Programming the Remote to Operate Other
Components
The universal remote can be programmed to operate most
brands of remote controllable components. The remote is
already programmed to operate most RCA, GE, and Proscan
components.
Also, the AUX button can be programmed to operate most
brands of an additional remote-controllable component.
Notes: The TV button can't be programmed on this remote.
The remote may not be compatible with all brands and models of
components. It also may not operate all functions of the remote that
came with your component.
Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote
To determine whether the universal remote needs to be
programmed for your component, turn the component ON.
For example, to program the remote for a VCR, turn on the
VCR. Point the remote at the VCR, and press the VCR button.
Then press ON•OFF or CH + (channel up) or CH – (channel
down) to see if the VCR responds to the remote commands. If
the component does not respond, the remote needs to be
programmed.
Programming the Remote
There are two ways to program the remote control:
• automatic code search
• direct entry
