RCA RCR4373 User Manual

Congratulations on your purchase of this four-component 
universal remote. This universal remote controls up to four 
electronic components and makes juggling remote controls 
a thing of the past. Your remote is guaranteed to work with 
all brands of components. This remote is unusually versatile 
because it has a DVR•AUX key that you can program to control 
any video component. The four-component universal remote is 
easy to use, easy to program and gives you control at the touch 
of your fingertips.

SAVE THIS MANUAL AND THE 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.

Tip: The four-component universal remote is already programmed 
to operate most RCA, GE and PROSCAN branded TVs, VCRs, 
DVD players and satellite receivers. Just press the corresponding 
key—DVD•VCR for a DVD player, TV for a television, SAT•CBL 
for a satellite receiver, DVR•AUX for a DVR.

Your universal remote requires two AAA 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.

Note: If you are replacing batteries, try not to press any buttons after 
you’ve taken the old batteries out. Pressing buttons while replacing 
batteries causes the remote to lose the devices you’ve programmed. You 
will need to program the remote again.
Battery Precautions:  

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.

The INPUT and — (dash) key has three functions:  
() 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 subchannel number

Your universal remote can operate a variety of brands of 
components. In order for your universal remote to control your 
components, you need to program the remote with the codes 
that match the components (See Code Lists enclosed or go to 
rca.com/codefinder). These codes enable the remote to 
communicate with your components. Each brand and each 
component has its own “language,” and, by programming the 
correct codes into your remote, you tell the remote to “speak the 
same language” as your components.

• Keep the remote dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
• Use and store the remote only in normal temperature 

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 remote’s internal components 

can cause malfunction and invalidate its warranty.
