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.
Congratulations on your purchase of this 4-device RCA
Universal Remote Control. This remote features a library
of codes with the latest devices of all major brands, with
support for streaming media players as well. The navigation
keys have been redesigned to function seamlessly with the
more sophisticated menu and guide systems found in today’s
home entertainment devices.

SAVE THIS MANUAL AND 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 : This remote is already programmed to operate
most RCA-branded TVs, VCRs, DVD players and satellite
receivers. Just press the corresponding key—DVD•VCR
for a DVD player, TV for a television, SAT•CBL•STRM for a
satellite receiver, DVR•AUX for a DVR.
Your universal remote requires two AAA alkaline batteries
(not included).
To in stal l the ba tter ie s:
1. Press and push the
battery compartment
cover to remove it.
2. Insert the batteries,
matching the batteries
to the (+) and (–) marks
inside the battery
compartment.
3. Push the battery cover
back into place.
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.
To use this universal remote with your home entertainment
system, fi rst you need to program it to control your devices.
There are four ways you can program the universal remote
to operate your devices. Try them in the order listed here:
• The Brand Code Search searches through the codes
for select brands of devices.
• The Direct Code Entry lets you enter a code from the
accompanying code list for your brand of device.
• The Auto Code Search goes automatically through all
the codes for the device you’re trying to control.
• The Manual Code Search lets you manually go
through all the codes for the device you’re trying to
control.
Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality
1. Try a variety of the device’s functions with the remote.
If some device features don’t work, go to the next step
to try a different code.
2. Repeat the Brand Code Search from the beginning.
When the device turns off for the fi rst time, don’t
press the STOP key, which would store the same code.
Instead, with the unit now off, continue to press the
POWER key repeatedly until the unit turns back on.
3. Once the unit turns back on, you have found another
code that operates the device. Press the STOP key.
4. Test the key’s functionality again by attempting to
control a variety of the device’s functions. If the code
that has been stored controls the majority of the
device’s functions, programming is complete. If the
code stored does not give maximum functionality, try
another code.
Brand Code Search
The Brand Code Search goes through only the codes for one
of the select brands listed in the accompanying code list. If
your brand of device is listed, this search can be very quick
and easy.
TIPS: Each device key is associated with a type
of device—the TV is preset to search for TVs,
SAT•CBL•STRM for satellite receivers, cable boxes
or digital TV converters or streaming media players,
DVD•VCR for DVD players, and DVR•AUX for DVRs. To
program a device key for a different type of device, see
the Changing a Key’s Device Type section.
To e xi t w it h ou t s av in g a n e w co de at a n y po i nt i n t he
Brand Code Search, press the CLEAR key.
1. Manually turn on the device you
want to control.
3. Press and hold the device key you want to program.
While you’re holding down the device key, use your
other hand to press and hold the remote’s POWER key
at the same time.
4. Wait until the POWER key comes
on and stays on. Then release
both keys.
6. Keep the remote pointed directly
at the front panel of the device you
want to control. Press POWER on
the remote and wait 2 seconds. The
remote is testing a single code for
your device’s brand.
Did your device turn off?
YES: Press the STOP key to store the code. You’re
done! You’ve programmed this device key.
NO: Press POWER again. The remote tests the next
code for your brand.
Keep pressing POWER every 2 seconds until your
device turns off. When it does, press STOP.
2. Find your device’s brand in the
Brand Code list section of the
accompanying code list. Circle
the number for your brand and
keep the list handy.
