Universal Learning Remote with Touchscreen
Congratulations on your purchase of the RCU900 by
RCA. The RCU900 is one of the most sophisticated, yet easy to use, remote control units available today. With the RCU900, juggling multiple remote controls is a thing of the past!
Your RCU900 controls up to eight devices, including the most popular brands of TV, VCR, DVD, SAT/CBL, CD and audio equipment. The RCU900 has the ability to learn commands from your existing remotes, and the Smart Macro feature allows multiple commands to be executed with a single keypress. The RCU900 is easy to use, easy to program, and it gives you total control—at the touch of your fingertips!
Battery Information
Your RCU900 Universal Learning Remote with Touchscreen requires four AA alkaline batteries (sold separately).
Battery Installation
To install the batteries:
1. Turn the remote to the bottom side, pull on the tab and lift off the cover.
2. Insert the batteries, matching the batteries to the (+) and (-) marks inside the battery compartment.
3. Slide the battery cover back into place.
Battery Saver
Your RCU900 saves battery power by automatically turning off if any button is pressed for more than 30 seconds. This saves your batteries should your remote get stuck in a place where the buttons remain depressed, such as under a book or between the sofa cushions.
Code Saver
With the RCU900, you don’t have to worry about losing programmed information when you change batteries.
All programmed parameters are retained indefinitely in the event of battery replacement.
Power-on Default
When you replace batteries, your RCU900 remote always powers on in the TV Mode. If your TV, VCR and satellite receiver are RCA, ProScan or GE brands, you may not even need to set up the RCU900 to control them. In these instances, the remote should work as soon as the batteries are installed.

RCU900_IB_revC.qxp 12/3/02 9:45 Page 4
RCU900
LCD Touchscreen
The LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) touchscreen on your RCU900 acts as a “virtual keypad.” This touchscreen makes it easy to program and use your remote with many devices. Once you select a device key, you put the remote in that device mode and it will remain in that mode until you press another device key.
When you put the remote in a specific device mode, the menu that is activated on the touchscreen will be the menu for that mode. For example, if you put the remote in TV Mode, the menu you see on the touchscreen is for the TV Mode. For each mode, the LCD touchscreen includes two control screens, and you can easily switch between the two by pressing the SCREEN key at the upper right-hand corner of the LCD touchscreen. Each LCD touchscreen has an 18-position segmented keypad.
The LCD touchscreen remains blank when the remote is not in use. The LCD touchscreen turns on automatically when you press the SETUP key, any device key or the LIGHT key on the rubber keypad, or any LCD touchscreen key. The remaining rubber keys do not activate the LCD touchscreen.
LED Indicator Light
The LED (Light Emitting Diode) indicator light, located at the upper right-hand side of the RCU900 unit, lights up whenever a rubber key or any LCD touchscreen key is pressed. The LED indicator light flashes and beeps three times (approximately two seconds) to indicate any error condition.
4
RCU900_IB_revC.qxp 12/3/02 9:45 Page 5
Setup Routine and Procedures
The SETUP key is located towards the middle of the RCU900 unit, on the right-hand side of the rubber keypad. The SETUP key is used to walk you through the steps in setting up the remote. To enter the Setup Mode, press and hold the SETUP key until the LED indicator light remains on. At that time, the Main
Setup Screen appears. Setup is used for Library Code Entry,
Code Search, Code Identification and other functions.
During a Setup function, if no button is pressed for 60 seconds, the unit automatically exits from the Setup process. The LED indicator light flashes an error in this instance, and any operation that is not completed when the time-out occurs is not programmed.
During the Setup function, if you press any key not shown on the touchscreen or a key not expected as part of a Setup routine, the RCU900 ignores that keypress. Pressing the LCD CLEAR key in a Setup routine returns the touchscreen to the Main Setup
Screen. When you press the CLEAR key, any changes made up to that point are discarded. Also, where specifically indicated, pressing the SETUP key in a Setup routine discards any changes and returns the remote to the Main Setup Screen.
To exit the Setup function and return to normal operation, press the CLEAR key on the Main Setup Screen.
5
RCU900_IB_revC.qxp 12/3/02 9:45 Page 6
Device Control Screens
Your RCU900 displays different control screens for each device.
There are two screens needed to control each device. You can easily switch between these two screens by simply pressing the
LCD SCREEN key at the top right of the touchscreen.
6
RCU900_IB_revC.qxp 12/3/02 9:45 Page 7
Code Entry
In order for the RCU900 to control your devices (TV, VCR, DVD, etc.), you must program it with the library code for each device.
