Rca remote with no code search button

I searched a long time for this solution as my rca systemlink4 DID NOT have a code search button either. Here is what I did to program the remote.

Using Automatic Code Search



The following instructions can be used to program the remote to control many
of the components connected to your TV. If you want to exit the automatic
code search without programming any of your components, press the CLEAR
button until the LED (red light) turns off.


1. Turn on the component you want to control (VCR, satellite receiver, etc.)

2. Press and hold the button you want to program. While holding the
component button, press and hold ON•OFF until the LED on the remote
control turns on, then release both buttons.
Note: The AUX button can only be programmed using direct code entry. See
"Using Direct Entry," later in this section, for details.


3. Point the remote at the component, press and release PLAY, then wait five
seconds or until the LED stops flashing.
At this point the remote control is searching for the correct code to program.
If, after five seconds, the component you want to control does not turn off,
press and release PLAY again to tell the remote to search the next set of
codes.

Continue pressing and releasing PLAY until the component turns off or you
have searched through all of the codes. There are 20 total sets of codes. If
the component does not turn off after pressing PLAY 20 times, then the
remote cannot control that particular component.

If the component you want to control does turn off:

1. Press and release REVERSE, then wait two seconds. Repeat this step until the
component turns back on.

2. To finish, press and hold STOP until the LED on the remote control turns
off.

You didn't mention the model of the remote so try http://www.fixya.com/support/t839679-rca_remote_no_code_search_button
and see if it is listed.
