What Are The Codes for a RCA Universal Remote?

The guide explains how to program your RCA Universal Remote:

Have you ever lost your TV remote and wished there was an easier way to control your television? Or maybe you have multiple remotes cluttering your coffee table and want one to rule them all. If so, an RCA universal remote could be the perfect solution!

In this article, we’ll walk you through the simple steps to program your RCA universal remote to work with your TV, DVD player, or other devices. Whether you have the code for your specific device or need to search for it, we’ve got you covered. Let’s get started!

What you need:

Before we begin programming your remote, please ensure you have the following items:

Your RCA universal remote

Fresh batteries:

The device you want to control could be a TV, DVD player, etc.

Please provide the brand and model number of your device.

Having the code list for your specific remote is also helpful. You can find this in the remote’s manual or the RCA website.

Programming with a Code:

The fastest way to program your RCA universal remote is by entering a device code. Here’s how:

  1. Turn on the device you want to control.
  2. Press and hold the button on the remote for the type of device you’re programming (TV, DVD, etc.). The remote light should be turned on.
  3. While still holding down the device button, enter the first 4-digit code for your brand. The light should turn off after you enter the code.
  4. Point the remote at the device and press the power button. If the device turns off, you’ve entered the correct code! If not, repeat steps 2-4 with the following code in the list.

Tips:

Make sure you’re pointing the remote directly at the device.

Press the buttons firmly.

If you’re trying to control a combo device (like a TV or DVD player), you may need to enter separate codes for each device part.

For future reference, write down the code that worked.

Searching for a Code:

But what if you can’t find a code that works or your device isn’t listed? No worries; most RCA remotes have a code search feature that scans all available codes. Here’s what to do:

  1. Turn on the device you want to control.
  2. Press and hold the code search button until the light stays on. Then release.
  3. Press and release the device button you’re programming (TV, DVD, etc.). The light should blink once and stay lit.
  4. Point the remote at the device, and press and release the power button repeatedly until the device turns off. This means you’ve found a working code!
  5. Press Enter to lock in the code.

If the remote cycles through all the codes without your device turning off, it may not be compatible with the RCA remote.

Programming without Codes:

Some RCA universal remotes allow you to program them without codes. The general steps are:

  1. Turn on the device.
  2. Press and hold the device button for 3 seconds until the light turns on.
  3. Press 9-9-1. The light should blink twice.
  4. Aim the remote at the device and press the power button.
  5. Press and release the buttons on the remote until the device turns off or on. This indicates you’ve found the correct code.
  6. To save the code, press the “Stop” button.

Refer to your remote’s manual for exact instructions, as they vary between models.

Troubleshooting:

If you’re having trouble getting your RCA universal remote to work after programming it, try these tips:

Make sure the batteries are fresh and inserted correctly.

Double-check that you’re aiming the remote directly at the device.

If you’re using the code search method, try a different one. There may be more than one that works.

Check the manual for device-specific instructions or limitations.

You may need to reset the remote and start over if all else fails. Check your manual for instructions on how to do this.
