Universal Remote Control
Your RCA Universal Remote Control is capable of operating
most RCA audio and video equipment. To use the remote
control effectively, always aim it directly at your receiver.
The remote control operates on four batteries, included with
your system. Install them before attempting to operate the
remote. Be sure to match the + and - ends of each battery to
the symbols shown in the remote’s battery compartment.
