Chapter 2: The Remote Control
Explanation of Buttons
You can use this remote to operate the DVD/VCR, and to access the features available. The remote
is also designed to operate most RCA, GE, and Proscan components (TVs, VCRs, DVD players, audio
components and satellite receivers). If you have another brand, you can program the remote control to
operate those components (go to page 19 for instructions).
The descriptions that follow describe how each button works when operating the DVD/VCR. Many
buttons will perform different functions depending upon the type of disc and menu functions of the disc.

Use the number buttons to input information such as chapter numbers, track
numbers, to make selections on some menu screens, and/or to change channels.
Arrow buttons (up, down, left, right)
Use the arrow buttons to highlight options that appear on
the screen (the arrow buttons move the highlight in the corresponding directions—up arrow moves the
highlight up; left arrow moves the highlight left, etc.).