This enables the RCU900 remote to control your device with the proper commands. If your TV, VCR, DVD, or satellite receiver is an RCA, ProScan or GE brand, the RCU900 may not need any programming to control them. To program the remote with the codes for your devices, you can use one of three methods:
Library Code Entry, Code Search or Code Autosearch.
Library Code Entry
You can enter codes in your RCU900 from the Code List using the SETUP key on the rubber keypad. (
See
the Code List of the most popular brands on page 29.) When you enter a valid code for any given mode (e.g., when you enter a code for a TV), the
Default Key Label Screen is used and any previously Learned functions for that mode are deleted. The mode is reset to its power-on default state. However, Macro settings remain unchanged and now include the new code just entered.
7
RCU900_IB_revC.qxp 12/3/02 9:45 Page 8
Library Code Entry (continued)
To enter a code directly from the Code List, follow these steps:
1. Manually turn on the device to be controlled (TV, VCR, DVD, etc.).
2. Press and hold the SETUP key on the rubber keypad until the LED indicator light remains on and the touchscreen shows the Main Setup
Screen. This process takes approximately 2-3 seconds.
3. Release the SETUP key.
4. Press and release the LCD CODE key.
The LED indicator light blinks once to indicate acceptance of the keypress.
5. The touchscreen now shows the
Device Setup Screen. Press and release the device key on the rubber keypad for the device whose code you want to enter (TV, VCR,
SAT/CBL
, etc.). The LED indicator light blinks once to indicate acceptance of the keypress.
6. For AUX1 or AUX2, press and release the AUX device key, followed by the desired device key to be programmed under AUX (TV, VCR,
SAT/CBL
, etc.).
7. The touchscreen now shows the
Code Setup Screen. Find the three-digit code for your device brand from the Code List at the back of the manual. If your brand has more than one code listed, begin with the first code. Enter the three-digit code from the Code List. When a valid code from the list is entered, the
LED indicator light blinks after the last digit is entered. For an invalid code, the LED indicator light flashes rapidly and beeps for two seconds before going off. In both cases, the touchscreen returns to the Main
Setup Screen.
8. Before the code can be tested on the chosen device, you must exit back to normal operation by pressing the CLEAR key on the Main
Setup Screen.
9. With the device on, aim the RCU900 at the device and press the ON•OFF or the CH+ key on the rubber keypad. If you have entered the correct number for your device, it will respond to the ON•OFF or CH+ key. If the device responds, no further programming is required.
10. If your device does not respond, try the next code in the list for your brand by repeating the procedure starting at step 2. If no other codes exist for your brand, try the Code
Search or Code Autosearch methods.
8
RCU900_IB_revC.qxp 12/3/02 9:45 Page 9
Code Search
If the device you wish to control does not respond to any of the codes you have entered using the Library Code Entry, you can search the entire code library for a particular device that might not be listed in the Code List or might be listed under a different brand.
When you enter a valid code for any given mode (e.g., when you enter a code for a TV), the default key labels are displayed on the touchscreen and any previously Learned functions for that mode are deleted. The mode is reset to its power-on default state. However, Macro settings remain unchanged and now include the new code just entered.
To search for a specific code in the Code List, follow these steps:
1. Manually turn on the device to be controlled (TV, VCR, DVD, etc.).
2. Press and hold the SETUP key on the rubber keypad until the LED indicator light remains on and the touchscreen shows the Main Setup
Screen. This process takes approximately 2-3 seconds.
3. Release the SETUP key.
4. Press and release the LCD CODE key.
The LED indicator light blinks once to indicate acceptance of the keypress.
5. The touchscreen now shows the
Device Setup Screen. Press and release the device key on the rubber keypad for the device whose code you want to enter (TV, VCR, SAT, etc.). The LED indicator light blinks once to indicate acceptance of the keypress.
6. For AUX1 or AUX2, press the AUX device key. Select the desired device key to be programmed under AUX
(TV, VCR, SAT/CBL, etc.).
7. The touchscreen now shows the
Code Setup Screen. Press and release the LCD SEARCH key.
8. The touchscreen shows the Search
Setup Screen. Press the ON•OFF key on the rubber keypad repeatedly, until the device to be controlled responds to the command and turns off.
Note:
The Code Search starts from the currently stored code under that mode. For example, if the device code list contains 100 codes and the currently stored code is 050, the Code
Search starts from 051 and continues to 100 before looping back to 000 and finishing at 050. This speeds up the process of finding the correct code for your device, since you may discover
9
RCU900_IB_revC.qxp 12/3/02 9:45 Page 10
Code Search (continued)
that some codes can turn your device on and off but are not able to control its other functions. This process allows you to bypass codes you’ve already tried.
