InstalhgReplacing Batter& ‘T:- Operating
YourRemote
Before attempting to operate your
remote control, install the batteries as
shown below.
1. Turn the remote control face down
and press on the ribbed area of the
battery cover to slide it off.
2. Install four new alkaline “AAA”
batteries in the battery compartment
as shown. Match the + end of each
battery to the + marks in the battery
compartment.
l The remote control produces an
invisible (infrared) beam that travels
in a straight line like the beam of a
flashlight. For this reason, when
operating the remote control, you
must point it directly at the remote
sensor on the component you want to
control. Objects between the remote
and the sensor can block the infrared
light beam.
l Never place anything heavy on top of
the remote control or lay it upside-
down. This may accidentally depress
the buttons for a long time and
discharge the batteries.
l Your remote control is designed to be
very rugged and will withstand a
considerable drop. If it receives an
extreme blow, the case is designed to
slightly separate at the seam rather
than fracture. If this happens, simply
squeeze the case where it separated
until it snaps back together. The
operation of the remote will probably
not be affected.
3. Replace the cover.
l Replace the batteries when your
components fail to respond to the
remote control. You may have to
reprogram the code numbers when
you change batteries. Do not press
any buttons while changing batteries.

Additional Operating Notes
Controlling a Component’s
Function:
Press the correct component button to
tell the remote which component you
want to control. Then press the
desired function button. For example,
to turn the TV on: First hit the TV
button, then the ON/OFF button. Or
to operate the fast forward function of
a VCR, first hit the VCR button, then
the fast forward arrow button.
Number Buttons:
Press two numbers to select channel.
Press a “0” before a single-digit
channel number.
For some TV’s there will be a
2-second delay before the channel will
change.
For other brands of TV’s, you will
need to press the PC/ENTER button
after selecting the two number
buttons.
VCR On/Off Switch:
Some older VCR’s do not have an
ON/OFF switch on their remote
controls and cannot be turned on and
off remotely. If you have this type of
VCR, you can test the code number
by pressing the CHAN button instead
of the ON/OFF button. Make sure the
VCR is alreadv turned on when vou
test the code number.
Controlling Two VCR’s
This remote can control two VCR’s
independently as long as each VCR
operates in a different remote
transmitting code.
Some newer RCA VCR’s are capable
of working on either of two remote
codes. These VCR’s have either a
switch labeled VCRIIVCR2 or an
on-screen display titled REMOTE
VCRlIVCR2. You can then set your
new VCR to respond to the remote’s
VCR2 button and your older VCR to
respond to the VCR1 button.
Some older RCA VCR’s have a
NORM/UNIFIED switch that can also
respond to either the VCR1 or VCR2
button on the remote. Place this
switch in the UNIFIED position for
the VCR to respond to the VCR1 but-
ton or in the NORM position for the
VCR2 button. In the NORM position,
you must program the VCR2 button to
respond to code number 05.
If neither of your VCR’s has
switchable code capability, you may
still be able to use the VCRlIVCR2
feature to control two VCR’s of the
same brand since many older VCR’s
use remote codes that are different
than newer VCR’s, You may want to
experiment to see what works with
your particular VCR’s,
