Code Retrieval on the RCA RCR612N Universal Remote Control

Code Retrieval on the RCA RCR612N Universal Remote Control

Once you've programmed the remote to control your components, you may want to record the codes for future reference. If you used the Direct Code Entry method, this is easy. Just find the codes you programmed in and make a note of them. If you used one of the Code Search methods to program your remote or if you used the Direct Entry method but don't remember the code, you will need to retrieve each component’s four-digit code. Retrieving the actual code and writing it down will save you time if you ever need to program the remote again (e.g., if programming is lost when you change the batteries). If the codes are recorded, you can use the Direct Entry method to reprogram your remote to control your components, which is quick and easy.

TIPS: All TV codes start with the number 1; all VCR and DVR codes start with the number 2; all DVD player codes, the number 3; all audio device codes, the number 4; and all satellite receiver, cable box, and digital TV converters, the number 5. To exit the Code Retrieval Mode at any time, press the CLEAR key. If you press an invalid key during the Code Retrieval process, the remote will not respond. If you do not press a valid Code Retrieval key (TV, SAT•CBL•DTC, DVD, DVR•AUX, AUDIO, VCR, INFO, CLEAR), Code Retrieval times out after 15 seconds. The ON•OFF key blinks four times, and then turns off.

1. Press and hold the device key (TV, SAT•CBL•DTC, DVD, AUDIO, VCR, DVR•AUX) whose code you wish to retrieve. The ON•OFF key illuminates. Keep pressing the device key.

2. While holding the device key down, press and hold the INFO key. The ON•OFF key illumination turns off. After holding down both keys for three seconds, it turns back on.

3. Release both keys. The ON•OFF key remains illuminated.

4. Starting with the number 1 key, press and release each number key on the keypad in the following order: 1-9, then 0. The number that causes the ON•OFF key to blink is the first number of the code. As you find each number of the code, write it down for future reference. Then start with the number 1 key again.

5. Repeat step 4 until you have retrieved all five numbers in the code. After the fifth number is retrieved, the ON•OFF key blinks briefly, then turns off.
