Chapter 2: The Remote Control
Explanation of Buttons
You can use this remote to operate the DVD/VCR, and to access the features available. The remote is also designed to
operate most RCA, GE, and Proscan components (TVs, VCRs, DVD players, audio components and satellite receivers).
If you have another brand, you can program the remote control to operate those components (go to page 23 for
instructions).
The descriptions that follow describe how each button works when operating the DVD/VCR. Many buttons will perform
different functions depending upon the type of disc and menu functions of the disc.
0-9 (Number buttons)
Use the number buttons to input information such as chapter numbers, track numbers, to make
selections on some menu screens, and/or to change channels.
Arrow buttons (up, down, left, right)
Use the arrow buttons to highlight options that appear on the screen (the
arrow buttons move the highlight in the corresponding directions—up arrow moves the highlight up; left arrow moves the
highlight left, etc.).
