Using the Remote Control
You’ll use these buttons when
you program the remote for other
devices.
Programming the Remote to Operate
Other Devices
The universal remote can be programmed to operate many brands of remote-
controllable VCRs, audio devices, DVD players, cable boxes, satellite receivers
and other devices. In addition to being programmed to operate your television,
it’s already programmed to operate most RCA devices.
The AUX•HD button can be programmed to operate most brands of an
additional remote-controllable device: satellite receiver, cable box, DVD, VCR,
and an audio device. A second and third RCA TV can be programmed to any
device button, except the TV button. Go to page 54 for more information on
programming the remote to another TV.
Note: The TV button can’t be programmed on this remote to control
any device; it controls only this TV.
Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote
To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed to
operate one of the devices connected to your TV, such as a VCR, do the
following:
1. Turn on the device (in this example, a VCR).
2. Point the remote at the device.
3. Press the corresponding device button (in this example, VCR).
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 to operate other devices:
Automatic Code Search and Direct Entry.
Using Automatic Code Search
Note: The AUX•HD button can only search VCR codes, but can be used
for a non-VCR device by programming it with direct entry method. By
default, the AUX•HD button is programmed for an RCA HDTV Tuner
receiver.
The following instructions can be used to program the remote to operate
each of your devices. If you want to stop the automatic code search without
programming any of your devices, press the CLEAR button until the device
button you’re trying to program turns off.
1. Turn on the device you want to control (VCR, satellite receiver, etc.)
2. Press and hold the button you want to program. While holding the device
button, press and hold ON•OFF until all of the device buttons (VCR,
TV, DVD, AUDIO, AUX•HD, and SAT•CABLE) fl ash. Then, release both
buttons.
Important Note: The remote
may not be compatible with all
models of all brands of devices. It
also may not operate all functions
of your device.
