Types of Remote Controls
All of the remote controls mentioned here, in addition to other remotes and accessories, are available from your RCA distributor. Descriptions of the
remote buttons and how they work are on the next pages. Except as otherwise specified, the master remote is the remote described throughout the
manual for operating the TV and setting up the TV's features.
Master Remotes
The master remote control (CRK17TD1) allows access to all of the TV's menus. It is used to customize the TV’s functionality for specific users or specific
situations.
Basic Remotes
The basic remote control (CRK17TC1) is used by the viewer for basic operating functions. It is designed so that the viewer cannot alter certain master
remote-specified features. The
Sleep, Closed Captioning,
and
Channel Guide
features can be accessed directly with remote buttons.
Universal Remotes
These remote controls offer basic control of the television within the limits specified through the master remote (i.e., with the same limitations as the
CRK17TC1). In addition, they can be programmed to control other components (such as VCRs).
ClonePro
The ClonePro has main operating buttons that function the same as a master remote.
Hospital-Type Remotes
These specialized remote controls are UL-recognized for use in patient beds. Some offer simple, single-button operation of the TV; others have
enhanced capability for greater control. Specific models and requirements depend upon what other devices might also be in the room, such as nurse-
call systems. See your distributor for more information.
