Programming The Remote

Control Your Other Components

The remote can be programmed to control several components, such as a 
television, satellite receiver, cable box, laser disc player, DVD player, 
or RCA audio component.

It is initially programmed to control an RCA, GE, or ProScan TV or digital 
satellite receiver.  Other manufacturer's brands need to be programmed.

Programming the Remote To control a TV

If the TV does not turn on when you press the TV button, the remote needs 
to be programmed. 

Follow these steps to program the remote to control your particular TV:

1.  Turn on the TV.

2.  Find your TV brand and code number(s) on the code list below.

3.  Press and hold the TV button on the remote. 

4.  Enter the three-digit code from the code list. 

5.  Release TV, and then press CHAN up or down.  If the TV responds to the
    remote commands, the remote is programmed. 

6.  If the TV does not respond, repeat these steps using the next code in
    the list.

Operate The TV

After you set up the remote, see which buttons operate your TV.

1.  Point the remote at the TV, and press the TV button.

    If the TV does not turn on, press the TV button and then press the PWR 
    button.

2.  You may want to experiment to see which buttons operate your TV.  Try
    pressing buttons, such as VOL and MUTE.  See "TV Function Buttons" in
    the VCR Basic section (Faxback Doc. # 61858) for details.

    This remote may not operate all models of the brands that are shown.
