Before using the product, you will need to install batteries
and also perform some programming to operate the
specific home entertainment devices you wish to control.
Installing Batteries
1. On the back of the remote control, push the tab and lift
off the battery cover.
2. Insert two (2) AA batteries (not included). Match the +

cover is locked.
4. Test the remote control by pressing any mode key (e.g.,
TV). If the batteries are inserted correctly, the LED (red
light) will blink once.
NOTE: When batteries need replacement, the remote
control will cease to operate. Replace the batteries
and the unit will be restored to its full functionality,
complete with your favorite settings.
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.

Using Learning
The RCRP05B Cable Replacement Remote includes a
Learning feature so you can add functions that are unique
to your home entertainment devices (e.g., VCR tracking up
or down).
Learning Precautions
• Your original remote controls must be in working order
for learning to work properly.
• Learned keys are mode-specific, so each one can store a
unique function for each mode.
• Do not use the following keys for learning: device keys,
SETUP, (Record), Macro keys.
• Learning capacity is up to a total of 50 keys, depending
on the code being learned.
• Certain device functions are not learnable including
multi-frequency types, some high frequency ones, and
other unusual formats.
• For optimum learning, avoid high levels of ambient light
such as natural sunlight or energy-efficient fluorescent
lights.
NOTE: Please have your original remote controls handy
before programming learning.
Programming a Learned Key
NOTE: If more than 15 seconds pass between key
presses, the remote exits programming.
1. Press and hold SETUP until the last-selected mode key
blinks twice, then press 9 7 5.
NOTE: If the LED displays one long flash instead,
either your batteries are low, or the RCRP05B Cable
Replacement Remote has a memory fault.
2. Press a mode key once (i.e., DVD/VCR, DVR/AUX, AUD,
TV, or CBL/SAT) to assign a mode for learning.
3. Press the desired key on the RCRP05B once to store the
feature to be learned.
4. Place the RCRP05B Remote Control head-to-head (about
2" apart) from your original remote control. Also locate
the key (on your original remote control) that you want
the RCRP05B Cable Replacement Remote to learn.
2"
5. On the original remote, press and hold the key to be
learned. The device key's LED will blink rapidly, then turn
off. Continue holding the key on the original remote
until the device key LED blinks twice.
NOTE: If the LED displays one long blink, a learning
error has occurred. Try repeating this step again until
a successful capture occurs. If the function is still not
captured, press and hold SETUP to exit programming and
review the "Learning Precautions" earlier in this section. If
needed, also see "Troubleshooting" later in this manual.
After review, start programming again at step 1.
