4 Component  
Universal Remote  
Congratulations on your purchase of the 4 component  
universal remote by RCA. This universal remote controls  
up to four electronic components and makes juggling remote  
controls a thing of the past. You can program this RCA  
universal remote to operate most models of most brands of  
infrared, remote-controlled components manufactured after  
1990. (See the enclosed Code List for a complete list of brands).  
The 4 component universal remote is easy to use, easy to  
program and gives you control at the touch of your fingertips.  
Note: The 4 component universal remote is already  
programmed to operate most RCA, GE and PROSCAN  
branded TVs, VCRs, DVD players and satellite receivers (DBS).  
Just press the corresponding component key—VCR for a VCR;  
DVD•AUX for a DVD player; TV for a television; DBS•CABLE  
for a satellite receiver or a cable box.  
Battery Installation  
and Information  
Your universal remote requires two AAA Alkaline batteries  
(batteries may or may not be included, depending on model).  
To install the batteries:

Code Search Methods  
If your component’s brand isn’t listed in the Code List or  
you have tried all of the codes for your brand and the remote  
does not operate your component, use one of the Code Search  
methods below—Manual Code Search or Auto Code Search.  
Both Code Search methods search all of the codes because  
your component’s code may be listed under another brand  
in the code list.  
Note: The Code Search method may take a long time because  
the remote searches all of the codes in its memory for the  
code which operates your component. Therefore, if your  
brand is listed in the Code List, use the Direct Entry method  
described on pages 5-8.

Troubleshooting  
Problem: The remote can’t be programmed to operate  
your component.  
You may be too far away from the component or at a  
wrong angle. This remote uses IR (infrared) technology  
to communicate with components. The remote sends the  
code and the component’s IR sensor reads the code.  
Therefore, there must be an unobstructed path between  
the remote and the IR sensor on the component. Move  
closer and make sure you point the remote at the  
component (VCR when programming the VCR key;  
TV when programming the TV key; cable box or satellite  
receiver when you’re programming the DBSCABLE key;  
DVD Player when programming the DVDAUX key).  
• If you’ve entered all of the codes for your brand that  
are in the accompanying Code List and followed the  
instructions, try one of the Code Search methods  
(See Code Search on page 9).  
You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing  
the corresponding component key (TV, VCR, DVDAUX,  
or DBSCABLE) so the remote knows which component  
you want to operate.  
To program the 4 component universal remote to operate  
a combination unit (TV/VCR or TV/DVD), first try the  
VCR or DVD codes for your brand. Some units, however,  
require that you program both the TV key (using the TV  
codes) and the VCR or DVD•AUX key (using the VCR or  
DVD codes) for full operation.  
To program the 4 component universal remote to operate  
a combination unit (VCR/DVD), program the VCR key  
using the VCR codes and then program the DVDAUX  
key using the DVD codes.  
Problem: The indicator light does not light when you press a key.  
You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing  
the corresponding component key (TV, VCR, DVDAUX,  
or DBSCABLE) so the remote knows which component  
you want to operate.  
You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode the  
remote is in (for example, REC only works in VCR Mode).  
• Make sure the batteries are properly installed.  
• Replace the batteries with two new AAA 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, DVDAUX,  
or DBSCABLE) so the remote knows which component  
you want to operate.  
• Remove any obstacles between the remote and the  
component. Make sure to aim the remote at the IR  
sensor on the component.  
• Make sure the batteries are properly installed  
(See Battery Installation on page 3).  
• Replace the batteries with two new AAA batteries.  
Reprogramming may be required.  
• Reset the remote. Remove the batteries, then press and  
hold the number 1 key on the remote for several seconds  
to reset the microprocessor inside the remote. Release the  
number 1 key, reinstall the batteries, and try the remote  
again. Reprogramming will be required.

Problem: The remote is not performing commands properly.  
You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing  
the corresponding component key (TV, VCR, DVDAUX,  
or DBSCABLE) so the remote knows which component  
you want to operate.  
• Make sure component is “ready” (e.g., DVD player  
has disc loaded; VCR has tape loaded, etc.).  
You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode the  
remote is in (for example, REC only works in VCR mode).  
• If you’re trying to turn on an RCA, GE or PROSCAN  
component, press the component key (TV, VCR,  
DVDAUX, or DBSCABLE) instead of the ONOFF key.  
• If operating a VCR to record, you must press the REC  
key two times.  
• If you’re trying to change channels, try pressing the  
ENTER 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 component features (e.g., only  
turns a component on and off). Follow the steps provided  
for programming the remote (See Programming Sections  
on pages 5-7). If the component can be turned on and off,  
make sure you press the CHAN UP/DOWN key to see if the  
component responds. If not, try the next code from the list.  
Problem: The VCR won’t record.  
• As a safety feature, you must press the REC key  
twice to begin recording.  
• Make sure the tape is properly loaded in the VCR.  
• Make sure the tape is not write-protected. If the safety  
tab is removed the tape is write-protected and you cannot  
record onto that tape.  
Problem: The remote will not change channels.  
You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing  
the corresponding component key (TV, VCR, DVDAUX,  
or DBSCABLE) so the remote knows which component  
you want to operate.  
• Press the ENTER key after you enter a channel number.  
Problem: The component’s menu doesn’t appear on  
the TV screen.  
• The TV must be tuned to the Video Input that matches the  
manner in which you connected the component to the TV.  
For example, if you connected your DVD player to your  
TV by connecting audio/video cables (usually color-  
coded yellow, red, and white) to the TV’s Input 1 jack,  
you must tune the TV to its Video Input 1 channel.  
Remember, different manufacturers label these jacks  
differently. Consult the instruction manual that came  
with the TV for more information.  
You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing  
the corresponding component key (TV, VCR, DVDAUX,  
or DBSCABLE) so the remote knows which component  
you want to operate.  
• Menu access isn’t supported for all brands. If that’s  
the case, you’ll need to use your original remote control  
to access menu functions for these components.
