Troubleshooting
Problem: The remote does not operate your component.
• You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing the
corresponding component key (TV, SAT•CBL, DVD•VCR,
DVR•AUX) so the remote knows which component you want to
operate.
• Remove any obstacles between the remote and the component.
Make sure to aim the remote at the IR sensor on the component.
• Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed. (See
Battery Installation on page 1.) Replace the batteries with two new
AAA batteries, if necessary. Reprogramming may be required.
• Reset the remote. Remove the batteries, then press and hold
the number 1 key on the remote for several seconds to reset the
microprocessor inside the remote. Release the number 1 key,
reinstall the batteries, and press the POWER key. If the LED lights
up, reprogram the remote and try again. If the LED doesn’t light
up, replace the batteries with new ones.
Problem: The remote can’t be programmed to operate
your component.
• If you are testing the remote after you have entered the code, you may
be too far away from the component or at a wrong angle. This remote
uses IR (infrared) technology to communicate with components. The
remote sends the code, and the component’s IR sensor reads the code.
Therefore, there must be an unobstructed path between the remote
and the IR sensor on the component. Move closer and make sure
you point the remote at the component (DVD player or VCR when
programming the DVD•VCR key; TV when programming the TV
key; satellite or cable box when programming the SAT•CBL key, DVR
or auxiliary component when programming the DVR•AUX key).
• If you’ve used the Direct Entry programming methods to enter the
codes for your brand and the unit is still not functioning properly,
try one of the Code Search methods. (See pages 3–5.)
• To control combo units, like TV/VCRs or TV/DVDs, you must
program the individual corresponding component keys to control
each part of the combo unit. Once programmed successfully,
the TV key controls the TV functions, and the DVD•VCR 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 DVD•VCR
keys. If this is unsuccessful, follow the normal programming
methods for both the TV and the DVD•VCR keys.
• Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed.
Problem: The remote doesn’t perform commands properly.
• You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing the
corresponding component key (TV, SAT•CBL, DVD•VCR,
DVR•AUX) so the remote knows which component you want to
operate.
• Make sure component is “ready” (e.g., DVD player has disc
loaded; VCR has tape loaded, etc.).
• You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode the remote is in.
• If you’re trying to turn on an RCA, GE, or PROSCAN
component, press the component key (TV, SAT•CBL, DVD•VCR,
DVR•AUX) instead of the POWER key.
• If you’re trying to enter a channel number directly, try pressing
the ENTER key after entering the channel number as this is a
requirement of certain models and brands.
• There is a possibility that a programmed code may only be able
to control some of your component features (e.g., only turns a
component on and off). To confirm that the component key is
programmed with the correct code for maximum functionality, test
the component. Attempt to control a variety of the component’s
functions with the remote. If some of the features of your
components do not work, try programming the remote with a
different code in the list using the Direct Code Entry Method,
until you find the code that allows the remote to control the
majority of your component’s functions. Different codes can
provide different levels of functionality.
Problem: The LED does not light when you press a key.
• You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode the remote
is in. You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing
the corresponding component key (TV, SAT•CBL, DVD•VCR,
DVR•AUX) so the remote knows which component you want to
operate.
• Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed. (See
Battery Installation on page 1.) Replace the batteries with two new
AAA batteries, if necessary. Reprogramming may be required.
Problem: The VCR won’t record.
• Make sure the remote is in DVD•VCR Mode.
• Make sure the tape is properly loaded in the VCR.
• Make sure the tape is not write-protected. If the safety tab is
removed the tape is write-protected, and you cannot record onto
that tape.
Problem: The remote will not change channels on
component.
• You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing the
corresponding component key (TV, SAT•CBL, DVD•VCR,
DVR•AUX) so the remote knows which component you want to
operate.
• Press the ENTER key after you enter a channel number.
• Remove any obstacles between the remote and the component.
Make sure to aim the remote at the IR sensor on the component.
Problem: The component’s menu does not appear on the
TV screen.
• Make sure you have connected your component to your TV
properly and selected the correct input. (See your components’
Owner’s Manuals for proper connection procedures.)
• You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing the
corresponding component key (TV, SAT•CBL, DVD•VCR,
DVR•AUX) so the remote knows which component you want to
operate.
• Menu access isn’t supported for all brands. If that’s the case, you’ll
need to use your original remote control to access menu functions
for these components.
