How to program an RCA universal remote with any device

There are four ways to program an RCA Universal Remote Control with any device, as follows:

Table of Contents
  1. By Auto Code Search Programming. In this method, the RCA universal remote automatically goes through all the codes for the device you are trying to control. Even though it’s the easiest method, it can sometimes take much longer than the other methods. 
  2. By Direct Code Entry Programming. This method lets you enter a code from the RCA code list for your device brand. This is the most difficult method but it’s way faster than the others.
  3. By Brand Code Search Programming. In this method, the RCA universal remote searches through the codes for select brands of devices. It is not as easy as the Auto Code Search but it’s probably the fastest amongst all four methods.  
  4. By Manual Code Search Programming. Here you have to manually go through all the codes for the device you are trying to control.

Prepare your RCA Universal remote control

Your universal remote requires two AA alkaline batteries (batteries may or may not be included, depending on model).

Installing the RCA universal remote control’s batteries

  • Remove the battery compartment cover.
  • Insert the batteries, matching the batteries to the (+) and (–) marks inside the battery compartment.
  • Push the battery cover back into place.

Battery Precautions

  • Do not mix old and new batteries.
  • Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.
  • Always remove old, weak or worn-out batteries promptly and recycle or dispose of them in accordance with Local and National Regulations.

Battery Saver

Your universal remote control saves battery power by automatically turning off if any key is pressed for more than 60 seconds. 

This saves your battery life should your remote get stuck in a place where the keys remain depressed, such as between sofa cushions.

Method 1: The Auto Code Search Programming method (Programming RCA universal remote without codes)

The Auto Code Search function automatically scans through all the codes related to the device you aim to control. Once you come across the code that operates your device, you may terminate the search and save the code.

Points to Note while using the Auto Code Search RCA universal remote control programming

Note that each device key is associated with a type of device. 

  • The TV button is preset to search for TVs. 
  • The SAT, CBL, and DTC buttons are preset for satellite receivers, cable boxes or digital TV converters.
  • The VCR and DVD buttons are preset for VCRs or DVD players. 
  • To exit without saving a new code at any point in the Auto Code Search, press the GO BACK key.
  • Throughout the programming of each key, be sure to keep the remote pointed at the IR sensor of the device you are currently programming the remote to control.
  • Test the remote with the device to make sure the device key is programmed with the correct code for maximum functionality. If some features don’t work, try a different code. See the “Testing the Code for Maximum Functionality” section below for more information.
  • During the Auto Code Search, the remote ignores keypresses that aren’t part of the search.
  • The search times out after two minutes (the ON/OFF key blinks four times and turns off, and the last programmed code under that device key is retained).
  • The ON/OFF key blinks four times and turns off when the remote has gone through all the codes. The remote exits the Auto Code Search. If your device hasn’t turned off yet, try a different search method.
  • Step 1: Manually turn on the device you want to control and keep the remote pointed at the IR sensor of the device you are currently programming the remote to control.
  • Step 2: If you’re programming a TV or SAT, CBL, DTC, press and hold the TV Key or SAT/CBL/DTC key respectively then go to step 5 below. 
  • Step 3: If you’re programming a VCR or DVD, press and hold the VCR/DVD key. 
  • Step 4: While you’re holding down the VCR/DVD key, use your other hand to press the Number key for the type of device you want to control with this key: 2 for VCR, 3 for DVD.
  • Step 5: Press and hold the device key you want to program. While you’re holding down the device key, use your other hand to press and hold the remote’s ON/OFF key at the same time.
  • Step 6: Wait until the ON/OFF key comes on and stays on. Then release both keys.
  • Step 7: Point the remote directly to the front panel of the device you want to control. 
  • Step 8: Press PLAY on the remote and wait 5 seconds.  The remote is testing a batch of 10 codes on your device.
  • Step 9: Did your device turn off? If yes, go to step 10. If not, Press PLAY again. The remote tests the next batch of 10 codes. Keep pressing PLAY every 5 seconds until your device turns off.
  • Step 10: When your device turns off, press the REVERSE key on the remote and wait at least 2 seconds. The remote tries the last of the previous ten codes.
  • Step 11: If your device turns on, press the STOP key. You’re done! You’ve successfully programmed your device.
  • Step 12: If your device doesn’t turn on,  press REVERSE again. The remote will test the next code in the batch. Keep pressing REVERSE every 2 seconds until your device turns back on. When it does, press the STOP key.

If you accidentally press the REVERSE key after your device turns on, press the FORWARD key. Then, wait two seconds to see if your device turns off again.

Testing the RCA Auto Search Code for Maximum Functionality

  1. Try a variety of the device’s functions with the remote. If some device features don’t work, go to the next step to try a different code.
  2. Repeat the Auto Code Search Method from the beginning. When your device turns off, do not stop searching. Instead, with the unit now off, continue to press the PLAY key every 5 seconds until the unit turns back on.
  3. Once the unit turns back on, press the REVERSE key on the remote every 2 seconds until your device turns off again. When your device turns off again, press the STOP key.
  4. Test the key’s functionality again by attempting to control a variety of the device functions. If the code that has been stored controls the majority of the device’s functions, programming is complete. If the code stored does not give maximum functionality, try another code.

You can program an RCA universal remote to a TV without using a code through the Auto Programming method.

