How to Program Your RCA Universal Remote
You can program your RCA universal remote using two methods: entering a specific code or using the auto-search feature. Both are simple, but the code method is faster if you have the right code.
Programming with a Specific Code
Follow these steps to program your remote using a device code:
- Turn on the device. For example, power on your TV manually.
- Press and hold the device button. Hold the button (e.g., TV) until the power button on the remote lights up.
- Enter the code. While holding the device button, use the number buttons to enter the code for your device.
- Check the power button. If it stays lit, the code is correct. Test the remote by pressing the power button to turn off the device.
- If the code doesn’t work. If the power button blinks four times, the code is incorrect. Try the next code on the list.
Programming Without a Code (Auto-Search Method)
If you don’t have a code or want to try another method, use the auto-search feature:
- Turn on the device. Power on the device you want to control.
- Press and release the device button. For example, press the TV button. The power button should light up.
- Press and hold both buttons. Hold the device button (e.g., TV) and the power button until the power button turns off and then on again.
- Release both buttons. The power button should stay lit.
- Press the play button. Press play (or slow on some models) every 5 seconds to cycle through codes until the device turns off.
- Save the code. When the device turns off, press the reverse button every 3 seconds until it turns back on. Then press the stop button to save the code.
- Test the remote. Try different functions (e.g., volume, menu) to ensure it works.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
If your remote doesn’t work as expected, try these solutions:
- Remote doesn’t respond after programming. Ensure the batteries are fresh. Weak batteries can cause issues. Also, point the remote directly at the device.
- Code doesn’t work. Try the next code on the list. Different models of the same brand may use different codes.
- Remote stops working. Reset the remote by removing the batteries for a few minutes, then reinsert them and try programming again.
- Device not listed. Use the auto-search method or check the RCA code finder for additional codes.
