RCA Universal Remote Codes — Complete List by TV Brand

RCA remotes use 3-digit, 4-digit, or 5-digit codes depending on the model. Newer models from 2015 onward use 5-digit codes. Check your remote’s model number to know which format applies — see the model guide below. Always start with 5-digit codes if your remote accepts them; they have the highest compatibility with modern TVs.

💡 TIP: Start with 5-digit code 10702 for Samsung, 10856 for LG, 11758 for Vizio, and 10810 for Sony. These four codes cover the majority of modern TVs sold in the US since 2015.

How to Program an RCA Universal Remote — 4 Methods

RCA remotes can be programmed using 4 methods. Method 1 (Direct Code Entry) is fastest when you have a code. Method 2 (Auto Search) works without a code. Method 3 (Code Search Button) is for remotes with a dedicated CODE SEARCH key. Method 4 is an automatic scan using the CODE SEARCH button.

Method 1 — Direct Code Entry (Hold TV Button)

This is the standard method for all modern RCA remotes. Use it when you have a code from the table above.

1. Turn on your TV manually using the physical button on the TV itself.
2. Point your RCA remote directly at the TV’s IR sensor (usually a small dark dot at the bottom edge of the screen).
3. Press and hold the TV button on the remote. The Power button LED will light up and stay on.
4. While still holding the TV button, enter your code from the list using the number pad.
5. If the LED stays lit after the last digit — the code was accepted. Release the TV button.
6. Test by pressing Power. If the TV turns off, programming is complete.
7. If the LED blinks 4 times, the code was rejected. Repeat steps 3–6 with the next code on the list.

💡 TIP: Always start with 5-digit codes if your remote model number has three or more digits after RCR (e.g., RCR414, RCR503). Five-digit codes have the highest compatibility with TVs made after 2012.

Method 2 — Auto Search (TV Button + Power Button)

Use this method when you don’t have a code, or when every code from the list has failed. The remote cycles through all codes automatically and finds one that works.

8. Turn on your TV.
9. Press and hold the TV button AND the Power button simultaneously for 3 seconds.
10. The LED will turn off then turn back on. This confirms auto-search mode has started.
11. Press the Play button once every 5 seconds while pointing the remote at the TV.
12. When the TV turns off, STOP pressing immediately. The remote has found the code.
13. Press the Reverse button once every 2 seconds until the TV turns back on. This fine-tunes the exact code.
14. Press Stop to save the code. Programming is complete.

⚠ NOTE: This method can take 3–10 minutes. Be patient and press Play slowly. If you press too fast, you’ll skip the working code. The Reverse step is unique to RCA remotes — it’s the mechanism that locks in the exact code.

Method 3 — Code Search Button (Dedicated Button Models)

Used on remotes that have a dedicated CODE SEARCH button — such as the RCR503BE and most RCR4xxx models. Check the front face of your remote for a button labeled CODE SEARCH or SEARCH.

15. Turn on your TV.
16. Press and hold the CODE SEARCH button until the LED indicator turns on. Then release.
17. Press the TV button once. The LED blinks once and stays on.
18. Enter your 4-digit or 5-digit code using the number pad.
19. The LED turns off when the code is accepted.
20. Press Power to test. If the TV turns off — done. If not, repeat with the next code.

💡 TIP: If your remote does not have a CODE SEARCH button (for example, the RCR312WR), skip this method and use Method 1 instead. Both methods produce identical results.

Method 4 — Auto Scan Using CODE SEARCH Button

This is the code-free scan version for remotes with a CODE SEARCH button. Use when no code from the list works.

21. Turn on the device you want to program.
22. Press and hold CODE SEARCH until the LED turns on.
23. Press the TV button once. The LED blinks and stays on.
24. Press the Power button on the remote slowly — once per second — pointing at the TV.
25. When the device turns off, press ENTER immediately to save. Do NOT keep pressing after the device turns off or you’ll lose the code.

💡 TIP: For TCL Roku TVs (the most common type), use 14398 or 44211 with the TV button — not the STREAM button. TCL is now the #2 TV brand in the US and codes 14398 and 44211 are the most reliable.

