lists or missed a step in the code entry procedure. Try
step 3 again.
In most cases, the keys on
this remote perform the
same functions as the keys
on your original remotes
once you’ve programmed
this remote to operate your
devices. Many keys on this
remote have other functions
as well.
Device keys (TV,
SAT•CBL•STRM, DVD•VCR,
DVR•AUX) put the remote
in the right mode to control
your device.
GUIDE•HOME and MENU
access the same features
as the keys on your original
remotes.
Arrow keys act as
navigation keys for
streaming media players as
well as in menu and guide
systems for other devices.
CLEAR exits remote
programming; it also
performs the same
functions as on your
original remotes.
CHAN and VOL keys act
as channel and volume
controllers.
The INPUT and — (dash)
key has three functions: (1)
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 sub-channel
number (such as 59.1).
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.
Congratulations on your purchase of this 4-device RCA
Universal Remote Control. This remote features a library
of codes with the latest devices of all major brands, with
support for streaming media players as well. The navigation
keys have been redesigned to function seamlessly with the
more sophisticated menu and guide systems found in today’s
home entertainment devices.

To use this universal remote with your home entertainment
system, fi rst you need to program it to control your devices.
There are four ways you can program the universal remote
to operate your devices. Try them in the order listed here:
• The Brand Code Search searches through the codes
for select brands of devices.
• The Direct Code Entry lets you enter a code from the
accompanying code list for your brand of device.
• The Auto Code Search goes automatically through all
the codes for the device you’re trying to control.
• The Manual Code Search lets you manually go
through all the codes for the device you’re trying to
control.
Auto Code Search
The Auto Code Search goes automatically through all the
codes for the device you’re trying to control. When you fi nd
the one that operates your device, you can stop the search
and store that code.
TIPS: Each device key is associated with a type
of device—the TV is preset to search for TVs,
SAT•CBL•STRM for satellite receivers, cable boxes
or digital TV converters or streaming media players,
DVD•VCR for DVD players, and DVR•AUX for DVRs. To
program a device key for a different type of device, see
the Changing a Key’s Device Type section.
To exit without saving a new code at any point in the
Auto Code Search, press the CLEAR key.
1. Manually turn on the device you
want to control.
2. Press and hold the device key you want to program.
While you’re holding down the device key, use your

to try a different 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.
3. Once the unit turns back on, press the REVERSE key
on the remote every 2 seconds until your device turns
off again. When your device turns off again, press the
STOP key.
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.
Did your device turn off?
YES: Go to step 5.
NO: Press PLAY again. The remote tests the next batch
of 10 codes.
Keep pressing PLAY every 5 seconds until your device
turns off.
5. When your device turns off,
press the REVERSE key on
the remote and wait at least 2
seconds. The remote tries the
last of the previous ten codes.

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.
During the Auto Code Search, the remote ignores
keypresses that aren’t part of the search.
The search times out after two minutes (the POWER key
blinks four times and turns off, and the last programmed
code under that device key is retained).
The POWER key blinks four times and turns off when the
remote has gone through all the codes. The remote exits
the Auto Code Search. If your device hasn’t turned off
yet, try a different search method.
Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality
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.
2. Repeat the Brand Code Search from the beginning.
When the device turns off for the fi rst time, don’t
press the STOP key, which would store the same code.
Instead, with the unit now off, continue to press the
POWER key repeatedly until the unit turns back on.
3. Once the unit turns back on, you have found another
code that operates the device. Press the STOP key.
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.
Brand Code Search
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.
TIPS: Each device key is associated with a type
of device—the TV is preset to search for TVs,
SAT•CBL•STRM for satellite receivers, cable boxes
or digital TV converters or streaming media players,
DVD•VCR for DVD players, and DVR•AUX for DVRs. To
program a device key for a different type of device, see
the Changing a Key’s Device Type section.

and the process is exited. The last programmed code
under the device key is retained.
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 in the list.
Manual Code Search
The Manual Code Search lets you go one-by-one through
all the codes for the device you’re trying to control. When
you fi nd the one that operates your device, you can stop the
search and store that code.
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, fi rst try the Brand
Code Search or the Direct Code Entry method.
Each device key is associated with a type of device—the
TV is preset to search for TVs, SAT•CBL•STRM for
satellite receivers, cable boxes or digital TV converters
or streaming media players, DVD•VCR for DVD players,

remote pointed at the IR sensor of the device you are
programming the remote to control.
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.
During the Manual Code Search, the remote ignores
keypresses that aren’t part of the search.
The search times out after two minutes (the POWER key
blinks four times and turns off, and the last programmed
code under that device key is retained).
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.
Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality
1. Try a variety of the device’s functions with the remote.

