Congratulations on your purchase of the RM24906
Universal Remote Control. The RM24906 is one
of the most easy to use remote controls available
today. With the RM24906, juggling multiple remote
controls is a thing of the past! Your RM24906
controls up to four devices, including the most
popular brands of TV, VCR, DVD, CBL, and SAT.
The RM24906 is easy to use, easy to program,
and it gives you total control—at the touch of your

ngertips!

Note: Some functions from your original remote
may not be controlled by this remote. Use the
original remote, if available, to control such
functions. Sometimes buttons other than described
in these instructions may actually perform the
function. For example, the CHAN and VOL
buttons might be used to navigate through menu
choices. We recommend you experiment with the
remote to identify if such situations pertain to your
equipment.

Setup

Battery Installation

1. On the back of the remote, push down on the
tab and lift the cover off.

2. Match the batteries to the + and - marks inside
the battery case, then insert 2 AAA Alkaline
batteries.

3. Press the battery cover back into place.

Battery Saver

Your remote automatically turns off if the buttons
are depressed more than 30 seconds. This will
save your batteries should your remote get stuck in
a place where the buttons remain depressed (e.g.,
between the sofa cushions).

Code Saver

You will have up to 10 minutes to change the
batteries in your remote without losing codes you
have programmed. However, do not press any
buttons until batteries are installed in the remote.
If buttons are pressed without batteries in the
remote, all codes will be lost.

Code Setup

The CODE SEARCH button is used to setup the
remote. You can either setup the remote using the
code tables (on separate sheet), or you can search

throughthelibraryofcodesuntilyoundacode

that works for your product. Please refer to “ Code
Search” on page 8 for more information on using
the code search feature to learn how to search
through the library of codes for your products.
NOTE: You can store any kind of code under any
mode (except TV). I.E. you can store a VCR code
under the CBL/SAT button, or a Cable code under
the DVD/AUX button, etc. However, you can only
store TV codes under the TV button.

Button Functions

Some buttons on the remote might have functions that
are referred to by different names on the device you
are controlling. E.G. PREV.CH may be called RECALL,
or ENTER may be called DISPLAY. These differences
depend on the brand and model of your product. Also,
this remote can only operate features that exist on your
product. E.G., your product must have PREV.CH ability
for the PREV.CH button to operate this feature.

Controlling Devices with Separate
Power On and Off Buttons

Some GE, RCA and ProScan models require
you to press the device button for more than one
second to turn the device on and the ON•OFF
button to turn the device off.

Controlling Combo Devices

Some Combo devices (e.g. TV/VCR, TV/DVD,
DVD/VCR, etc.) will require you to set up two
different Mode buttons to control both parts of the
Combo device. For example, if you have a TV/
DVD Combo, you might need to set up one code
under the TV button to control the TV part AND a
separate code (under any other Mode button) to
control the DVD part.

VCR/DVD Punch-Through

This remote allows the 6 VCR transport buttons
(i.e. PLAY, PAUSE, STOP, FF, REWIND, and
REC) to Punch-Through control from any Mode
programmed with TV, SAT or Cable codes to the
last VCR, or DVD programmed Mode you used.
This feature will not operate if the programmed
TV, SAT or Cable code has its own VCR transport
button control e.g. a TV Combo, SAT/PVR, etc.

Using Your Remote, cont.

Volume/Mute Control and Punch­Through

This remote lets you select which device Mode
controls your Volume/Mute buttons. The remote is
initially set for all device Modes to use their own
Volume/Mute control if present. If the programmed
code has no Volume/Mute operation of its own
then those buttons will punch-through control to
the TV Mode device without needing to change to

TV Mode.

Any Mode chosen for Volume/Mute control
MUST have its own Volume/Mute function or
the Volume/Mute buttons will do nothing.

Setting ALL Volume/Mute Control to
any one Mode

This routine can set all Modes to “punch-through”
to any one chosen Mode for Volume/Mute button
control without the needing to change to that

Mode.

1. Press and hold the CODE SEARCH
button until the red indicator turns on,

then release the button.

2. Press and hold the MUTE button until the
red indicator blinks off, then release the
button.

3. Press and release the desired Mode button
(TV, VCR, etc.) for Volume/Mute control,
the red indicator blinks then stays on.

4. Press and release the MUTE button
and the red indicator turns off. The

red indicator will blink rapidly for
three seconds if the Mode you have
selected has no Volume/Mute control.

All other Modes will now punch-through

to your chosen Mode for Volume/Mute control.

12

Using Your Remote, cont.

Setting any Mode to use its own
Volume/Mute Control

This routine can set any Mode to use only its own
Volume/Mute control. Note - If your chosen Mode
has no Volume/Mute functions of its own then the
Volume/Mute buttons will do nothing.

1. Press and hold the
button until the red indicator turns on,
then release the button.

2. Press and hold the MUTE button until
the red indicator blinks off, then release
the button.

3. Press and release the desired Mode
button (TV, VCR, etc.), the red indicator
blinks then stays on.

4. Press and release the VOLUME- (Down)
button, the red indicator blinks then
stays on.

5. Press and release the MUTE button
