I have tried every code that Directv lists for all RCA products and none have worked. Is it even possible to control my RCA surround sound RT2580 with this universal remote from Directv?
I hate to say it's unlikely that a "Universal" remote from DirectTV has compatibility with every system and manufacturer. However, my directTV model remote (and there are numerous ones) has a search function with which you don't need to enter a code... it finds one for you. If the control documentation doesn't mention such an option (Code Find), then I'd say your SOL. I'd recommend a Universal Remote made for no specific purpose but to be a UR... using a system included UR never comes off very well.
The Directv RC65 remote code, for the RCA RT2580 Home Theater is 31254. Set it up for AUX2. It won't work after inputting the code on the RC65, you must do the following after you input the code.
On the remote, after inputting 31254 on the RC65, do the following; 1. Press mute and select, wait for the green led at the top to blink twice. 3. Input the code 993. You are done.
Code 993 deselects Directv as the default for audio on all remote inputs (Directv, Aux1, Aux2, TV). This allows code 31254 to control the RCA RT2580 audio volume when switched to Aux2. Not all remote control buttons will work on the RT2580 (on/off for example) and the the keypad will change your selected RT2580 channel (FM, Video, Tape, etc), but you will be able to control volume level from your chair by switching from either Directv or TV to Aux2.
This is an old Home theater that came out prior to DVD players and while it does an excellent job, it is a bit long in the tooth!
