Congratulations on your purchase of the RM24977

Universal Remote Control. The RM24977 is one of the most easy to use remote controls available today. With the RM24977, juggling multiple remote controls is a thing of the past! Your RM24977 controls up to four devices, including the most popular brands of TV, VCR, DVD, CBL, SAT, and audio equipment.

Note: Some functions from your original remote may not be controlled by this remote. Use the original remote, if available, to control such functions.

Sometimes buttons other than described in these instructions may actually perform the function. For example, the CHAN and VOL buttons might be used to navigate through menu choices. We recommend you experiment with the remote to identify if such situations pertain to your equipment.

The RM24977 is easy to use, easy to program, and it gives you total control—at the touch of your fingertips!

Setup

Battery Installation

1. On the back of the remote, push down on the tab and lift the cover off.

2. Match the batteries to the + and - marks inside the battery case, then insert 2 AAA Alkaline batteries.

3. Press the battery cover back into place.

Battery Saver

Your remote automatically turns off if the buttons are depressed more than 30 seconds. This will save your batteries should your remote get stuck in a place where the buttons remain depressed (e.g., between the sofa cushions).

Code Saver

You will have up to 10 minutes to change the batteries in your remote without losing codes you have programmed. However, do not press any buttons until batteries are installed in the remote. If buttons are pressed without batteries in the remote, all codes will be lost.

Code Setup

The CODE SEARCH button is used to setup the remote. You can either setup the remote using the code tables (on separate sheet), or you can search through the library of codes until you find a code that works for your product.

Please refer to “Programming with Code Search” page 9 for more information on using the code search feature to learn how to search through the library of codes for your products. NOTE: You can store any kind of code under any mode (except TV). I.E. you can store a VCR code under the CABLE button, or a

DVD code under the VCR button, etc. However, you can only store TV codes under the TV button.

Code Search

If your device does not respond after you have tried all the codes for your brand, or if your brand is not listed, try searching for your code by following these steps.

1. Manually turn on the device ( TV , VCR , etc.) to be controlled.

2. Press and hold the CODE SEARCH button until the red indicator stays on, then release the CODE SEARCH button.

3. Press and quickly release the desired mode button ( TV , VCR , etc.).

The red indicator blinks off once.

4. Press the CHANNEL UP button repeatedly (up to 300 times) until the device to be controlled changes channel. The red indicator blinks off with each button press. If you accidentally overshoot the code required, press the CHANNEL DOWN button to backtrack through the library until the device changes channel. Pressing CHANNEL UP changes direction to forward again.

5. Press and release ENTER to install the code.

Most users will store VCR codes under the VCR button,

Cable codes under CABLE, etc. If (for example) you want to store a VCR code under CABLE, first follow the procedure for Direct Code Entry (page 8) and press

CABLE in step 2 of Direct Code Entry, then enter ANY

VCR code in step 3 of Direct Code Entry. Then follow the steps above for Code Search.

Note: If the device does not have a CHANNEL UP button, use PLAY (VCR only) or POWER instead. Code

Search starts from the currently stored four digit number under that mode. Sometimes the first code that “works” with your device may only allow limited functionality (e.g. the MENU button might not work).

There may be a code that performs more functions.

Continue the code search process until the best code is found.

Using Your Remote

Code Identification

The Code Identification Feature allows you to identify the four digit library code stored under your device key. For example, if you want to find out what

four digit code is stored under your TV device key, follow the six steps below:

Release the CODE SEARCH button.

2. Press and release the desired mode button (TV, VCR , etc.). The red indicator blinks, then stays lit.

3. Press and release the CODE SEARCH button. The red indicator blinks once and remains lit.

4. To find the first digit for the code stored under the mode key pressed in step 2, press each numeric key from 0-9 in turn. The number that causes the indicator light to blink is the first digit in your code.

5. To find the second digit, repeat step 4.

6. Repeat step 4 to find the third and fourth digit.

This time the red indicator turns off and stays off.

Controlling Devices with Separate

Power On and Off Buttons

Some GE, RCA and ProScan models require you to press the device button for more than one second to turn the device on and the POWER button to turn the device off.

Controlling Combo Devices

Some Combo devices (e.g. TV/VCR, TV/DVD,

DVD/VCR, etc.) will require you to set up two different Mode buttons to control both parts of the

Combo device. For example, if you have a TV/DVD

Combo, you might need to set up one code under the TV button to control the TV part AND a separate code (under any other Mode button) to control the DVD part.

VCR/DVD Punch-Through

This remote allows the 6 VCR transport buttons

(i.e. PLAY, PAUSE, STOP, FF, REWIND, and REC) to Punch-Through control from any Mode programmed with TV, SAT or Cable codes to the last VCR, or DVD programmed Mode you used.

This feature will not operate if the programmed TV,

SAT or Cable code has its own VCR transport button control e.g. a TV Combo, SAT/PVR, etc.

Volume/Mute Control and Punch-

Through

This remote lets you select which device Mode controls your Volume/Mute buttons. The remote is initially set for all device Modes to use their own

Volume/Mute control if present. If the programmed code has no Volume/Mute operation of its own then those buttons will punch-through control to the TV

Mode device without needing to change to TV

Mode.

Any Mode chosen for Volume/Mute control

MUST have its own Volume/Mute function or the Volume/Mute buttons will do nothing.

(TV, VCR, etc.) for Volume/Mute control, the red indicator blinks then stays on.

4. Press and release the MUTE button and the red indicator turns off. The red indicator will blink rapidly for three seconds if the

Mode you have selected has no Volume/

Mute control.

All other Modes will now punch-through to your chosen Mode for Volume/Mute control.

Setting any Mode to use its own

Volume/Mute Control

This routine can set any Mode to use only its own

Volume/Mute control. Note - If your chosen Mode has no Volume/Mute functions of its own then the

Volume/Mute buttons will do nothing.
