SAVE THIS MANUAL AND THE CODE LISTS!
Remote controls can sometimes lose their programming when you change the
batteries. Make sure you keep the manual and code lists in a safe place so
that you can reprogram the remote if you need to.
TIPS: This remote is already programmed to operate most RCA-branded
TVs, DVD players, and satellite receivers. Just press the corresponding
key—DVD•VCR for a DVD player, TV for a television, SAT•CBL•DTC for a
satellite receiver.
Install your batteries
Your universal remote requires two AAA alkaline batteries (not included).
To install the batteries:
1. Remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert the batteries, matching the batteries to the (+) and (-) marks inside
the battery compartment.
3. Push the battery cover back into place.
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.
Battery saver
Your universal remote control saves battery power by automatically turning
off if any key is pressed for more than 60 seconds. This saves your battery
life should your remote get stuck in a place where the keys remain depressed,
such as between sofa cushions.
Program your remote
To use this universal remote with your home entertainment system, first you
need to program it to control your devices. The following set of instructions
demonstrate how to use the Auto Code Search function.
The Auto Code Search goes automatically through all the codes for the
device you’re trying to control. It’s the easiest method, but it can
sometimes take longer than some of the other programming methods.
The Brand Code Search searches through the codes for select brands
of devices. It’s not as easy as the auto code search, but it can be faster.
The Direct Code Entry lets you enter a code from the accompanying
code list for your brand of device. It’s not as easy as the other methods,
but it’s potentially the fastest method.
The Manual Code Search lets you manually go through all the codes
for the device you’re trying to control.
Auto Code Search
The Auto Code Search goes automatically through all the codes for the device
you’re trying to control. When you find the one that operates your device,
you can stop the search and store that code.
1. Manually turn on the device you want to control (please see Figure 1).
Figure 1. Turn on the device you want to control.
TIPS: Each device key is associated with a type of device—the TV is preset
to search for:
TVs,
SAT•CBL•DTC for satellite receivers, cable boxes or
digital TV converters and DVD•VCR for DVD players.
To program the DVD•VCR key to control a PVR or VCR, see the Reassigning the
DVD•VCR Key to Control a VCR section.
To exit without saving a new code at any point in the Auto
Code Search,

on, press the FORWARD key. Then, wait two seconds to see if your device
turns off again.
