SAVE THIS MANUAL AND THE CODE LISTS!
Remote controls can sometimes lose their programming when
you change the batteries. Make sure you keep the manual and
code lists in a safe place so that you can reprogram the remote
if you need to.
1. Manually turn on the device
you want to control.
Congratulations on your purchase of this 3-device RCA
Universal Remote Control. This remote features a library
of codes with the latest devices of all major brands, with
support for streaming media players as well. The navigation
keys have been redesigned to function seamlessly with the
more sophisticated menu and guide systems found in today’s
home entertainment devices.
2. If you’re programming the TV or
SAT•CBL•STREAM key, go to step 3.
If you’re programming the DVD•VCR key, you need
to tell the remote which kind of device you want this
key to control, VCR or DVD.
Step 1: Install your batteries
Press and hold the DVD•VCR key. While you’re holding
down the DVD•VCR key, use your other hand to press
the number key for the type of device you want to
control with this key: 2 for VCR, 3 for DVD.
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.
Battery Precautions:
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or
rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.
• Always remove old, weak or worn-out batteries promptly
and recycle or dispose of them in accordance with Local
and National Regulations.
Battery Saver
3. Find your device’s brand in the
Brand Code list section of the
accompanying code list. Circle
the number for your brand and
keep the list handy.
Your universal remote control saves battery power by

Because this remote controls more than one device,
you must first “tell” the remote which device you wish
to operate. That means, if you wish to operate your TV,
you must first press the TV key to put the remote in the
TV Mode. The remote stays in that device mode until
you press a different device key. For example, if your
remote is in TV Mode and you want to operate the DVD
player, you must press the DVD•VCR key to change
device modes.

Advanced Functions
Code Retrieval
Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed.
Replace the batteries with two new AA batteries, if necessary
(see the Battery Installation section).
Once you’ve 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 find 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 don’t remember the code, you will
need to retrieve each device’s five-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.
Problem: The remote can’t be programmed to operate
your device.
•
If you are testing the remote while programming it, you may
be too far away from the device or at a wrong angle. There
must be an unobstructed path between the remote and the
IR sensor on the device. Move closer and make sure you
point the remote at the device you’re trying to control.
•
•
If you’re using the Direct Entry programming method
to enter the codes for your brand and the unit is still not
functioning properly, try the auto, brand, or manual search
method.
To control combo units, like TV/VCRs or TV/DVDs, you must
program the individual corresponding device keys to control
each part of the combo unit. Once programmed successfully,
the TV key controls the TV functions, and the DVD•VCR key
controls the VCR or DVD functions.
POWER key
1. Press and hold the device
key (TV, SAT•CBL•STREAM,
DVD•VCR) whose code you
wish to retrieve. The POWER
key turns on. Keep pressing
the device key.
•
Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed.
Problem: The remote doesn’t perform commands properly.
•
Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing
the corresponding device key (TV, SAT•CBL•STREAM,
DVD•VCR). This tells the remote which device to operate.
2. While holding the device key down, press and hold the
INFO-OPTIONS key. The POWER key turns off. After
holding down both keys for three seconds, the POWER
key turns back on.
•
•
•
Make sure device is ready (for example, the DVD player has
a disc loaded).
3. Release both keys. The POWER key remains on.
You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode the remote is
in.
4. Starting with the number 1 key, press and release each
number key on the keypad in the following order: 1-9,
then 0. The number that causes the POWER key to
blink is the first number of the code. As you find each
number of the code, write it down for future reference.
If you’re trying to enter a channel number directly, try
pressing the OK key after entering the channel number as
this is a requirement of certain models and brands.
•
There is a possibility that a programmed code may only be
able to control some of your device features (for example,
only turns a device on and off). To confirm that the device
key is programmed with the correct code for maximum
functionality, test the device. Attempt to control a variety
of the device’s functions with the remote. If some of the
features of your devices don’t work, try programming the
remote with a different code in the list using the Direct Code
Entry Method, until you find the code that allows the remote
to control the majority of your device’s functions. Different
codes can provide different levels of functionality.
