TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM: Mode key does not blink when you press a key.
SOLUTION: Replace the batteries with two (2) new AA
alkaline batteries (see page 8).
PROBLEM: Mode key blinks when you press a key, but
home entertainment device does not respond.
SOLUTION: Make sure you are aiming the remote control
at your home entertainment device and that
you are within 15-feet of the device you are
trying to control.
PROBLEM: The remote control does not control home
entertainment devices or commands are not
performing properly.
SOLUTION: Try all listed codes for the device brand being
set up. Make sure all devices can be operated
with an infrared remote control.
PROBLEM: TV/VCR combo does not respond properly.
SOLUTION: Use the VCR codes for your brand. Some
combo units may require both a TV code and
a VCR code for full operation (see page 10).
PROBLEM: No volume on a second TV.
SOLUTION: Follow instructions in Changing Volume
Lock
(see previous page).
PROBLEM: CH+ , CH – , and LAST do not work for your
RCA TV.
SOLUTION: Due to RCA design (1983–1987), only the
original remote control will operate these
functions.
PROBLEM: Changing channels does not work properly.
SOLUTION: If original remote control required pressing
ENTER to change channels, press ENTER on
the remote control after entering a channel
number.
PROBLEM: Tried “Search For Your Code” and still could
not find a working code.
SOLUTION: Try the “Search For Your Code” again after
clearing out the device key as follows: Press
and hold SETUP until mode key blinks twice,
then release. Next enter 9 - 9 - 2. Then press
and release the mode key to be cleared twice.