RCA Universal Remote DVD and Blu-ray Player Codes

Your RCA universal remote can also control DVD players and Blu-ray players — not just TVs. Use the DVD/VCR button on the remote (not the TV button) when programming these devices. The process is identical to TV programming.

Brand	DVD / Blu-ray Codes
Samsung DVD/BD	0490 • 0573 • 0744 • 1075
Sony DVD/BD	0533 • 0864 • 1033 • 1431
LG DVD/BD	0591 • 0741 • 0869 • 1369
Panasonic DVD	0490 • 0503 • 0676 • 1362
Philips DVD	0503 • 0539 • 0646 • 0854
Toshiba DVD	0503 • 0695 • 1070 • 1506
RCA DVD	3161 • 3252 • 3350 • 3421
JVC DVD	3161 • 3252 • 3352 • 3386 • 3421

To program your RCA remote for a DVD or Blu-ray player:

26. Press and hold the DVD/VCR button on your remote until the LED lights up.
27. Enter the code from the list above.
28. If the LED turns off — accepted. If it blinks 4 times — try the next code.
29. Test with the Play, Stop, and Eject buttons.

💡 TIP: If your RCA remote doesn’t have a dedicated DVD/VCR button, press the AUX button first and then select DVD as the device type. Some models label this button SAT-CBL or CBL-SAT.

RCA Universal Remote Codes for Streaming Devices — What Works and What Doesn’t

This is one of the most frequently misunderstood topics in universal remote setup. Universal remotes — including all RCA models — communicate via infrared (IR) signals. For a universal remote to control a streaming device, that device must have an IR receiver built in. Many streaming devices don’t have one.

What DOES work with RCA universal remotes:

• Roku Ultra (box model) — codes 53061 and 52371 via STREAM button
• TCL Roku TV — codes 14398, 12434, 44211 via TV button
• Hisense Roku TV — codes 44211, 55712 via TV button
• Onn Roku TV — codes 44211, 10463 via TV button
• Amazon Fire TV Cube (has limited IR support) — use AUX or STREAM device mode

What does NOT work:

• Roku Streaming Stick (1st–4th generation) — no IR receiver
• Amazon Fire TV Stick (any version) — no IR receiver
• Chromecast (any version) — no IR receiver
• Apple TV 4th generation and later — Bluetooth only, no IR

🚫 IMPORTANT: If you have a Roku STICK and are trying to program your RCA remote to it — it is technically impossible. Roku sticks use Wi-Fi Direct, not infrared signals. No universal remote can control a Roku stick. If you have a Roku ULTRA box or any Roku TV, the RCA remote will work perfectly.

RCA Universal Remote Model Guide — Which Remote Do You Have?

The model number of your RCA remote determines which code format it accepts (3, 4, or 5-digit) and which programming method it uses. Find your model number on the label on the back of the remote or inside the battery compartment.

Model Number	Devices	Code Format	Has CODE SEARCH?	Key Notes
RCR312WR	3-device	3 or 4-digit	No	Uses hold-TV-button method (Method 1)
RCR503BE / RCR503BZ	3-device	4-digit	Yes	Palm-sized design, CODE SEARCH button
RCR414BHZ / RCR414BHE	4-device	5-digit	Yes	4-device control, some backlit versions
RCR6473E / RCR6473N	6-device	5-digit	Yes	Full home theater setup
RCR812N / RCR815N	8-device	5-digit	Yes	Maximum devices — controls up to 8
RCRBB04GBE / RCRBB05BHZ	4-device	5-digit	Yes	Backlit keys — good in dark rooms
RCRN04GBE / RCRN06GBE	4–6 device	5-digit	Yes	Has dedicated STREAM button for streaming devices
RCRPS02GZ / RCRPS06GR	2–6 device	5-digit	Yes	Slim PS-series design

💡 TIP: The most important thing to know about your RCA remote model is whether it has a CODE SEARCH button. If it does, use Method 3. If it doesn’t (like the RCR312WR), use Method 1. Both get identical results — just different button combinations.

How to Find Your RCA Remote Revision Number and Look Up Exact Codes

Here’s something almost no other RCA remote guide covers — and it’s the single most reliable way to find codes for your exact remote. Every RCA remote has a revision number that identifies which code library is installed on it. Different revisions of the same model can have slightly different code databases.

