My RCA HDTV remote won't work with the regular tv. It was working fine last night until i pressed the tv botton and the volume button.

Note that this type of device is designed to be left on at all times, so should not be switched off each night. I suspect that it has some slight corruption in the user-settings, so a factory reset may be required.

Most RCA sets use a four digit code to control the v-chip. The code reset is different depending on the model. Try each number until you find the one that works for you.

1. Hold down the MENU button on the remote and VOLUME DOWN button 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 (zero) button on the remote and the VOLUME DOWN button on the TV itself 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 button on the remote and MENU button on the front of the TV at the same time for at least 4 seconds.

1. Hold down EJECT button on the front of the TV set and the MENU button on the remote at the same time for at least 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.

You will need to have the remote:
Press the VOL+ on the remote control and the CH+ button on the front of the TV.

The TV will prompt you to enter a new password.

You have hopefully gotten this resolved by now, but here are some simple steps if you still have questions, or need any more help.

To program the remote to the TV:
1. Hold down the clear TV button until all lights at the top of the remote light up
2. Punch in a 3-digit code (provided below for RCA tvs)
3. Press the # (pound) button
4. Try to power the tv on/off, and change the volume. If one or more of these functions do not work, start again at step 1 with a different code.
5. Press the SAT button once the remote is fully programmed

Newer brands of tvs are using new codes that old remotes don't have. Only older learing remotes from original remotes or USB upgradable or newer one that were made after the tv was made will work.

No problem, This issued will be only resolve with regular TV's, not LCD or PLASMA Tv's. Just press TV botton locate on the top leftside of the remote, right after hold the SETUP button for 3 seconds once the TV botton blink twice go and press 991 then 1 again, right after you have pressed 991 the TV botton will blink twice and when you press 1 will blink twice as well, after those steps keep pressing the channel up botton until your Tv shut off. That will work. Good luck

please follow the steps below:

TV
RED + SELECT (flashes twice)
TV
0056

try the volume if this works then press SELECT to save the code. If not then press TV again then the volume. repeat this step until the volume works then press the SELECT button to save the code.

Hi I had the same problem last night, so I took the batterys out  and left it for a Day, have just put them back and its working for the moment, hope that it keeps on working !!! good luck with yours.

this is the same type of problem happening with other rca models and I know it is the EPROM CHIP but why this is failing is either because of design flaw , dirty enviroment that they were made in , to much voltage or current to the chip or too much of a draw from the chip causing it to fail . Or even a random frequency from the IR sensor or its circut I'm still investigating and testing.
leave the tv unplugged for at least 3 weeks durring this time resolder any solder that don't look good , I did this and it lasted for about 6 months(always plugged in to the wall) before it started doing it again. model # 27v412t

the intruction are at the back of the battery .
1 turn on tv
2 press and hold Code Search untill all device bottons light( they will all turn green)
3 press tv button. tv botton will stay on
4 press power repeatedly untill tv turns off
5 press enter and you are all set
repeat 1-5 for vcr , ect
