Congratulations on your purchase of this three-component 
universal remote. This universal remote controls up to three 
electronic components and makes juggling remote controls a 
thing of the past. Your remote is guaranteed to work with all 
brands of components. The three-component universal remote 
is easy to use, easy to program and gives you control at the 
touch of your fingertips.

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.

to operate most RCA, GE and PROSCAN branded TVs, VCRs,

Battery Installation and Information

Your universal remote requires two AAA Alkaline batteries 
(batteries may or may not be included, depending on model).

To install the batteries:

1.  Remove the battery compartment 

cover.

2.  Insert the batteries, matching the 

batteries to the (+) and (–) marks 
inside the battery compartment.

3.  Push the battery cover back into place.

Note:

 If you are replacing batteries, try not to press any buttons after 

you’ve taken the old batteries out. Pressing buttons while replacing 
batteries causes the remote to lose the devices you’ve programmed. You 
will need to program the remote again.

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.

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.

The

 INPUT

 and 

— (dash) 

key has three 

functions: () it toggles through all the video 
sources connected to your TV; (2) when the 
remote is in VCR mode, this button toggles 
between VCR and the TV input; (3) when 
you’re entering digital channel numbers 
directly, this button lets you separate the main 
channel number from the subchannel number

Programming Your 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 or go to 
rca.com/codefinder). 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.

model may 
vary from

Care and Maintenance

• Keep the remote dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
• Use and store the remote only in normal temperature 

environments.

• Handle the remote gently and carefully. Don’t drop it.
• Keep the remote away from dust and dirt.
• Wipe the remote with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it 

looking new.

• Modifying or tampering with the remote’s internal components 

can cause malfunction and invalidate its warranty.
