In most cases, the keys on

this remote perform the same

functions as the keys on your
original remotes once youve
programmed this remote to
operate your components.
Many keys on this remote
have other functions as well.
Illuminated ONOFF key
serves as an indicator light to
provide feedback.
Device keys (TV,
SATCBLDTC, DVD,
VCRAUX) put the remote in
the right mode to control your
device.
Backlight key ( ) turns
backlighting on/off.
GUIDE and MENU put the
remote in menu/guide mode,
which makes the CH]VOL
keys serve as arrow keys;
they also access the same
features as the keys on your
original remotes.
CH and VOL keys have dual
functions: they can act as
navigation keys in menu
systems as well as channel
and volume controllers
outside the menus. The
CH keys also provide skip
forward and skip back control
for DVD players and DVRs
that support this functionality.
Battery Saver
Your universal remote control saves battery power by
automatically turning off if any key is pressed for more than
60 seconds. This saves your battery life should your remote
get stuck in a place where the keys remain depressed, such as
between sofa cushions.

most RCA-branded TVs, VCRs, DVD players and satellite
receivers. Just press the corresponding keyDVD for
a DVD pIaye, TV f a teIevsn, SATCBLDTC f a
sateIIte eceve, VCPAUX f a VCP.
Your universal remote requires two AA alkaline batteries
(batteries may or may not be included, depending on model).
To install the batteries:
1. Remove the battery compartment
cover.
2. Insert the batteries, matching the
batteries to the (+) and () marks
inside the battery compartment.
3. Push the battery cover back into place.

To use this universal remote with your home entertainment
system, rst you need to program it to control your devices.
There are four ways you can program the universal remote to
operate your devices:
The Auto Code Search goes automatically through all the
codes for the device youre trying to control. Its the easiest
method, but it can sometimes take longer than some of the
other programming methods.
The Brand Code Search searches through the codes for
select brands of devices. Its not as easy as the auto code
search, but it can be faster.
The Direct Code Entry lets you enter a code from the
accompanying code list for your brand of device. Its not as
easy as the other methods, but its potentially the fastest
method.
The Manual Code Search lets you manually go through
all the codes for the device youre trying to control.
Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality
1. Try a variety of the devices functions with the remote. If
some device features dont work, go to next step to try a
different code.
2. Repeat the Auto Code Search Method from the beginning.
Wheh your device Iurhs oII, do hoI sIop searchihg.
Instead, with the unit now off, continue to press the PLAY
key every 5 seconds until the unit turns back on.
3. Once the unit turns back on, press the REVERSE key on the
remote every 2 seconds until your device turns off again.
Wheh your device Iurhs oII agaih, press Ihe STOP key.
4. Test the keys functionality again by attempting to control
a variety of the devices functions. If the code that has
been stored controls the majority of the devices functions,
programming is complete. If the code stored does not give
maximum functionality, try another code.
Auto Code Search
The Auto Code Search goes automatically through all the
codes Ior Ihe device you're Iryihg Io cohIrol. Wheh you Ihd
the one that operates your device, you can stop the search and
store that code.
1. Manually turn on the device you
want to control.
2. Press ahd hold Ihe device key you wahI Io program. While
youre holding down the device key, use your other hand
to press and hold the remotes ONOFF key at the same

release both keys.
4. Point the remote directly at the
front panel of the device you
want to control. Press PLAY on
the remote and wait 5 seconds.
The remote is testing a batch of
10 codes on your device.
Did your device turn off?
YES: Go to step 5.
NO: Press PLAY again. The remote tests the next batch of
10 codes.
Keep pressihg PLAY every 5 secohds uhIil your device
turns off.
5. Wheh your device Iurhs oII, press
the REVERSE key on the remote
and wait at least 2 seconds.
The remote tries the last of the
previous ten codes.

Code Retrieval
Once youve programmed the remote to control your devices,
you may want to record the codes for future reference. If
you used the Direct Code Entry method, this is easy. Just
nd the codes you entered and make a note of them in the
boxes below. If you used one of the Code Search methods to
program your remote or if you used the Direct Entry method
but dont remember the code, you will need to retrieve each
devices ve-digit code. Retrieving 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). If the codes are recorded, you can use the
Direct Entry method to reprogram your remote to control your
devices, which is quick and easy.
1. Press and hold the device
key (TV, SATCBLDTC, DVD,
VCPAUX) whose code you
wish Io reIrieve. The ONOFF
key Iurhs oh. Keep pressihg Ihe
device key.

most RCA-branded TVs, VCRs, DVD players and satellite
receivers. Just press the corresponding keyDVD for
a DVD pIaye, TV f a teIevsn, SATCBLDTC f a
sateIIte eceve, VCPAUX f a VCP.
Your universal remote requires two AA alkaline batteries
(batteries may or may not be included, depending on model).
To install the batteries:
1. Remove the battery compartment
cover.
2. Insert the batteries, matching the
batteries to the (+) and () marks
inside the battery compartment.
3. Push the battery cover back into place.

