Troubleshooting
Problem: The remote does not operate your component.
• You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing the
corresponding component key (TV, SAT·CBL, DVD•VCR) so the
remote knows which component you want to operate.
• Remove any obstacles between the remote and the component.
Make sure to aim the remote at the IR sensor on the component.
• Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed.
(See Battery Installation on page 1.) Replace the batteries with
two new AAA batteries, if necessary. Reprogramming may be
required.
• Reset the remote. Remove the batteries, then press and hold
the number 1 key on the remote for several seconds to reset the
microprocessor inside the remote. Release the number 1 key,
reinstall the batteries, and press the POWER key. If the LED
lights up, reprogram the remote and try again. If the LED doesn’t
light up, replace the batteries with new ones.
Problem: The remote can’t be programmed to operate
your component.
• If you are testing the remote after you have entered the code, you
may be too far away from the component or at a wrong angle.
This remote uses IR (infrared) technology to communicate with
components. The remote sends the code, and the component’s
IR sensor reads the code. Therefore, there must be an
unobstructed path between the remote and the IR sensor on the
component. Move closer and make sure you point the remote at
the component (DVD player, VCR, or DVR when programming
the DVD•VCR key; TV when programming the TV key; satellite
or cable box when programming the SAT·CBL key).
• If you’ve used the Direct Entry programming methods to enter
the codes for your brand and the unit is still not functioning
properly, try one of the Code Search methods. (See pages 3–5.)
• To control combo units, like TV/VCRs or TV/DVDs, you must
program the individual corresponding component 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. There is a specific
section in the Code Lists for combo units. The codes in this
section should be tried first using Direct Code Entry on the TV
and DVD•VCR keys. If this is unsuccessful, follow the normal
programming methods for both the TV and the DVD•VCR keys.
• Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed.
Problem: The remote doesn’t perform commands properly.
• You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing the
corresponding component key (TV, SAT·CBL, DVD•VCR) so the
remote knows which component you want to operate.
• Make sure component is “ready” (e.g., DVD player has disc
loaded; VCR has tape loaded, etc.).
• You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode the remote is
in.
• If you’re trying to turn on an RCA, GE, or PROSCAN
component, press the component key (TV, SAT·CBL,
DVD•VCR) instead of the POWER key.
• If you’re trying to enter a channel number directly, try pressing
the ENTER 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 component features (e.g., only turns a
component on and off). 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 using the Direct Code Entry
Method, 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.
Problem: The LED does not light when you press a key.
• You may have pressed an invalid key for the mode the remote is
in. You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing the
corresponding component key (TV, SAT·CBL, DVD•VCR) so the
remote knows which component you want to operate.
