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.

: This remote is already programmed to operate most RCA-branded 

TVs, DVD players, and satellite receivers. Just press the corresponding 

key—DVD•VCR for a DVD player, TV for a television, SAT•CBL•DTC for a
