Programming 5-Digit Codes RCA Universal Remote Codes (Guide)

Configuring a television remote without the correct code can be frustrating. Some TVs have four-digit codes, while others have five-digit codes; guessing the Code is comparable to attempting to predict the winning lottery numbers. Fortunately, you can rapidly narrow down your options.

This article provides comprehensive information on the RCA Universal remote control, including its operation, programming, and 4-digit and 5-digit RCA codes.

WHAT IS A UNIVERSAL REMOTE FROM RCA?

The RCA Universal is, in truth, a magical remote. It can configure multiple devices simultaneously. Therefore, you only need a few remote controls for your home theater. Typically, each brand and device comes with its own remote and cannot be controlled by another remote.

Assume you have a Smart TV, Projector, Soundbar, Speakers, DVD, and other devices in your home theater. You must seek and retrieve a new remote whenever you want to control one of the devices.

Maintaining an excessive number of remotes is not only tricky but also aggravating. First, you must replace their batteries and store them in a secure location.

However, remote controls are among the most misplaced items. Therefore, if you lose your TV remote, you will miss your favorite program. The RCA remote is the only remedy to these issues.

This single remote controls a variety of devices. Eliminate all other remotes from your home theater and replace them with the RCA remote.

Because RCA is a highly intelligent and sophisticated remote with all function controls. Numerous manufacturers produce RCA remotes.

3 METHODS FOR PROGRAMMING THE RCA UNIVERSAL REMOTE 

There are three methods to program the RCA Universal remote with your device. First, direct code programming is distinct from autonomous programming. The third approach is Code Search. These methodologies will be described in detail. However, before proceeding, consider the following points.

STANDARD CHECKS

Before pairing your RCA remote with your device, you must perform accurate tests.

• Ensure that the batteries in your remote are new and properly positioned.
• The device to which the remote will be programmed is powered on and connected.
• Nothing obstructs your device’s IR sensor.
• Maintain a minimum distance between the remote and the device and aim it in the correct direction.

1. METHOD OF AUTOMATIC PROGRAMMING

Programming the RCA Universal remote with any remote-compatible device is possible. However, we’ll use the television as an illustration.

You will use the same method to program your remote with every other device. Numerous buttons on the RCA remote are inscribed with the respective device’s name.

As an illustration, TV, CBL for cable box, SAT for satellite antenna, AUX for stereo devices, etc. Therefore, you will select the corresponding button during remote programming.

• Turn on your TV, Blu-ray player, DVD player, projector, Speaker, etc. Then, aim the remote control at the device.
• Select the ‘TV’ icon on your RCA Universal remote. The ON/OFF switch on your remote control will begin to glow.
• Next, simultaneously tap and hold the ‘TV’ and ‘ON/OFF’ buttons. Hold the controls until the ON/OFF button flashes on and off.
• The ‘ON/OFF’ button’s light will go out briefly. It will illuminate again in a few seconds. Now, let go of both keys.
• Find and press the ‘Play’ button once on your RCA Universal remote. Within 5 seconds, the television will shut off.
• If it does not turn off, press the “Play” button every five seconds until the TV turns off.
• The next step is to select the Stop button, which will save the remote’s programming information.
• By following the steps above precisely, you can auto-program your RCA remote with any device.

Note: even though configuring your remote is not particularly difficult, erroneous actions can land you in hot water.

You histogram the remote if you do not meticulously follow the correct action of the tablet buttons. If this occurs, remove the batteries from your remote and replace them after a few seconds. Then, restart the process from the beginning.

2. THE DIRECT CODE METHOD OF PROGRAMMING

This technique is simple and quick. Because a 4- or 5-digit Code is required when programming your RCA remote with a device. This Code is unique to each brand and device.

The RCA remote has a manual containing the codes for all compatible devices. However, the majority of people toss away or misplace such guides.

You can still obtain the Codes for your devices, however. This article will provide a compendium of all Device Codes. Follow these instructions to program the Code into your RCA remote;

• Connect your television to a functioning power source and switch it on.
• Press and hold your RCA remote’s ‘TV’ button until the ‘ON/OFF’ button illuminates.
• While holding down the ‘TV’ button, input the brand and model-specific Code for your TV. If the power button on the remote is illuminated at this juncture, the correct Code has been entered.
• Release the ‘TV’ button and transmit various commands (volume and channel changes) to your TV to determine if the remote has been successfully programmed.
• However, if the power button on your RCA remote blinks four times, you have input an invalid code. Repeat step 2 and input another code specific to your television brand.

3. AUTOMATIC CODE SEARCH TECHNIQUE

Automatic ‘Code Search’ button is available on some RCA remotes. Using this option, you can program your remote automatically. Hence, let us learn the procedure;

• Press the power button on the device you wish to program your RCA remote.
• Press and hold the ‘Code Search’ icon while pointing the remote at the device (TV, for example).
• Release the trigger when the power indicator on the RCA remote illuminates.
• Press the TV button on the remote control. If you are programming a device other than a VCR, DVD Player, or Speaker, you must select the button designated for that device.
• Then, press the ON/OFF button on your remote while pointing it at the device. In 3 seconds, the remote will begin transmitting codes to the device.
• Press the ‘Enter’ key as soon as your television powers off. This phase must be completed within three seconds for the remote to store the compatible Code. Otherwise, you will be required to retry the procedure.
• Send a variety of commands to your device to test its functionality. Try the direct Code method if it still needs to be programmed.

LIST OF RCA UNIVERSAL REMOTE CODES WITH 5 DIGITS

Therefore, the list above contains the 4-digit RCA Universal remote codes for all devices, including the TV, DVD Player, and VCR. Some devices, such as contemporary televisions, require 5-digit RCA Universal remote codes for remote programming.

Therefore, you will follow the same pairing method but input the 5-digit Code. This article also contains a list of all 5-digit RCA codes.
