Your Radio Shack 6-In-One Remote controls the
most-used functions on your TV, VCR, cable/SAT/
DSS converter, DVD player, CD player, and auxiliary
device.
After you set up the remote control, 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, DVD, CD, or AUX)
just like the POWER ON/OFF key on the remote control for your original TV, VCR, cable/SAT/DSS, DVD
player, CD player, or auxiliary device.

Preparation
After installing the batteries (not included), you can immediately use the remote (with its factory-programmed settings) to control an RCA TV, VCR, and
DIRECTV system (or SAT/DSS receiver), as well as a
Pioneer DVD player, CD player, and auxiliary device.
To control other brands, you must perform some simple programming to overwrite the default parameters.
For best results, read and perform all remaining instructions. Also, keep these instructions for future reference.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your remote requires four AAA batteries (not supplied)
for power. For the best performance and longest life,
we recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries.
Preparation
7
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.
Do not press any of the remote control’s keys
Note:
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 indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked
inside.
3. Replace the cover.
When batteries become low, the remote control stops
operating 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 prop-
erly. 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.
Do not place objects on top of the remote con-
Note:
trol after you have installed the batteries. This can depress keys for an extended period of time and reduce
the battery life.

SETTING UP YOUR REMOTE
To control devices other than the default brands (for
example, an RCA TV, VCR, and cable converter or
SAT/DSS receiver, a Pioneer DVD player, CD player,
and auxiliary device), perform the following steps. If
you use the default brand devices, skip this section.
1. Refer to “Manufacturers’ Codes” on Page 25 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 “Using
Manual Code Search” on Page 23.
2. Turn on all your home entertainment devices.
3. On the remote control, press the desired device
TV, VCR, CBL/SAT, DVD, CD
key (
or
AUX
).
Note:
For TV/VCR combinations, press
VCR
and
use the VCR code listed for your model under
“Television-VCR Combo Codes” on Page 45. If
your TV/VCR combination also lists a TV code,
you must program the TV separately by repeating
Steps 3–5 to add volume control. In Step 3, press

4. Hold down P until the remote’s red light blinks
twice, then enter the first 4-digit manufacturer’s
code for the desired device. When the red light

POWER
If the remote control does not operate your
device, try the other codes listed in “Manufacturers’ Codes” on Page 25 for your brand of device.
Otherwise, use the search method to find a working code (see “Using Manual Code Search” on
Page 23).
6. Repeat Steps 2–5 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

Once you have programmed channels into a favorite
channel table, you can scan up to ten favorite channels for a desired device.
