Three-Component  

Universal Remote 

Congratulations on your purchase of this three-component universal 
remote. This universal remote controls up to three electronic 
components and makes juggling remote controls a thing of the past. 
Your remote is guaranteed to work with all brands of components. 
The three-component universal remote is easy to use, easy to 
program and gives you control at the touch of your fingertips.

SAVE THIS MANUAL AND THE CODE LISTS! 

Remote controls can sometimes lose their programming when you 
change the batteries. Make sure you keep the manual and code lists in 
a safe place so that you can reprogram the remote if you need to.

Battery Installation and Information

Your universal remote requires two AA Alkaline batteries 
(batteries may or may not be included, depending on model). 

To install the batteries:

1. Remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert the batteries, matching the 

batteries to the (+) and (-) marks inside 
the battery compartment.

3   Press and push the battery cover back 

into place.

Note:

 If you are replacing batteries, try not to press any keys after 

you’ve taken the old batteries out. Pressing keys while replacing 
batteries causes the remote to lose the components you’ve programmed. 
You will need to program the remote again.

Battery Precautions:  

• Do not mix old and new batteries.  

• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel- 

  cadmium) batteries. 

• Always remove old, weak or worn-out batteries promptly and recycle or  

  dispose of them in accordance with Local and National Regulations.

Battery Saver

Your universal remote control saves battery power by 
automatically turning off if any key is pressed for more than 
60 seconds. This saves your battery life should your remote 
get stuck in a place where the keys remain depressed, such as 
between sofa cushions.

Backlighting

Tip:

 The three-component universal remote is already programmed 

to operate most RCA, GE and PROSCAN branded TVs, 
DVD players and satellite receivers. Just press the corresponding 
key—VCR•DVD for a DVD player; TV for a television; SAT•CBL 
for a satellite receiver.

Backlight illumination enables you to see the remote 
control keys better in the dark. Backlight illumination 
is toggled on or off with successive keypresses of the 

backlight key. When toggled on, the backlighting remains on 
as long as keys are being pressed. The backlighting turns off 
six seconds after the last keypress. Once the backlight time 
has expired, any keypress will reactivate backlighting. If the 
backlight illumination is on, and the backlight key is pressed, 
the backlight turns off.

Illuminated ON•OFF Key

The ON•OFF key powers components on and off. It also 
lights up to serve as an indicator light, providing feedback for 
various functions. When a valid key is pressed, the illuminated 
ON•OFF key remains lit as long as the key is pressed and turns 
off when the key is released. The ON•OFF key also blinks in 
Programming Mode or in Menu Mode to provide feedback.
