Troubleshooting

Problem: The remote does not operate your
component.
• You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing the
corresponding component key (TV, VCR•DVD, SAT•CBL) so
the remote knows which component you want to operate.
• Remove any obstacles between the remote and the component
Make sure to aim the remote at the IR sensor on the component.
• Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed. (See
Battery Installation on page 1.) Replace the batteries with two
new AA batteries, if necessary. Reprogramming may be required.
• Reset the remote. Remove the batteries, then press and hold
the number 1 key on the remote for several seconds to reset the
microprocessor inside the remote. Release the number 1 key,
reinstall the batteries, and press the ON•OFF key. If it lights up,
reprogram the remote and try again. If it doesn’t light up, replace
the batteries with new ones.
Problem: The remote can’t be programmed to operate
your component.
• If you are testing the remote after you have entered the code, you
may be too far away from the component or at a wrong angle.
This remote uses IR (infrared) technology to communicate with
components. The remote sends the code, and the component’s
IR sensor reads the code. Therefore, there must be an
unobstructed path between the remote and the IR sensor on the
component. Move closer and make sure you point the remote
at the component (VCR or DVD player when programming the
VCR•DVD key; TV when programming the TV key; cable box or
satellite receiver when you’re programming the SAT•CBL key).
• If you’ve used the Direct Entry programming methods to enter
the codes for your brand and the unit is still not functioning
properly, try one of the Code Search methods. (See Code Search
Methods on pages 2, 3 and 4.)
• To control combo TV/VCR or TV/DVD units, you must
program both the TV key and the VCR•DVD key. Once
programmed successfully, the TV key controls the TV functions
on your unit, and the VCR•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•DVD keys. If this is
unsuccessful, follow the normal programming methods for both
the TV and the VCR•DVD keys.
• Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed.
Problem: The remote doesn’t perform commands
properly.
• You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing the
corresponding component key (TV, VCR•DVD, SAT•CBL) so
the remote knows which component you want to operate.
• Make sure component is “ready” (e.g., DVD player has disc
loaded; VCR has tape loaded, etc.).
• You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode the remote is in.
• If you’re trying to turn on an RCA, GE or PROSCAN branded
component, press the component key (TV, VCR•DVD,
SAT•CBL) instead of the ON•OFF key.
• If you’re trying to change channels, try pressing the OK key after
entering the channel number, as this is a requirement of certain
models and brands.
• There is a possibility that a programmed code may only be able
to control some of your component features (e.g., only turns a
component on and off). See “Testing the Code for Maximum
Functionality” (page 4) for more information.
Problem: The illuminated ON•OFF key doesn’t light
when you press a key.
• You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing the
corresponding component key (TV, VCR•DVD, SAT•CBL) so
the remote knows which component you want to operate.
• You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode the remote is in.
• Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed. (See
Battery Installation on page 1.) Replace the batteries with two
new AA batteries, if necessary. Reprogramming may be required.
Problem: The VCR won’t record.
• Make sure the remote is in VCR Mode.
• Make sure the tape is properly loaded in the VCR.
• Make sure the tape is not write-protected. If the safety tab is
removed, the tape is write-protected, and you cannot record onto
that tape.
Problem: The remote will not change channels on
component.
• You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing the
corresponding component key (TV, VCR•DVD, SAT•CBL) so
the remote knows which component you want to operate.
• Press the OK key after you enter a channel number.
• Remove any obstacles between the remote and the component.
Make sure to aim the remote at the IR sensor on the component.
Problem: The component’s menu does not appear on
the TV screen.
• Make sure you have connected your component to your TV
properly and selected the correct Input. (See your components’
Owner’s Manuals for proper connection procedures.)
• You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing the
corresponding component key (TV, VCR•DVD, SAT•CBL) so
the remote knows which component you want to operate.
• Menu access isn’t supported for all brands. If that’s the case,
you’ll need to use your original remote control to access menu
functions for these components.
