Operating the RCA RCR450 Universal Remote Control

Operating the RCA RCR450 Universal Remote Control 

The four-component universal remote is already programmed to operate most RCA, GE and PROSCAN branded TVs, DVD players and satellite receivers. Just press the corresponding key—VCR for a VCR player; DVD for a DVD player; TV for a television; SAT·CBL for a satellite receiver or a cable box.

Using the Remote to Control Your Components:

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.

On-Screen Menus:

Accessing and Selecting Menu Items: Today’s advanced components use on-screen menus to help you navigate through all their features and functions. While this remote cannot access every menu system of every component model, it does offer some menu functionality.

To use a component’s on-screen menu system, you first have to put the remote in Menu Mode.

1. Press the component key whose menu you want to access.
2. Press the MENU key. The LED indicator light blinks, indicating you are in the Menu Mode.
3. Use the VOL+/- and/or CH+/- keys to navigate through the on-screen menu system.
4. To make a selection from the on-screen menu, press the MENU or OK key to select the highlighted item.
   Tip: If the remote doesn't respond, check to see that the LED indicator light is still blinking. Remember: the LED indicator light times out after 20 seconds. If this happens, just press the MENU key again, and then retry your selection.

Exiting a Menu Mode: The remote automatically times out of Menu Mode after 20 seconds of inactivity (no keys being pressed). At that time, the remote clears the displayed menu from the TV. If you want to exit the Menu Mode yourself, press the corresponding component key on the remote (TV, VCR, DVD, SAT·CBL). The LED indicator turns off and the remote is automatically set to control the component whose key you just pressed to leave the Menu Mode. For example, if the remote is in DVD Menu Mode, press the DVD key to exit the Menu Mode. The remote is now out of Menu Mode and is set to control the DVD. To control another component, simply press the component key for the unit you wish to control (TV, VCR, satellite receiver or cable box).
