Question

My TV will turn off, but the volume and channel button won't work. What does this mean?

Community Answer

You may have chosen a code that gives partial control of the remote over your TV. Many universal remotes have codes that do this for different TV makes and models. You'll have to try other codes until you land on one that gives you full control.

Question

My TV cannot be turned on manually. How do I program the remote control?

Community Answer

Order an OME (factory or original manufacture equipment) remote from the TV manufacturer and it should work fine. Use the model numbers on the back of your TV to determine which remote you should order.

Question

How do I reset an RCA universal remote to factory settings?

Community Answer

The default factory settings should be blank or empty so that you always have to program it first. Try using the CLEAR button if you have one. You may also have to press each device key before pressing the CLEAR key.

Question

How do I program an RCA universal remote without a code search button to work with Netflix on my TV?

Community Answer

The remote operates the physical TV itself. You cannot use these RCA remotes to change channels within an application the TV provides. That would be a feature of the manufacturer's or a more complex remote. But you can always check with the manufacturer and ask if a third party remote can be used to control the apps.