What is a revision number?

The revision number is a code printed on a sticker inside the battery compartment of your remote. It looks like a sequence such as R3F802, 26211, or 25972. The codes that work for your remote depend on both your model number AND your revision number.

How to look up your exact codes:

30. Open the battery compartment on the back of your RCA remote.
31. Remove the batteries. Look for a paper sticker with both the model number and the revision number.
32. Go to rcaaccessories.com/remote-code-finder/ in a browser.
33. Enter your revision number in the search field.
34. Select your device brand and device type (TV, DVD, Cable, etc.) from the dropdown menus.
35. The tool returns a guaranteed list of codes for your specific remote revision.

⚠ NOTE: This is the most reliable way to find codes for your exact remote. The code lists in this article cover the vast majority of cases — but the official RCA revision number tool at rcaaccessories.com is the best backup if our codes don’t work for you.

Troubleshooting — RCA Universal Remote Codes Not Working

PROBLEM 1: LED blinks 4 times and won’t accept the code

✅ Solution: Four blinks means the code was rejected — it simply doesn’t match your TV’s IR protocol. This is completely normal and not a sign anything is broken. Just hold the TV button again until the LED stays solid, then enter the next code from the list. Work through the codes one by one until the LED stays on instead of blinking 4 times. Every TV brand has multiple codes — one of them will work.

PROBLEM 2: Remote programmed successfully but TV doesn’t respond to buttons

✅ Solution: This almost always means you pressed the wrong device button during programming. You must press the TV button — not DVD, AUX, CBL, or SAT-CBL. After programming, your remote must also be in TV mode to control the TV. Press the TV button once (without holding) to switch to TV mode. If the LED doesn’t light up briefly when you press TV, try reprogramming from scratch using Method 1.

PROBLEM 3: I tried every code on the list and none work

✅ Solution: Three things to try: (a) Use Auto Search — Method 2 scans all codes automatically without needing any code. (b) Use the RCA revision number lookup at rcaaccessories.com with your exact model and revision number. (c) Make absolutely sure you are pressing the TV device button and not DVD, AUX, or another mode. Pressing the wrong device button is the #1 cause of this problem.

PROBLEM 4: Volume works but channels don’t (or Power works but nothing else)

✅ Solution: This is a partial code match. The code you entered controls some functions on your TV but not all — common when using a code built for an older version of your TV brand. Try the second code in the list for your brand. For 5-digit remotes, the difference between the first and second code is often the difference between partial and full control. For Samsung, move from 10702 to 12051. For LG, move from 10856 to 11447.

PROBLEM 5: Remote was working yesterday but stopped today

✅ Solution: Check batteries first — this is the cause in about 70% of sudden failures. Even batteries showing partial charge can fail to produce a strong enough IR signal. Replace them with fresh alkaline batteries. Also check for obstructions in front of the TV’s IR sensor. The sensor is a small dark rectangle or dot at the bottom edge of most TVs. A cabinet door, dust buildup, bright sunlight from a window, or a cover sticker can block the signal.

PROBLEM 6: My RCA remote doesn’t have a CODE SEARCH button

✅ Solution: You have a model like the RCR312WR that uses Method 1 (hold-TV-button) instead of Method 3 (CODE SEARCH). This is completely fine — both methods produce identical results. Follow Method 1 exactly: hold the TV button until the LED stays on, enter your code, and test with Power. The RCR312WR is a 3-device remote and does not have a CODE SEARCH button by design.

PROBLEM 7: RCA remote stopped working after changing batteries

✅ Solution: After a battery change, the remote usually retains its programmed code in memory. If it is behaving erratically — sending wrong commands, lighting up randomly, or refusing to program — do a factory reset: remove the batteries, press and hold the Power button on the remote for 10 full seconds (this discharges residual capacitor charge), reinsert fresh alkaline batteries, and reprogram all devices from scratch.

PROBLEM 8: Remote works on TV but won’t program my DVD or Blu-ray player

✅ Solution: Each device on your RCA remote must be programmed independently using its own device button. The TV button programs the TV mode. The DVD/VCR button programs the DVD mode. You must run the full programming sequence separately for each device. See the DVD codes section above for the correct codes and steps. After programming your DVD player, press DVD/VCR once to switch to DVD mode before trying to control the player.

