In most cases, the keys on 
this remote perform the same 
functions as the keys on your 
original remotes once you’ve 
programmed this remote to 
operate your components. 
Many keys on this remote 
have other functions as well.

Illuminated 

ON•OFF

 key 

serves as an indicator light to 
provide feedback.

Device keys (

TV

SAT•CBL•DTC

VCR•DVD

) put 

the remote in the right mode 
to control your device.

Backlight key (

) turns 

backlighting on/off.

GUIDE

 and 

MENU

 put the 

remote in menu/guide mode, 
which makes the 

CH/VOL 

keys serve as arrow keys; 
they also access the same 
features as the keys on your 
original remotes.

Battery Saver

Your universal remote control saves battery power by 
automatically turning off if any key is pressed for more than 
60 seconds. This saves your battery life should your remote 
get stuck in a place where the keys remain depressed, such as 
between sofa cushions.

Care and Maintenance

•  Keep the remote dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.

•  Use and store the remote only in normal temperature 

environments.

•  Handle the remote gently and carefully. Don’t drop it.

•  Keep the remote away from dust and dirt.

•  Wipe the remote with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it 

looking new.

•  Modifying or tampering with the remote’s internal devices can 

cause malfunction and invalidate its warranty.

SAVE THIS MANUAL AND THE CODE LISTS!

Remote controls can sometimes lose their programming 
when you change the batteries. Make sure you keep the 
manual and code lists in a safe place so that you can 
reprogram the remote if you need to.

Tip:

 This remote is already programmed to operate 

most RCA-branded TVs, VCRs, DVD players and satellite 
receivers. Just press the corresponding key—VCR•DVD 
for a DVD player, TV for a television, SAT•CBL•DTC for a 
satellite receiver.

Your universal remote requires two 

AA 

alkaline batteries 

(batteries may or may not be included, depending on model).

To install the batteries:

1.

  Remove the battery 

compartment cover.

2. 

 Insert the batteries, matching 

the batteries to the (+) and 
(–) marks inside the battery 
compartment.

3. 

 Push the battery cover back into 

place.

Battery Precautions: 

• Do not mix old and new batteries. 
• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or 

rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.

• Always remove old, weak or worn-out batteries promptly 

and recycle or dispose of them in accordance with Local 
and National Regulations.

To use this universal remote with your home entertainment 
system, fi rst you need to program it to control your devices. 
There are four ways you can program the universal remote to 
operate your devices: 

• The 

Auto Code Search

 goes automatically through all the 

codes for the device you’re trying to control. It’s the easiest 
method, but it can sometimes take longer than some of the 
other programming methods. 

•  

The 

Brand Code Search

 searches through the codes for 

select brands of devices. It’s not as easy as the auto code 
search, but it can be faster.

•  

The 

Direct Code Entry

 lets you enter a code from the 

accompanying code list for your brand of device. It’s not as 
easy as the other methods, but it’s potentially the fastest 
method.

•  

The 

Manual Code Search

 lets you manually go through 

all the codes for the device you’re trying to control.

Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality

1. 

  Try a variety of the device’s functions with the remote. If 

some device features don’t work, go to next step to try a 
different code.

2. 

  Repeat the Auto Code Search Method from the beginning. 

When your device turns off, do not stop searching. 
Instead, with the unit now off, continue to press the PLAY 
key every 5 seconds until the unit turns back on. 

3. 

  Once the unit turns back on, press the REVERSE key on the 

remote every 2 seconds until your device turns off again. 
When your device turns off again, press the STOP key.

Auto Code Search

The Auto Code Search goes automatically through all the 
codes for the device you’re trying to control. When you fi nd 
the one that operates your device, you can stop the search and 
store that code. 

TIPS

:

 Each device key is associated with a type of device—

the TV is preset to search for TVs, SAT•CBL•DTC for satellite 
receivers, cable boxes or digital TV converters (DTC), and 
VCR•DVD for VCRs or DVD players.

