How To Use The Remote After You've Programmed It - RCA DSL1500 User Manual

Chapter 2: Remote Control
Using Automatic Code Search
You can program the remote to operate each of your components. To stop the automatic code search
without programming any of your components, press EXIT•CLEAR until the indicator on the remote
turns off.
Note: AUX can't be programmed using the automatic code search method.
1. Turn on the component you want to operate (TV, VCR, etc.)
2. Press and hold the component button you want to program (TV, for example). While holding the
component button, press and hold ON•OFF until the indicator on the remote turns on, then release
both buttons.
3. Point the remote at the component. Press and release PLAY, then wait 5 seconds or until the
indicator on the remote stops flashing.
At this point the remote is searching for the correct code to program. If, after 5 seconds, the
component you want to operate does not turn off, press PLAY again to search the next set of codes.
Continue pressing PLAY until the component turns off or you have searched through all of the codes.
There are 20 total sets of codes. If the component does not turn off after pressing PLAY 20 times,
then the remote can't be programmed to operate that component.
If the component you want to control does turn off:
1. Press and release REVERSE, then wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step until the device turns back ON.
2. Press and hold STOP until the indicator on the remote turns off.

How to Use the Remote After You've Programmed It

Because this universal remote can control several different components (TV, DVD, VCR, A/V receiver) it
uses operational modes triggered by the component buttons. For example, if you want the remote to
control the TV, press the TV button to put the remote into TV mode.
1. Press the appropriate component button (TV, AUX, ToTV, Web, etc.) to set the remote to control the
component.
2. Press ON•OFF to turn the component ON or OFF.
3. Use the remote buttons that apply to that component.
Notes:
• The remote may not be compatible with all brands and models of components. It also may not operate all
functions of the remote that came with your component.
• If you keep pressing buttons and nothing happens, the remote is probably in the wrong mode. You must press
the component button that matches the component you want to operate (i.e., if you want to operate the TV,
press TV on the remote control to put the remote in TV mode.)