To use this universal remote with your home entertainment
system, rst you need to program it to control your devices.
There are four ways you can program the universal remote to
operate your devices:
The Auto Code Search goes automatically through all the
codes for the device youre trying to control. Its the easiest
method, but it can sometimes take longer than some of the
other programming methods.
The Brand Code Search searches through the codes for
select brands of devices. Its not as easy as the auto code
search, but it can be faster.
The Direct Code Entry lets you enter a code from the
accompanying code list for your brand of device. Its not as
easy as the other methods, but its potentially the fastest
method.
The Manual Code Search lets you manually go through
all the codes for the device youre trying to control.
Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality
1. Try a variety of the devices functions with the remote. If
some device features dont work, go to next step to try a
different code.
2. Repeat the Auto Code Search Method from the beginning.
Wheh your device Iurhs oII, do hoI sIop searchihg.
Instead, with the unit now off, continue to press the PLAY
key every 5 seconds until the unit turns back on.
3. Once the unit turns back on, press the REVERSE key on the
remote every 2 seconds until your device turns off again.
Wheh your device Iurhs oII agaih, press Ihe STOP key.
4. Test the keys functionality again by attempting to control
a variety of the devices functions. If the code that has
been stored controls the majority of the devices functions,
programming is complete. If the code stored does not give
maximum functionality, try another code.
Auto Code Search
The Auto Code Search goes automatically through all the
codes Ior Ihe device you're Iryihg Io cohIrol. Wheh you Ihd
the one that operates your device, you can stop the search and
store that code.

Code Retrieval
Once youve programmed the remote to control your devices,
you may want to record the codes for future reference. If
you used the Direct Code Entry method, this is easy. Just
nd the codes you entered and make a note of them in the
boxes below. If you used one of the Code Search methods to
program your remote or if you used the Direct Entry method
but dont remember the code, you will need to retrieve each
devices ve-digit code. Retrieving 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). If the codes are recorded, you can use the
Direct Entry method to reprogram your remote to control your
devices, which is quick and easy.
1. Press and hold the device
key (TV, SATCBLDTC, DVD,
VCPAUX) whose code you
wish Io reIrieve. The ONOFF
key Iurhs oh. Keep pressihg Ihe

To use this universal remote with your home entertainment
system, rst you need to program it to control your devices.
There are four ways you can program the universal remote to
operate your devices:
The Auto Code Search goes automatically through all the
codes for the device youre trying to control. Its the easiest
method, but it can sometimes take longer than some of the
other programming methods.
The Brand Code Search searches through the codes for
select brands of devices. Its not as easy as the auto code
search, but it can be faster.
The Direct Code Entry lets you enter a code from the
accompanying code list for your brand of device. Its not as
easy as the other methods, but its potentially the fastest
method.
The Manual Code Search lets you manually go through
all the codes for the device youre trying to control.
Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality
1. Try a variety of the devices functions with the remote. If
some device features dont work, go to next step to try a
different code.
2. Repeat the Auto Code Search Method from the beginning.

Code Retrieval
Once youve programmed the remote to control your devices,
you may want to record the codes for future reference. If
you used the Direct Code Entry method, this is easy. Just
nd the codes you entered and make a note of them in the
boxes below. If you used one of the Code Search methods to
program your remote or if you used the Direct Entry method
but dont remember the code, you will need to retrieve each
devices ve-digit code. Retrieving 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). If the codes are recorded, you can use the
Direct Entry method to reprogram your remote to control your
devices, which is quick and easy.
1. Press and hold the device
key (TV, SATCBLDTC, DVD,
VCPAUX) whose code you
wish Io reIrieve. The ONOFF

To use this universal remote with your home entertainment
system, rst you need to program it to control your devices.
There are four ways you can program the universal remote to
operate your devices:
The Auto Code Search goes automatically through all the
codes for the device youre trying to control. Its the easiest
method, but it can sometimes take longer than some of the
other programming methods.
The Brand Code Search searches through the codes for
select brands of devices. Its not as easy as the auto code
search, but it can be faster.
The Direct Code Entry lets you enter a code from the
accompanying code list for your brand of device. Its not as
easy as the other methods, but its potentially the fastest
method.
The Manual Code Search lets you manually go through
all the codes for the device youre trying to control.
Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality
1. Try a variety of the devices functions with the remote. If
some device features dont work, go to next step to try a
different code.
2. Repeat the Auto Code Search Method from the beginning.
Wheh your device Iurhs oII, do hoI sIop searchihg.
Instead, with the unit now off, continue to press the PLAY
key every 5 seconds until the unit turns back on.
3. Once the unit turns back on, press the REVERSE key on the
remote every 2 seconds until your device turns off again.
Wheh your device Iurhs oII agaih, press Ihe STOP key.
4. Test the keys functionality again by attempting to control
a variety of the devices functions. If the code that has
been stored controls the majority of the devices functions,
programming is complete. If the code stored does not give
maximum functionality, try another code.
Auto Code Search
The Auto Code Search goes automatically through all the
codes Ior Ihe device you're Iryihg Io cohIrol. Wheh you Ihd
the one that operates your device, you can stop the search and
store that code.

Code Retrieval
Once youve programmed the remote to control your devices,
you may want to record the codes for future reference. If
you used the Direct Code Entry method, this is easy. Just
nd the codes you entered and make a note of them in the
boxes below. If you used one of the Code Search methods to
program your remote or if you used the Direct Entry method
but dont remember the code, you will need to retrieve each
devices ve-digit code. Retrieving 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). If the codes are recorded, you can use the
Direct Entry method to reprogram your remote to control your
devices, which is quick and easy.
1. Press and hold the device
key (TV, SATCBLDTC, DVD,
VCPAUX) whose code you
wish Io reIrieve. The ONOFF
key Iurhs oh. Keep pressihg Ihe
