Battery Saver
Your universal remote control saves battery power by
aulomaiically turning off if any key is pressed for more than
60 seconds. This saves your battery lire should your remote
gel stuck in a place where the keys remain depressed, such as
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
It your brand i.s listed in the Brand Code List (See Code Li.sts
enclosed), you may be able to program your universal remote
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.
If your brand is not listed in the Brand Code List, use one of
the other programming metliods that follow.
Follow Uiese instructions to program your remote using the
Brand Code Search and Entry method.

• Tfyou are testing die remote after you have entered die code, you
may be too far away riuin the component or at a >^Tong angle.
This remote uses IR (inhared) technology to communicate with
corapoiienis. Ihe remote sends the ctxlc, and the component's
IR sensor reads the code. Tlierefore, there must be an
unobstructed path between the remote and the IR sensor on the
component. Move closer and make sure >'ou point the remote
at the component (DVD player or VCR when programming the
DVI>VC'R ke>'; TV when programming the TV ke>% satellite
or Cid>le box when programming the SAT*CRL key, DVR or
auxiliary component v^en programming the DVR»AUX key).
• If you’ve used the Direct Entry programming mediods
to enter the codes for your brand and the unit is still not
funedoning properly, tr>' one of the Q>dc Search methods.
(Sec pages 3-5.)
• To control combo units, like TV/VCRs or TV.-'DVDs, you
must program die individual corresponding component keys
to control each part of the combo unit. Once programmed
successfully, the TV key controls the TV fimetions, and the
DVD'VCR key controls the VC^ or DVD functions. There
is a specific section m the Code Lists for combo units. Ibe
codes in this section should be tried first using Direct Code
Entry on the TV and DVD*VCR keys. If this i.s unsuccessful,
follow the normal programming mediods for both the 'fV
and the DVD'VCR ke>'s.
• Make sure the batteries are fresh and are propeily installed.
Problem: The remote doesn't perform commands properly.
• You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing the
conesponding component key flV, SAT*CBL, DVD*VCR,
DVR*AUX) so the remote knows which component you want
to operate.
• Make sure component is “ready” (e.g,, DVD player has disc
loaded; VCR has tape loaded, etc.).
• You may have pressed an invalid key for die ftkxIc the remote is in.
• If you’re trying to turn on an RCA, GH, or PROSCAN
component, press the component key (TV, SAT'CBL,
DVD*VCR, DVR*AUX) instead of the POWER key.
• If you’re ir>'ing to enter a channel number directly, tr>'
pressing the ENTER key after entering die diannel number as
this is a requirement of certain modcK and brands.
• ’1Ъеге is a possibility that a programmed code may only
be able to control some of your component features (e.g.,
only turns a component on and off). To confirm that the
component key is programmed with the correct code for
maximum frmctionality, test die component. Attempt to
control a variety of the component’s functions widi the
renrote. If some of the features of your components do not
work, try programming the remote widi a different code in the
list using the Direct Code Entry Method, until you find the
code that allows the remote to control the majority of your
component’s functions. Different codes can provide different
levels of functionality.
Problem: The LED does not light when you press a key.
• You may liave pressed an invalid key for the mode the
remote is in. Y?u must put the remote in the correct mode by
pressing the corresponding component key (TV, SAT*CBL,
DVD*VCR, DVR'AUX) so the remote icnows which
component you want to operate.
• Make sure the bartcric.s are fresh and arc properiy installed.
(See Batter>' In.stallation on page i.) Replace die batteries with
two new AAA batteries, if necessary. Reprogramming may be
required.
Problem: The VCR won't record.
• Make sure the remote is in DVD*VCR Mode.
• Make sure the tape is properly loaded in the VC-R.
• Make sure the tape is not writc-protected. If the safety tab is
removed the tape is write-protected, and you camiot record
onto that tape.
Problem: The remote will not change channels on
component
• You must put die remote in die correct mode by pressing the
corresponding component key (TV, SAT'CBL. DVD*VCR,
DVR*AUX) so the remote knows which component you want
to operate.
• Press die EN TER key al’ier you enter a channel number.
• Remove any obstacles between the remote and the
component Make sure to aim die remcie at the IR sensor on
the component.
Problem: The component's menu does not appear on the
TV screen.
• Make sure you have connected your component to your
TV properiy and selected the correct input. (Sec your
components* Owner’s Manuals for proper connection
prcKcdures.)
• You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing die
corresponding component key fTV, SAT'CBI.. DVD*VCR,
