Universal Remote
Congratulations on your purchase of this advanced universal remote, which has the capacity to control
multiple components. You can program your RCA brand universal remote to operate most models of
most brands of infrared, remote-controlled components manufactured after 1990.
(See the enclosed Code Lists for a complete list of brands.)
Your universal remote is already programmed to operate most RCA, GE and PROSCAN
! TIP:
branded TVs, VCRs, DVD players and satellite receivers. Just press the corresponding key-DVD key for
a DVD player; TV key for a television; SAT·CBL for a satellite receiver or a cable box; etc.

Battery Installation and Information

Your universal remote requires two AA Alkaline batteries (batteries may or may not be included,
depending on model). To install the batteries:
1. Remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert the batteries, matching the batteries to the (+) and (-) marks inside the
battery compartment.
3. Press and push the battery cover back into place.
Note: Reprogramming may be required after batteries are replaced.

Battery Saver

Your universal remote control saves battery power by automatically turning off if any key is pressed
for more than 60 seconds.

Backlighting

Backlight illumination (available on select models only) enables you to see
the remote control keys better in the dark. Backlight illumination is toggled
on or off with successive keypresses of the LIGHT key. When toggled on, the
backlighting remains on as long as keys are being pressed. The backlighting
turns off six seconds after the last keypress. Once the backlight time has
expired, any keypress reactivates backlighting. If the backlight illumination is
on, and the LIGHT key is pressed, the backlight turns off.
Illuminated ON·OFF Key
The ON·OFF key powers components on and off. It also lights up to serve
as an indicator light, providing feedback for various functions. When a valid
key is pressed, the illuminated ON·OFF key remains lit as long as the key is
pressed and turns off when the key is released. The ON·OFF key also blinks in
Programming mode or in Menu mode to provide feedback.

Double Off Function

The Double Off function transmits a sequence of POWER OFF commands to turn off all RCA
components. This feature is specific to RCA products and does not work with other brands. To activate
this feature, press the illuminated ON·OFF key twice within a two-second window. At the second
keypress, all RCA components turn off.
