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.

Universal Remote Control 

Owner’s Manual

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.

Tip: This remote is already programmed to operate most 
RCA-branded TVs, VCRs, and satellite receivers. Just press 
the corresponding key—TV for a television, SAT•CBL•DTC 
for a satellite receiver, VCR•DVD for a VCR.

Your universal remote requires two AAA alkaline batteries (not 
included).

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. 

 Push the battery cover back into 

place.

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.

To use this universal remote with your home entertainment 
system, first you need to program it to control your devices. 
There are four ways you can program the universal remote to 
operate your devices: 

• 

The 

Auto Code Search

 goes automatically through all the 

codes for the device you’re trying to control. It’s the easiest 
method, but it can sometimes take longer than some of 
the other programming methods. 

•   The 

Brand Code Search

 searches through the codes for 

select brands of devices. It’s not as easy as the auto code 
search, but it can be faster.

•   The 

Direct Code Entry

 lets you enter a code from the 

accompanying code list for your brand of device. It’s not as 
easy as the other methods, but it’s potentially the fastest 
method.

•   The 

Manual Code Search

 lets you manually go through 

all the codes for the device you’re trying to control.

Auto Code Search

The Auto Code Search goes automatically through all the 
codes for the device you’re trying to control. When you find 
the one that operates your device, you can stop the search and 
store that code. 

TIP: To exit without saving a new code at any point in the 
Auto Code Search, press the GO BACK key.

1.

  Manually turn on the device you 

want to control. 

2.

 

If you’re programming the TV or SAT•CBL•DTC key,

 go 

to step 3.

 

If you’re programming the VCR•DVD key,

 you need to 

tell the remote which kind of device you want this key to 
control, VCR or DVD.

 

Press and hold the VCR•DVD key. While you’re holding 
down the VCR•DVD key, use your other hand to press the 
number key for the type of device you want to control with 
this key: 2 for VCR, 3 for DVD. Then release both keys.

4.

  Wait until the remote’s indicator 

comes on and stays on. Then 
release both keys.
