When trying to use the remote I get an RC3 error code and the remote won't control any function.
I absolutely can't believe this worked for me, I'm so excited!! My error was RC3; my remote had an OK button (not Enter) for a Panasonic DVD/VHS recorder. I held down OK and the number 3 and the remote started working!! Thank you so much, I was getting very frustrated!
I found the fix in the Guide book for my Panasonic DVD player (DMR-ES20). Push the Enter button and the # it indicates on the display (e.g. RC3) on the remote for at least 3 seconds. Fixed it!!! woohoo!
Had the same problem on new unit. Was getting ready to ship it back. This worked GREAT. Thank you so much. Great servive.
Thx
1* Manually turn on the component you want the remote to
control.
2* Locate the enclosed Code Lists. Find the list for the
component you wish to program. Find your component's
brand. You will see a listing of four-digit codes for each
brand. If your brand isn't listed, use one of the Code Search
methods to program the remote control.
3* Press and hold the component key (TV,
VCR•DVD, SAT•CBL) you wish to
program. The illuminated ON•OFF key
turns on and remains on. If you release
the component key at any time during the Direct Code
Entry procedure, the illuminated ON•OFF key blinks four
times, and the process is exited.
4* While holding down the component key, consult the
Code Lists for the four-digit code that corresponds to your
component's brand and use the number keys (0-9) on the
keypad to enter it. While you are pressing the numbers, the
illuminated ON•OFF key turns off.
5* After the fourth number is entered, the illuminated ON•OFF
key turns on. At this time, release the component key. If the
illuminated ON•OFF key turns off, you have entered a valid
code and have followed the correct procedure for Direct
Code Entry
If you enter a code number that is not in the Code Lists or
you do not follow all of the steps for Direct Code Entry,
the illuminated ON•OFF key blinks four times when the
component key is released. This is an indication that a
programming error has occurred. In that case, repeat the
Direct Code Entry process from step 3.
Tip: Throughout the programming of each key, be sure to keep the
remote pointed at the IR sensor of the component you are currently
programming the remote to control.
6* To confirm that the component key is programmed with
the correct code for maximum functionality, test the
component. Attempt to control a variety of the component's
functions with the remote. If some of the features of your
components do not work, try programming the remote with
a different code in the list until you find the code that allows
the remote to control the majority of your component's
functions. Different codes can provide different levels of
functionality
