4-Component Universal Remote
Congratulations on your purchase of this four-component universal
remote. This universal remote controls up to four electronic
components and makes juggling remote controls a thing of the past.
And, this unique remote is incredibly easy to use because, once you
press the key for the component you wish to control, only the key
names needed to control that component light up.
You can program your RCA brand universal remote to operate
models of all 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:
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.

Care and Maintenance

• Keep the remote dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
• Use and store the remote only in normal temperature environments.
• Handle the remote gently and carefully. Don't drop it.
• Keep the remote away from dust and dirt.
• Wipe the remote with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new.
• Modifying or tampering with the remote's internal components can
cause malfunction and invalidate its warranty.
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.
The RCR461 uses a NaviLight

each component. For example,
when you are in SAT Mode, only
the words above these keys light
