You can assign any one o the ollowing components to theAUX1 orAUX2 keys:

A second TV, VCR, DVD, satellite system, cable box, or anaudio component.

Note:TheAUX1 key is pre-programmed with codes tocontrol Dish Network digital satellite receivers. The SAT keyis pre-programmed with codes to control RCA DIRECTV

digital satellite receivers. If you wish to control a second RCADIRECTV digital satellite receiver, program theAUX1 orAUX2key with satellite code 5001.

Then refer to your RCA DIRECTV satellite receiver manual forinstructions on remote control setup.

1. Manually turn on the component you wish to control.

Find the four-digit code for the component you wishto program in the code list.

2. Press and hold theAUX1 orAUX2 key. While holding theAUX1 orAUX2 key, press thefirst number of the componentcode. If the first number isvalid, the LED will turn off.

3. Enter the code using the Digit(09) keys.

Using Automatic Code SearchThe ollowing instructions can be used to program theremote to control the TV, VCR or DVD. I you want toexit the automatic code search without programming any oyour components, press the CLEAR key until the LED (redlight) turns o.

1. Turn on the component you want to control (TV,

VCR or DVD).2. Press and hold the component key you want to

program. While holding the component key, pressand hold ONOFF until the LED on the remotecontrol turns on, then release both keys.

Note: TheAUX1 andAUX2 keys can only be programmedusing Direct Entry Mode.

3. Point the remote at the component, press and releasePLAY, then wait five seconds or until the LED stopsflashing.

At this point the remote control is searching for the

correct code to program. If, after five seconds, thecomponent you want to control does not turn off,press and release PLAYagain to tell the remote tosearch the next set of codes.

Continue pressing and releasing PLAYuntil thecomponent turns off or you have searched throughall of the codes. There are 20 sets of codes. If thecomponent does not turn off after pressing PLAY20times, then the remote cannot control that particularcomponent.

If the component you want to control does turn off:

1. Press and release REVERSE, then wait two seconds.Repeat this step until the component turns back on.

2. To finish, press and hold STOP until the LED on theremote control turns off.

Using the Remote to Control aComponentBecause this universal remote can control several dierentcomponents (TV, VCR, DVD, etc.), it uses operationalmodes triggered by the component keys. For example, iyou want the remote to control the TV, you would press theTVkey to put the remote into TV Mode. Then, i you wantto play a videotape, pressVCR then PLAY(pointing theremote at the VCR).

Changing the RF Remote CodeYour remote control is equipped with RF unctionality.This means that the remote can control the digital satellitereceiver using both IR (inrared) signals and RF (radiorequency) signals i it is equipped with an RF receiver. IRsignals require line-o-sight to the receivers ront panelremote sensor. RF signals can control the receiver romother parts o your house, even through walls. Installing

your RF remote control antenna will increase the rangeo your RF remote signal. See the owners manual o yourDBS system or more details.

Note: This feature is only applicable for RCA DIRECTV digital

satellite receivers.

If you are experiencing interference from other RFcomponents, you may need to change the RF remotecontrol code. To change the code first in your satellitereceiver, do the following:

1. Select Options in the Main menu.

2. Select System Options.

3. Select RF Remote.

4. If you normally use the SAT key on your remoteto control your RCA satellite receiver, choose anumber between 000 and 255. Follow the on-screeninstructions to enter this number as your RF remotecontrol code. However, if you use theAUX1 orAUX2key, choose a number between 000 and 099.

Then, to change the code on your remote to matchthe satellite receiver, perform the following:

1. Press and hold the SAT key,AUX1, orAUX2 key(depending on which key you use to control yoursatellite receiver).

2. Then use the Digit keys to enter the same RF remotecontrol code (000-255 for SAT), or (000-099 forAUX1orAUX2) on your remote control.

Menu FunctionThe Menu function is used to make changes in theselected settings, such as setting color, channels, timer,

etc. The MENU key displays TV, DVD player, and DBSmenu screens on your TV. Each Menu function willvary from brand to brand.

Entering the Menu Mode

1. Push the component key onthe remote for the desiredmenu screen.

2. Push the MENU key. This

allows you to view the menuof the chosen component. Themenu should now be visibleon your television.

You may have pressed an invalid key or the mode theremote is in (e.g., the RECORd key only works in VCRMode).

Make sure the batteries are properly installed. (SeeBattery Installation on page 1).

Replace the batteries with two new AA batteries.Reprogramming may be required.

Problem: The remote does not operate your

component. You must put the remote in the correct mode by

pressing the corresponding component key (TV, VCR,dVd, SAT, AUX1, AUX2) so the remote knows whichcomponent you want to operate.

Remove any obstacles between the remote and thecomponent. Make sure to aim the remote at the IRsensor on the component.

Make sure the batteries are properly installed. (SeeBattery Installation on page 1).

Replace the batteries with two new AA batteries.

Reprogramming may be required.

Reset the remote. Remove the batteries. Then press andhold the number1 key on the remote or several secondsto reset the microprocessor inside the remote. Release thenumber1 key, reinstall the batteries, and try the remoteagain. Reprogramming will be required.

Problem: The remote is not performing commandsproperly.

You must put the remote in the correct mode bypressing the corresponding component key (TV,

VCR, dVd, SAT, AUX1, AUX2) so the remote knowswhich component you want to operate.

Make sure the component is ready (e.g., DVDplayer has disc loaded; VCR has tape loaded, etc.).

You may have pressed an invalid key for the modethe remote is in (e.g., the RECORd key only worksin VCR Mode).

If you are trying to turn on an RCA, GE orPROSCAN component, press the component key(TV, VCR, dVd, SAT, AUX1, AUX2) instead of theONOFF key.

If youre trying to change channels, try pressing theOKkey after entering the channel number as this is arequirement of certain models and brands.

There is a possibility that a programmed code mayonly be able to control some of your componentfeatures (e.g., only turns a component on andoff). Follow the steps provided for programmingthe remote (See Programming sections). If thecomponent can be turned on and off, make sureyou press the CH+/CH- key to see if the componentresponds. If not, try the next code from the list.

Problem: The VCR wont record. As a safety feature, you must press the RECORd key

twice to begin recording.

Make sure the tape is properly loaded in the VCR.

Make sure the tape is not write-protected. If thesafety tab is removed, the tape is write-protected andyou cannot record onto that tape.

Troubleshooting

Problem: Remote cant be programmed to operateyour component.

You may be too ar away rom the component or at awrong angle. This remote uses IR (inrared) technologyto communicate with components. The remote sendsthe code and the components IR sensor reads the code.

Thereore, there must be an unobstructed path betweenthe remote and the IR sensor on the component.Move closer and make sure you point the remote atthe component (VCR when programming theVCRkey; DVD when programming the dVd key; TVwhen programming the TVkey; satellite receiver whenprogramming the SAT key).

I youve entered all o the codes or your brand that arein the enclosed Code Lists and ollowed the instructions,try the Automatic Code Search method (See UsingAutomatic Code Search).

You must put the remote in the correct mode bypressing the corresponding component key (TV, VCR,dVd, SAT, AUX1, AUX2) so the remote knows whichcomponent you want to operate.

To program the universal remote to operate acombination unit (TV/VCR or TV/DVD), frst trythe VCR or DVD codes or your brand. Some units,however, require that you program both the TV (usingthe TV codes) and the VCR or DVD (using the VCR orDVD codes) or ull operation.

To program the universal remote to operate acombination unit (VCR /DVD), frst program your

VCR using theVCR key and then program your DVDusing the dVd key.
