Programming the Remote
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). 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.
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,
and Auto Code Search and Entry. Most components can be
programmed in one of these four ways. Try them in the
order listed.
TIP:
The three-component universal remote is already
programmed to operate most RCA, GE and PROSCAN branded
TVs, DVD players and satellite receivers.
In order to control combo TV/VCR or TV/DVD units, you must
program both the
TV
key and the
VCR•DVD
key. Once
programmed successfully, the
TV
key controls the TV functions
on your unit, and the
VCR•DVD
key controls the VCR or DVD
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
VCR•DVD
keys. If this is
unsuccessful, follow the normal programming methods for both
the
TV
and the
VCR•DVD
keys.
Programming Methods
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 Code Lists for that specific
manufacturer. Brand Code Search and Entry can be the quickest
method to program your remote, if your component (TV, VCR
and/or DVD, satellite receiver and/or cable box) is one of those
brands listed.
If your brand is not listed in the Brand Code List, use one of the
other programming methods: Direct Code Entry, Manual Code
Search and Entry or Auto Code Search and Entry.
Follow these instructions to program your remote using
the Brand Code Search and Entry method.
