Explanation of Buttons
You can use this remote to operate the DVD recorder, and to access the features available. The
remote is also designed to operate most RCA, GE, and Proscan components (TVs and satellite
receivers). If you have another brand, you can program the remote control to operate those
components (go to page 22 for instructions).
The descriptions that follow describe how each button works when operating the DVD recorder.
Many buttons will perform different functions depending upon the type of disc and menu functions of
the disc.
Indicator light Used to indicate status of remote control when programming it to operate other
components. Also, indicates when batteries are low by flickering when you press a button on the
remote.

track numbers, to make selections on some menu screens, and/or to change channels.
Arrow buttons (up, down, left, right) Use the arrow buttons to highlight options that appear
on the screen (the arrow buttons move the highlight in the corresponding directions — up arrow
moves the highlight up; left arrow moves the highlight left, etc.).
