RCR451 Universal Remote Control Owner's Manual Manual del Propietario (parte posterior) 4-Component Universal Remote Congratulations on your purchase of this fourcomponent universal remote. Your 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 infrared, remote-controlled components manufactured after 1990. (See the enclosed Code Lists for a complete list of brands.) And, not only is your remote easy to program, it's easy to operate, too. We've specially designed this remote with big buttons to give you total control...at the touch of your fingertips. 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. R emove 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. Tip: The four-component universal remote is already programmed to operate most RCA, GE and PROSCAN branded TVs, DVD players and satellite receivers. Just press the corresponding key-VCR for a VCR player; DVD for a DVD player; TV for a television; SAT·CBL for a satellite receiver or a cable box. LED Indicator Light Component Keys (TV, VCR, DVD, SAT·CBL) Dedicated MENU Key for DVD disc menus, satellite receivers and some TVs. Transport Keys- REVERSE, PLAY, FORWARD, RECORD, STOP and PAUSE Keys INPUT Key- On some remotes, this is called the TV/VCR key. It toggles through all the video sources connected to your TV. CH and VOL keys have dual functions. They act as navigation keys (up, down, right, left arrow keys) in menu systems. Actual model may vary from picture shown Note: Reprogramming may be required after batteries are replaced. 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 batteries should your remote get stuck in a place where the keys remain depressed, such as between sofa cushions. Programming the 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). 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. There are two methods you can use to program your remote control to operate your components: Direct Code Entry and Manual Code Search and Entry. Most components can be programmed in one of these ways. Try them in the order listed. In order to control combo TV/VCR or TV/DVD units, you must program both the TV key and the VCR or DVD key. Once programmed successfully, the TV key controls the TV functions on your unit, and the VCR or DVD key controls the VCR or DVD functions. There is a specific section in the Code Lists for combo units. The codes in this section should be tried first, using Direct Code Entry on the TV and VCR or DVD keys. If this is unsuccessful, follow the normal programming methods for both the TV and the VCR or DVD keys.
