Most Universal Remotes come with a list of codes to program into the remote in the instruction manual for the remote, usually the codes are arranged by brand, and its generally trial and error to find the correct code to get the universal remote to operate your particular unit and even then most of the time universal remotes don't generally operated every single function of the VCR, like for example if a VCR has On-Screen Programming (a menu function) then most universal remotes won't work those functions unless the remote is the same brand as the piece of equipment you intend to operate.

Most universal remotes I've seen are pretty good with supporting menu systems. It's more obscure functions like if your VCR has a separate remote eject button or a remote button to toggle record speed that tend to be overlooked.
