Congratulations on your purchase of the 4 component

universal remote by RCA. This universal remote controls

up to four electronic components and makes juggling remote

controls a thing of the past. You can program this RCA

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 4 component universal remote is easy to use, easy to

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

Note: The 4 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 for a VCR;

DVD•AUX for a DVD player; TV for a television; DBS•CABLE

for a satellite receiver or a cable box.

Code Search Methods

Manual Code Search

1. Manually turn on the component

you want the remote to operate.

2. Press and hold the CODE SEARCH

key for approximately three seconds

until all four component keys light up.

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

or DBS•CABLE). The chosen

component key remains lit.

Note: For DVD or AUX, press

DVD•AUX, then the component key

corresponding to the component to be

stored under the AUX key. For DVD,

press DVD•AUX, then the VCR key.

For an auxiliary component, press

DVD•AUX, then the corresponding

component key (TV, VCR,

DBS•CABLE).

4. Aim the remote at the component and

press the ON•OFF key continuously until

the component turns off. The component

key remains lit during this process,

blinking each time you press the

ON•OFF key.

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 immediately to store

the code. The lighted component key

then turns off.

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 5-8.

component key remains lit.

If you used one of the Code Search methods to program

is compatible with your component. Finding the actual code

and writing it down will save you time if you ever need to

program the remote again (e.g., if programming is lost when

you change the batteries).

the process.

5. As soon as the component turns

off, you must press the ENTER key

immediately so the remote stores the

correct code. The lighted component

key then turns off. If you don’t press

from step 2.

6. Use Code Retrieval to identify the code
