RCA RCR 350 - PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE




THIS IS A THREE COMPONENT UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL.

PROGRAMMING METHOD

DIRECT CODE ENTRY

To program your universal remote to control your components using the Direct Code Entry Method, follow the steps below.
  • Manually turn on the component you want the remote to control (TV, VCR, DVD, satellite receiver or cable box).
  • Locate Code from list.  Find the list for the component you wish to program. Find your component’s brand. You will see a listing of four-digit codes for each brand. If your brand isn’t listed, use the Manual Code Search method to program the remote control.
  • Press and hold the component key (TV, VCR·DVD, SAT·CBL) you wish to program. The LED indicator light turns on and remains on. If you release the component key any time during the Direct Code Entry procedure, the LED indicator light 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.
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 the Manual Code Search. This Code Search method cycles through all of the codes in the Code Lists in the event that your component’s code is listed under another brand.  The Manual Code Search method 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 Code Lists, first try the Direct Code Entry method.

TESTING A CODE FOR MAXIMUM FUNCTIONALITY
  • Once the code has been stored (see Manual Code Search and Entry Method above), use the remote to attempt to control a variety of the component’s functions. If the code that has been stored controls the majority of the component’s functions, programming is complete. If the code stored does not give maximum functionality, you will want to try another code.
  • In that case, repeat the Manual Code Search and Entry Method from step 1. When the component turns off for the first time, do not press the STOP key, which would store the code. Instead, with the unit now off, continue to press the ON·OFF key repeatedly until the unit turns back on. Once the unit turns back on, you have found another code that operates the component. Press the STOP key.
  • Test the functionality again by attempting to control a variety of the component’s functions. If the code that has been stored controls the majority of the component’s functions, programming is complete. If the code stored does not give maximum functionality, you will want to try another code.
  • Repeat the Manual Code Search and Entry Method from step 1. Each time a code turns the component on or off, you have found a code that operates the remote and needs to be tested for maximum functionality. Continue through the code lists, cycling through the codes you have already tried, until you find one that offers maximum functionality.
  • Because this remote controls more than one component, you must first “tell” the remote which component you wish to operate. That means, if you wish to operate your TV, you must first press the TV key to put the remote in the TV Mode.
  • The remote stays in the chosen component mode (such as TV Mode) until you change it. If your remote is in TV Mode, you must change the mode in order to operate your DVD or VCR, satellite receiver or cable box. For example, if you are in VCR 
  • Mode, and you wish to turn off your TV, you must press the TV key first before pressing the ON·OFF key.