To exit without saving a new code at any point in the Auto 
Code Search, press the 

GO BACK

 key.

1.

  Manually turn on the device you 

want to control. 

3.

  Press and hold the device key you want to program. While 

you’re holding down the device key, use your other hand 
to press and hold the remote’s 

ON•OFF 

key at the same 

time.

4.

  Wait until the 

ON•OFF key

 comes on and stays on. Then 

release both keys.

5.

  Point the remote directly at the 

front panel of the device you 
want to control. Press PLAY on 
the remote and wait 5 seconds. 
The remote is testing a batch of 
10 codes on your device.

 

Did your device turn off? 

 YES: 

Go to step 

6

.

 NO: 

Press PLAY again. The remote tests the next batch of 

10 codes. 

 

Keep pressing PLAY every 5 seconds until your device turns 
off. 

6.

 

When your device turns off, press 
the REVERSE key on the remote 
and wait at least 2 seconds. 
The remote tries the last of the 
previous ten codes. 

 

Did your device turn on?

 YES: 

Press the STOP key. You’re 

done! You’ve programmed this 
device key.

 NO: 

Press REVERSE again. The remote tests the next 

code in the batch. 

 

Keep pressing REVERSE every 2 seconds until your device 
turns back on. When it does, press STOP.

Note:

 If you accidentally press the REVERSE key after your 

device turns on, press the FORWARD key. Then, wait two 
seconds to see if your device turns off again. 

NOTES

Throughout the programming of each key, be sure to keep 
the remote pointed at the IR sensor of the device you are 
currently programming the remote to control.

Test the remote with the device to make sure the 
device key is programmed with the correct code for 
maximum functionality. If some features don’t work, try 
a different code. See the “Testing the Code for Maximum 
Functionality” section below for more information.

During the Auto Code Search, the remote ignores 
keypresses that aren’t part of the search. 

The search times out after two minutes (the ON•OFF key 
blinks four times and turns off, and the last programmed 
code under that device key is retained).

The ON•OFF key blinks four times and turns off when the 
remote has gone through all the codes. The remote exits 
the Auto Code Search. If your device hasn’t turned off yet, 
try a different search method.

Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality

1. 

  Try a variety of the device’s functions with the remote. If 

some device features don’t work, go to the next step to try 
a different code.

2. 

  Repeat the Brand Code Search from the beginning. When 

the device turns off for the fi rst time, don’t press the STOP 
key, which would store the same code. Instead, with the 
unit now off, continue to press the 

ON•OFF

 key repeatedly 

until the unit turns back on.

3. 

  Once the unit turns back on, you have found another code 

that operates the device. Press the STOP key.

4. 

  Test the key’s functionality again by attempting to control 

a variety of the device’s functions. If the code that has 
been stored controls the majority of the device’s functions, 
programming is complete. If the code stored does not give 
maximum functionality, try another code.

Brand Code Search

The Brand Code Search goes through only the codes for one of 
the select brands listed in the accompanying code list. If your 
brand of device is listed, this search can be very quick and easy. 

TIPS

:

 Each device key is associated with a type of device—the 

TV is preset to search for TVs, SAT•CBL•DTC for satellite 
receivers, cable boxes or digital TV converters (DTC), and 
VCR•DVD for VCRs or DVD players.

The ON•OFF key serves as an indicator light during 
programming, giving you feedback at each stage of the process.

To exit without saving a new code at any point in the Brand 
Code Search, press the 

GO BACK

 key.

1.

  Manually turn on the device you 

want to control. 

4.

  Press and hold the device key you want to program. While 

you’re holding down the device key, use your other hand 
to press and hold the remote’s ON•OFF key at the same 
time.

5.

  Wait until the ON•OFF key comes on and stays on. Then 

release both keys.

7.

  Point the remote directly at the 

front panel of the device you want 
to control. Press ON•OFF on the 
remote and wait 2 seconds. The 
remote is testing a single code for 
your device’s brand.

 

Did your device turn off? 