3. Release the DVR•AUX key. The POWER key blinks four
times and then turns off. The DVR•AUX key is now set
to control the device type you selected.
4. Follow the directions in the auto, brand, direct entry, or
manual code search to program the DVR•AUX key.
Code Retrieval
Once you’ve programmed the remote to control your
devices, you may want to record the codes for future
reference. If you used the Direct Code Entry method, this
is easy. Just fi nd the codes you entered and make a note
of them in the boxes below. If you used one of the Code
Search methods to program your remote or if you used the
Direct Entry method but don’t remember the code, you will
need to retrieve each device’s fi ve-digit code. Retrieving
the actual code and writing it down will save you time
if you ever need to program the remote again (e.g., if
programming is lost when you change the batteries). If the
codes are recorded, you can use the Direct Entry method
to reprogram your remote to control your devices, which is
quick and easy.
1. Press and hold the device
key (TV, SAT•CBL•STRM,
DVD•VCR, DVR•AUX) whose
code you wish to retrieve.
The POWER key turns on.
Keep pressing the device key.
2. While holding the device key down, press and hold
the INFO key. The POWER key turns off. After holding
down both keys for three seconds, the POWER key
turns back on.
3. Release both keys. The POWER key remains on.
4. Starting with the number 1 key, press and release each
number key on the keypad in the following order: 1-9,
then 0. The number that causes the POWER key to
blink is the fi rst number of the code. As you fi nd each
number of the code, write it down for future reference.
Note: All TV codes begin with the number 1; all VCR
and DVR codes begin with the number 2; all DVDs, the
number 3; and all satellite receivers, digital TV converters
or streaming media players, and cable boxes, the number
5.
5. Repeat step 4 until you have retrieved all fi ve numbers
in the code. After the fourth number is retrieved, the
POWER key blinks briefl y, then turns off.
TIP: To exit the Code Retrieval Mode at any time, press
the CLEAR key.
Note: If you press an invalid key during the Code
Retrieval process, the remote will not respond. If you do
not press a valid Code Retrieval key (TV, SAT•CBL•STRM,
DVD•VCR, DVR•AUX, INFO, CLEAR), Code Retrieval times
out after 15 seconds. The POWER key blinks four times,
and then turns off.
IMPORTANT
Because this remote controls more than one device,
you must fi rst “tell” the remote which device you wish
to operate. That means, if you wish to operate your TV,
you must fi rst press the TV key to put the remote in the
TV Mode. The remote stays in that device mode until
you press a different device key. For example, if your
remote is in TV Mode and you want to operate the DVD
player, you must press the DVD key to change device
modes.
Problem: The remote does not operate your device.
• Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing the
corresponding device key (TV, SAT•CBL•STRM, DVD•VCR,
DVR•AUX). This tells the remote which device to operate.
• Remove any obstacles between the remote and the device.
Make sure you’re aiming the remote at the device’s IR
sensor.
• Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed.
Replace the batteries with two new AAA batteries, if
necessary (see the Battery Installation section).
Problem: The remote can’t be programmed to operate
your device.
• If you are testing the remote while programming it, you may
be too far away from the device or at a wrong angle. There
must be an unobstructed path between the remote and the IR
sensor on the device. Move closer and make sure you point the
remote at the device you’re trying to control.
• If you’re using the Direct Entry programming method
to enter the codes for your brand and the unit is still not
functioning properly, try the auto, brand, or manual search
method.
• To control combo units, like TV/VCRs or TV/DVDs, you must
program the individual corresponding device keys to control
each part of the combo unit. Once programmed successfully,
the TV key controls the TV functions, and the DVD•VCR key
controls the VCR or DVD functions.
• Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed.
Problem: The remote doesn’t perform commands properly.
• Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing the
corresponding device key (TV, SAT•CBL•STRM, DVD•VCR,
DVR•AUX). This tells the remote which device to operate.
• Make sure device is ready (for example, the DVD player has
a disc loaded).
• You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode the remote is
in.
• If you’re trying to enter a channel number directly, try
pressing the OK key after entering the channel number as
this is a requirement of certain models and brands.
• There is a possibility that a programmed code may only be
able to control some of your device features (for example,
only turns a device on and off). To confi rm that the device
key is programmed with the correct code for maximum
functionality, test the device. Attempt to control a variety
of the device’s functions with the remote. If some of the
features of your devices don’t work, try programming the
remote with a different code in the list using the Direct Code
Entry Method, until you fi nd the code that allows the remote
to control the majority of your device’s functions. Different
codes can provide different levels of functionality.
Problem: The POWER key does not light when you press a
key.
• You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode the
remote is in.
• Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing the
corresponding device key (TV, SAT•CBL•STRM, DVD•VCR,
DVR•AUX). This tells the remote which device to operate.
• Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed.
Replace the batteries with two new AAA batteries, if
necessary (see the Battery Installation section).
Problem: The remote will not change channels on device.
• Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing the
corresponding device key (TV, SAT•CBL•STRM, DVD•VCR,
DVR•AUX). This tells the remote which device to operate.
• Press the OK key after you enter a channel number.
• Remove any obstacles between the remote and the device.
Make sure to aim the remote at the IR sensor on the device.
Problem: The device’s menu does not appear on the TV
screen.
• Make sure you have connected the device to your TV properly
and selected the correct input. (See your devices’ Owner’s
Manuals for proper connection procedures.)
• Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing the
corresponding device key (TV, SAT•CBL•STRM, DVD•VCR,
DVR•AUX). This tells the remote which device to operate.
• Menu access isn’t supported for all brands. You may need to
use your original remote control to access menu functions
for some devices.
