Programming the Remote
The universal remote can be programmed to control most brands of
remote controllable TVs, VCRs, satellite receivers and cable boxes.
The remote is already programmed to control most RCA, PROSCAN,
and GE TVs, VCRs, DVD players and satellite receivers.
Testing the remote
To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed,
turn a device ON, such as a VCR, point the remote at the VCR, and
press the VCR1 button. Then press POWER or CH ^ (channel up) or
CH v (channel down) to see if the VCR responds to the remote
commands. If not, the remote needs to be programmed.
Programming the remote
There are two ways to program the remote control: automatic code
search and direct entry.
Using Automatic Code Search
The following instructions can be used to program the remote to
operate each of the components connected to your DVD Player. If
you want to exit the automatic code search without programming any
of your components, press CLEAR until the red light on the remote
turns off.
1. Turn on the component you want to operate (VCR, TV, etc.)
2. Press and hold the button you want to program (VCR1, VCR2,
etc.). While holding the component button, press and hold
ON•OFF until the red 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 red 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.
If the component you want to control does turn off:
1. Press and release REVERSE, then wait 2 seconds. Repeat this
step until the device turns back ON.
2. To finish, press and hold STOP until the red light on the remote
turns off.
You’ll use these buttons when you
program the remote to operate a
component.
The remote may not operate all models
of all brands.