 YES: 

Press the STOP key to store the code. You’re done! 

You’ve programmed this device key.

 NO: 

Press ON•OFF again. The remote tests the next code 

for your brand. 

 

Keep pressing ON•OFF every 2 seconds until your device 
turns off. When it does, press STOP.

3.

  Find your device’s brand in the 

Brand Code list section of the 
accompanying code list. Circle 
the number for your brand and 
keep the list handy.

6.

  Look at the number you circled for 

your device’s brand code number. 
Press that number on the remote 
keypad.

NOTES

Throughout the programming of each key, be sure to keep 
the remote pointed at the IR sensor of the device you are 
currently programming the remote to control.

Test the remote with the device to make sure the device 
key is programmed with the correct code for maximum 
functionality. If some features don’t work, try a different 
code. See the “Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality” 
section below for more information.

During the Brand Code Search, the remote ignores 
keypresses that aren’t part of the search. 

The search times out after two minutes (the ON•OFF key 
blinks four times and turns off, and the last programmed 
code under that device key is retained).

The ON•OFF key blinks four times and turns off when the 
remote has gone through all the codes. The remote exits the 
Brand Code Search. If your device hasn’t turned off yet, try a 
different search method.

Direct Code Entry

Direct Code Entry lets you enter a code from the accompanying 
code list for your brand of device. It’s not as easy as the other 
methods, but it’s potentially the fastest method.

1.

  Manually turn on the device you 

want to control. 

3.

  Press and hold the device key you want to program (the 

ON•OFF key comes on). 

 

While you’re holding down the device key, use your other 
hand enter the fi rst fi ve-digit code for your brand in the 
code list (the ON•OFF key goes off after the fi rst digit).

2.

  Find the Code List that came with 

the remote. Locate the section for 
the type of device you’re trying to 
program, and fi nd your brand in 
that section. Circle the codes for 
your brand and keep them handy.

NOTES

Remember to enter the code for future reference in the box 
provided in the Code Retrieval section of this manual. 

If your brand isn’t listed in the code list, use one of the Code 
Search methods to program the remote control. (Refer to the 
Auto and Manual Code Search methods.)

If you release the device key any time during the Direct Code 
Entry procedure, the ON•OFF key blinks four times, and 
the process is exited. The last programmed code under the 
device key is retained.

Test the remote with the device to make sure the device 
key is programmed with the correct code for maximum 
functionality. If some features don’t work, try a different code 
in the list.

4.

  When you’ve fi nished entering the fi ve-digit code, keep 

holding down the device key and look at the ON•OFF key. 

 

Is the ON•OFF key on? 

  

YES: 

You’re done! You’ve program

med this device key.

 

NO, it blinked four times and turned off: 

You have 

either entered a code number that is not in the code lists or 
missed a step in the code entry procedure. Try step 3 again.

Manual Code Search

The Manual Code Search lets you go one-by-one through all the 
codes for the device you’re trying to control. When you fi nd the 
one that operates your device, you can stop the search and store 
that code. 

TIPS:

 

Each device key is associated with a type of device—the 

TV is preset to search for TVs, SAT•CBL•DTC for satellite 
receivers, cable boxes or digital TV converters (DTC), and 
VCR•DVD for VCRs or DVD players.

The ON•OFF key serves as an indicator light during 
programming, giving you feedback at each stage of the process.

The Manual Code Search method may take a long time because 
the remote searches through all of the codes in its memory 
one-by-one. If your brand is listed in the Brand Codes or the 
Code Lists, fi rst try the Brand Code Search or the Direct Code 
Entry method.

To exit without saving a new code at any point in the Manual 
Code Search, press the GO BACK key.

1.

  Manually turn on the device you 

want to control. 

2.

 

If you’re programming the TV or SAT•CBL•DTC key,

 

go to step 3.

 

If you’re programming the VCR•DVD key,

 you need to 

tell the remote which kind of device you want this key to 
control, VCR or DVD.

