RCA universal remote control can be programmed to your device in this post. Depending on the revision number of the remote and the brand of the device, every device such as TV, DVD, digital set-top box, digital converter, etc., has a specific code. We can find the correct code with the help of the code finder. After that, a series of steps will be followed to pair the devices.
Therefore, we need to know the brand name of the device and the exact revision number of the remote to figure out the pairing code.
Can you tell me what revision number my RCA remote has?
First, remove the battery cover.
Afterwards, remove the batteries and examine the labels on the remote, which will provide information such as the model number, revision number, manufacturing information, etc.
A revision number consists of five or six digits. There is a number from there that should be noted. There are times when the number is prefixed with an alphabet, usually a letter such as R or D.
For various models, there are currently over 30 revision codes available.
Where can I find the RCA Universal Remote Codes?
Ensure that the remote is programmed to the right device. The importance of this step cannot be overstated. In the event that you fail to get the correct code, everything you do will be in vain.
The remote code finder page offers the simplest way to acquire the code directly from the official source.
By selecting the three drop-down menus, you can select the revision number of the remote, the brand name of the device, and the device category of the device. There will be a list of possible codes. Putting them down on paper is not a good idea.
Additionally, the remote control pack includes a code booklet that can be used to get the code. For each device, there is a separate booklet containing the codes.
With the device codes ready, we are ready to go.
How to program RCA universal remote?
Manual direct code entry method
- Make sure your device is turned on before pairing the remote.
- Maintain a point of contact with the RCA universal remote as long as the device is being programmed
- If you press and hold down the device button for a few seconds, the power button will turn on (such as the TV, DVD, STRM, AUX, SAT).
- By keeping the device button pressed when entering the device code, the power button will turn off.
- When the remote is successfully programmed, the power button will turn ON again after a few seconds
In this case, the power button will blink four times and then turn off, indicating that the wrong code has been entered. Follow the steps given above after checking the code.
Check that all the buttons work with the device when you are notified that the remote has been paired successfully.
What is the procedure for programming RCA remotes without codes? (When there is a button to search for codes)
There may be a setup button on some RCA remotes instead of a code search button. Such remotes can also be programmed using the same method.
- Point the remote at the device you wish to control and turn it on
- When the RED light turns on, press and hold the Code search/Setup button
- Pressing and releasing the device button causes the light to blink and then remain on for a short period of time
- Once the power button has been pressed and released, the device will turn off
- Save the settings and code when the device is turned off by pressing the Enter button
- The device’s buttons should all work if they are all connected
This codeless pairing can be done with any of your TVs, including Vizio TV, Samsung TV, etc.
Playing, rewinding, and stopping music with the RCA universal remote control
There is still a way to program a remote without a code search button even if it lacks a code search button.
- Your device should be turned on
- Hold the device button on the remote while pointing it at the device
- The power button turns on while you hold the device button
- By holding the device button, you will turn off the power button by holding the power button
- As soon as you release both buttons, the Power button will turn back on.
- Until the device turns off, hold down the PLAY button for 5 seconds at a time
- To turn the device OFF again, press the Reverse (REWIND) key every 2 seconds
- The code will now be saved when you press STOP
- The device should be checked for further use by checking all the buttons.
Types of RCA remotes
It is possible to choose from a variety of types. There are three devices, four devices, six devices, and eight devices supported. A RCA universal remote is capable of programming such a large number of devices with one remote. A three-device remote can be programmed to all three devices if you have the specific codes for Samsung TV, Vizio TV, and Sony DVD player.
Roku stick, Firestick, and other streaming devices come with the exclusive remote.
Explanation of device buttons
A device button can be classified into four types.
TV – Programming for your television, including smart TVs
DVD – Players and DVD pairing

Conclusion
You shouldn’t care about the model number of the remote before finding the device code, but you should consider the revision number. A mismatch between the device code and the remote will cause it to not pair.
