Programming Your Remote
You can program the universal remote to control most brands of remote controllable TVs,
VCRs and cable boxes. If you have an RCA, GE or ProScan component, you may not need
to program the remote at all. Other manufacturersÕ brands will need to be programmed.
Programming the Remote to Control Other Brands of Components
To determine whether you need to program the universal remote, turn on the component
you want to operate, point the remote at the componentÕs remote sensor and press the
corresponding component button. Then, press the buttons (VCR1, DSS•CABLE, VCR2•LD,
CD, AM•FM, TAPE) that will be used for that component to see if it responds to the remote
commands. If not, you need to program the remote.
Follow these steps to program your universal remote:
1. Turn on the component.
2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the type of component you are
programming in the code lists on the next pages or on the code sheet packed
with your remote.
3. Press and hold the component button on the remote.
4. While holding the component button, enter the three-digit code from the
code list.
5. Release the component button, then press one of the commonly used buttons
for that component to see if the component responds to the remote commands.
6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 using the next code listed for your brand until the
component responds to the remote commands.

previous pages.

buttonÑAM/FM, TAPE, CD, DSS•CABLE, etc.
