This universal remote controls up to four electronic components and makes juggling remote controls a thing of the past. You can program your RCA brand universal remote to operate most models of most brands of infrared, remote-controlled components manufactured after 1990. (See the enclosed Code Lists for a complete list of brands.) This remote is unusually versatile because it has a VCR·AUX key that you can program to control any video component. The four-component universal remote is easy to use, easy to program and gives you control at the touch of your fingertips. ! TIP: The four-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 key for a DVD player; TV key for a television; SAT·CBL for a satellite receiver or a cable box; or the VCR·AUX key for a VCR. Battery Installation and Information Your universal remote requires two AA Alkaline batteries (batteries may or may not be included, depending on model). To install the batteries: 1. Remove the battery compartment cover. 2. Insert the batteries, matching the batteries to the (+) and (-) marks inside the battery compartment. 3. Press and push the battery cover back into place. Note: Reprogramming may be required after batteries are replaced. 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 batteries should your remote get stuck in a place where the keys remain depressed, such as between sofa cushions. Backlighting BACKLIGHT Backlight illumination (available on select models only) enables you to see the remote control keys better in the dark. Backlight illumination is toggled on or off with successive keypresses of the BACKLIGHT key. When toggled on, the backlighting remains on as long as keys are being pressed. The backlighting turns off six seconds after the last keypress. Once the backlight time has expired, any keypress will reactivate backlighting. If the backlight illumination is on, and the BACKLIGHT key is pressed, the backlight turns off. Illuminated ON·OFF Key ON•OFF ON•OFF (BLINK) The ON·OFF key powers components on and off. It also lights up to serve as an indicator light, providing feedback for various functions. When a valid key is pressed, the illuminated ON·OFF key remains lit as long as the key is pressed and turns off when the key is released. The ON·OFF key also blinks in Programming Mode or in Menu Mode to provide feedback. 3
