Problem: The remote is not performing commands properly.

• You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing

the corresponding component key (

TV

,

VCR

,

DVD•AUX

,

or

DBS•CABLE

) so the remote knows which component

you want to operate.

• Make sure component is “ready” (e.g., DVD player

has disc loaded; VCR has tape loaded, etc.).

• You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode the

remote is in (for example,

REC

only works in VCR mode).

• If you’re trying to turn on an RCA, GE or PROSCAN

component, press the component key (

TV

,

VCR

,

DVD•AUX

, or

DBS•CABLE

) instead of the

ON•OFF

key.

• If operating a VCR to record, you must press the

REC

key two times.

• If you’re trying to change channels, try pressing the

ENTER

key after entering the channel number as

this is a requirement of certain models and brands.

• There is a possibility that a programmed code may only be

able to control some of your component features (e.g., only
turns a component on and off). Follow the steps provided
for programming the remote (See Programming Sections
on pages 5-7). If the component can be turned on and off,
make sure you press the

CHAN UP/DOWN

key to see if the

component responds. If not, try the next code from the list.

Problem: The VCR won’t record.

• As a safety feature, you must press the

REC

key

twice to begin recording.

• Make sure the tape is properly loaded in the VCR.

• Make sure the tape is not write-protected. If the safety

tab is removed the tape is write-protected and you cannot
record onto that tape.

Problem: The remote will not change channels.

• You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing

the corresponding component key (

TV

,

VCR

,

DVD•AUX

,

or

DBS•CABLE

) so the remote knows which component

you want to operate.

• Press the

ENTER

key after you enter a channel number.

Problem: The component’s menu doesn’t appear on

the TV screen.

• The TV must be tuned to the Video Input that matches the

manner in which you connected the component to the TV.

For example, if you connected your DVD player to your
TV by connecting audio/video cables (usually color-
coded yellow, red, and white) to the TV’s Input 1 jack,
you must tune the TV to its Video Input 1 channel.
Remember, different manufacturers label these jacks
differently. Consult the instruction manual that came
with the TV for more information.

• You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing

the corresponding component key (

TV

,

VCR

,

DVD•AUX

,

or

DBS•CABLE

) so the remote knows which component

you want to operate.

• Menu access isn’t supported for all brands. If that’s

the case, you’ll need to use your original remote control
to access menu functions for these components.
