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.

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:

This remote is already programmed to operate

most RCA-branded TVs, VCRs, DVD players and satellite

receivers. Just press the corresponding key—VCR•DVD

for a DVD player, TV for a television, SAT•CBL•DTC for a

satellite receiver.

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.

Push the battery cover back into

place.

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.

To use this universal remote with your home entertainment

system, first you need to program it to control your devices.

There are four ways you can program the universal remote to

operate your devices:

•

The

Auto Code Search

goes automatically through all the

codes for the device you’re trying to control. It’s the easiest

method, but it can sometimes take longer than some of the

other programming methods.

•

The

Brand Code Search

searches through the codes for

select brands of devices. It’s not as easy as the auto code

search, but it can be faster.

•

The

Direct Code Entry

lets you enter a code from the

accompanying code list for your brand of device. It’s not as

easy as the other methods, but it’s potentially the fastest

method.

•

The

Manual Code Search

lets you manually go through

all the codes for the device you’re trying to control.

Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality

1.

Try a variety of the device’s functions with the remote. If

some device features don’t work, go to next step to try a

different code.

2.

Repeat the Auto Code Search Method from the beginning.

When your device turns off, do not stop searching.

Instead, with the unit now off, continue to press the PLAY

key every 5 seconds until the unit turns back on.

3.

Once the unit turns back on, press the REVERSE key on the

remote every 2 seconds until your device turns off again.

When your device turns off again, press the STOP key.

Auto Code Search

The Auto Code Search goes automatically through all the

codes for the device you’re trying to control. When you find

the one that operates your device, you can stop the search and

store that code.

TIPS

:

Each device key is associated with a type of device—

the TV is preset to search for TVs, SAT•CBL•DTC for satellite

receivers, cable boxes or digital TV converters (DTC), and

VCR•DVD for VCRs or DVD players.

To exit without saving a new code at any point in the Auto

Code Search, press the

GO BACK

key.

1.

Manually turn on the device you

want to control.

3.

Press and hold the device key you want to program. While

you’re holding down the device key, use your other hand

to press and hold the remote’s

ON•OFF

key at the same

time.

4.

Wait until the

ON•OFF key

comes on and stays on. Then

release both keys.

5.

Point the remote directly at the

front panel of the device you

want to control. Press PLAY on

the remote and wait 5 seconds.

The remote is testing a batch of

10 codes on your device.

Did your device turn off?

YES:

Go to step

6

.

NO:

Press PLAY again. The remote tests the next batch of

10 codes.

Keep pressing PLAY every 5 seconds until your device turns

off.

6.

When your device turns off, press

the REVERSE key on the remote

and wait at least 2 seconds.

The remote tries the last of the

previous ten codes.

Did your device turn on?

YES:

Press the STOP key. You’re

done! You’ve programmed this

device key.

NO:

Press REVERSE again. The remote tests the next

code in the batch.

Keep pressing REVERSE every 2 seconds until your device

turns back on. When it does, press STOP.

Note:

If you accidentally press the REVERSE key after your

device turns on, press the FORWARD key. Then, wait two

seconds to see if your device turns off again.

NOTES

Throughout the programming of each key, be sure to keep

the remote pointed at the IR sensor of the device you are

currently programming the remote to control.

Test the remote with the device to make sure the

device key is programmed with the correct code for

maximum functionality. If some features don’t work, try

a different code. See the “Testing the Code for Maximum

Functionality” section below for more information.

During the Auto Code Search, the remote ignores

keypresses that aren’t part of the search.

The search times out after two minutes (the ON•OFF key

blinks four times and turns off, and the last programmed

code under that device key is retained).

The ON•OFF key blinks four times and turns off when the

remote has gone through all the codes. The remote exits

the Auto Code Search. If your device hasn’t turned off yet,

try a different search method.

Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality

1.

Try a variety of the device’s functions with the remote. If

some device features don’t work, go to the next step to try

a different code.

2.

Repeat the Brand Code Search from the beginning. When

the device turns off for the first time, don’t press the STOP

key, which would store the same code. Instead, with the

unit now off, continue to press the

ON•OFF

key repeatedly

until the unit turns back on.

3.

Once the unit turns back on, you have found another code

that operates the device. Press the STOP key.

4.

Test the key’s functionality again by attempting to control

a variety of the device’s functions. If the code that has

been stored controls the majority of the device’s functions,

programming is complete. If the code stored does not give

maximum functionality, try another code.

Brand Code Search

The Brand Code Search goes through only the codes for one of

the select brands listed in the accompanying code list. If your

brand of device is listed, this search can be very quick and easy.

TIPS

:

Each device key is associated with a type of device—the

TV is preset to search for TVs, SAT•CBL•DTC for satellite

receivers, cable boxes or digital TV converters (DTC), and

VCR•DVD for VCRs or DVD players.

The ON•OFF key serves as an indicator light during

programming, giving you feedback at each stage of the process.
