The Remote Control Doesn't Work; Problems With V-Chip/Parental Controls - RCA Scenium User Manual

The Remote Control Doesn't Work

• Something might be between the remote and the remote sensor on the component. Make sure there is a clear
path.
• Maybe the remote isn't aimed directly at the component (TV or VCR) that you're trying to operate.
• Maybe remote is not in TV Mode. Press the TV button so the remote controls the TV.
• Maybe batteries in remote are weak, dead, or installed incorrectly. If batteries are weak, you will not be able to
activate backlighting on the remote; instead, backlight will blink once when activated. Put new batteries in the
remote. (Note, if you remove the batteries, you may have to reprogram the remote to operate other
components.)
• You might need to reset the remote: remove batteries and press the number 1 button for at least 60 seconds.
Release the 1 button, replace the batteries, and (if necessary) program the remote again.
• When using the Learning feature, do the learning process in low light areas to prevent natural light and
fluorescent light interfering with the infrared signals.
• For Volume Punchthrough, remember to program the AUDIO button on the TV's remote control to operate
your audio receiver or amplifier. Go to page 34 for instructions. If you can't program this remote to operate
your audio receiver, Volume Punchthrough won't work.

Problems with V-Chip/Parental Controls

The rating limits don't work
• You must lock the settings. Go to the MAIN MENU (press MENU on your remote), select Parental Controls
(press 5 on your remote), select Lock TV (press 1 on your remote).
I don't remember my password and I want to unlock the TV
• If you forget your password, simultaneously press and hold MENU/OK on the television and VOL down on the
remote for 3 seconds. Nothing appears on the screen, Parental Controls simply unlock and you can re-enter a
password via Lock TV.
The V-Chip won't let me watch a program even though it's not rated as violent.
• Maybe the movie was given an NR (Not Rated) status. After you block movie ratings, you must set V-Chip
Unrated to View separately in order to view movies with an NR rating.
Problems with 1394 Recording
• Make sure the 1394 components are not looped. See page 16.
• If the network speed seems slow, make sure the 1394 component that has the fastest speed is first at point of
connection to TV. Check component manual's for network speed. See page 16 for more information.
• Make sure the program is digital or no recording will take place.
• If a program is not recorded, it could be the 1394 component enforces copy protection standards.
• If you cannot find the program you recorded, channel through the subchannels.
