4-Component Universal Remote
Congratulations on your purchase of this four-
component universal remote. Your universal remote
controls up to four electronic components and makes
juggling remote controls a thing of the past. You can
program your RCA brand universal remote to operate
most models of infrared, remote-controlled components
manufactured after 1990. (See the enclosed Code Lists
for a complete list of brands.) And, not only is your
remote easy to program, it's easy to operate, too. We've
specially designed this remote with big buttons to
give you total 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, DVD
players and satellite receivers. Just press the corresponding

Battery Installation and Information

Your universal remote requires two AAA 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.
TV
for
• 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.

Programming the Remote

Your universal remote can operate a variety of brands
of components. In order for your universal remote to
control your components, you need to program the
remote with the codes that match the components (See
Code Lists enclosed). These codes enable the remote
to communicate with your components. Each brand
and each component has its own "language," and, by
programming the correct codes into your remote, you
tell the remote to "speak the same language" as your
components.
There are two methods you can use to program your
remote control to operate your components: Direct
Code Entry and Manual Code Search and Entry. Most
components can be programmed in one of these ways.
Try them in the order listed.
In order to control combo TV/VCR or TV/DVD units,
you must program both the TV key and the VCR or
DVD key. Once programmed successfully, the TV key
controls the TV functions on your unit, and the VCR or
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 or DVD keys. If this is
unsuccessful, follow the normal programming methods
for both the TV and the VCR or DVD keys.

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.
