Programming the Remote to Operate
Other Components
The universal remote control can be programmed to operate most brands
of remote controllable VCRs, satellite receivers and cable boxes. The
remote is already programmed to operate most RCA, GE and PROSCAN
TVs, VCRs, DVD players, laserdisc players and satellite receivers.
Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote
To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed,
turn a component ON, such as a VCR, point the remote at the VCR, and
press the VCR1 button. Then press ON•OFF or channel up or channel
down to see if the VCR responds to the remote commands. If not, the
remote needs to be programmed.
