Programming the Remote to Operate
Other Components
The universal remote can be programmed to operate most brands of remote
controllable components. The remote is already programmed to operate most
RCA, GE, and Proscan components.
Also, the AUX button can be programmed to operate most brands of an
additional remote-controllable component (such as a VCR, DVD player, CD
player, satellite receiver, cable box or audio receiver).
Note: The TV button can't be programmed on this remote.

Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote

To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed to operate
one of the components connected to your TV, such as a VCR, do the following:
1. Turn on the component (in this example, a VCR).
2. Point the remote at the component.
3. Press the corresponding component button (in this example, the VCR
button).
4. Press ON•OFF to see if the VCR responds. If the VCR doesn't respond, you
need to program the remote to operate it.

Programming the Remote

There are two ways to program the remote control:
• automatic code search
• direct entry
Using Automatic Code Search
The following instructions can be used to program the remote to operate each
of your components. If you want to stop the automatic code search without
programming any of your components, press CLEAR until the indicator on the
remote turns off.
1. Turn on the component you want to operate (VCR, DVD player, etc.)
2. Press and hold the component button you want to program (VCR, DVD,
etc.). 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 tell the remote to search the next set of codes.
Continue pressing PLAY until the component turns off or the indicator light
on the remote turns off. If the indicator light turns off, then all codes for that
particular component have been tested once. If the component does not turn
off, 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. To finish, press and hold STOP until the indicator on the remote turns off.
A code that controls your component has been saved to that remote button.