How to Reset an RCA Universal Remote to Factory Default

If your RCA remote is behaving erratically, not accepting codes, or was previously programmed to different devices, a factory reset clears everything and starts fresh. It takes less than a minute.

36. Remove the batteries from your RCA remote.
37. Press and hold the Power button on the remote for 10 full seconds. This discharges residual electrical charge stored in the remote’s capacitors — the root cause of most erratic behavior after battery changes.
38. Reinsert fresh AAA alkaline batteries.
39. Reprogram all your devices using Method 1, 2, 3, or 4 as described above.

💡 TIP: Always use brand-new alkaline batteries after a reset. Rechargeable NiMH batteries operate at 1.2 volts versus 1.5 volts for alkaline. That 0.3-volt difference is enough to cause intermittent IR signal failures — particularly with 5-digit code programming which requires precise signal timing.

PROSCAN Remote Codes — RCA’s Sister Brand

PROSCAN is a sub-brand of RCA (both owned by Voxx International). PROSCAN TVs and universal remotes use identical codes and programming procedures to RCA products.

If you have a PROSCAN TV: use RCA universal remote codes from the list above. The best starting codes for PROSCAN TVs are: 3-digit: 000, 100, 181, 203 | 4-digit: 1447, 3577, 3382 | 5-digit: 11447, 10047, 11347, 12147, 12183, 12256

If you have a PROSCAN remote: program it using the exact same methods described in this guide. Hold the TV button, enter codes from Table 2, and test with Power. The LED behavior and programming steps are identical.

PROSCAN and RCA are the same company. If you see a PROSCAN universal remote for sale, it works identically to any RCA universal remote — same codes, same methods, same compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the most common RCA universal remote code for Samsung TV?

The most commonly used RCA remote code for Samsung TVs is 10702 (5-digit), which works for the majority of Samsung LCD, LED, and QLED TVs made since 2010. If 10702 doesn’t work, try 12051, then 10178, then 11060. For older 4-digit remotes, start with 0702 or 0178. Samsung TVs can sometimes require multiple attempts because Samsung uses a stricter IR protocol than most brands. If all listed codes fail, use the Auto Search method — Method 2.

Q2: How do I program my RCA universal remote without a code?

To program without a code, use the Auto Search method: turn on your TV, then press and hold both the TV button and the Power button together for 3 seconds. The LED turns off and comes back on — this starts auto-search. Press Play once every 5 seconds until the TV turns off. When it does, stop pressing, then press Reverse once every 2 seconds until the TV turns back on. Press Stop to save. This method scans all possible codes automatically and takes 3–10 minutes.

Q3: Why does my RCA remote LED blink 4 times and not program?

Four LED blinks after entering a code means the code was rejected — that particular code doesn’t match your TV’s IR protocol. This is normal behavior and does not indicate anything is wrong with the remote. Simply hold the TV button again until the LED stays solid, then try the next code on the list. Keep working through the codes one by one until the LED stays on (accepted) instead of blinking 4 times (rejected). Every TV brand has multiple codes in the database — one will work.

Q4: What is the RCA universal remote code for TCL Roku TV?

The best RCA universal remote codes for TCL Roku TV are 14398 and 44211 (5-digit). Code 14398 is the most widely compatible and works with TCL Roku TVs made from 2016 to present. Code 44211 is the generic Roku TV code and also works for TCL. Use the TV button — not the STREAM button — when programming. If those fail, try 12434, then 80312, then 80313. TCL is now the second most popular TV brand in the US, so these codes are among the most searched.

Q5: How do I find my RCA remote revision number?

Open the battery compartment on the back of your RCA remote and remove the batteries. Look for a paper sticker inside the battery compartment — it shows both the model number (e.g., RCR414BHZ) and the revision number (a 5-digit code like R3F802, 26211, or 25972). Once you have the revision number, go to rcaaccessories.com/remote-code-finder/ and enter it along with your device brand and type to get a code list guaranteed to work for your specific remote.

Q6: Can I use an RCA universal remote with a Roku stick or Amazon Fire Stick?

