Chapter 2 2
Using the Remote Control
Programming the remote to Operate Other
Devices
The universal remote can be programmed to operate many brands of remote-controllable VCRs,
audio devices, DVD players, cable boxes, satellite receivers and other devices. In addition to being
programmed to operate your television, it’s already programmed to operate some RCA devices.
A second and third RCA TV can be programmed to any device button, except the TV button.
Notes: The TV button can’t be programmed on this remote to control any device; it
controls only this TV.
The remote may not be compatible with all models of all brands of devices. It also may not
operate all functions of your device.
Find Out If You need to Program the remote
To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed to operate one of the
devices connected to your TV, such as a VCR, do the following:
1. Turn on the device (in this example, a VCR).
2. Point the remote at the device.
3. Press the corresponding device button (in this example, SAT•AUX).
4. Press ON•OFF to see if the VCR responds. If the VCR doesn’t respond, you need to program
the remote to operate it.

Programming the remote
There are three ways to program the remote control to operate other devices: Direct Entry, Manual
Code Search, and Automatic Code Search. If you have recently purchased the device you want to
control or if the device has many codes, you might want to try the manual code search first.
Using Direct Entry
1. Turn on the device you want to control.
2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the device in the code list at the end of this
section.
3. On your remote control, simultaneously press and hold the ON•OFF and MUTE buttons
(approximately 3 seconds) until a device button remains lit. Then release the buttons.
4. Press and release the device button (SAT•AUX, DVD) you want to program.
5. Enter a three digit code from the code list.
6. To test the code you’ve programmed for that device button, point the remote at the device and
then press ON•OFF to see if the device responds to the remote control.
If the device turns off, you’ve entered the correct programming code for your device. Circle
the code you entered for future reference.
If the device doesn’t turn off, repeat these steps until you’ve tested all codes for your device’s
brand or try to run a manual code search.
