RCR312W problem I purchased that universal remote last year and it was working fine until one day, it didn't work anymore. When I press any buttons at all, the on/off button illuminates RED. I thought I pressed something wrong so recently, I bought the exact same remote. 2 weeks later, it does the EXACT same thing..worked fine and now on/off button illuminates red..what is going on here? what does the red light mean? Changing the battery doesn't work. Please help!

Turn on the TV, Press and hold down the TV button while entering one of the four digit codes, if the ON/OFF turns off on the last digit entered, that's the correct code, if not, repeat steps, using a different code until it does..here are the codes,..1137,1141,1235.....hope this was helpful...

You have to hold the component button (TV) and enter the code from http://www.rca.com/codefinder. The SKU it asks for, on my RCR312W, was under the lid from the batteries. Hope it helps.

RCA Universal Remote Programming Codes
RCA Universal Remote Programming Unknown Code

hold power and tv button same time
until power buttton stays on then
slowly hit power button until tv turns off then hit stop button and tv will work with remote

I found this at:

http://www.wikihow.com/Program-an-RCA-RCR312W-Remote

It is stated that it was obtained from the RCA Website - but I could not find anything other than a picture of the remote there.

1) Turn on the component (the tv, dvd, etc).

2) Hold the TV (or DVD) button and the on/off button at the same time. It will stay lit.

3) Press the play button every five seconds until the component turns off. Each time the Play button is pressed, the illuminated ON-OFF button blinks ten times and a block of 10 codes is sent to your component. This process continues until all the codes in the Code Lists have been searched. If the component has not turned off after all codes have been searched, the illuminated ON-OFF button blinks four times, turns off, and the Auto Code Search Entry method is exited.

4) When the component turns off, press and release the REVERSE button, then wait two seconds to see if the component turns on again.

5) If the component does not respond, continue to press the REVERSE button EVERY TWO SECONDS UNTIL THE COMPONENT TURNS ON again. This will isolate the correct code in the last block of codes sent. Each time the REVERSE button is pressed, the illuminated ON-OFF button blinks. If the REVERSE button is accidentally pressed after the component responds, press and release the FORWARD button. Wait two seconds to see if the component turns off again.

6) To save the new code, press and release the STOP button.

7) The illuminated ON-OFF button turns off. You must press the STOP button to save the code.

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.

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).
