Using Your Remote Control
Using the Universal remote with Other
Devices
The universal remote can be programmed to operate many brands
of remote controllable TVs, VCRs, audio devices, DVD players,
cable boxes, satellite receivers, and other devices. This remote is
already programmed to control many RCA, GE, and Proscan
devices.
Find Out if You need to Program the remote
To determine whether the universal remote needs to be
programmed to operate one of the devices in your home
entertainment system:
1. Turn on the device (your TV, for example).
2. Point the remote at the device.
3. Press the corresponding device button (in this example, TV).
4. Press ON•OFF to see if the device responds. If the device
doesn’t respond, you need to program the remote to operate it.
Programming the remote
There are two ways to program the remote control to operate other
devices: Automatic Code Search and Direct Entry.
Using automatic Code Search
The following instructions can be used to program the remote to
operate each of your devices. If you want to stop the automatic
code search without programming any of your devices, press and
hold CLEAR until the indicator on the remote turns off.
1. Turn on the device you want to operate (VCR, DVD player,
etc.).
2. Press and hold the device button you want to program (VCR,
DVD, etc.). While holding the device button, press and hold
ON•OFF until the indicator on the remote turns on, then
release both buttons.
3. Point the remote at the device.
Important Note:
The remote may not be compatible with all models
of all brands of devices. It also may not operate all functions of your
device.
4. Press and release PLAY, then wait 5 seconds or until the
indicator stops flashing.
At this point the remote is searching for the correct code to
program. If, after 5 seconds, the device you want to operate does
not turn off, press PLAY again to tell the remote to search the next
set of codes.
