SAVE THIS MANUAL AND THE CODE LISTS!
Remote controls can sometimes lose their programming
when you change the batteries. Make sure you keep the
manual and code lists in a safe place so that you can
reprogram the remote if you need to.
Tip: This remote is already programmed to operate
most RCA-branded TVs, VCRs, DVD players and satellite
receivers. Just press the corresponding key—DVD•VCR
for a DVD player, TV for a television, SAT•CBL•DTC for a
satellite receiver, DVR•AUX for a DVR.
Step 1: Install your batteries
Your universal remote requires two AAA alkaline batteries (not
included).
To install the batteries:
1.
Press and push the battery
compartment cover to remove
it.
2.
Insert the batteries, matching
the batteries to the (+) and
(–) marks inside the battery
compartment.
3.
Push the battery cover back into
place.
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.

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 battery life should your remote
get stuck in a place where the keys remain depressed, such as
between sofa cushions.

Step 2: Program your remote
To use this universal remote with your home entertainment
system, first you need to program it to control your devices.
There are four ways you can program the universal remote to
operate your devices:
• The Auto Code Search goes automatically through all the
codes for the device you're trying to control. It's the easiest
method, but it can sometimes take longer than some of the
other programming methods.
• The Brand Code Search searches through the codes for
select brands of devices. It's not as easy as the auto code
search, but it can be faster.
• The Direct Code Entry lets you enter a code from the
accompanying code list for your brand of device. It's not as
easy as the other methods, but it's potentially the fastest
method.
• The Manual Code Search lets you manually go through
all the codes for the device you're trying to control.

Auto Code Search

The Auto Code Search goes automatically through all the
codes for the device you're trying to control. When you find
the one that operates your device, you can stop the search and
store that code.
TIPS: Each device key is associated with a type of
device—the TV is preset to search for TVs, SAT•CBL•DTC
for satellite receivers, cable boxes or digital TV converters,
DVD•VCR for DVD players, and DVR•AUX for DVRs. To
program a device key for a different type of device, see the
Changing a Key's Device Type section.
To exit without saving a new code at any point in the Auto
Code Search, press the CLEAR key.
1.
Manually turn on the device you
want to control.
2.
Press and hold the device key you want to program. While
you're holding down the device key, use your other hand
to press and hold the remote's POWER key at the same
time.
3.
Wait until the remote's indicator
comes on and stays on. Then
release both keys.
4.
Keep the remote pointed directly
at the front panel of the device
you want to control. Press
