Manual Code Search And Entry - RCA RCR430S Manual

Programming Methods (continued)
2. Locate the enclosed Code Lists. Find the list for the
component you wish to program. Find your component's
brand. You will see a listing of four-digit codes for each
brand. If your brand isn't listed, use one of the Code Search
methods to program the remote control. (Refer to pages 6
and 7 for Manual and Auto Code Search methods.)
3. Press and hold the component key (TV, DVD•VCR, AUX,
SAT•CBL) you wish to program. The LED INDICATOR
turns on and remains on. If you release the component key
at any time during the Direct Code Entry procedure, the
LED INDICATOR blinks four times, and the process
is exited.
4. While holding down the component key, consult the Code
Lists for the four-digit code that corresponds to your
component's brand and use the number keys (0-9) on the
keypad to enter it. While you are pressing the numbers, the
LED INDICATOR turns off.
5. After the fourth number is entered, the LED INDICATOR
turns on. At this time, release the component key. If the LED
INDICATOR turns off, you have entered a valid code and
have followed the correct procedure for Direct Code Entry.
If you enter a code number that is not in the Code Lists or
you do not follow all of the steps for Direct Code Entry, the
LED INDICATOR blinks four times when the component
key is released. This is an indication that a programming
error has occurred. In that case, repeat the Direct Code
Entry process from step 3.
Throughout the programming of each key, be sure to
! TIP:
keep the remote pointed at the IR sensor of the component you
are currently programming the remote to control.
6. To confirm that the component key is programmed with the
correct code for maximum functionality, test the component.
Attempt to control a variety of the component's functions
with the remote. If some of the features of your components
do not work, try programming the remote with a different
code in the list until you find the code that allows the
remote to control the majority of your component's
functions. Different codes can provide different levels of
functionality.
7. Remember to enter the code for future reference in the box
provided in the Code Retrieval section of this manual.

Manual Code Search and Entry

If your component's brand isn't listed in the Code Lists, or if
you have tried all of the codes for your brand and the remote
does not operate your component, try one of the Code Search
methods below—Manual Code Search or Auto Code Search.
Both Code Search methods cycle through all of the codes in the
Code Lists in the event that your component's code is listed
under another brand.
The Manual and Auto Code Search methods may take a long
time because the remote searches through all of the codes in its
memory for the code that operates your component. Therefore,
if your brand is listed in the Brand Codes or the Code Lists,
first try the Brand Code Search or the Direct Code Entry
methods described on pages 4 and 5.
To exit without saving at any point in the Manual Code
! TIP:
Search, press and release the GO BACK key.
1. Manually turn on the component you want the remote
to control.
If you press an invalid key during the Manual Code
Note:
Search, the remote does not respond and the search times
out after two minutes. When the search times out, the
LED INDICATOR blinks four times and turns off. The last
programmed code under that component key is retained.

2. If you are programming the remote to control your TV,
satellite receiver or cable box, go directly to step 4.
3. To program the remote to control a VCR or DVD. The
DVD•VCR key can control only one component, either
your VCR or your DVD. To program your remote to control
either your DVD or your VCR, you must first put the
remote in the proper programming mode. Follow these
directions before proceeding to step 4.
a. Press and hold the DVD•VCR key. The LED
INDICATOR turns on.
b. While holding down the DVD•VCR key, press and
release the number 2 key on the keypad to control
a VCR or the number 3 key to control a DVD. The
LED INDICATOR turns off.
c. Release the DVD•VCR key. The LED INDICATOR
blinks four times and then turns off. Your remote
is now either in VCR or DVD Programming Mode,
depending on which you chose. Proceed to step 4.
4. Press and hold the component key (TV, DVD•VCR, AUX,
SAT•CBL) you wish to program. The LED INDICATOR
turns on and remains on.
5. While holding the component key down, press and hold the
ON•OFF key. The LED INDICATOR turns off.
6. After holding down both keys for three seconds, the LED
INDICATOR turns back on.
7. Release both keys. The LED INDICATOR remains on.
! Throughout the programming of each key, be sure to
TIP:
keep the remote pointed at the IR sensor of the component you
are currently programming the remote to control.
8. Press and release the ON•OFF key repeatedly, waiting 4
seconds between each key press, until your component
turns off. Each time you press the ON•OFF key, the LED
INDICATOR blinks, and the next code is sent. This process
continues until all of the codes in the Code Lists have been
searched. If your component turns off, you have found the
correct code. (If it cycles through and the LED INDICATOR
blinks four times and turns off, all codes have been
searched. The Manual Code Search method is exited.)
9. Once your component turns off, you have found the correct
code. You must save the new code by pressing and releasing
the STOP key. The LED INDICATOR turns off. You must
press the STOP key to save the code or the correct code will
not be stored!
Testing the Code for
Maximum-Functionality
To confirm that the component key is programmed with the
correct code for maximum functionality, it is necessary to test
the component. If some of the features of your component
do not work, different codes in the list can be tried until you
find the code that allows the remote to control the majority of
your component's functions. Different codes can provide
different levels of functionality. Follow these steps to test for
maximum functionality.
1. Once the code has been stored use the remote to attempt to
control a variety of the component's functions. If the code
that has been stored controls the majority of the component's
functions, programming is complete. If the code stored does
not give maximum functionality, you will want to try
another code.
2. In that case, repeat the Manual Code Search and Entry
Method from step 1. When the component turns off for the
first time, do not press the STOP key, which would store the
code. Instead, wait 4 seconds, with the unit now off, continue
to press the ON•OFF key repeatedly until the unit turns back
on. Once the unit turns back on, you have found another
code that operates the component. Press the STOP key.
3. Test the functionality again by attempting to control a variety
of the component's functions. If the code that has been
