Troubleshooting the RCA RCU400 or RCU400SG SystemLink4 Universal Remote Control
Why isn't the RCU400 remote operating my component?	You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing the corresponding component key so the remote knows which component you want to operate. Make sure the batteries are fresh and properly installed. Make sure you have tried all the codes listed for your brand of component. Try the Code Search method to program your remote. 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 you are trying to operate.
Why won't the RCU400 operate my Combo Unit?	Use TV or VCR codes listed for your brand to operate your TV /VCR combo unit.
Why isn't the RCU400 remote performing commands properly?	You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing the corresponding component key 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. Start Code Search over again to locate the proper code.
Why won't the VCR record using the RCU400 remote?	As a safety feature, you must press the RECORD key twice to begin recording. Make sure the tape is properly loaded in the VCR. Make sure the tape is not write-protected. If the safety tab is removed, the tape is write protected and you cannot record onto that tape.
Why won't the RCU400 remote change channels on my component?	You must put the remote in the correct mode by pressing the corresponding component key so the remote knows which component you want to operate. If your original remote required ENTER after a channel, press ENTER after you select a channel.
How do I reset my RCU400?	Remove the batteries Press and hold down the #1 button on the keypad for 60 seconds. Note: You may need to do this 3-5 times to clear the remote. Insert batteries. Begin reprogramming. Note: After resetting the remote control, reprogramming is required.
