reprogram the remote if you need to.Tip:This remote is already programmed to operate most

RCA-branded TVs, DVD players, and satellite receivers.Just press the corresponding keyDVDVCR for a DVD

player, TV for a television, SATCBLDTC for a satellite

receiver.

Your universal remote requires two AAA alkaline batteries (notincluded).

1. Remove the batterycompartment cover.

2. Insert the batteries, matchingthe batteries to the (+) and() marks inside the batterycompartment.

3. Push the battery cover back intoplace.

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.

To use this universal remote with your home entertainmentsystem, frst you need to program it to control your devices.There are our ways you can program the universal remote tooperate your devices:

The Auto Code Search goes automatically through all thecodes or the device youre trying to control. Its the easiestmethod, but it can sometimes take longer than some o theother programming methods.

The Brand Code Search searches through the codes orselect brands o devices. Its not as easy as the auto codesearch, but it can be aster.

The Direct Code Entry lets you enter a code rom theaccompanying code list or your brand o device. Its not aseasy as the other methods, but its potentially the astestmethod.

The Manual Code Search lets you manually go throughall the codes or the device youre trying to control.

Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality

1. Try a variety o the devices unctions with the remote. Isome device eatures dont work, go to the next step to trya dierent code.

2. Repeat the Auto Code Search Method rom the beginning.When your device turns off, do not stop searching.Instead, with the unit now o, continue to press the PLAYkey every 5 seconds until the unit turns back on.

3. Once the unit turns back on, press the REVERSE key on theremote every 2 seconds until your device turns o again.When your device turns off again, press the STOP key.

4. Test the keys unctionality again by attempting to controla variety o the devices unctions. I the code that hasbeen stored controls the majority o the devices unctions,programming is complete. I the code stored does not givemaximum unctionality, try another code.

Auto Code SearchThe Auto Code Search goes automatically through all thecodes for the device youre trying to control. When you ndthe one that operates your device, you can stop the search andstore that code.

TIPS:Each device key is associated with a type of

devicethe TV is preset to search for TVs, SATCBLDTC

for satellite receivers, cable boxes or digital TV converters,and DVDVCR for DVD players. To program the DVDVCR

key to control a PVR or VCR, see theReassigning theDVDVCR Key to Control a VCR section.

To exit without saving a new code at any point in the Auto

Code Search, press the EXIT key.

1. Manually turn on the device youwant to control.

2. Press and hold the device key you want to program. ThePOWER key illuminates.

While youre holding down the device key, use your other

hand to press and hold the remotes POWER key at thesame time. The POWER key turns off.

3. Wait until the POWER key comeson and stays on. Then releaseboth keys.

4. Point the remote directly at theront panel o the device youwant to control. Press PLAY onthe remote and wait 5 seconds.The remote is testing a batch o10 codes on your device.

Did your device turn off?

YES: Go to step 5.

NO: Press PLAY again. The remote tests the next batch o10 codes.

Keep pressing PLAY every 5 seconds until your device turnso.

5. When your device turns off, pressthe REVERSE key on the remoteand wait at least 2 seconds.The remote tries the last o theprevious ten codes.

Did your device turn on?

YES: Press the STOP key. Youredone! Youve programmed thisdevice key.

NO: Press REVERSE again. The remote tests the nextcode in the batch.

Keep pressing REVERSE every 2 seconds until your deviceturns back on. When it does, press STOP.

Note:If you accidentally press the REVERSE key after yourdevice turns on, press the FORWARD key. Then, wait twoseconds to see if your device turns off again.

NOTES

Throughout the programming of each key, be sure to keep

the remote pointed at the IR sensor of the device you are

currently programming the remote to control.

Test the remote with the device to make sure the

device key is programmed with the correct code for

maximum functionality. If some features dont work, try

a different code. See the Testing the Code for MaximumFunctionality section below for more information.

During the Auto Code Search, the remote ignores

keypresses that arent part of the search.

The search times out after two minutes (the POWER key

blinks four times and turns off, and the last programmed

code under that device key is retained).

The POWER key blinks four times and turns off when the

remote has gone through all the codes. The remote exits

the Auto Code Search. If your device hasnt turned off yet,

try a different search method.

codes begin with the number 2; all DVDs, the number 3; and

all satellite receivers, cable boxes and DTV converters, the

number 5.

5. Repeat step 4 until you have retrieved all ve numbers inthe code. After the fth number is retrieved, the POWERkey blinks briefy, then turns o.

TIP:To exit the Code Retrieval Mode at any time, press the
