Programming the Remote to
Operate Other Components
The universal remote can be programmed to operate most brands of
remote controllable components. The remote is already programmed
to operate most RCA, GE, and Proscan components.
Notes:
The TV button can’t be programmed on this remote.
The remote may not be compatible with all brands and models
of components. It also may not operate all functions of the
remote that came with your component.
Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote
To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed
for your component, turn the component ON. For example, to
program the remote for a VCR, turn on the VCR. Point the remote at
the VCR, and press the VCR button. Then press ON•OFF or CH +
(channel up) or CH – (channel down) to see if the VCR responds to
the remote commands. If the component does not respond, the remote
needs to be programmed.
