Operating A TVNCR Combo Unit
Some TV/VCR combination units may be controlled by using a
combination of TV and VCR codes. For example, the Samsung
TV /VCR combo unit may be controlled by both the Samsung TV
code and the Samsung VCR code.
Special Operations
RCA, GE and PROSCAN Brand Devices:
Many of these devices (TVs and VCRs) will not need to be pro-
grammed. In the event that programming is required,
the code search method is suggested.
Note:
With these brands, the device button (TV, VCR) will
usually tum the units on. The OFF/ON button will only
tum these devices off.
SCIENTIFIC
ATLANTIC Cable Boxes:
This
brand of cable box can be programmed using the code search
method by using the CHANNEL UP key rather than OFF/ON during
Code Search. NOTE: The device must be turned on prior to beginning
the code search. Once the device turns off, press and release ENTER.
In most cases this cable box can be turned on and off using the
CHANNEL UP key not the OFF/ON button. If the unit will not tum
on using the CHANNEL UP key, then manually tum it on and
only partial compatibility will be achieved.
JERROLD or GENERAL INSTRUMENTS Cable Boxes:
These units
can be programmed using the code search method.
In some cases, these devices will change channels during the
code search. Continue until the unit turns off, then press
and release ENTER.
ZENITH and OAK Cable Boxes:
Some Zenith and Oak Cable Boxes require pressing CHANNEL
DOWN rather than ENTER after numeric entry.

When your batteries are weak, the device keys will light sequentially
