HOW TO USE DIRECT CODE PROGRAMMING

The auto-programming function is not always effective. Your RCA universal remote came with a codebook, which has thousands of codes from almost every TV manufacturer. To use it, follow these steps:

1. Read the TV device section of the codebook included with the RCA Universal Remote.

   Note: The codebook included with the RCA Universal Remote has thousands of codes compatible with different TVs, Blu-ray Players, and Soundbars.

2. Find your TV brand in the codebook.

3. Circle the potential codes.

   Note: RCA Universal Codes are numeric and vary in length depending on the brand of the device. For example, an LG Television Universal Remote code looks like this. “11423”

4. Hold down the TV button, the power light will become illuminated.

5. Keep holding the TV button as you input the marked code using the numeric buttons on the RCA Universal Remote. An example code is 11423 for an LG Television.

6. If the power light remains illuminated, you have entered the code correctly. If the light flashes four times, you’ll need to attempt another code.

7. Once the proper code has been entered, release the TV button.

8. Test the various functions, including volume, menu, etc.
