Makesure to aim the remote at the IR sensor on the component.• Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed. (See BatteryInstallation on page 1.) Replace the batteries with two new AA batteries,if necessary. Reprogramming may be required.• Reset the remote. Remove the batteries, then press and hold the number1 key on the remote for several seconds to reset the microprocessorinside the remote. Release the number 1 key, reinstall the batteries, andpress the ON·OFF key. If the ON·OFF indicator lights up, reprogramthe remote and try again. If it doesn’t light up, replace the batteries withnew ones.Problem: The remote can’t be programmed to operate yourcomponent.• If you are testing the remote after you have entered the code, you maybe too far away from the component or at a wrong angle. This remoteuses IR (infrared) technology to communicate with components. Theremote sends the code, and the component’s IR sensor reads the code.Therefore, there must be an unobstructed path between the remoteand the IR sensor on the component. Move closer and make sure youpoint the remote at the component (DVD player when programmingthe DVD key; TV when programming the TV key; satellite or cable boxwhen programming the SAT·CBL key, VCR or auxiliary componentwhen programming the VCR·AUX key).• If you’ve used the Direct Entry programming methods to enter thecodes for your brand and the unit is still not functioning properly, tryone of the Code Search methods. (See Code Search on pages 2-4.)• To control combo units, like TV/VCRs, TV/DVDs or TV/VCR/DVDs,you must program the individual corresponding component keys tocontrol each part of the combo unit. Once programmed successfully,the TV key controls the TV functions on your unit, and the VCR·AUXor DVD key controls the VCR or DVD functions, respectively. There isa specific section in the Code Lists for combo units. The codes in thissection should be tried first using Direct Code Entry on the TV and DVDor VCR·AUX keys. If this is unsuccessful, follow the normal programmingmethods for both the TV and the DVD or VCR·AUX keys.• Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed.Problem: The remote is not performing commands properly.• You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing thecorresponding component key (TV, DVD, VCR·AUX, SAT·CBL) so theremote 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.• If you’re trying to turn on an RCA, GE or PROSCAN component,press the component key (TV, DVD, VCR·AUX, SAT·CBL) instead ofthe ON·OFF key.• If you’re trying to change channels, try pressing the OK key afterentering the channel number as this is a requirement of certain modelsand brands.• There is a possibility that a programmed code may only be able tocontrol some of your component features (e.g., only turns a componenton and off). To confirm that the component key is programmed withthe correct code for maximum functionality, test the component.Attempt to control a variety of the component’s functions with theremote. If some of the features of your components do not work,try programming the remote with a different code in the list usingthe Direct Code Entry Method, until you find the code that allowsthe remote to control the majority of your component’s functions.Different codes can provide different levels of functionality.Problem: The component name does not light when youpress a key.• You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode the remote is in. Youmust put the remote in the correct mode by pressing the correspondingcomponent key (TV, DVD, VCR·AUX, SAT·CBL) so the remote knowswhich component you want to operate.• Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed. (See BatteryInstallation on page 1.) Replace the batteries with two new AA batteries,if necessary. Reprogramming may be required.Problem: The VCR won’t record.• Make sure the remote is in VCR Mode.• Make sure the tape is properly loaded in the VCR.• Make sure the tape is not write-protected. If the safety tab is removedthe tape is write-protected, and you cannot record onto that tape.Problem: The remote will not change channels on yourcomponent.• You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing thecorresponding component key (TV, DVD, VCR·AUX, SAT·CBL) so theremote knows which component you want to operate.• Press the OK key after you enter a channel number.• Remove any obstacles between the remote and the component. Makesure to aim the remote at the IR sensor on the component.Problem: The component’s menu doesn’t appear on the TVscreen.• Make sure you have connected your component to your TV properlyand selected the correct input. (See your components’ Owner’s Manualsfor proper connection procedures.)• You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing thecorresponding component key (TV, DVD, VCR·AUX, SAT·CBL) so theremote knows which component you want to operate.• Menu access isn’t supported for all brands. If that’s the case, you’ll needto use your original remote control to access menu functions for thesecomponents.For more information, please visit www.rca.com.
