RCA Universal Remote CRCR351 User Guide

Step 2: Program your remote  
To use this universal remote with your home entertainment  
system, first you need to program it to control your devices.  
There are four ways you can program the universal remote to  
operate your devices:  
The Auto Code Search goes automatically through all the  
codes for the device you’re trying to control. Its the easiest  
method, but it can sometimes take longer than some of  
the other programming methods.

The Brand Code Search searches through the codes for  
select brands of devices. Its not as easy as the auto code  
search, but it can be faster.  
The Direct Code Entry lets you enter a code from the  
accompanying code list for your brand of device. Its not as  
easy as the other methods, but its potentially the fastest  
method.  
The Manual Code Search lets you manually go through  
all the codes for the device you’re trying to control.  
SAVETHIS MANUAL ANDTHE CODE LISTS!  
Remote controls can sometimes lose their programming  
when you change the batteries. Make sure you keep the  
manual and code lists in a safe place so that you can  
reprogram the remote if you need to.  
Auto Code Search  
The Auto Code Search goes automatically through all the  
codes for the device you’re trying to control. When you find  
the one that operates your device, you can stop the search and  
store that code.  
Tip:This remote is already programmed to operate most  
RCA-brandedTVs, VCRs, and satellite receivers. Just press  
the corresponding key—TV for a television, SAT•CBL•DTC  
for a satellite receiver, VCR•DVD for a VCR.  
TIP:To exit without saving a new code at any point in the

key is programmed with the correct code for maximum  
functionality. If some features don’t work, try a different  
code. See the “Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality”  
section below for more information.  
TIPS:The Manual Code Search method may take a long time  
because the remote searches through all of the codes in  
its memory one-by-one. If your brand is listed in the Brand  
Codes or the Code Lists, first try the Brand Code Search or  
the Direct Code Entry method.  
During the Manual Code Search, the remote ignores  
keypresses that aren’t part of the search.  
To exit without saving a new code at any point in the Manual  
Code Search, press the GO BACK key.

Accessing Device Menus  
Tour of the Remote  
Many devices use on-screen menus to help you navigate  
through all their features and programming. While this remote  
may not access every menu system of every device model, it  
does offer some menu functionality.  
In most cases, the keys on  
this remote perform the same  
functions as the keys on your  
original remotes once you’ve  
programmed this remote to  
operate your components.  
Many keys on this remote  
have other functions as well.  
To use a devices on-screen menu system, you first have to put  
the remote in Menu Mode.  
1. Make sure your devices are turned on and yourTV is set  
to the correct device input (use the INPUT key to toggle  
through inputs when inTV Mode.)

the remote in the right mode  
to control your device:TV to  
control yourTV, SAT•CBL•DTC  
to control your satellite  
receiver, cable box or digital  
TV converter, and VCR•DVD  
to control your VCR or DVD  
player.  
4. Use the VOL+/- and CH+/- keys to  
navigate through the on-screen menu  
system.To select the highlighted item,  
press the OK key.  
TIP: If the remote doesn’t respond,  
check to see that the indicator light is  
still blinking.The light times out after 20  
seconds. If this happens, just press the  
MENU key again, and then retry your  
selection.  
MENU puts the remote in  
menu mode, which makes the  
CH/VOL keys serve as arrow  
keys; it also accesses the  
same features as the key on  
your original remotes.  
Exiting Menu/Guide 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 theTV.  
GO BACK exits remote  
programming; it also  
performs the same functions  
as on your original remotes.  
If you want to exit the Menu Mode yourself, press the  
corresponding device key on the remote (TV, SAT•CBL•DTC,  
VCR•DVD).The indicator light turns off.  
CH and VOL keys have dual  
functions: they can act as  
navigation keys in menu  
systems as well as channel  
and volume controllers  
outside the menus.  
The INPUT/— (dash)/TV•VCR  
key has three functions: (1)  
it toggles through all the  
video sources connected to  
yourTV; (2) when the remote  
Actual model may vary from  
illustration  
is in VCR mode, this button  
toggles between VCR and  
theTV 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 yourTV, you  
must first press theTV key to put the remote in theTV  
Mode.The remote stays in that device mode until you press  
a different device key. For example, if your remote is inTV  
Mode and you want to operate the DVD player or VCR, you  
 
must press the VCR•DVD key to change device modes.  
Problem:The device’s menu does not appear on theTV screen.  
Make sure you have connected the device to yourTV properly and  
selected the correct input. (See your devices’ Owners Manuals for  
proper connection procedures.)  
Troubleshooting  
Problem:The remote does not operate your device.  
Make sure the remote is in the correct mode by pressing the  
corresponding device key (TV, SAT•CBL•DTC, VCR•DVD).This  
tells the remote which device to operate.

environments.  
• Handle the remote gently and carefully. Don’t drop it.  
• Keep the remote away from dust and dirt.  
• Wipe the remote with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it  
looking new.  
• Modifying or tampering with the remotes internal devices can  
cause malfunction and invalidate its warranty.  
If you are testing the remote while programming it, you may  
be too far away from the device or at a wrong angle.There  
must be an unobstructed path between the remote and the IR  
sensor on the device. Move closer and make sure you point the  
remote at the device you’re trying to control.  
If you’re using the Direct Entry programming method to enter  
the codes for your brand and the unit is still not functioning  
properly, try the auto, brand, or manual search method.  
To control combo units, likeTV/VCRs orTV/DVDs, you must  
program the individual corresponding device keys to control  
each part of the combo unit. Once programmed successfully, the  
TV key controls theTV functions, and the DVD key controls the  
VCR or DVD functions.  
Make sure the batteries are fresh and are properly installed.  
Problem:The remote doesn’t perform commands properly.