Note:
If your device responds and you accidentally overshoot that code by pressing the ON•OFF key again, press the CH- key or DOWN
ARROW
key to backtrack through the code library. You can change the direction to forward once again by pressing the ON•OFF, CH+, LCD UP
ARROW
, or PLAY keys.
9. Once the device to be controlled responds to the commands, press and release the LCD OK key to install the code. The touchscreen returns to the Main Setup Screen. The

5. The touchscreen now shows the
Device Setup Screen. Press and release the device key on the rubber keypad for the device whose code you want to enter (TV, VCR,
SAT/CBL
, etc.). The LED indicator light blinks once to indicate acceptance of the keypress.
6. For AUX1 or AUX2, press and release the AUX device key. Select the desired device key to be programmed under
AUX (TV, VCR, SAT/CBL, etc.).
7. The LCD touchscreen shows the
Code Setup Screen. Press and release the LCD SEARCH key.
8. The LCD touchscreen shows the
Search Setup Screen. Press the
ON•OFF
key on the rubber keypad just once. If you do not press any other keys, the Autosearch feature automatically starts in six seconds.
10
RCU900_IB_revC.qxp 12/3/02 9:45 Page 11
9. The Autosearch sends the next code in the list every three seconds.
Note:
The Autosearch can take a significant amount of time, since there are many codes in the list.
10. To speed up the Autosearch, you can manually override the process and temporarily speed it up by pressing the normal search keys (CH+, CH-,
ON•OFF
, PLAY, LCD UP, and LCD
DOWN
keys) in both forward and reverse directions.
11. If your device responds to the command, and the RCU 900 sends the next code before you have a chance to press the
LCD OK key, you can backtrack through the code library by pressing

Learning Tips
Before transferring commands from your original remote to the RCU900, check out these useful tips on Learning.
1. Make sure you are using fresh batteries in both the RCU900 and the original remote.
2. It is recommended that a Master Clear be done before attempting any Learning. This clears all Learned commands for all device modes. (
See
section on Master Clear).
3. Point the top of the original remote at the base of the RCU900 so the IR LED on the original remote is in line with the RCU900
Learning sensor, located at the bottom of the remote.
4 The remotes should be positioned two to three inches apart.
5. To ensure that your units are compatible and to increase your familiarity with the unit, you may wish to experiment by learning two or three keys initially. Then, carry out a Master Clear before learning all the desired functions from your original remote.
6. Incandescent or low-energy light can cause interference with the IR transmissions. When using the Learning function, keep the remotes at least three feet away from such light sources.
7. When learning a key, do not release the key on your original remote until the LED indicator light remains on, which takes
2-3 seconds.
8. No commands may be learned under the LCD LEARN,
MACRO
, SCREEN or SETUP keys or the device keys on the rubber keypad (such as TV, VCR, DVD, SAT/CBL, or
AUDIO
keys).
9. If there is a problem with the Learning process, the LED indicator light flashes for two seconds but still remains in
Learning Mode.
10. All Learned keys are saved automatically.
Code Learning
Codes from the Code List include basic functionality for each device they control. Once you have programmed in the library code for your specific device, you can customize the RCU900 touchscreen to include certain functions from your original remote that were not embedded in the preset code.
Your RCU900 has the ability to learn and store commands from your original remotes under the mode of your choice. The
RCU900 can store up to 40 key commands for each original remote. Only one original remote can be stored under any one mode (i.e., the RCU900 can learn the commands for one TV remote, one VCR remote, one DVD remote, etc.).
Once you have set your Key Label Options and have taught your RCU900 any additional commands from the original remotes, use the chart on the previous page to enter your customized options for each mode.
16
RCU900_IB_revC.qxp 12/3/02 9:45 Page 17

TV or Audio Volume
Punch-Through
Your RCU900’s Punch-through command allows you to choose which device mode (either TV or AUDIO/AUX) controls the
VOL+
, VOL-, and MUTE keys on the rubber keypad. With this feature, your TV volume can work even when you are in VCR
Mode, because it “punches through” from one device to another.
22
RCU900_IB_revC.qxp 12/3/02 9:45 Page 23
The device you select for Volume Punch-through control must be either the TV or the AUDIO/AUX device programmed with the Audio unit. Any other selection (VCR, DVD, SAT/CBL) is denied and the LED indicator light flashes to indicate an error. The power-on default for volume control is TV Volume
Punch-through.
Note:
All Audio Modes take any Volume/Mute keypress commands from the Audio code, even when the TV is programmed as the Punch-through device. All other devices punch-through to the TV Volume/Mute control. When the Audio option is chosen as the Punch-through device, all modes take any
Volume/Mute keypress commands from the Audio code.
To change the device that controls the VOLUME and MUTE keys
