especially when you’re using
their menu system.

Programming the Remote to Operate
Other Components

The universal remote control can be programmed to operate most brands of
remote controllable VCRs, satellite receivers and cable boxes. The remote is
already programmed to operate most RCA, GE and Proscan VCRs and satellite
receivers.

Note: The TV, VCR, and DVD buttons cannot be programmed.

Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote

To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed, turn a
component ON, such as a VCR, point the remote at the VCR, and press the
VCR2 button. Then press ON•OFF or channel up or channel down to see if the
VCR responds to the remote commands. If not, the remote needs to be
programmed.

How to Program the Remote

There are two ways to program the remote control: automatic code search and
direct entry. Instructions for both ways follow.

Using Automatic Code Search

1.

Turn on the component you want the remote to operate (VCR or satellite
receiver).

2.

Press and hold the component button on the remote that corresponds to the
component you want the remote to operate (VCR2 or SAT•CABLE). While
you hold down the component button, press and hold ON•OFF (when the
light below the ON•OFF button on the remote turns on, release both
buttons).
