Using the Remote Control
Programming the Remote to Operate Other
Components
The universal remote can be programmed to operate most
brands of remote controllable components. The remote is
already programmed to operate most RCA, GE, and Proscan
components.
Also, the AUX button can be programmed to operate most
brands of an additional remote-controllable component.
Notes: The TV button can’t be programmed on this remote.
The remote may not be compatible with all brands and models of
components. It also may not operate all functions of the remote that
came with your component.
Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote
To determine whether the universal remote needs to be
programmed for your component, turn the component ON.
For example, to program the remote for a VCR, turn on the
VCR. Point the remote 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 commands. If
the component does not respond, the remote needs to be
programmed.
You’ll use these buttons when
programming the remote.

Programming the Remote
There are two ways to program the remote control:
•
automatic code search
•
direct entry
Using Automatic Code Search
The following instructions can be used to program the remote to operate each of your
components. If you want to stop the automatic code search without programming
any of your components, press CLEAR until the indicator on the remote turns off.
1. Turn on the component you want to operate (VCR, DVD player, etc.)
2. Press and hold the component button you want to program (VCR1, DVD, etc.).
While holding the component button, press and hold ON•OFF until the indicator
on the remote turns on, then release both buttons.
3. Point the remote at the component. Press and release PLAY, then wait 5 seconds or
until the indicator on the remote stops flashing.
At this point the remote is searching for the correct code to program. If, after 5
seconds, the component you want to operate does not turn off, press PLAY again
to tell the remote 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 can’t be programmed
to operate that component. Press CLEAR to turn off the indicator light.
