RCA Universal Remote D771

Even though the package said this controller will work with a Samsung satellite receiver, I can't get it to. My receiver model is SIR-S300W. Do you know if they are compatible?

Also, I've lost my instruction book that came with the remote and they don't have a manual on the RCA website. When I try to follow directions I've found on the internet for programming it, the remote does not respond as it should (i.e. the light doesn't stay on when searching for codes).

Can you help me?

Thanks!!!
Cindy

RCA has the manual for the D771 here: http://www.rcaaudiovideo.com/remotes/6-8-devices/?sku=D771#manuals . The direct link to the manual is http://www.rcaaudiovideo.com/docs/common/D771/D771_OM.pdf .
Based on the copyright information in this manual, it should work with devices manufactured before 2007. (In general, universal remotes only work with devices released 6 months or more before the remote was programmed.) Since the SIR-S300W shows up on Amazon with a April 2005 date, I expect one of the codes below to work.

This manual doesn't have the Code List. That is available here: http://www.rcaaudiovideo.com/remote-code-finder/?sku=D771&productType=TV . For the D771, the available Samsung satellite receiver codes are 5202, 5212, 5213, 5225 . DirectTV satellite receivers use the code 5205 .

I hope this helps. If it doesn't work, try new batteries. You can check if the remote is giving a burst by taking a picture with most cell phones. (It takes two people. You need to snap the picture with the remote aimed at the camera as a button is pressed.) If the remote seems to work, then the IR receiver on the satellite receiver or that board may be faulty.

Maybe you are doing something wrong. Have a friend try to do it and see what happens.

Universals leave lots to be desired and you might just have to get an original OEM unit.

If none of the codes work then we have two other solutions:

1. Searching For Your Code

If you have tried all of the set-up codes for your brand of equipment ,or yourbrand is not listed, and you are still not able to get the unit to respond, trythe following procedure to search for your code.
If you don't find a code that works, the remote will flash four times when youreach the end of all the codes for this device type.

  1. PRESS the button for the device you want to program, (TV, VCR, CABLE, etc.), then RELEASE.
  2. PRESS and HOLD the SETUP button until the red LED flashes twice, then RELEASE.
  3. ENTER 9-9-1 (two blinks on the remote)
  4. ALTERNATE slowly between the POWER key and the DEVICE (TV, VCR, CABLE, etc.) button until your device turns off. (On VCR, LD, and CD players use PLAY instead of POWER)
    Make sure that the remote is pointed at your device during the search, You may have to press this sequences of buttons up to 100 times to search the entire library of codes.
  5. When your device turns OFF, PRESS the SETUP button and RELEASE it to lock in the code for your device.

2. Learn the buttons from the original

Line up your original remote and the head-to-head before completing thefollowing steps.
  1. PRESS and HOLD the SETUP button until the red LED flashes twice.
  2. PRESS 9 - 7 - 5, the red LED will flash twice.
  3. PRESS the DEVICE key where you wish to learn the function. The next 3 steps must be completed within 10 seconds.
  4. PRESS the button that will receive the learned function, the LED will flash rapidly.
  5. PRESS the button on the original remote to be learned.

Now you can repeat steps 3 through 5 to learn other functions onto other keysor press and hold SETUP until the Cinema's red light flashes twice to lock inyour new feature. (If the red light does not blink twice, stop and repeat stepsthrough 6).
To test the new feature, press and release the device key in which the newfeature was learned followed by the key on which the feature was learned

More help for programming your remote can be found here:

Hope that helps! Should you have any further questions,please feel free to post them here.
Television Video - DVD Audio Satellite Set Top Box Video - VCR Brand: Model (optional): clip_image001.gifclip_image001.gifWe could not find an exact match, we think this code will work. 10054 clip_image001.gifclip_image001.gifSetup Instructions
· Set the "Mode Switch" to TV.
· Press and hold the "Mute" button and the "Select" button until the visible LED blinks twice.
· Enter the 5 digit Code above.
· Try your new code and tell us how it worked!
You'll have to settle for that, use the middle power key in the tv device to power on & off the tv.


hope this may help;
