Getting Started & General Controls for the RCA RCR313BR Universal Remote

Getting Started with the RCA RCR313BR Universal Remote

Install your Batteries 

Your universal remote requires two AA alkaline batteries (batteries may or may not be included, depending on model).

To install the batteries:

1. Remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert the batteries, matching the batteries to the (+) and (–) marks inside the battery compartment.
3. Push the battery cover back into place.

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.

Tour of the Remote

Once programmed to your components, In most cases, the keys on this remote perform the same functions as the keys on your original remotes. Many keys on this remote have other functions as well.

• Illuminated POWER key serves as an indicator light to provide feedback.
• Device keys (TV, SAT•CBL•STREAM, DVD•VCR) put the remote in the right mode to control your device.
• LIGHT key ( ) turns backlighting on/off.
• 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.
• CHAN and VOL keys act as channel and volume controllers. The CHAN keys also provide skip forward and skip back control for DVD players and DVRs that support this functionality.
• GO BACK exits remote programming; it also performs the same functions as on your original remotes.
• 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).

IMPORTANT: Because this remote controls more than one device, you must first “tell” the remote which device 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 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•VCR key to change device modes.

Backlighting: Backlight illumination helps you see the remote control keys better in the dark. You can turn backlight illumination on or off by pressing the LIGHT key ( ). Backlighting stays on as long as keys are being pressed and turns off six seconds after the last keypress. O
