Program an RCA RCR312W Remote

You have an RCA rcr312w remote. You have followed the instructions and it still isn't working. Finally, you go to the RCA website and find out that you need to keep pressing the reverse button until the TV turns on then press stop. The directions on various sites said to press the reverse button, but did not specify how many times. You need to press it every 2 seconds.

Steps

  1. These instructions come from the RCA website. The crucial step is to keep pressing the reverse button.
  2. Turn on the component (the tv, dvd, etc).
  3. Press the TV (or DVD) button first and then the on/off button and hold both until the on/off button remains lit.
  4. Press the PLAY button every five seconds until the component turns off.
    • Each time the Play button is pressed, the illuminated ON-OFF button blinks ten times and a block of 10 codes is sent to your component. This process continues until all the codes in the Code Lists have been searched. If the component has not turned off after all codes have been searched, the illuminated ON-OFF button blinks four times, turns off, and the Auto Code Search Entry method is exited.
  5. After the component turns off press the REVERSE button every 2 seconds until the device turns back on. Skip to step 7.
    • If your television is an older model it may want to turn on immediately before you get the chance to press reverse. If that is the case and the TV automatically turns itself on then simply follow the step and keep pressing reverse until the component turns OFF. Then skip to step 7.
  6. If the component does not respond, continue to press the REVERSE button EVERY TWO SECONDS UNTIL THE COMPONENT TURNS ON again. This will isolate the correct code in the last block of codes sent. Each time the REVERSE button is pressed, the illuminated ON-OFF button blinks.
    • If the REVERSE button is accidentally pressed after the component responds, press and release the FORWARD button. Wait two seconds to see if the component turns off again.
  7. To save the new code, press and release the STOP button.
  8. The illuminated ON-OFF button turns off. You must press the STOP button to save the code.
  9. If component does not respond or has limited functionality, codes in a different block list can be tried until you find the code that allows the remote to control the majority of your component’s functions. To continue past a block list of codes that provided minimal or no control, turn component back on after being turned off from pushing play and continue with step 4.
  10. To Enter Code
  11. Manually turn on the component you want the remote to control (TV, VCR, DVD, satellite receiver or cable box).
  12. 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.
  13. While holding down the component key, enter the four-digit code
  14. While you are pressing the numbers, the illuminated ON•OFF key turns off.
  15. 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 2 and try the next code listed.
