The Brand Code Search goes through only the codes for one of
the select brands listed in the accompanying code list. If your
brand of device is listed, this search can be very quick and easy.

YES: Go to step 5.
Throughout the programming of each key, be sure to keep
the remote pointed at the IR sensor of the device you are
currently programming the remote to control.
While you’re holding down the device key, use your other
hand enter the first five-digit code for your brand in the
code list (the POWER key turns off after the first digit).
NO: Press PLAY again. The remote tests the next batch of
10 codes.
To use this universal remote with your home entertainment
system, first you need to program it to control your devices.
There are four ways you can program the universal remote to
operate your devices:
Test the remote with the device to make sure the device
key is programmed with the correct code for maximum
functionality. If some features don’t work, try a different
code. See the “Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality”
section below for more information.
Keep pressing PLAY every 5 seconds until your device turns
off.
TIPS: Each device key is associated with a type of
device—the TV is preset to search for TVs, SAT•CBL•DTC for
satellite receivers, cable boxes or digital TV converters, and
DVD•VCR for DVD players. To program the DVD•VCR key
to control a PVR or VCR, see the Reassigning the DVD•VCR
Key to Control a VCR section.

The Auto Code Search goes automatically through all the
codes for the device you’re trying to control. It’s the easiest
method, but it can sometimes take longer than some of the
other programming methods.

The Brand Code Search searches through the codes for
select brands of devices. It’s not as easy as the auto code

The POWER key blinks four times and turns off when the
remote has gone through all the codes. The remote exits the
Brand Code Search. If your device hasn’t turned off yet, try a
different search method.
The Direct Code Entry lets you enter a code from the
accompanying code list for your brand of device. It’s not as
easy as the other methods, but it’s potentially the fastest
method.
1. Manually turn on the device you
want to control.
NO: Press REVERSE again. The remote tests the next
code in the batch.
SAVE THIS MANUAL AND THE CODE LISTS!
Remote controls can sometimes lose their programming
when you change the batteries. Make sure you keep the
manual and code lists in a safe place so that you can
reprogram the remote if you need to.

Tip: This remote is already programmed to operate most
RCA-branded TVs, DVD players, and satellite receivers.
Just press the corresponding key—DVD•VCR for a DVD
player, TV for a television, SAT•CBL•DTC for a satellite
receiver.
Auto Code Search
1. Try a variety of the device’s functions with the remote. If
some device features don’t work, go to the next step to try
a different code.

in the list.
4. Test the key’s functionality again by attempting to control
a variety of the device’s functions. If the code that has
been stored controls the majority of the device’s functions,
programming is complete. If the code stored does not give
maximum functionality, try another code.

Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
1. Try a variety of the device’s functions with the remote. If
some device features don’t work, go to the next step to try
a different code.
• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or
rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.
• Always remove old, weak or worn-out batteries promptly
and recycle or dispose of them in accordance with Local
and National Regulations.
Manual Code Search
Note: For single-digit brand codes,
press the 0 key first (for example, 0-5
for 5).
The Manual Code Search lets you go one-by-one through all the
codes for the device you’re trying to control. When you find the
one that operates your device, you can stop the search and store
that code.
2. Repeat the Auto Code Search Method from the beginning.
When your device turns off, do not stop searching.
Instead, with the unit now off, continue to press the PLAY
key every 5 seconds until the unit turns back on.
6. Point the remote directly at the
front panel of the device you want
to control. Press POWER on the
remote and wait 2 seconds. The
remote is testing a single code for
your device’s brand.
TIPS: The Manual Code Search method may take a long time
because the remote searches through all of the codes in
its memory one-by-one. If your brand is listed in the Brand
Codes or the Code Lists, first try the Brand Code Search or
the Direct Code Entry method.
