Troubleshooting the remote control programming
Problem Solution
Red light does not blink when you press a key. Replace the batteries with two (2) new AA non-
rechargeable batteries.
Red light blinks when you press a key, but
home entertainment component does not
respond.
Make sure the remote control is aimed at your home
entertainment component and is not farther than
15 feet away.
Remote control does not control home
entertainment components or commands are
not working properly.
Try all listed codes for the component brands being set up.
Make sure they can be operated with an infrared remote
control.
No volume on a 2nd TV. Follow instructions in “Changing Volume Lock.”
CH+, CH–, and CH.RTN do not work for your
RCA TV.
Due to RCA design (1983-1987), only the original remote
control will operate these functions.
Changing channels does not work properly. If original remote control required pressing ENTER to
change channels, press ENTER on the Remote control after
entering the channel number.
Tried “Search Method” and still could not find
a working code.
Try the “Search Method” again after clearing out the
component button as follows: Press and hold SETUP until
red light blinks twice, then release. Next enter 9 - 9 - 2.
Then press and release the component button to be cleared
twice.
