Congratulations on your purchase of the 24991

Universal Remote Control. The 24991 is one of the
most easy to use remote controls available today.
With the 24991, juggling multiple remote controls is
a thing of the past! Your 24991 controls up to three
devices, including the most popular brands of TV,
VCR, DVD, SAT, CBL, 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 24991 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 SETUP button is used to setup the remote.

You can either setup the remote using the code
for your brand of product, from 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 SAT 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, DVD, etc.) to

be controlled.

2. Press and hold the SETUP button until

the red indicator stays on, then release
the SETUP button.
3. Press and quickly release the desired
mode button (TV, DVD, 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 DVD codes under the DVD

button, Cable codes under CABLE, etc. If (for
example) you want to store a DVD 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 DVD 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 (DVD only) or POWER instead.
Code Search starts from the currently stored three 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.

 Code Identification

The Code Identification Feature allows you to

identify the 4 digit library code stored under your
device key. For example, if you want to find out
what 4 digit code is stored under your TV device
key, follow the six steps below:

1. Press and hold the SETUP button until

the red indicator stays on. Release the
SETUP button.

2. Press and release the desired mode

button (TV, DVD, etc.). The red
indicator blinks, then stays lit.

3. Press and release the SETUP 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 again to find the third and fourth

digits. 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/DVD 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.
