CoHnections Setup
Things to Consider Before You Connect
Protect Against Power Surges
• Connect all components before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet.
•Turnoff the 1Vand/or component before you connect or disconnect any cables.
• Make sureall antennas and cables areproperly grounded. Referto the Important Safety Instructions on page 1.
Protect Components from Overheating
•Don't block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.
• Don't stack components.
• When you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.
• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it won't flow around
other components.
Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference
•Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.
• If you place components above the IV, route all cables down the side of the back of the IV instead of straight
down the middle of the IV.
• If your antenna uses 3OO-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin lead cables away from
audio/video cables.
Important Stand and Base Safety Information
Choose the location for your IV carefully. Place the IV on a stand or base that is of adequate size and strength to
prevent the IV from being accidentally tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off. This could cause personal injury and/or
damage the IV. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions on page 1.

Programming the Remote to Operate Other Components
The universal remote can be programmed to operate most brands of remote controllable
components. The remote is already programmed to operate most RCA, GE, and Proscan
components.
Also, the AUX button can be programmed to operate most brands of an additional remote-
controllable component.
Note:TheTVbutton can"tbeprogrammedon thisremote.
Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote
To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed for your component, turn
the component ON. For example, to program the remote for a VCR, turn on the VCR. Point the
remote at the VCR, and press the VCR1 button. Then press ONeOFF or CH + (channel up) or CH -
(channel down) to see if the VCR responds to the remote commands. If the component does not
respond, the remote needs to be programmed.
Programming the Remote
There are two ways to program the remote control:
• automatic codesearch
• direct entry
REVERSE PLAY
STOP
You'll use these buttons when you program
the remote.

Using Automatic Code Search
The following instructions can be used to program the remote to operate each of your
components. If you want to stop the automatic code search without programming any of your
components, press CLEAR until the indicator on the remote turns off.
1. Turn on the component you want to operate (VCR, DVD player, etc.)
2. Press and hold the component button you want to program (VCRI, DVD, etc.). While holding
the component button, press and hold ONoOFE until the indicator on the remote turns on,
then release both buttons.
3. Point the remote at the component. Press and release PLAY,then wait 5 seconds or until the
indicator on the remote stops flashing.
At this point the remote is searching for the correct code to program. If, after 5 seconds, the
component you want to operate does not turn off, press PLAY again to tell the remote to
search the next set of codes.
Continue pressing PLAYuntil the component turns off or you have searched through all of
the codes. There are 20 total sets of codes, if the component does not turn off after pressing
PLAY 20 times, then the remote can't be programmed to operate that component.
If the component you want to control does turn off:
1. Press and release REVERSE,then wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step until the device turns back
ON.
2. To finish, press and hold STOP until the indicator on the remote turns off.

3. Point the remote at the component.
4. Press and hold the component button you want to program on the remote.
5. Enter the 4-digit code from the remote control code list on the following pages. If the

6. Release the component button, and then press ON*OFF to see if the component responds to
the command. If it doesn't, try pressing the component button and then ON*OFF again.
* If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your brand, until the
component responds to the remote commands.
Note
Someof theremote'sbuttons might operate differently for
other components,especially when you'reusinganother
eomponent'smenusystem.
* If you try all the codes for your component brand and none work, try the automatic code
search method. If automatic code search doesn't find the code, the remote is not compatible
with your component.
How to Use the Remote After You've Programmed It
Because this universal remote can control several different components (W, DVD, VCR,satellite
receiver, etc.) it uses operational modes triggered by the component buttons. For example, if you
want the remote to control the TV, you would press the W button to put the remote into _[V
mode before you could control the TV.
I. Press the appropriate component button (DVD, W, VCRI, VCR2, SAT*CABLE, AUX) to set the
remote to control the component.
2. Press ON*OFF to turn the component ON or OFE
3. Use the remote buttons that apply to that component.