 

Press and hold the VCR•DVD key. While you’re holding 
down the VCR•DVD key, use your other hand to press the 
number key for the type of device you want to control with 
this key: 2 for VCR, 3 for DVD.

4.

  Wait until the ON•OFF key comes on and stays on. Then 

release both keys.

5.

  Point the remote directly at the front panel of the device you 

want to control. Press ON•OFF on the remote and wait 2 
seconds. The remote is testing a single code for your device.

 

Did your device turn off? 

 

YES:

 Press the STOP key to store 

the code. You’re done! You’ve 
programmed this device key.

 NO: 

Press ON•OFF again. The 

remote tests the next code for 
your device. 

 Keep 

pressing 

ON•OFF every 2 

seconds until your device turns back 
on. When it does, press STOP.

 

TIP:

 Because there are so many codes, you may have to press 

the ON•OFF key many times—possibly hundreds of times.

NOTES

Throughout the programming of each key, keep the remote 
pointed at the IR sensor of the device you are programming 
the remote to control.

Test the remote with the device to make sure the device 
key is programmed with the correct code for maximum 
functionality. If some features don’t work, try a different 
code. See the “Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality” 
section below for more information.

During the Manual Code Search, the remote ignores 
keypresses that aren’t part of the search. 

The search times out after two minutes (the ON•OFF key 
blinks four times and turns off, and the last programmed 
code under that device key is retained).

The ON•OFF key blinks four times and turns off when the 
remote has gone through all the codes. The remote exits the 
Manual Code Search. If your device hasn’t turned off yet, try 
a different search method.

Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality

1.

   Try a variety of the device’s functions with the remote. If 

some features of your devices don’t work, go to the next 
step to try a different code.

2. 

  Repeat the Manual Code Search from the beginning. When 

the device turns off for the fi rst time, don’t press the STOP 
key, which would store the same code. Instead, with the 
unit now off, continue to press the 

ON•OFF 

key repeatedly 

until the unit turns back on. 

3. 

  Once the unit turns back on, you have found another code 

that operates the device. Press the STOP key.

4. 

  Test the key’s functionality again by trying a variety of 

functions. If the code controls the majority of the device’s 
functions, programming is complete. If the code stored 
does not give maximum functionality, try another code.

Code Retrieval

Once you’ve programmed the remote to control your devices, 
you may want to record the codes for future reference. If 
you used the Direct Code Entry method, this is easy. Just 
fi nd the codes you entered and make a note of them in the 
boxes below. If you used one of the Code Search methods to 
program your remote or if you used the Direct Entry method 
but don’t remember the code, you will need to retrieve each 
device’s fi ve-digit code. Retrieving the actual code and writing 
it down will save you time if you ever need to program the 
remote again (e.g., if programming is lost when you change 
the batteries). If the codes are recorded, you can use the 
Direct Entry method to reprogram your remote to control your 
devices, which is quick and easy.

1.   Press and hold the device key 

(TV, SAT•CBL•DTC, VCR•DVD) 
whose code you wish to retrieve. 
The ON•OFF key turns on. Keep 
pressing the device key.

IMPORTANT

Because this remote controls more than one device, you 
must fi rst “tell” the remote which device you wish to 
operate. That means, if you wish to operate your TV, you 
must fi rst press the TV key to put the remote in the TV 
Mode. The remote stays in that device mode until you press 
a different device key. For example, if your remote is in TV 
Mode and you want to operate the DVD player, you must 
press the 

VCR•DVD 

key to change device modes.

Accessing Device Menus and Guides

Many devices use on-screen menus and guides to help you 
navigate through all their features and programming. While 
this remote may not access every menu or guide system 
of every device model, it does offer some menu and guide 
functionality.

To use a device’s on-screen menu or guide system, you fi rst 
have to put the remote in Menu or Guide Mode.

1.   Make sure your devices are turned on and your TV is set 

to the correct device input (use the INPUT key to toggle 
through inputs when in TV Mode.)

