up to five (5) electronic devices which include:
CABLE - Cable converters
TV - Televisions
VCR - VCRs
DVD- DVD Players
AUDIO - CD Players, Receivers, etc.
Some of the special features on
the Checkmate V (Model RT-U50) universal remote control are:
Point and Press ® Programming
Lets you program your TV, VIDEO, DVD, and AUDIO devices without using codes, For more
information, refer to these two sections:

mode. To operate more functions on your TV, VCR, DVD, or AUDIO devices, see:
[DEVICE] Button
[DEVICE] button operates only when Mode Lock feature is unlocked. When [DEVICE] is
pressed,one of the power buttons will light up indicating the current device that is being
operated. While the current mode power button is illuminated, press a non-illuminated
power button to operate a different device.
[VCR/DVD/VOD] Button
"Toggles" the VCR buttons between "Video On Demand" (VOD), VCR, or DVD
functions.
Memory Gaurd
Permanent programming memory eliminates reprogramming after battery changes.
Time Out
Shuts remote off if any button is pressed for over 45 seconds. This extends battery life
in the event the remote becomes lodged under or between heavy objects.
General Reset
Lets you reset your remote to it's original default settings. For more information, see:
Install two (2)
"AAA" batteries as indicated by the diagram in the battery compartment. Be
careful to properly match the "+ / -" ends of the batteries with the diagram in
the battery compartment.
Under normal use, your
remote should operate for approximately 10 - 12 months on 2 "AAA" non-alkaline
batteries. For longer life, use alkaline-type batteries.
When the batteries become too weak to operate the remote
control properly, the mode keys will become dim or not illuminate at all during use. When
this happens, install 2 new "AAA" size batteries.
Your remote control has Memory Guard,
which eliminates reprogramming after battery changes.

This method allows
you to program the remote control WITHOUT using CODES. Instead, the remote control will
actually find the device you are trying to set by looking through it's code library until
it finds the correct code for your device. You then lock in the correct code as described
below.
The following instructions describe how to
program your remote control using the [CH ] and [CH ]
buttons. (these buttons function as "power" during programming). You may also
program your remote control using other buttons/functions as described in section
. When using this method, there are several points to remember:
The order in which you program your devices IS NOT
important.
While the remote is searching for the correct setup
code, other devices that you are NOT currently programming may turn on/off. This
is nothing to be concerned about. Simply continue pressing [CH ] until you find the correct code for the device you
are programming. Your other devices will not be affected.
It may take several minutes for the remote control
to find the proper code. During this time, the remote control will remain lit in a fast
rotation pattern:
There may be several codes that turn your electronic
devices ON / OFF (or other functions). Once you lock in a code, be sure to check all
available functions for that device. For example:
For TV try the [VOL ], [VOL],[MUTE], TV
input (TV/VCR button), etc.
For VCR or DVD, try the PLAY(), REWIND(), FFWD(), etc.
If
you have a TV operated by remote control, it is recommended that you plug it directly into
a wall outlet instead of the cable converter.If the TV is plugged into the converter, try
to set the converter to UNSWITCHED. Refer to cable converter manuals for
operation.

When programming the remote control using the [CH ] or [CH ] buttons (Power function) in the Point and Press®
Programming method, you may find a code that turns a device off but not back on. If this
happens
The correct code has not been found as you may have
a code that operates some but not all of the functions of your device. Continue pressing
[CH ] until your device turns
on.
OR
You may have gone past the correct matching code.
Try pressing [CH ] one press at a
time until you find a code that turns your device back on.
When using the Point and Press® Programming
method, you can also program your remote using buttons other than the [CH ] or [CH ] as described in Section 5 as follows:
[VOL ]
to "go forward" through the codes using the "VOL " function on your devices.
[VOL ]
to "go back" through the codes using the "VOL " function on your devices NOTE: When you find the correct code, the volume of the device being programmed will
increase or decrease.
[ ] - to
"go forward" through the codes using the "CH " function on your devices.
[ ] -
to "go back" through the codes using the "CH " function on your devices. NOTE: When you find the correct code, the channel of the device being programmed
will increase or decrease.
[ ] - to
"go forward" through the codes using the "Fast Forward" function on
your devices.
[ ] - to
"go back" through the codes using the "Rewind" function on your
devices. NOTE: When you find the correct code, the fast- forward or rewind function of the
device being programmed will be performed. To simplify programming using these buttons,
insert a VHS tape or DVD in the device being programmed.
You can also program your remote using the other available
functions as follows:
Press [SELECT] then [MUTE] together until the power / mode
buttons illuminate in slow-rotation:
In this order, carefully press [0], [0], [0], [CH ] and [VOL ]. The power / mode buttons illuminate in slow-rotation:
You can now program your remote using the [CH / ], [VOL / ],[FFWD], [REW], [PLAY], [STOP], [REC], [PAUSE],
[GO BACK], [(BLUE)], [0] - [9] buttons. When you find the correct code, the function
associated with the selected button will be performed.
Your remote is equipped with 2 programming labels on the

Troubleshooting / Tips
If the same button is pressed and held for 45-seconds, your
remote control will turn itself off automatically. This extends the battery life should
the remote become lodged under or between heavy objects, for example sofa cushions.
If you have a TV thats operated by remote control, it
is recommended that you plug it directly into a wall outlet instead of the cable set-top
terminal.
If you have any questions concerning the brand, model or
operation of your cable set-top terminal, contact your cable operator.
If the [DEVICE] button is not operating, the remote is in
its locked mode. To set the remote to its unlocked mode, see Section 10.

Mode
The device the remote is set to operate (ex.
Cable, TV, VCR, DVD, AUDIO). See Section 10 for locking and unlocking the mode of the
remote control.
Program (Setup)
The process of teaching your remote control to
operate your electronic devices.
Slow-Rotation
The power / mode buttons illuminate in a slow
sequence (i.e. CABLE --> TV --> VCR --> DVD --> AUDIO -->
CABLE ) repeated every 1 second. Slow-rotation illumination occurs when the remote is
in the programming mode, waiting for the next entry on the keypad of the remote.
TV Output Channel
The channel your TV needs to be set on
for proper Cable reception (channel 4 in RCN PA or IL, 3 in all other markets). If you
have any questions concerning your TV output channel, contact RCN. Or, with your cable
set-top terminal turned on, try setting your TV to channel 3 or 4 to obtain a clear
picture.
Transport Functions
These are the [Stop], [Play], [Fwd], [Rew],
[Pause] and [REC] buttons. In the remote control's Cable mode, these buttons operate your
Cable set-top features. However, by using the VCR / VOD / DVD toggle button, they can be
set to operate the same functions on your VCR or DVD player.
All
memory on the remote is cleared, except for the default settings of the UEC 2200i
coverter, DCT6108 series, DCT5100 series, DCT2000 series, 2000 Series, and CFT2200®
converter boxes.
Press [SELECT], then [CABLE] together until the [CABLE] button light up under your finger, and release both buttons.
Press [STARVIEW], and then [STARVIEW] again.
The {CABLE] button will blink and go out.
All codes will now be CLEARED, except for
the default settings of the UEC
2200i coverter, DCT6108 series, DCT5100 series, DCT2000 series, 2000 Series, and
CFT2200® converter boxes.
Start programming your RT-U50 over again, as
needed.
