How To Set Up RCA Universal Remote-Control Codes:
You should check the appliances you intend to control with your RCA universal remote control before you do anything else. Turn them on and plug them in before attempting anything else. Ensure that your remote is fully functional by checking if the batteries are in good condition.
Here are the steps to set up RCA universal remote-control codes:
- Connect the RCA universal remote control to the appliance you wish to set up. This could be a TV, Blu-ray player, or home theater system.
- Use the remote to control the device. Pressing and holding the TV button is the first step in setting up a TV. Thereafter, the ON/OFF button of the remote will be illuminated and remain so.
- To turn off the TV, press and hold the TV button and the ON/OFF button at the same time. During this process, the ON/OFF button will automatically turn on and off.
- When the ON/OFF button lights up, let go of both buttons.
- After that, press and hold the ‘play’ or ‘slow’ buttons for five seconds. Your device should now turn off. Press the play button every five seconds until it turns off if it doesn’t.
- The appliance may be turned on by pressing the reverse button or continuing to press the button until it turns on.
- By pressing and releasing the stop button, the programming of the specific component is stored.
- You must repeat each step for every item of the appliance you want to program. As you press and release the stop button, keep storing the information for each item.
