The brand produces a line of universal remotes that are simple to operate, reasonably priced, and a relative breeze to program. And to help you through the programming process, we've put together this step-by-step guide.

If the auto programming method didn't work for you, move to the Direct Code Programming option.

How to Use Direct Code Programming

The auto-programming function is not always effective. Your RCA universal remote came with a codebook, which has thousands of codes from almost every TV manufacturer. To use it, follow these steps:

1. Read the TV device section of the codebook included with the RCA Universal Remote.

   Note

   The codebook included with the RCA Universal Remote has thousands of codes compatible with different TV's, Blu-ray Players, and Soundbars.

2. Find your TV brand in the codebook.
   

3. Circle the potential codes.
   

   Note

   RCA Universal Codes are numeric and vary in legth depending on the devices brand. For example an LG Television Universal Remote code looks like this. "11423"
   

4. Hold down the TV button, the power light will become illuminated.
   

5. Keep holding the TV button as you input the marked code using the numeric buttons on the RCA Universal Remote. An example code is 11423 for an LG Television.
   

6. If the power light remains illuminated, you have entered the code correctly. If the light flashes four times, you’ll need to attempt another code.
   

7. Once the proper code has been entered, release the TV button.
   

8. Test the various functions, including volume, menu, etc.
   

There are some codes that will only control half of the remote. You’ll still need to test various codes until the remote functions correctly.

Where Is the Code Search Button on an RCA Universal Remote?

There are two code search buttons on the RCA Universal Remote. If you are doing the auto-programming method, the code search buttons will be the Play Button and Reverse Button.

How Do I Set up My Universal Remote to My TV?
