Component Keys (SAT·CBL, VCR, DVD, TV, AUX·1, AUDIO, DVR, AUX·2) LIGHT Key ­ Turns backlighting on/off (select models only). Universal Remote Congratulations on your purchase of this advanced universal remote, which has the capacity to control multiple components. You can program your RCA brand universal remote to operate most models of most brands of infrared, remote-controlled components manufactured after 1990. (See the enclosed Code Lists for a complete list of brands.) ! TIP: Your universal remote is already programmed to operate most RCA, GE and PROSCAN branded TVs, VCRs, DVD players and satellite receivers. Just press the corresponding key­DVD key for a DVD player; TV key for a television; SAT·CBL for a satellite receiver or a cable box; etc. Battery Installation and Information 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. Press and push the battery cover back into place. Note: Reprogramming may be required after batteries are replaced. Battery Saver Your universal remote control saves battery power by automatically turning off if any key is pressed for more than 60 seconds. Backlighting Backlight illumination (available on select models only) enables you to see the remote control keys better in the dark. Backlight illumination is toggled on or off with successive keypresses of the LIGHT key. When toggled on, the backlighting remains on as long as keys are being pressed. The backlighting turns off six seconds after the last keypress. Once the backlight time has expired, any keypress reactivates backlighting. If the backlight illumination is on, and the LIGHT key is pressed, the backlight turns off. Illuminated ON·OFF Key The ON·OFF key powers components on and off. It also lights up to serve as an indicator light, providing feedback for various functions. When a valid key is pressed, the illuminated ON·OFF key remains lit as long as the key is pressed and turns off when the key is released. The ON·OFF key also blinks in Programming mode or in Menu mode to provide feedback. Dedicated MENU Key for DVD disc menus, satellite receivers and some TVs. INFO key ­ Displays information pertaining to the component you are currently controlling. SELECT/OK Key ­ Selects your menu choices. CH and VOL keys have dual functions. They act as navigation keys (UP, DN, RT, LT ARROW keys) in menu systems. Double Off Function The Double Off function transmits a sequence of POWER OFF commands to turn off all RCA components. This feature is specific to RCA products and does not work with other brands. To activate this feature, press the illuminated ON·OFF key twice within a two-second window. At the second keypress, all RCA components turn off. NAVIGATION Keys navigate through menus for DVDs, satellite receivers and some TVs. MACRO Key Plus Digit Keys 1-6 ­ Enable you to store and execute Macros. Transport Keys ­ REVERSE, PLAY, FORWARD, RECORD, STOP and PAUSE Keys INPUT Key ­ Toggles through all the video sources connected to your TV, when the remote is in TV mode. When the remote is in VCR mode, it toggles between VCR and TV input. SLEEP Key - Allows you to set a time to turn off your TV automatically. Actual model may vary from picture shown. 2 3 RCR815.indd 2-3 3/4/05 11:35:07 AM Programming the Remote Your universal remote can operate a variety of brands of components. You need to program the remote with the codes that match the components (See Code Lists enclosed). These codes enable the remote to communicate with your components. Each brand and each component has its own "language," and, by programming the correct codes into your remote, you tell the remote to "speak the same language" as your components. In order to control combo units, like TV/VCRs, TV/DVDs or TV/VCR/DVDs, use the combo codes in the Code List to program the individual corresponding component keys. Once programmed successfully, the TV key controls the TV functions on your unit, and the DVD or VCR key controls the DVD or VCR functions, respectively. The codes in the combo section should be tried first, using Direct Code Entry on the TV and DVD or VCR keys. If this is unsuccessful, use Manual or Auto Code Search to program the remote to control your combo unit. ! TIP: Throughout the programming of each key, keep the remote pointed at the IR sensor of the component you are currently programming the remote to control. Direct Code Entry To program your universal remote to control your components using the Direct Code Entry Method, follow the steps below. 1. Manually turn on the component you want the remote to control. 2. Locate the listing of four-digit codes for your component's brand in the enclosed Code Lists. If your brand isn't listed, use one of the Code Search methods to program the remote control. 3. Press and hold the component key you wish to program. The illuminated ON·OFF key turns on and remains on. If you release the component key any time during the Direct Code Entry procedure, the illuminated ON·OFF key blinks four times, and the process is exited. The last programmed code under the component key is retained. 4. While holding down the component key, use the number keys (0-9) to enter the four-digit code from the Code Lists that corresponds to your component's brand. After you press the first number, the illuminated ON·OFF key turns off. 5. After the fourth number is entered, the illuminated ON·OFF key turns on. Release the component key. If the illuminated ON·OFF key turns off, you have entered a valid code and have followed the correct procedure for Direct Code Entry. If you enter a code number that is not in the Code Lists or you do not follow all of the steps for Direct Code Entry, the illuminated ON·OFF key blinks four times when the co ...
