Remotes won't work

It sounds like you may be having trouble programming your RCA universal remote to work with your 55" Polaroid TV. There are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Make sure you are using the correct code for your TV. RCA universal remotes come with a list of codes for different brands of TVs, so you will need to refer to the instructions for your remote to find the correct code for your TV.
2. Try manually inputting the code. Some universal remotes require you to manually enter the code for the device you are trying to control, rather than using the automatic search function. Refer to your remote's instructions for more information on manual code entry.
3. Check the batteries in your remote. Weak or dead batteries can cause issues with remote functionality.
4. Check if the remote is in the correct mode for the device you are trying to control. Some universal remotes have multiple modes for controlling different types of devices, such as TV mode, DVD mode, etc.
5. Check if you have the right remote for your TV, if not, try to find the right remote.

If none of these troubleshooting steps work, you may need to contact the manufacturer of your TV or the manufacturer of your universal remote for further assistance.

If the codes for your Digital Lab DLU-5004B universal remote are not working with your RCA TV, there are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check the manufacturer's website: Some manufacturers may have updated or additional codes available for their TVs. You can check the manufacturer's website to see if there are any new codes that may work with your TV.
2. Try a different code: If the codes provided in the remote's manual are not working, you can try using a different code for your TV brand. You can find a list of codes for different TV brands online or in the manual for your universal remote.
3. Check the remote's battery: Make sure the remote's battery is charged and properly installed. A weak or dead battery can cause the remote to malfunction.
4. Reset the remote: Resetting the remote may help resolve any issues with the remote's programming. To reset the remote, remove the battery and press any button on the remote for at least 15 seconds. Then, reinsert the battery and try the codes again.
5. Check the TV's compatibility: Some TVs may not be compatible with universal remotes, in which case you will need to use the TV's original remote or a different universal remote that is compatible with your TV.

If these troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, it is possible that there is a problem with the remote or the TV itself. In this case, it is recommended to bring your TV and remote to a professional for further diagnosis and repair.

If the infrared sensor inside the TV is faulty, TV won't respond to any remote controls. You can make it sure by looking into TVs standby light. If standby light on TVs front panel blinks once, when you press a key in the remtote control, make sure that the sensor inside is working properly, and the code you are trying to enter is non once for your Brand TV, If there is no blinks as such stated above, make sure that the infrared sensor inside your TV is faulty.

Many of the RCA TVs are not compatible with universal remotes. Only the RCA 246 remote works with many of the TVs. I bought a floor model RCA from best buy, at a discount, without a remote. I had to purchase the RCA 246 remote for the tv to work. I found one but I recently cracked the screen of the tv so I have no need for the remote. I listed it on ebay at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140550835863&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT

This remote does not handle combination TV/VCR devices. You will need a different remote. You can get an exact replacement remote here: http://remotes.com/store/rca/t25208.html .

It will control the TV with the code 1000 (most likely). Other RCA TV codes are 11447, 10051, 10093, 10679, 11047, 11147, 11247, 11347, 11781, 12002, 12187. The manual and code list for the remote are available here: http://www.rcaaudiovideo.com/support/?kw=RCR311W . The VCR part uses a code that isn't programmed into the remote. (Remotes generally only have codes for devices released 6 months or more before the remote was programmed. Many of the older RCA universal remotes never had their coding lists updated to include combination units.)

BTW, the manual for your TV is here: http://www.managemylife.com/mmh/owner_manuals/14623/RCA-TV-VCR-or-DVD-Combo-L0109139?brand_name_search=entertainment .

I wish that I had better news.

How old are the remotes relative to the TV in question? If the remotes are older than the TV or were programmed within 6 months of this TV being released, then the code you need wasn't included in the remote's programming. In addition, unfortunately, many universal remotes do not work on combination TVs (with the DVD player and VCR built-in).

You can try to search through all the codes for the remote if your remotes have that feature. (On RCA remotes, turn on the TV, press and hold the Code Search button until the indicator light comes on, then press and release the TV button. Then press the On/Off button repeatedly until the TV turns off. Press Enter and see if the other functions of the remote work. If they do not, repeat the search. Then do the same but press the DVD and VCR buttons instead of the TV button.)

More likely you need a newer universal remote, a programmable (via computer USB) universal remote or a substitute remote from the manufacturer. See http://www.remotes.com/remotes/servlet/rs?a=gmi&uuid=12845952409830&smodel=TDC2075&brand_pn=SANSUI_TDC2075 for an exact substitute remote that will replace the original remote.

I hope this helps.
