Your Radio Shack 4-in-1 Light-Up Remote controls the
most-used functions on your TV, VCR, cable/SAT/DSS
converter, and DVD player.
After you set up the remote, its command keys will work
like the keys on your original remote controls. For example, depending on the device you select (TV, VCR, CBL/
SAT, or DVD)

Preparation
After installing the batteries (not included), you can immediately use the remote to control an RCA TV, VCR,
and DIRECTV receiver, as well as a Pioneer DVD player. To control other brands, you must perform some simple programming to overwrite the default parameters.
For best results, please read and perform all remaining
instructions. Also, keep these instructions for future reference.
If you experience any difficulties programming your remote, call customer service at 888-631-9859.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your remote requires four AAA batteries (not supplied)
for power. For the best performance and longest life, we
recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and
recommended type.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries.
• Do not mix old and new batteries or different types
of batteries (standard or alkaline).
• Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries can
leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
Note:
Do not press any of the remote control’s keys
while installing batteries.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1. Press the battery compartment cover’s tab and lift
off the cover.
2. Place the batteries in the compartment as i ndicated
by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.
3. Replace the cover.
Preparation
7
When batteries become low, the remote control ceases
operating in order to protect stored settings. Replacing
the batteries with new ones restores full functionality and
does not require you to reprogram your remote control.
Warning:
Dispose of old batteries promptly and proper-
ly. Do not burn or bury them.
Caution:
If you do not plan to use the remote for a
month or longer, remove the batteries. Batteries can
leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
DEVICE TYPES
You can use the remote control’s device keys to control
the following types of devices:
TV
— TV
VCR
— VCR or PVR (Personal Video Recorder)
CBL/SAT
DVD
— Cable converter or SAT/DSS receiver
— DVD or LD Player
SETTING UP YOUR REMOTE
To control devices other than the default brands (for example, an RCA TV, VCR, and DIRECTV receiver, and a
Pioneer DVD player), perform the following steps. If you
use the default brand devices, skip this section.
1. Refer to “Manufacturers’ Codes” on Page 20 and
write down the code(s) for the brand of each device
you want to program on the supplied label.
Note:
Some manufacturers may have several
codes listed. Try each until you find the right one. If
you cannot find the correct code, see “Manual Code
Search” on Page 17.
2. Turn on all your home entertainment devices.
3. On the remote control, press the desired device key

use the VCR code listed for your model under “TVVCR Combo Codes” on Page 33. If your TV/VCR
combination also lists a TV code, you must program
the TV separately by repeating Steps 3–5 to add

. The device should turn off.
If the remote control does not operate your device,
try the other codes listed in “Manufacturers’ Codes”
on Page 20 for your brand of device. Otherwise, use
the search method to find a working code — see
“Manual Code Search” on Page 17.
,
6. Repeat Steps 3–5 to program other devices.
Note:
If the remote control does not operate all
device functions, try using another code in the list
that may be more compatible.
PROGRAMMING FAVORITE CHANNEL

Troubleshooting
1. The P button is slightly recessed to avoid accidenta l
programming changes. You might need to use a
pointed device, such as a ballpoint pen, to apply
sufficient pressure.
2. If the remote control stops working after you have
successfully tested the control for each device, or if
you are unable to get the remote control to work at
all, do the following:
• Be sure you press the device key for the device you
want to control before you press any other key.
• Confirm that your IR devices are working properly
by using the original remote control or the manual
controls.
• Replace the batteries.
If you have any other problems, call customer service at
888-631-9859.
CARE
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 carefully; do not drop
it. Keep the remote away from dust and dirt, and wipe it
with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.
Modifying or tampering with the remote’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its
warranty. If your remote is not performing as it should,
take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
