, then the two-
digit code number for your brand of VCR.
Note About Controlling Two VCR’s
• This remote can control two VCR’s
independently as long as each VCR operates
on a different remote transmitting code.
• Some newer VCR’s are capable of working
on either of two remote codes. These VCR’s
have either a switch labeled VCR1/VCR2 or
an on-screen display titled REMOTE
VCR1/VCR2. You can then set your new
VCR to respond to the remote’s VCR2
button and your older VCR to respond to the
VCR1 button.
• Some older VCR’s have a
NORM/UNIFIED switch that can also
respond to either the VCR1 or VCR2 button
on the remote. Place this switch in the
UNIFIED position for the VCR to respond
to the VCR1 button or in the NORM position
for the VCR2 button. In the NORM position,
you must program the VCR2 button to
respond to code number 05.
• If neither of your VCR’s have switchable
code capabilities, you still may be able to
use the VCR1/VCR2 feature to control two
VCR’s of the same brand since many older
VCR’s use remote codes that are different
than newer VCR’s. You may want to
experiment to see what works with your
particular VCR’s.
Programming Remote To Control Other Brands of VCR’s
1. Refer to the chart below 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.
2. Press VCR1 or VCR2 button on
remote (depending on which button
you want to program for that VCR).
You can program each button to
control a different VCR.
3. Press ID button on remote.
4. Press two number buttons (first one,
then the other) to enter the code
number for your brand of VCR.
Note: You must press the two number
buttons within three seconds of pressing
the ID button.
5. Point the remote at the VCR and
press the OFF/ON button to test the
code number. If nothing happens,
try pressing VCR1 or VCR2
(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 5 with
another code number.
