Programming the Remote to Operate Other Components
The universal remote can be programmed to operate most brands of remote controllable components.
The remote is already programmed to operate most RCA, GE, and Proscan components.
Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote
To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed for your component, turn the
component ON. For example, to program the remote for a TV, turn on the TV. Point the remote at the TV,
and press the TV button. Then press ON•OFF or CH + (channel up) or CH – (channel down) to see if the
TV responds to the remote commands. If the component does not respond, the remote needs to be
programmed.
Programming the Remote
There are two ways to program the remote control: direct entry and automatic code search.
Important
You must continue pressing the component
button while you enter the code.
Let’s say you have a Zenith TV. To program the
universal remote to operate the TV, you would:
Press and hold the TV button while you enter
the first code listed for Zenith in the TV Codes
column.
Release the TV button. Press ON•OFF to see if
the TV responds. If it doesn’t, follow the same
steps, but enter the second code for Zenith TVs
instead of the first.
Note
Some of the remote’s buttons might operate
differently for other components, especially
when you’re using another component’s menu
system.
Using Direct Entry
1. Turn on the component to be programmed.
2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the component
on the code list in this section.
3. Press and hold the component button you want to
program on the remote (TV or AUX).
4. Enter the 4-digit code from the remote control code list
on the following pages. If the indicator flashes, you have
either entered an invalid code or the button isn’t
programmable.
5. Release the component button, point the remote at the
component, then press ON•OFF to see if the component
responds to the command. If it doesn’t, try pressing the
component button and then ON•OFF again.
• If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next
code listed for your brand, until the component responds
to the remote commands.
• If you try all the codes for your component brand and
none work, try the automatic code search method. If
automatic code search doesn’t work, the remote is not
compatible with your component.
