Programming Device Control

Before you can start using this remote, you must program it
to control your components.
NOTES:
The RCRP05B Cable Replacement Remote is preprogrammed

to operate an RCA TV, a Toshiba DVD player, an RCA VCR,

a Pioneer audio receiver, and a Motorola cable box. If you

own these brands of these devices, test the remote with

them. If they work, you do not have to program the remote

to operate them.
For control of a Combo device (for example, a TV/VCR

combo), skip this section and perform the instructions

in the “Setting Up a Combo Unit” section. Also refer

to the “Device Table” to find out which devices can be
programmed onto each device key.

1. Turn on a device and, if applicable, insert video media,

(e.g., cassette or disc).

NOTE: Please read steps 2 through 5 completely before
proceeding. Highlight or write down the codes and
device you wish to program before moving on to

step 2

.

2. On the remote control, press a device key once (i.e., DVD/

VCR, DVR/AUX, AUD, TV, or CBL/SAT); it will blink once.

3. Press and hold SETUP until the selected mode key blinks

twice, then release SETUP.

4. Use the codes in the accompanying code list to locate

the type of device and brand name and then enter

the first four-digit code for your device. If performed

correctly, the selected mode key will blink twice.

NOTE: If the selected mode key emits a long blink,
the entry is invalid. Repeat steps 2 through 4 and try
entering the same code again.

5. Aim the remote control at the device and press POWER

once. The device should turn off. If it does not, repeat

steps 2 through 4, trying each code for your brand until

you find one that works. If it still does not respond,

try searching for the code (see the “Searching for Your

Code” section).

NOTE: If the device does not have a POWER key (e.g.,
DVD and VCR), press the
(Play) key.

6. Once you’ve found a code that turns your device on and

off, test other remote commands for that device (e.g.,

volume, channel, menu, etc.).

NOTE: By default, the CH+/- keys change channels on

the CBL/SAT device regardless of what mode you’re in.

So, you should only use these keys to test for CBL/SAT

device codes at this point.

7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 for each device you want the

remote control to operate. For future reference, write

down each working device code in the boxes below.

DVD/VCR Code:

DVR/AUX Code:

AUD Code:

CBL/SAT Code:

TV Code:

Setting Up a Combo Unit

If you own a combo unit such as a TV/VCR Combo or a TV/
DVD Combo, you need to follow special steps to set it up.
Perform the following instructions to control combo device:
1. For a TV/VCR Combo, turn on your TV/VCR Combo and

insert a video cassette. (For a TV/ DVD Combo, insert a

DVD).

2. On the remote control, press DVD/VCR once; it will blink

once. Then press and hold SETUP until the DVD/VCR key

blinks twice.

3. Use the codes in the accompanying code list to locate the

brand name and enter the first four-digit code for your

combo device (for example, TV/VCR). If you perform this

procedure correctly, the DVD/VCR key will blink twice.

NOTE: If the DVD/VCR key did not blink twice after

entering the codes last digit, repeat steps 2 and 3 and

try entering the same code again. If you’ve located

a setup code that works for your combo device (for

example, a TV/VCR Combo) and a separate TV code

is also listed, you’ll need to program this code into

the remote control to access volume control (see the
“Programming Device Control” section).

4. Aim the remote control at your combo device (for

example, TV/VCR Combo) and press POWER once. The

device should turn off. If it does not respond, repeat

steps 2 and 3, trying each code listed for your brand until

you find one that works. If it still does not respond, try

searching for the code (see the “Searching for Your Code”

section).

5. For future reference, write down each working device

code in the boxes below:

TV/VCR or TV/DVD Code:

TV Code (if used):

Searching For Your Code

If your home entertainment device does not respond to the
RCRP05B Cable Replacement Remote after trying all of the
codes listed for your brand, or if your brand is not listed at
all, try searching for your code.
For example, to search for a code for your TV:
1. Turn on your TV.
2. On the remote control, press TV once; it will blink once.

Then press and hold SETUP until the TV key blinks twice.

3. Enter 9 9 1. The TV key will blink twice.
4. Aim the remote control at the TV and press POWER once.
5. Press and release the CH+ key continuously, then stop

when the TV turns off.

NOTE: In the search mode, the remote control will send

IR codes from its library to the selected device, starting
with the most popular code first.

6. Press POWER. The TV should turn on, then press SETUP

once to lock in the code. The LED will blink twice to

indicate that the code is saved.

NOTE: If the TV does not turn on during step 6, then

slowly press and release CH- to go back through the
codes, then press SETUP when the TV turns on.

7. Test other remote commands for the TV (e.g., volume,

menu, etc.). If the commands you want to use with your

TV work, you’ve finished programming for your TV. If

they don’t, repeat steps 1-4 above. In step 5, don’t stop

when your TV turns off the first time—keep pressing

CH+ until it turns off again.

NOTE: By default, the CH+/- keys change channels on

the CBL/SAT device regardless of what mode you’re in.

So, you should only use these keys to test for CBL/SAT

device codes at this point.

8. To search for the codes of your other devices, repeat steps

1 through 7, but substitute the appropriate key (e.g.,

DVD/VCR, DVR/AUX, AUD, or CBL/SAT) for the device

you’re searching for.

Checking the Codes

If you have set up your remote control by searching for your
device code, you may need to find out which four-digit code
is operating your equipment.
For example, to find out which code is operating your TV:
1. On the remote control, press TV once; it will blink once.

Then press and hold SETUP until the TV key blinks twice.

2. Enter 9 9 0. The TV key will blink twice.
3. To view the code for the first digit, press 1 once. Count

the number of times the TV key blinks (e.g., 3 blinks = 3)

and write down the number in the left-most TV Code box

in the “Programming Device Control” section.

NOTE: If a code digit is 0, the selected mode key will
not blink.

4. Repeat step 3 three more times for the remaining digits.

Use 2 for the second digit, 3 for the third digit, and 4 for

the fourth digit. Finish writing down the code in the TV

Code boxes.

5. To check for other device codes, repeat steps 1 through 4,

but substitute the appropriate key (e.g., DVD/VCR, DVR/

AUX, AUD, or CBL/SAT) for the device you are checking.

Write down the codes in the appropriate boxes in the

“Programming Device Control” section.

Using Learning

The RCRP05B Cable Replacement Remote includes a
