Troubleshooting (continued)
Problem: The remote is not performing 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
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) .
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 (using the Direct Entry Method) 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 .
Problem: The LED indicator light does not turn on 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 3 .)
Replace the batteries with two new AAA 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 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 .
• Press the OK key after you enter a channel number .
