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.

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, DVD players and satellite 

receivers. Just press the corresponding key—DVD•VCR 

for a DVD player, TV for a television, SAT•CBL•DTC for a 

satellite receiver, DVR•AUX for a DVR.

Your universal remote requires two AAA alkaline batteries (not 

included).

To install the batteries:

1.

  Press and push the battery 

compartment cover to remove it.

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.

Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality
1. 

Try a variety of the device’s functions with the remote. If 

some device features don’t work, go to the next step to try 

a different code.

2. 

  Repeat the Auto Code Search Method from the beginning. 

When your device turns off, do not stop searching. 

Instead, with the unit now off, continue to press the PLAY 

key every 5 seconds until the unit turns back on. 

3. 

  Once the unit turns back on, press the REVERSE key on the 

remote every 2 seconds until your device turns off again. 

When your device turns off again, press the STOP key. 

4. 

  Test the key’s functionality again by attempting to control 

a variety of the device’s functions. If the code that has 

been stored controls the majority of the device’s functions, 

programming is complete. If the code stored does not give 

maximum functionality, try another code.

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. 

TIPS: Each device key is associated with a type of 

device—the TV is preset to search for TVs, SAT•CBL•DTC 

for satellite receivers, cable boxes or digital TV converters, 

DVD•VCR for DVD players, and DVR•AUX for DVRs. To 

program a device key for a different type of device, see the 

Changing a Key’s Device Type

 section. 

To exit without saving a new code at any point in the Auto 

Code Search, press the CLEAR key.

1.

  Manually turn on the device you 

want to control. 

2.

  Press and hold the device key you want to program. While 

you’re holding down the device key, use your other hand 

to press and hold the remote’s POWER key at the same 

time.

3.

  Wait until the remote’s indicator 

indicator light comes on and 

stays on. Then release both keys.

4.

  Point the remote directly at the 

front panel of the device you 

want to control. Press PLAY on 

the remote and wait 5 seconds. 

The remote is testing a batch of 

10 codes on your device.

 

Did your device turn off? 

 

YES: 

Go to step 5.

 

NO: 

Press PLAY again. The remote tests the next batch of 

10 codes. 

 

Keep pressing PLAY every 5 seconds until your device turns 

off. 

5. 

When your device turns off, press 

the REVERSE key on the remote 

and wait at least 2 seconds. 

The remote tries the last of the 

previous ten codes. 

 

Did your device turn on?

 

YES: 

Press the STOP key. You’re 

done! You’ve programmed this 

device key.

 

NO: 

Press REVERSE again. The remote tests the next 

code in the batch. 

 

Keep pressing REVERSE every 2 seconds until your device 

turns back on. When it does, press STOP.

Note: If you accidentally press the REVERSE key after your 

device turns on, press the FORWARD key. Then, wait two 

seconds to see if your device turns off again. 

NOTES

Throughout the programming of each key, be sure to keep 

the remote pointed at the IR sensor of the device you are 

currently programming the remote to control.

Test the remote with the device to make sure the 

device key is programmed with the correct code for 

maximum functionality. If some features don’t work, try 

a different code. See the “Testing the Code for Maximum 

Functionality” section below for more information.

During the Auto Code Search, the remote ignores 

keypresses that aren’t part of the search. 

The search times out after two minutes (the indicator light 

blinks four times and turns off, and the last programmed 

code under that device key is retained).

The indicator light blinks four times and turns off when the 

remote has gone through all the codes. The remote exits 

the Auto Code Search. If your device hasn’t turned off yet, 

try a different search method.

Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality
1. 

  Try a variety of the device’s functions with the remote. If 

some device features don’t work, go to the next step to try 

a different code.

2. 

  Repeat the Brand Code Search from the beginning. When 

the device turns off for the first time, don’t press the STOP 

key, which would store the same code. Instead, with the 

unit now off, continue to press the POWER key repeatedly 

until the unit turns back on.

3. 

  Once the unit turns back on, you have found another code 

that operates the device. Press the STOP key.

4. 

  Test the key’s functionality again by attempting to control 

a variety of the device’s functions. If the code that has 

been stored controls the majority of the device’s functions, 

programming is complete. If the code stored does not give 

maximum functionality, try another code.

Brand Code Search

The Brand Code Search goes through only the codes for one of 

the select brands listed in the accompanying code list. If your 

brand of device is listed, this search can be very quick and easy. 

TIPS: Each device key is associated with a type of device—

the TV is preset to search for TVs, SAT•CBL•DTC for satellite 

receivers, cable boxes or digital TV converters, DVD•VCR 

for DVD players, and DVR•AUX for DVRs. To program a 

device key for a different type of device, see the 

Changing a 

Key’s Device Type

 section. 

To exit without saving a new code at any point in the Brand 

Code Search, press the CLEAR key.

1.

  Manually turn on the device you 

want to control. 

3.

  Press and hold the device key you want to program. While 

you’re holding down the device key, use your other hand 

to press and hold the remote’s POWER key at the same 

time.

4.

  Wait until the remote’s indicator 

comes on and stays on. Then release 

both keys.

6.

  Point the remote directly at the 

front panel of the device you want 

to control. Press POWER on the 

remote and wait 2 seconds. The 

remote is testing a single code for 

your device’s brand.

 

Did your device turn off? 

 

YES: 

Press the STOP key to store the code. You’re done! 

You’ve programmed this device key.

 

NO: 

Press POWER again. The remote tests the next code 

for your brand. 

 

Keep pressing POWER every 2 seconds until your device 

turns back on. When it does, press STOP.

2.

  Find your device’s brand in the 

Brand Code list section of the 

accompanying code list. Circle 

the number for your brand and

NOTES
Remember to enter the code for future reference in the box 

provided in the Code Retrieval section of this manual. 
If your brand isn’t listed in the code list, use one of the Code 

Search methods to program the remote control. (Refer to the 

Auto and Manual Code Search methods.)

If you release the device key any time during the Direct Code 

Entry procedure, the indicator light blinks four times, and 

the process is exited. The last programmed code under the 

device key is retained.

Test the remote with the device to make sure the device 

key is programmed with the correct code for maximum 

functionality. If some features don’t work, try a different code 

in the list.

4.

  When you’ve finished entering 

the five-digit code, keep holding 

down the device key and look at 

the indicator light. 

 

Is the indicator light on?

 

YES: 

You’re done! You’ve 

programmed this device key.

 

NO, it blinked four times and turned off: 

You have 

either entered a code number that is not in the code lists 

or missed a step in the code entry procedure. Try step 3 

again. 

Indicator light

Manual Code Search

The Manual Code Search lets you go one-by-one 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. 

TIPS: The Manual Code Search method may take a long time 

because the remote searches through all of the codes in 

its memory one-by-one. If your brand is listed in the Brand 

Codes or the Code Lists, first try the Brand Code Search or 

the Direct Code Entry method.

Each device key is associated with a type of device—the TV is 

preset to search for TVs, SAT•CBL•DTC for satellite receivers, 

cable boxes or digital TV converters, DVD•VCR for DVD 

players, and DVR•AUX for DVRs. To program a device key for 

a different type of device, see the
