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, VCR).

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 fi rst.

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•CABLE, VCR, DVD, AUX or AUDIO)

you want to program.

5. Enter a three digit code from the code list.
