Universal Remote
The universal remote can be programmed to operate most brands of
remote controllable VCRs, satellite receivers and cable boxes. The remote
is already programmed to control most RCA, Proscan, and GE VCRs and
satellite receivers.
The AUX button can be programmed to operate a cable box, most RCA,
GE and Proscan audio components, a laserdisc player, or a VCR.
Note:
The TV and DVD buttons cannot be programmed.
Test the Remote
To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed,
turn a component ON, such as a VCR. Point the remote at the VCR, and
press the VCR1 button. Then press ON•OFF or CH + (channel up) or
CH –(channel down) to see if the VCR responds to the remote
commands. If the component does not respond, the remote needs to be
programmed.
Program the Remote
There are two ways to program the remote control:
•
automatic code search
•
direct entry
Automatic Code Search
The following instructions can be used to program the remote to operate
each of the components connected to your TV/DVD. If you want to exit
the automatic code search without programming any of your
components, press CLEAR until the light on the remote turns off.
1.
Turn on the component you want to operate (VCR, etc.)
2.
Press and hold the component button you want to program (VCR1,
VCR2, etc.). While holding the component button, press and hold
ON•OFF until the light on the remote turns on, then release both
buttons.
3.
Point the remote at the component. Press and release PLAY, then wait
5 seconds or until the light on the remote stops flashing.
At this point the remote is searching for the correct code to program.
If, after 5 seconds, the component you want to operate does not turn
off, press PLAY again to tell the remote to search the next set of
codes.
Continue pressing PLAY until the component turns off or you have
searched through all of the codes. There are 20 total sets of codes. If
the component does not turn off after pressing PLAY 20 times, then
the remote cannot can’t be programmed to operate that component.
