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.

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).

RCU900_IB_revC.qxp 12/3/02 9:45 Page 3

RCU900

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.

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.

RCU900_IB_revC.qxp 12/3/02 9:45 Page 4

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.

RCU900_IB_revC.qxp 12/3/02 9:45 Page 5

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.

RCU900_IB_revC.qxp 12/3/02 9:45 Page 6

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.

Code Entry

RCU900_IB_revC.qxp 12/3/02 9:45 Page 7

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.

RCU900_IB_revC.qxp 12/3/02 9:45 Page 8

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

RCU900_IB_revC.qxp 12/3/02 9:45 Page 9

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

Code Search entry is now complete.

10. Press CLEAR on the Main Setup

Screen to exit Setup Mode.

Code Autosearch

Your RCU900 has the ability to automatically scroll through

the entire code library by using the Autosearch feature.

To start a Code Autosearch, 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. 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.
