Greetings to the ultimate guide to the process of programming your RCA universal remote control. The world has become quite busy, and everyone wants to make their life as easy as possible – that is how simple life has become in the modern world. Perhaps the best example of that is how we have become so dependent on our remote controls. They have relieved our burden of frequent Blu-ray switching from our television, our streaming software, and even our sound system. But, if you have a universal remote control then life becomes even easier. This guide is useful if you own an RCA universal remote control to learn how to go about programming the remote for a host of electronics.
1. Identifying the Device Codes
The first and probably the most important step in programming your RCA universal remote control is to get the right device codes. Some devices that you may need to program include your television, cable box or DVD player, and you will unlikely find a single universal code that works for all of them. These codes, for instance, can be found in the user manual or on the internet. Missing RCA codes or not finding the code of your device you can use the RCA code search function also.
2. The lesson discusses how students can search for code on their own.
The next procedure you need to follow is learning how to activate the code search on your RCA universal remote control. To do this, you should hold down the “Code Search” button on the remote until the device that you are attempting to program flashes. If it is not possible to identify an indicator light on your device then you should press the power button of the device to observe if the device shuts down or not. If it does, that would mean something good.
3. Entering the Device Code
Now it’s time to enter the device code. Find the second button from the top wherein you can see a rectangle box named “Program” then press it. Press the button – “Code Search.” You should see the device light blink once when the code is being entered by you.
4. Testing Your Remote
After placing the device code you need to test your remote so that you can be certain that it is functioning properly. Try using the corresponding buttons on your RCA universal remote control to switch on the device you’re trying to command, if it lights up then it means it has been responding. So, if all goes right, congratulations in advance. You’ve learned to program a remote successfully. I thought of that beforehand but it would be the last resort if the above steps were not implemented.
5. Powering the code search function
If the first code did not work, don’t lose hope. If you do not know the right code for your particular device, you can use the code search tab to look for the right code. To do this turn on the device you want to control by cable then press the “Code Search” key on the RCA universal remote control. Then scan the button for the device that you have set the programme to be activated by such as the power button of the TV. Hold these buttons down while you now switch to pressing the “Channel Up” button on your remote. The device should switch off implying that the code search feature has got a code that fits your device. Keep pressing the “Code Search” button one more time until the code set becomes fixed.
6. Storing Multiple Device Codes
When using the RCA universal remote control to operate more than one device, you have to add several device codes to the universal remote. This can be done by going to the code search of each device and performing the steps mentioned above. Having taught all inputs to the equipment sets, with each having a button on a remote, you can shift between the sets.
7. Tips and Tricks
Here are some additional tips and tricks to help you get the most out of your RCA universal remote control:
a) If you face problems in looking for the right code for your device, just surf device code database over the internet. You can also get additional help from RCA’s customer support.
b) To check for the efficiency of your RCA universal remote control, you should replace batteries often.
c) If you are having problems with your remote, try setting it to its factory preset by pressing the ‘Code Search button and then giving the ‘Program button several seconds of continuous pressing.
Conclusion:
Well done, you have finally managed to program your RCA universal remote control. This ultimate guide has told you about where you can find the code search option, where to type the device codes, and how to search for the best code in the code search option for your device. In addition to teaching you how you can master the art of controlling several devices in the comfort of your home, this guide will save you a lot of time and embarrassment. So, you can use your RCA universal remote control without any hesitation and enjoy the comforts that come with it.
