Using the Remote
Programming the Remote
The universal remote can be programmed to control most brands of
remote controllable VCRs, receivers, etc. The remote is already
programmed to control most RCA, GE and PROSCAN TVs, VCRs,
Laserdisc players and Satellite Receivers.
Testing the Remote
To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed,
turn a device on, such as a VCR, point the remote at the VCR, and press
the VCR1 button. Then press POWER or CHAN
(channel up) or
CHAN
(channel down) to see if the VCR responds to the remote
commands. If not, the remote needs to be programmed.
Programming the Remote to Control a VCR, Laserdisc
player, Satellite Receiver or Cable Box
Follow these steps to program your universal remote to control a VCR,
Laserdisc player, Satellite Receiver or Cable Box:

3. Press and hold the button on the remote you want to program.
4. Enter the code from the code list.
5. Release button, and then press POWER to see if the component
responds to the remote commands. If it doesn’t, try pressing the
component button and then POWER again.

Modes of Operation
Because this universal remote can
control several different components
(Laserdisc player, VCR, Cable Box, etc.),
it uses operational modes triggered by
the component buttons. For example,
if you want the remote to control the
TV, you would press the TV button to
put the remote into TV mode before
you could control the TV.
