Programming the Remote with a Code

Once you have a code, follow the steps below based on your remote model. Some RCA remotes have a Code Search button, while others do not.

Method 1: With Code Search Button

1. Turn on your Hisense TV.
2. Press and hold the “Code Search” button on the remote until the LED light turns on.
3. While holding “Code Search,” press the “TV” button. The LED should blink once and stay steady.
4. Enter a 3-digit, 4-digit, or 5-digit code using the number buttons.
5. If the code is correct, the LED will flash twice and turn off. If it blinks four times, try another code.
6. Test the remote by pressing the power button to turn the TV off and back on. Check volume and channel buttons too.

Method 2: Without Code Search Button

1. Turn on your Hisense TV.
2. Press and hold the “TV” button until the LED light turns on.
3. While holding the “TV” button, press and hold the “Power” button for about 3 seconds until the LED turns off and then on again.
4. Release both buttons. The LED should stay on.
5. Press the “Power” button repeatedly to cycle through codes until the TV turns off.
6. Press the “Stop” button to save the code.
7. Test the remote to ensure it controls the TV.

Programming Without a Code

If you don’t have a code or the listed codes don’t work, use the auto-search method to find the correct code automatically:

1. Turn on your Hisense TV.
2. Press and hold both the “TV” button and the “Power” button until the LED light turns on.
3. Release both buttons.
4. Press the “Play” button every 5 seconds until the TV turns off.
5. Once the TV turns off, press the “Reverse” button every 2 seconds until the TV turns back on.
6. Press the “Stop” button to save the code.
7. Test the remote to confirm it works.

Troubleshooting

If the remote doesn’t work after programming, try these steps:

• Try Another Code: If the power button works but other buttons don’t, select a different code from the list and repeat the programming steps.
• Check Batteries: Ensure the remote has fresh batteries, as weak batteries can cause issues.
• Clear Line of Sight: Make sure there are no obstacles between the remote and the TV.
• Contact Support: If problems persist, reach out to Hisense Support for assistance.

Additional Tips

• Find Your TV Model Number: Check the back of your Hisense TV or the original packaging to find the model number, which can help identify the correct code. Learn more at How to Find Your Hisense TV Model Number.
• Control Other Devices: Your RCA universal remote can also control devices like cable boxes or DVD players. Follow similar programming steps with device-specific codes. See Programming RCA Remote for Other Devices.
• Reset the Remote: If the remote stops working, reprogram it using the same steps. If issues continue, replace the batteries or consult the RCA manual.
