Key Description ANTENNA In TV Mode, lets you switch the source of the video signal from satellite signals to an off-air antenna or cable signal when using the OUT TO TV jack. In VCR Mode, it functions as a TV/VCR input key. ARROWS Use the navigation arrows to move the on-screen highlight up, down, left, or right. Using the arrows to highlight a menu item is also called “pointing.” CH + (UP)/ - (DOWN) Use to scan up and down through the channels in the current channel list.
Key Description (Continued) LED indicator light This light turns red at each valid key press. When programming the remote control, it flashes or turns on or off to indicate programming status. MENU Displays the Main menu. If you are already in the menu system, press OK or MENU to select a highlighted choice. When you are using the remote control to operate an RCA, GE, or PROSCAN VCR (the remote is in VCR mode), the MENU key functions as a PROGRAM key. MUTE Reduces the TV’s volume to its minimum level.
Programming For TV—Direct Entry Method 1. Manually turn on the TV. 2. Locate the enclosed TV Code List. Find your brand of TV. 3. Press and hold the TV key. 4. Enter a code from the code list. 5. Release the TV key, and then press ON•OFF to see if the TV responds to the remote control commands. If it doesn’t, try pressing the TV key and then ON•OFF again. 6. If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your brand until the TV responds to the remote control commands.
Programming The AUX1 And AUX2 Keys You can assign any one of the following components to the AUX1 or AUX2 keys: A second TV, VCR, DVD, satellite system, cable box, or an audio component. Note: The AUX1 key is pre-programmed with codes to control Dish Network digital satellite receivers. The SAT key is pre-programmed with codes to control RCA DIRECTV digital satellite receivers. If you wish to control a second RCA DIRECTV digital satellite receiver, program the AUX1 or AUX2 key with satellite code 5001.
Using Automatic Code Search The following instructions can be used to program the remote to control the TV, VCR or DVD. If you want to exit the automatic code search without programming any of your components, press the CLEAR key until the LED (red light) turns off. 1. Turn on the component you want to control (TV, VCR or DVD). 2. Press and hold the component key you want to program. While holding the component key, press and hold ON•OFF until the LED on the remote control turns on, then release both keys.
Changing The RF Remote Control Code (Continued) 1. Select Options in the Main menu. 2. Select System Options. 3. Select RF Remote. 4. If you normally use the SAT key on your remote to control your RCA satellite receiver, choose a number between 000 and 255. Follow the on-screen instructions to enter this number as your RF remote control code. However, if you use the AUX1 or AUX2 key, choose a number between 000 and 099.
Troubleshooting Problem: The remote can’t be programmed to operate your component. • You may be too far away from the component or at a wrong angle. This remote uses IR (infrared) technology to communicate with components. The remote sends the code and the component’s IR sensor reads the code. Therefore, there must be an unobstructed path between the remote and the IR sensor on the component.
Troubleshooting (Continued) Problem: The VCR won’t record. • As a safety feature, you must press the RECORD key twice to begin recording. • Make sure the tape is properly loaded in the VCR. Problem: The component’s menu doesn’t appear on the TV screen. • The TV must be tuned to the Video Input that matches the manner in which you connected the component to the TV.
