Using the Remote Control
Using Automatic Code Search
1. Turn on the component you want the remote to operate (VCR, etc.).
Note: You cannot use the search feature for AUX or DVD component buttons.
2. Press and hold the component button on the remote control that corresponds to the component you
want the remote to operate (VCR, etc.). While you hold down the component button, press and hold
ON•OFF (when the light on the remote turns on, release both buttons).
3. Press PLAY (the light on the remote, located below the ON•OFF button, starts flashing).
The remote is searching the first set of component codes (there are 20 sets of codes). If the component
you want to operate doesn't turn off automatically after 5 seconds, press PLAY again (the light starts
flashing again as the remote searches through the next set of codes).
Continue pressing PLAY until the component turns off.
Note: If the component doesn't turn off after you've pressed the PLAY button 20 times, the component can't be
programmed.
4. Press REVERSE, wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step until the component turns back on.
5. To finish, press and hold the STOP button until the light on the remote turns off.
Using Direct Entry
1. Turn on the component you want the remote to operate.
Notes: The DVD button is not programmable and operates only most RCA DVD players.
The AUX button is only programmable to operate most RCA audio devices.
2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the component on the code list on pages 9-10.
3. Press and hold the component button that corresponds to the component you want the remote to
operate (VCR, etc.)
4. Enter the code from the code list.
5. Release the component button.
6. Press ON•OFF to see if the component responds to the remote commands. If it doesn't, try pressing the
component button and then ON•OFF again.
7. If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your brand until the component
responds to the remote commands.
How to Use the Remote After You've Programmed It
Once the remote has been programmed successfully, you are ready to use it to control your components. To
operate the component:
1. Press the component button (TV, VCR1, VCR2, DVD, AUX, or SAT•CABLE) to set the remote to operate the
component.
2. Press ON•OFF to turn the component ON or OFF.
3. Use the remote buttons that apply to that component.
Note: If you keep pressing buttons and nothing happens, the remote is probably in the wrong mode. You must
press the component button that matches the component you want to operate (i.e., if you want to operate the
VCR, press VCR1 on the remote control to put the remote in VCR mode.)
