Congratulations on your purchase of the six-component universal remote by RCA. This universal remote
controls up to six electronic components and makes juggling remote controls a thing of the 
past. You can program this RCA universal remote to operate most models of most brands of infrared,
remote-controlled components manufactured after 1990. (See enclosed Code List for a complete list 
of brands.) The six-component universal remote is easy to use, easy to program and gives you control at
the touch of your fingertips. 

Note:

The six-component universal remote is already programmed to operate most RCA, GE and

PROSCAN branded TVs, VCRs, DVD players and SATELLITE receivers (DBS). Just press the
corresponding component key—

TV, VCR, DVD, DBS•SAT, CABLE, AUDIO

—and your six-

component universal remote is ready to go!

Indicator Light

—flashes when a valid key is pressed to indicate 

the remote is working. Status of this light is important when 
you are programming the remote.