No — it is technically impossible to control a Roku Streaming Stick or any Amazon Fire TV Stick with an RCA universal remote. Both devices communicate via Wi-Fi Direct and do not have infrared (IR) receivers. Universal remotes only work via IR signals. If you have a Roku ULTRA box (not a stick) or a Roku TV (from TCL, Hisense, Onn, etc.), those DO have IR receivers and work fine with RCA remotes using codes 53061, 52371, or 44211.

Q7: What is the RCA universal remote code for LG TV?

The most reliable RCA remote codes for LG TVs are 10856 (5-digit) for modern LG Smart TVs, and 11447 or 10178 for older models. For 4-digit remotes, start with 0856, then try 0178 or 1447. LG WebOS Smart TVs from 2018 and later respond best to 10856 or 14397. Older LG LCD TVs respond to 11447 or 10017. LG OLED and NanoCell TVs (2020+) may need 14398. If the first code fails, work through the full list from Table 2 above.

Q8: How do I reset an RCA universal remote control?

To factory reset an RCA universal remote: (1) remove the batteries; (2) press and hold the Power button on the remote for 10 seconds — this drains residual electrical charge from the remote’s capacitors; (3) reinsert fresh alkaline batteries; (4) reprogram all your devices using the programming methods in this guide. The reset erases all stored device codes. Use fresh alkaline batteries after resetting — rechargeable batteries have lower voltage and can cause intermittent issues with RCA remote programming.

Q9: What is the RCA universal remote code for Vizio TV?

The most reliable RCA remote codes for Vizio TVs are 11758 and 10178 (5-digit), which work for virtually all Vizio TV models including D-series, E-series, V-series, M-series, and P-series from 2012 to present. For 4-digit remotes, use 1758 or 0178. Vizio is the most popular TV brand in the US, and code 11758 has the highest success rate of any single code in the Vizio database. If 11758 fails, try 10864, then 12707, then 13758.

Q10: Does an RCA universal remote work with a soundbar?

Yes — most RCA universal remotes can control soundbars, but you need to program the soundbar as a separate device. Use the AUX button (or the second device button) on your remote to program the soundbar. You’ll need the soundbar brand’s code — for example, Samsung soundbar codes include 0490, 0573; LG soundbar codes include 0591, 0741; Vizio soundbar codes include 1517, 0660. The programming steps are identical to TV programming, just use AUX instead of TV. If your remote has an AUDIO device button, use that.

Q11: Why does my RCA remote only control volume but not channels?

This is a partial code match — the code you entered controls some functions (volume, power) but not all (channels, inputs). It happens when using a code built for an older version of your TV’s IR library. The fix is simple: reprogram using the next code down in your TV brand’s list. For Samsung, if 10702 gives partial control, try 12051. For LG, if 10856 gives partial control, try 11447. For Vizio, if 11758 gives partial control, try 10864 or 13758.

Q12: What is the difference between 3-digit, 4-digit, and 5-digit RCA remote codes?

The number of digits refers to the version of the code library installed on your specific RCA remote model. Older RCA remotes from the 1990s used 3-digit codes (000–299) and had smaller code databases covering mainly legacy TV brands. Mid-era remotes from 2005–2015 used 4-digit codes with a larger database. Modern RCA remotes from 2015 onward use 5-digit codes with the largest database — 5,000+ supported devices. Your remote only accepts one format, and using the wrong digit count will always fail. Check your model number to confirm which format yours uses.

Final Tips — Getting the Best Results from Your RCA Universal Remote

You now have everything you need to program any RCA universal remote to any TV, DVD player, or compatible streaming device. Before you go, a few last reminders:

• Always start with 5-digit codes if your remote model number has three or more digits after RCR.
• For Samsung: start with 10702. For LG: 10856. For Vizio: 11758. For Sony: 10810. For TCL: 14398.
• If every listed code fails, use Method 2 (Auto Search) — it will find a working code every time for IR-compatible TVs.
• Replace batteries before programming — weak batteries are the most common cause of programming failure.
• Use alkaline batteries, not rechargeable — the voltage difference matters for IR signal precision.
• Bookmark this page — whenever you need to reprogram after a reset or battery replacement, all codes and steps are here.
