Method 1 of 3: Find your remote

  1. Find the model number of the device (may be on the back of the device). Remove the battery cover on the back and find the model number: for example RCR412S.
  2. Go to RCA Remote Code Finder. Click the Model pop-up menu, and select your model from the list.
  3. You can also press the button at the top left. Enter your model number here and click on the magnifying glass. Once found, you can view the manual or the entire code list - both as PDF.
  4. Pay attention: in case you cannot find the model number on the RCA website, go to this website. Find your remote, click on it and look at the bottom of the page where it says "Originally supplied with modelsThese are model numbers for VCRs that your remote also works with, or was supplied with.

Method 2 of 3: Programming your remote

  1. Press and hold the TV button on the remote control. The LED will light up and stay on. Continue to hold the TV button.
  2. Enter the code. Hold down the TV button and enter the code for your TV or video player with your remote control. The LED turns off when you enter the numbers, and turns on again when you're done.
  3. Release the TV button. The LED will light up briefly and go out when the number is entered correctly, or will blink 4 times if an error is detected.
  4. Change the channel to see if it was successful.
    • Note: Not all functions will be supported on all models, but the standard functions such as switching channels on the TV and the playback controls of a VCR should work without any problems.

  5. Press and hold the stop button until the light goes out. This will save the code.
