Battery Installation

and Information

Your universal remote requires two AAA Alkaline batteries

(batteries may or may not be included, depending on model).

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. Press and push the battery cover

back into place.

Note: Reprogramming may be

required after batteries are replaced.

Congratulations on your purchase of the 3 component

universal remote. This universal remote controls up to three

electronic components and makes juggling remote controls a

thing of the past. You can program this RCA brand universal

remote to operate most models of most brands of infrared,

remote-controlled components manufactured after 1990.

(See the enclosed Code List for a complete list of brands.)

The 3 component universal remote is easy to use, easy to

program and gives you control at the touch of your fingertips.

Note: The 3 component universal remote is already

programmed to operate most RCA, GE and PROSCAN

branded TVs, VCRs, DVD players and satellite receivers (DBS).

Just press the corresponding component key—VCR•DVD for

a VCR or DVD player; TV for a television; DBS•CABLE for a

satellite receiver or a cable box.

or lowest channel number in the component channel list,

respectively, except for DVDs. In DVDs the CHAN UP/DOWN

1. Turn on the component you

want the remote to operate.

2. Press and hold the CODE SEARCH

key until the indicator light

illuminates. Then release the

CODE SEARCH key.

3. Press and release the component key

that corresponds to the component

you want the remote to operate

(TV,VCR•DVD or DBS•CABLE).

The indicator light blinks once

and then remains lit.

4. Aim the remote at the component and

press the ON•OFF key continuously

until the component turns off.

Important: Because there are so many

codes, you may have to press the

ON•OFF key many times—possibly

up to 200 times.

5. When the component turns off, press

the ENTER key to store the code.

6. Use Code Retrieval on the next

page to identify the code for your

component for future reference.

If your component’s brand isn’t listed in the Code List or

you have tried all of the codes for your brand and the remote

does not operate your component, use one of the Code Search

methods below—Manual Code Search or Auto Code Search.

Both Code Search methods search all of the codes because

your component’s code may be listed under another brand

in the code list.

Note: The Code Search method may take a long time because

the remote searches all of the codes in its memory for the

code which operates your component. Therefore, if your

brand is listed in the Code List, use the Direct Entry method

described on pages 5-7.

and brands of consumer electronics components. However,

if you’ve successfully programmed the VCR•DVD key to

operate a DVD player, you can access DVD disc menus with

popular brands. Also, some RCA VCR menus are supported

by this remote’s menu key. This remote also supports select

satellite receiver menus.

for your component, you’ll need to use the original remote

to change menu settings.
