between sofa cushions.
Programming Your Remote
Your universal remote can operate a vaneiy oi brands ot
components. In order for your universal remote to control your
components, you need to program the remote with the codes
that match the components (See Code Lists enclosed or go to
rca.com/codcfinder). These code^s enable the remote to
communicate with your components. Each brand and each
component has its own “language,” and, by programming the
correct codes into your remote, you ttU the remote to “speak the
same language' as your components.
The RCA Easy Interactive Code Finder
The online intcficiiv« axle finder at wwwjci-coni/codcfirtder nukes it
easier to find exaeth’ the nghr cx?dcs tixyour components, 'llte code finder
takes yr>u ri}dtt to the best uxM») ior >x»ur component-no need to go
through long code lists!
There are four methods you can use to program your remote
control to operate yourcomponeius:
• Brand Code Search and Hmry
• Direct Code Entry
• Manual Code Search and Entry
• Auto Code Search and Entr>'
Most components can be programmed in one of these four
ways. Try them in the order listed.
In order to control combo TVA^CR or TV/DVD units, you
must program both the TV key and the DVD*VCR key. Once
programmed successfully, the TV key controls the TV ilmetions
on your unit, and the OVD'VCR key controls the DVD or
VCR functions. There is a specific section in the Code Lists
for combo units. The codes in this section should be tried first,
using Direct Code Entry on the TV and DVD-VCR keys. If this
IS uusuccessriiL follow the normal programming methods tor
both the TV and the DVT>VCR keys.
DVD*VCR Key
Important: Tlie DVD'VCR key defaults to program a DVD
player. Tf’you want the D\T)*VCR key to control a VCR, you
must preprogram the DVD»VCR key. See the section entitled
“Programming the DVD-VCR Key To Control a VCR" on
page 3.
DVR-AUX Key
Important: The DVTl*AUX key defaults to program a DVR.
If you w'ant the DVR-AUX key to control a component
uiliei titan a DVR (an additional TV^ or DVD. for example),
you inu.st preprogram the DVR-AUX key. See tlie section
entitled "Programming the DVR*AUX Key To Control Other
Components” on page 4.
Brand Code Search and Entry

by searching througli only the Code Lists for that specificmanufacturer. Brand Code Search and Entr>' can be the
quickest method to program your remote, if your component is
one of those brands listed.

Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality
Different remote control codes can provide different levels
of funciionalit>-. To confirm that the component key is
programmed with the correct code for maximum fimoionality,
follow the steps below.
1. Attempt to control a variety of the component’s functions
wnfh the remote. If some features of your components do
not work, go to step 2 to try a different code.
2. Repeat the Brand Code Search and Entry Method from

has been stored controls die majority of the component’s
functions, programming is complete. If the code stored docs
nor give maximum functionality, try another code.
5. Repeat the Brand Code Search and Entry Method from
.step 1. Each time a code turns the component on or off you
have found a code that operatc.s the component and needs
to be tested for maximum iunctional:ty. Continue through
the code lists, cycling throujdi the codes you have already
tried, until you find one that ofTers rraximum functionality.
