How to program Spectrum Remote Control

The   Spectrum Remote Control OCAP-4 Remote Control is pre-programmed to operate your Spectrum receiver, an RCA TV, a Toshiba DVD player, and a Pioneer audio receiver. To control devices other than the default brands, perform the following steps:

  1. Turn on a device and, if applicable, insert video media (e.g. a DVD).

    Note: Please read steps 2 through 4 completely before proceeding. Highlight or write down the codes and device you wish to program before moving on to step 2.

  2. On the remote control, press a device key once (i.e. AUX, DVD, TV, CBL or STB); it will blink once. Then press and hold SETUP until the selected mode key blinks twice.

  3. Use the manufacturer's codes to locate the type of device and brand name and then enter the first five-digit code for your device. If performed correctly, the selected mode key will blink twice.

    Note: If the selected mode key emits a long blink, the entry is invalid. Repeat steps 2 through 3 and try entering the same code again.

  4. Aim the remote control at the device and press PWR once. The device should turn off. If it doesn't, repeat steps 2 through 3, trying each code for your brand until you find one that works. If it still doesn't respond, try searching for the code (see Searching for Your Code).

    Note: If the device doesn't have a PWR key, press the PLAY key.

  5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each device you want the remote control to operate. For future reference, write down each working device code.
