DVD players and satellite receivers. Just press the corresponding

Battery Installation and Information

Your universal remote requires two AAA alkaline batteries
(batteries may or may not be included, depending on model).

To install the batteries:

1. Press and push the battery

compartment cover to remove it.

2. Insert the batteries, matching the

batteries to the (+) and (–) marks
inside the battery compartment.

3. Push the battery cover back into place.

Note:

If you are replacing batteries, try not to press any buttons after

you’ve taken the old batteries out. Pressing buttons while replacing
batteries causes the remote to lose the devices you’ve programmed. You
will need to program the remote again.

Battery Precautions:

• Do not mix old and new batteries.

• 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.

Battery Saver

Your universal remote control saves battery power by
automatically turning off if any key is pressed for more than
60 seconds. This saves your battery life should your remote
get stuck in a place where the keys remain depressed, such as
between sofa cushions.

The

INPUT

and

— (dash)

key has three functions:

() it toggles through all the video sources
connected to your TV; (2) when the remote is in
VCR mode, this button toggles between VCR and
the TV input; (3) when you’re entering digital
channel numbers directly, this button lets you
separate the main channel number from the
subchannel number

Programming Your Remote

Your universal remote can operate a variety of brands of
components. In order for your universal remote to control your
components, you need to program the remote with the codes
that match the components (See Code Lists enclosed or go to
rca.com/codefinder). These codes enable the remote to
communicate with your components. Each brand and each
component has its own “language,” and, by programming the
correct codes into your remote, you tell the remote to “speak the
same language” as your components.
