Using the Remote Control to Control
Components
Your VCR’s remote control is capable of controlling more than just your VCR. If
you have compatible RCA, GE, or Proscan TV, you may be able to control it
without any additional steps.
In order for the VCR’s remote control to operate a compatible RCA, GE, or
Proscan TV, you must first press the TV button on the remote control. For
example, if you wanted to change the TV’s channel, you would need to hit the
TV button first to put the remote control in TV-controlling mode, and then
press the CHAN up or down button. To rewind a tape in the VCR, you would
first press the VCR button on the remote control to put it into VCR-controlling
mode, and then press the REVERSE button.
Buttons of the Remote Control
0-9 (Number buttons) Enter channel numbers and time settings directly
through the remote control.
To enter a two-digit channel, press the two digits. To enter a three-digit channel,
press and hold the first digit for two seconds until two dashes appear to the right
of the number, then add the second two. Example: to tune to channel 123, press
and hold 1 for two seconds, then, when the dashes appear (--) press 2, then
press 3.
CHAN (up and down) buttons Scan up or down through the VCR’s stored
channels. Press once to change the channel up or down; press and hold to
continue changing channels.
CLEAR Removes any menu or display from the screen and returns the display
to the normal signal.
FORWARD Advances the tape in the VCR. If in PLAY mode, the FORWARD
button starts fast-motion scan. If the tape in STOP mode, the FORWARD button
starts fast forwarding.
F. ADV (Frame Advance) Advances the tape one frame at a time during play-
pause mode.
GO BACK Depending on which component the remote control is set to
operate, this button returns the TV or VCR to the previously viewed channel.
INFO Shows the VCR’s status displays on the TV screen. Press the INFO
button once to display the day, date, time, and tape counter information. Press
the INFO button a second time to display just the tape counter. Press the INFO
button a third time to clear all displays.
INPUT Selects between the Video Line Inputs and the VCR’s tuner. Video
Line Input refers to the signal coming from another component connected to
the A/V input jacks on the VCR (L1 designates the rear A/V jacks and L2
denotes the front jacks).
