Using the Remote

Programming the Remote Control
The universal remote can be programmed to control most brands of remote
controllable components, such as VCRs. The remote is already programmed to
control most RCA, GE and PROSCAN TVs, VCRs, DVD players, and laserdisc players.
Testing the Remote Control
To determine whether the universal remote control requires programming, turn on a
component, such as a VCR, point the remote control at the VCR, and press the VCR1
button. Then press ON•OFF or CH + (channel up) or CH - (channel down) to see if the
VCR responds to the remote control commands. If not, it requires programming.
Programming the Remote Control
Using Automatic Code Search
The following instructions can be used to program the remote control. If you want to
exit the automatic code search without programming any of your components, press
and hold CLEAR until the LED light on the remote control turns off.
1.
Turn on the component you want to control (VCR, etc.).
2.
Press and hold the button you want to program (VCR1, VCR2, etc.). Note that the
AUX button can only be programmed using direct entry (see the next section for
details). While holding the component button, press and hold ON•OFF until the
LED light on the remote control turns on, then release both buttons.
3.
Point the remote control at the component you want it to control.
4.
Press and release PLAY, then wait five seconds or until the LED light stops
flashing.
At this point the remote control is searching for the correct code to program. If,
after five seconds, the component you want to control does not turn off, press
PLAY again to tell the remote control to search the next set of codes.
Continue pressing PLAY until the component turns off or you have searched
through all of the codes. There are 20 total sets of codes. If the component does
not turn off after pressing PLAY 20 times, then the remote cannot control that
particular component.
If the component you want to control
does
turn off:
1.
Press and release REVERSE, then wait two seconds. Repeat this step until the
component turns back on.
2.
To finish, press and hold STOP until the LED light on the remote control turns
off.
You’ll use these buttons when
you program the remote to
control any component.
The remote may not operate all
models of all brands.
