Using the Remote

Programming the Remote

The universal remote can be programmed to control most brands of
remote controllable VCRs, satellite receivers and cable boxes. The
remote is already programmed to control most RCA, GE and 

ProScan

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, laserdisc players and satellite receivers.

Testing the remote

To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed,
turn a device ON, such as a VCR, point the remote at the VCR, and press
the VCR1 button. Then press POWER or CH␣ ^ (channel up) or CH␣ v
(channel down) to see if the VCR responds to the remote commands. If
not, the remote needs to be programmed.

Programming the remote

Using Automatic Code Search

The following instructions can be used to program the remote to
control each of the devices connected to your TV. If you want to exit the
automatic code search without programming any of your devices, press
CLEAR until the LED turns off.

1.

Turn on the device you want to control (VCR, SAT, etc.)

2.

Press and hold the button you want to program (VCR1, VCR2, etc.).
While holding the device button, press and hold ON•OFF until the
red light on the remote turns on, then release both buttons.

3.

Press and release PLAY, then wait 5 seconds or until the LED stops
flashing.

At this point the remote is searching for the correct code to
program. If, after 5 seconds, the device you want to control does
not turn off, press PLAY again to tell the remote to search the next
set of codes.

Continue pressing PLAY until the device turns off or you have
searched through all of the codes. There are 20 total sets of codes.
If the device does not turn off after pressing PLAY 20 times, then
the remote cannot control that particular device.

If the device you want to control 

does

 turn off:

1.

Press and release REVERSE, then wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step
until the device turns back ON.

2.

To finish, press and hold STOP until the red light on the remote
turns off.

Using Direct Entry

1.

Turn on the component to be programmed.

You’ll use these buttons when you
program the remote to control any
device.

The remote may not operate all models
of all brands.
