Hello
To unlock your RCA tv, do the following

Most RCA and GE TV sets use a four digit code to control the v-chip. The code reset procedure is
different depending on the model. Try each method until you find one that works:

1. Hold down MENU on the remote and VOLUME DOWN on the TV it's self at the same time for at least 4 seconds. The set won't say so, but the lock will be unlocked
2. Hold down the 0 on the remote and the VOLUME DOWN buttons on the TV its self at the same time for at least 4 seconds. The set won't say so, but the lock will be unlocked
3. Hold down the MENU button on the front of the TV and the TV button on the remote at the same time for at least 4 seconds.
4. Hold down GO BACK on the remote and MENU on the front of the TV at the same time for at least 4 seconds.
5. Hold down Eject key on the front of the tv and MENU button on the remote at the same time for atleast 4 seconds.

Depending on the model, one of the methods should unlock the V-chip. Now, if desired, you can
change the settings on the V-chip by going to the MENU and going to PARENTAL CONTROLS, or on some sets, going to MENU and then going to TV SETUP, then to V-CHIP SET.

If you have the original remote (RC-A07) for Sinotec tv, then press and hold down the Music button for about 10 seconds.
OK.

There are two code types for sky remotes, Brand Codes & Direct Codes.

The codes for Alba are:

Brand - 0043

Direct - 037, 065, 246, 399, 263, 064, 446

There is a small difference in the way they are set.

To program using the 3 digit code - Direct Code
1) Switch on the TV set
2) Press the TV button on the Sky Remote
3) Hold down the select and red buttons for 2-3 seconds until the LED blinks twice
4) Enter the 3 digit code
5) Press the select button to store
Press TV and any number to test, If this does not operate the TV set try below.

To program using the 4 digit code - Brand Code
1) Switch on the TV set
2) Press the TV button on the Sky Remote
3) Hold down the select and red buttons for 2-3 seconds until the LED blinks twice
4) Press the TV button on the Sky Remote again
5) Enter the 4 digit code for your make of TV
6) The LED should blink twice, if not recheck the 4 digit code used and go back to 1
7) Press the standby button on the Sky Remote (The TV should go to standby)
8) Press select to store this setting
If the TV does not go into standby press the TV button then the standby button, then TV then standby, keep repeating this until successful. This will scan the codes used for a particular make of TV.

Codes for Apex are 595, 618, 743, 744, 005, 006, 019, 020, 120, 745, and 757.

Codes for Sony tv are 500, 514, 578, 640, 670, 690, and 758.


If these dont work here is what is called a power scan. It will go through all the codes in the remote and find the right code for your tv.