  1. Turn on your TV.
  2. Point the RCA universal remote control to the TV.
  3. Press and hold the TV button first with one finger.
  4. While still holding the TV button, press and hold the Power button with another finger until the power button lights up.
  5. After the Power button lights up, release both buttons.
  6. Next, press and hold the Play button for about five seconds until your TV turns on.
  7. If your TV doesn’t turn on after five seconds, first release the play button, then press and hold it again for another five seconds.
  8. Release the Play button as soon as your TV turns on.
  9. Now press the rewind button (or reverse button) once every five seconds until your TV turns off.
  10. Once your TV turns off, stop pressing the Rewind button. 
  11. Finally, press the Stop button to save the RCA universal remote control settings.

Method 2: The Direct Code Entry Programming method

Direct Code Entry lets you enter a code from the accompanying code list for your brand of device. It’s not as easy as the other methods, but it’s potentially the fastest method.

Points to Note while using the Direct Code Entry RCA universal remote control programming method

  • The TV button is preset to search for TVs. 
  • The SAT, CBL, and DTC buttons are preset for satellite receivers, cable boxes or digital TV converters.
  • The VCR and DVD buttons are preset for VCRs or DVD players.
  • The ON/OFF key serves as an indicator light during programming, giving you feedback at each stage of the process.
  • Remember to enter the code for future reference in the box provided in the Code Retrieval section of this manual. 
  • If your brand isn’t listed in the code list, use one of the Code Search methods to program the remote control. (Refer to the Auto and Manual Code Search methods.)
  • If you release the device key any time during the Direct Code Entry procedure, the ON/OFF key blinks four times, and the process is exited. The last programmed code under the device key is retained.
  • Test the remote with the device to make sure the device key is programmed with the correct code for maximum functionality. If some features don’t work, try a different code in the list

How to program an RCA universal remote control with any device using Direct Code Entry

  • Step 1: Manually turn on the device you want to control.
  • Step 2: Find the Code List that came with the remote. 
  • Step 3: Locate the section for the type of device you’re trying to program, and find your brand in that section. 
  • Step 4: Circle the codes for your brand and keep them handy
  • Step 5: Keep the remote pointed at the IR sensor of the device you are currently programming the remote to control.
  • Step 6: Press and hold the device key you want to program (the ON/OFF key comes on). 
  • Step 7: While you’re holding down the device key, use your other hand and enter the first five-digit code for your brand in the code list (the ON/OFF key goes off after the first digit).
  • Step 8: When you’ve finished entering the five-digit code, keep holding down the device key and look at the ON/OFF key.
  • Step 9: If the ON/OFF key is on, then you’re done! You’ve programmed your RCA universal remote control.
  • Step 10: If the ON/OFF key blinks four times and turns off, that means you have either entered a code number that is not in the code lists or missed a step in the code entry procedure. Try step 6 again.

How to Program the standard original RCA universal remote control with a TV using Direct Code Entry

This method requires entering a code, one at a time from the code list in the table above.

  1. Visit the table above to see the list of codes for the TV.
  2. Turn on your TV.
  3. Press and hold the TV button (for about 5 seconds) until the power button illuminates. Don’t let go of the TV button.
  4. While still holding the TV button, type the first code for your TV (from the TV codes list below).
  5. The codes can be 2, 3, 4 or 5 digits depending on the universal remote control version.
  6. Keep holding the TV button and check if the power key is lit.
  7. If the power key stays lit without flashing, that means you have entered the correct code.
  8. In that case you can release the TV button and start using your RCA remote to test the various control functions of your TV.
  9. Sometimes, not all of the TV functions may work. In that case, you have to reprogram the RCA universal remote with the next code of your TV.
  10. If you entered the wrong code, the power key will blink four times.
  11. If the code you entered was wrong, then continue holding the TV button and re-enter another code.
  12. Repeat this process until you find the correct code for your TV that enables all its functions.

How to Program the revised RCA universal remote control R271U1 or R271U2 with a TV using Direct Code Entry

  • Step 10: Point the remote directly at the front panel of the device you want to control. 
  • Step 11: Press ON/OFF key on the remote and wait 2 seconds. The remote will test a single code for your device’s brand.
  • Step 12: If the device turns off, press the STOP key to store the code. You’re done! You’ve programmed the RCA universal remote control with your device.
  • Step 13: If the device didn’t turn off, press the ON/OFF key again. The remote will test the next code for your brand.
  • Step 14: Keep pressing ON/OFF every 2 seconds until your device turns off. When it does, press STOP.

Testing the RCA Brand Search Code for Maximum Functionality

  1. Try a variety of the device’s functions with the remote. If some device features don’t work, go to the next step to try a different code.
  2. Repeat the Brand Code Search from the beginning. When the device turns off for the first time, don’t press the STOP key, which would store the same code. Instead, with the unit now off, continue to press the ON•OFF key repeatedly until the unit turns back on.
  3. Once the unit turns back on, you have found another code that operates the device. Press the STOP key.
  4. Test the key’s functionality again by attempting to control a variety of the device’s functions. If the code that has been stored controls the majority of the device’s functions, programming is complete. If the code stored does not give maximum functionality, try another code.

Method 4: The Manual Code Search Programming method

The Manual Code Search lets you go one-by-one through all the codes for the device you’re trying to control. When you find the one that operates your device, you can stop the search and store that code.

The Manual Code Search method may take a long time because the remote searches through all of the codes in its memory one-by-one. If your brand is listed in the Brand Codes or the Code Lists, first try the Brand Code Search or the Direct Code Entry method.
