RCA RCR SERIES REMOTE CONTROLS

DIRECT CODE ENTRY 

• Manually turn on the component you want the remote to control.
• Find your component’s  four-digit codes.
• Press and hold the component key (TV, VCR•DVD, SAT•CBL) you wish to program. The illuminated ON•OFF key turns on and remains on. If you release the component key at any time during the Direct Code Entry procedure, the illuminated ON•OFF key blinks four times, and the process is exited.
• While holding down the component key, consult the Code Lists for the four-digit code that corresponds to your component’s brand and use the number keys (0-9) on the keypad to enter it. While you are pressing the numbers, the illuminated ON•OFF key turns off.
• After the fourth number is entered, the illuminated ON•OFF key turns on. At this time, release the component key. If the illuminated ON•OFF key turns off, you have entered a valid code and have followed the correct procedure for Direct Code Entry.  If you enter a code number that is not in the Code Lists or you do not follow all of the steps for Direct Code Entry, the illuminated ON•OFF key blinks four times when the component key is released. This is an indication that a programming error has occurred. In that case, repeat the Direct Code Entry process from step 3.
• To confirm that the component key is programmed with the correct code for maximum functionality, test the component. Attempt to control a variety of the component’s functions with the remote. If some of the features of your components do not work, try programming the remote with a different code in the list until you find the code that allows the remote to control the majority of your component’s functions. Different codes can provide different levels of functionality.

MANUAL CODE SEARCH AND ENTRY

• If your component’s brand isn’t listed in the Code Lists, or if you have tried all of the codes for your brand and the remote does not operate your component, try one of the Code Search methods below—Manual Code Search or Auto Code Search.  Both Code Search methods cycle through all of the codes in the Code Lists in the event that your component’s code is listed under another brand.
• The Manual and Auto Code Search methods may take a long time because the remote searches through all of the codes in its memory for the code that operates your component. Therefore, if your brand is listed in the Brand Codes or the Code Lists, first try the Brand Code Search or the Direct Code Entry methods.
• Tip: To exit without saving at any point in the Manual Code Search, press and release the GO BACK key.
• Step-1

Manually turn on the component you want the remote to control.  {Note: If you press an invalid key during the Manual Code Search, the remote does not respond and the search times out after two minutes. When the search times out, the illuminated ON•OFF key blinks four times and turns off. The last programmed code under that component key is retained.}

• Step-2

If you are programming the remote to control your TV, satellite receiver or cable box, go directly to step 4.

• Step-3

To program the remote to control a VCR or DVD. The VCR•DVD key can control only one component, either your VCR or your DVD. To program your remote to control either your DVD or your VCR, you must first put the remote in the proper programming mode. Follow these directions before proceeding to step 4.

(a)   Press and hold the VCR•DVD key. The illuminated ON•OFF key turns on.

(b)   While holding down the VCR•DVD key, press and release the number 2 key on the keypad to control a VCR or the number 3 key to control a DVD. The illuminated ON•OFF key turns off.

(c)   Release the VCR•DVD key. The illuminated ON•OFF key blinks four times and then turns off. Your remote is now either in VCR or DVD Programming Mode, depending on which you chose. Proceed to step 4.

• Step-4

Press and hold the component key (TV, VCR•DVD, SAT•CBL) you wish to program. The illuminated ON•OFF key turns on and remains on.

• Step-5

While holding the component key down, press and hold the ON•OFF key. The illuminated ON•OFF key turns off.

• Step-6

After holding down both keys for three seconds, the illuminated ON•OFF key turns back on.

• Step-7

Release both keys. The illuminated ON•OFF key remains on. {Tip: Throughout the programming of each key, be sure to keep the remote pointed at the IR sensor of the component you are currently programming the remote to control}

• Step-8

Press and release the ON•OFF key repeatedly, waiting 4 seconds between each key press, until your component turns off. Each time you press the ON•OFF key, the illuminated ON•OFF key blinks, and the next code is sent. This process continues until all of the codes in the Code Lists have been searched. If your component turns off, you have found the correct code. (If it cycles through and the illuminated ON•OFF key blinks four times and turns off, all codes have been searched. The Manual Code Search method is exited.).

• Step-9

Once your component turns off, you have found the correct code. You must save the new code by pressing and releasing the STOP key. The illuminated ON•OFF key turns off. You must press the STOP key to save the code or the correct code will not be stored.