2.   Press the device key whose menu you want to access.

4.   Use the VOL+/- and CH+/- keys to 

navigate through the on-screen 
menu system or guide. To select the 
highlighted item, press the OK key.

TIP:

 If the remote doesn’t respond, 

check to see that the ON•OFF key is 
still blinking. The ON•OFF key times 
out after 20 seconds. If this happens, 
just press the MENU key again, and 
then retry your selection.

Exiting Menu/Guide Mode

The remote automatically times out of Menu or Guide Mode 
after 20 seconds of inactivity (no keys being pressed). At that 
time, the remote clears the displayed menu from the TV.

If you want to exit the Menu Mode yourself, press the 
corresponding device key on the remote (TV, SAT•CBL•DTC, 
VCR•DVD). The ON•OFF key turns off.

Problem: The remote does not operate your device.

•  

Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing the 
corresponding device key (TV, SAT•CBL•DTC, VCR•DVD). This 
tells the remote which device to operate.

•  

Remove any obstacles between the remote and the device. Make 
sure you’re aiming the remote at the device’s IR sensor.

•  

Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed. 
Replace the batteries with two new AA batteries, if necessary 
(see the Battery Installation section). 

Problem: The remote can’t be programmed to operate your 
device.

•  

If you are testing the remote while programming it, you may be 
too far away from the device or at a wrong angle. There must be 
an unobstructed path between the remote and the IR sensor on 
the device. Move closer and make sure you point the remote at 
the device you’re trying to control.

•  

If you’re using the Direct Entry programming method to enter 
the codes for your brand and the unit is still not functioning 
properly, try the auto, brand, or manual search method.

•  

To control combo units, like TV/VCRs or TV/DVDs, you must 
program the individual corresponding device keys to control 
each part of the combo unit. Once programmed successfully, the 
TV key controls the TV functions, and the VCR•DVD key controls 
the VCR or DVD functions. 

•  

Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed.

Problem: The remote doesn’t perform commands properly.

•  

Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing the 
corresponding device key (TV, SAT•CBL•DTC, VCR•DVD). This 
tells the remote which device to operate.

•  

Make sure device is ready (for example, the DVD player has a 
disc loaded).

•  

You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode the remote is in.

•  

If you’re trying to enter a channel number directly, try pressing 
the ENTER key after entering the channel number as this is a 
requirement of certain models and brands.

•  

There is a possibility that a programmed code may only be 
able to control some of your device features (for example, only 
turns a device on and off). To confi rm that the device key is 
programmed with the correct code for maximum functionality, 
test the device. Attempt to control a variety of the device’s 
functions with the remote. If some of the features of your 
devices don’t work, try programming the remote with a different 
code in the list using the Direct Code Entry Method, until you 
fi nd the code that allows the remote to control the majority of 
your device’s functions. Different codes can provide different 
levels of functionality.

Problem: The ON•OFF key does not light when you press a key.

•  

You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode the remote is 
in. 

• 

Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing the 
corresponding device key (TV, SAT•CBL•DTC, VCR•DVD). This 
tells the remote which device to operate.

•  

Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed. 
Replace the batteries with two new AA batteries, if necessary 
(see the Battery Installation section). 

Problem: The remote will not change channels on device.

• 

Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing the 
corresponding device key (TV, SAT•CBL•DTC, VCR•DVD). This 
tells the remote which device to operate.

•  

Press the ENTER key after you enter a channel number.

•  

Remove any obstacles between the remote and the device. Make 
sure to aim the remote at the IR sensor on the device.

Problem: The device’s menu does not appear on the TV screen.

•  

Make sure you have connected the device to your TV properly and 
selected the correct input. (See your devices’ Owner’s Manuals for 
proper connection procedures.)

• 

Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing the 
corresponding device key (TV, SAT•CBL•DTC, VCR•DVD). This 
tells the remote which device to operate.

•  

Menu access isn’t supported for all brands. You may need to use 
your original remote control to access menu functions for some 
devices.
