Universal Remote
Congratulations on your purchase of this three-component
universal remote. This universal remote controls up to three
electronic components and makes juggling remote controls a
thing of the past. Your remote is guaranteed to work with all
brands of components. The three-component universal remote
is easy to use, easy to program and gives you control at the
touch of your fingertips.
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.
Tip: The three-component universal remote is already programmed to
operate most RCA, GE and PROSCAN branded TVs, VCRs, DVD
players and satellite receivers. Just press the corresponding key—DVD•VCR
for a DVD player, TV for a television, SAT•CBL for a satellite receiver.

Battery Installation and Information
Your universal remote requires two AAA Alkaline batteries
(batteries may or may not be included, depending on model).
To install the batteries:
1. Press and push the battery
compartment cover to remove it..
2. Insert the batteries, matching the
batteries to the (+) and (–) marks
inside the battery compartment.
3. Push the battery cover back into
place.
Note: If you are replacing batteries, try not to press any buttons after
you’ve taken the old batteries out. Pressing buttons while replacing
batteries causes the remote to lose the devices you’ve programmed. You
will need to program the remote again.
Battery Precautions:
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-
cadmium) batteries.
• Always remove old, weak or worn-out batteries promptly and recycle or
dispose of them in accordance with Local and National Regulations.
Battery Saver
Your universal remote control saves battery power by
automatically turning off if any key is pressed for more than
60 seconds. This saves your battery life should your remote
get stuck in a place where the keys remain depressed, such as
between sofa cushions.
The INPUT and — (dash) key has three functions: ()
it toggles through all the video sources connected
to your TV; (2) when the remote is in VCR mode,
this button toggles between VCR and the TV input;
(3) when you’re entering digital channel numbers
directly, this button lets you separate the main
channel number from the subchannel number

Programming Your Remote
Your universal remote can operate a variety of brands of
components. In order for your universal remote to control your
components, you need to program the remote with the codes
that match the components (See Code Lists enclosed or go to
rca.com/codefinder). These codes enable the remote to
communicate with your components. Each brand and each
component has its own “language,” and, by programming the
correct codes into your remote, you tell the remote to “speak the
same language” as your components.
