Six-Component
Universal Remote

Congratulations on your purchase of this six-component
universal remote. This universal remote controls up to six
electronic components and makes juggling remote controls
a thing of the past. Your remote is guaranteed to work with
all brands of components. This remote is unusually versatile
because it has two AUX keys that you can program to control
any video component. The six-component universal remote is
easy to use, easy to program, and gives you control at the touch
of your fingertips.

SAVE THIS MANUAL AN D THE CODE LISTS!

Remote controls can sometimes lose their programming when you
change the batteries. Make sure you keep the manual and code lists in
a safe place so that you can reprogram the remote if you need to.

Tip: The six-component universal remote is already programmed
to operate most RCA, GE, and PROSCAN branded TVs, VCRs,
DVD players, and satellite receivers. Just press the corresponding
key—DVD for a DVD player, TV for a television, SAT•CBL for a
satellite receiver, etc.

Battery Installation and Information

Your universal remote requires two AAA alkaline batteries
(batteries may or may not be included, depending on model).

To install the batteries:

1. Remove the battery compartment
cover.

2. Insert the batteries, matching the
(+) and (–) marks inside the battery
compartment.

Note: If you are replacing batteries, try not to press any keys after
you’ve taken the old batteries out. Pressing keys while replacing
batteries causes the remote to lose the components you’ve programmed.
You will need to program the remote again.

Battery Precautions:

• Do not mix old and new batteries.

• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel­ cadmium) batteries.

• Always remove old, weak or worn-out batteries promptly and recycle or
dispose of them in accordance with Local and National Regulations.

Battery Saver

Your universal remote control saves battery power by
automatically turning off if any key is pressed for more than
60 seconds. This saves your battery life should your remote
get stuck in a place where the keys remain depressed, such as
between sofa cushions.

Care and Maintenance

• 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 gently and carefully. Don’t drop it.

• Keep the remote away from dust and dirt.

• Wipe the remote with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it
looking new.

• Modifying or tampering with the remote’s internal components
can cause malfunction and invalidate its warranty.

3. Push the battery cover back into place.

Programming Your Remote

LED

Your universal remote can operate a variety of brands of
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/codefinder). These codes 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 tell the remote to “speak the
same language” as your components.

The RCA Easy Interactive Code Finder

The online interactive code finder at www.rca.com/codefinder makes it
easier to find exactly the right codes for your components. The code finder
takes you right to the best code(s) for your component—no need to go
through long code lists!

There are four methods you can use to program
your remote control to operate your components:

• Brand Code Search and Entry

• Direct Code Entry

• Manual Code Search and Entry

• Auto Code Search and Entry

Most components can be programmed in one of these four
ways. Try them in the order listed.

In order to control combo TV/VCR or TV/DVD units, you
must program both the TV key and the DVD or VCR•AUX2
key. Once programmed successfully, the TV key controls the
TV functions on your unit, and the DVD or VCR•AUX2 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 or VCR•AUX2 keys. If this is unsuccessful, follow the
normal programming methods for both the TV and the DVD
or VCR•AUX2 keys.

DVR•AUX1 Key

The DVR•AUX1 key defaults to program a DVR. If you want
the DVR•AUX1 key to control a component other than a DVR
(an additional TV or DVD, for example), you must preprogram
the DVR•AUX1 key. See the section entitled “Programming
the DVR•AUX1 and VCR•AUX2 Keys To Control Other
Components” on page 3.

VCR•AUX2 Key

The VCR•AUX2 key defaults to program a VCR. If you want
the VCR•AUX2 key to control a component other than a VCR,
you must preprogram the VCR•AUX2 key. See the section
entitled “Programming the DVR•AUX1 and VCR•AUX2 Keys
To Control Other Components” on page 3.

Brand Code Search and Entry

If your brand is listed in the Brand Code List (See Code
Lists enclosed), you may be able to program your universal
remote by searching through only the codes for that specific
manufacturer. Brand Code Search and Entry 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 methods that follow.

Follow these instructions to program your remote using the
Brand Code Search and Entry method.

TIP: To exit without saving at any point in the Brand
Code Search, press the CLEAR key.

1. Manually turn on the component you want the remote to
control (TV, VCR, DVD, DVR, satellite receiver, cable box,
or audio component).

2. Locate the Brand Codes in the Code Lists and keep it handy.

Note: If you press an invalid key during the Brand Code Search,
the remote does not respond. If you do not press a valid Brand
Code Search key (TV, SAT•CBL, DVD, DVR•AUX1, AUDIO,
VCR•AUX2, POWER, CLEAR, and number keys 0-9), the search
times out after two minutes. When the search times out, the LED
blinks four times and turns off. The last programmed code under that
component key is retained.

Notes:

• To program the DVR•AUX1 key to control a component other
than a DVR, see page 3.

• To program the VCR•AUX2 key to control a component other
than a VCR, see page 3.

3. Press and hold the component key
(TV, SAT•CBL, DVD, DVR•AUX1,
AUDIO, VCR•AUX2) you wish to
program. The LED turns on and
remains on. Keep holding down
the component key.

4. While holding the component key down, press and hold the
POWER key. The LED turns off. After holding both keys
down for three seconds, the LED turns back on.

5. Release both keys. The LED remains on.

6. Refer to the Brand Codes in the enclosed Code Lists. Use
the number keys to enter the number for your brand. The
LED blinks once.

TIP: Throughout the programming of each key, be sure to keep the
remote pointed at the IR sensor of the component you are currently
programming the remote to control.

7. Press the POWER key repeatedly until your component
turns off. Each time you press the POWER key, the LED
blinks and the next code is sent. The Brand Code Search
begins with the first code in the chosen brand list for that
component and cycles through all the codes for that brand.

If your component turns off, you have found the correct

code.

8. Once you have found the correct code, press the
STOP key to save it. The LED turns off.

IMPORTANT: You must press the STOP key to save the code or the
correct code will not be stored!

Note: If the remote cycles through and the LED blinks four times
and turns off, all codes in the chosen brand lists have been searched
and another programming method should be tried. The Brand Code
Search mode is exited.
