Code Retrieval on the RCA RCR312W 3 Component Remote Control

Code Retrieval on the RCA RCR312W 3 Component 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. Example used is for TV component set up.

1. Press and hold the component key (TV, VCR•DVD, SAT•CBL) whose code you wish to retrieve. The illuminated ON•OFF key turns on.
2. While holding the component key down, press and hold the INFO key. The illuminated ON•OFF key turns off.
3. After holding down both keys for three seconds, the illuminated ON•OFF key turns back on.
4. Release both keys. The illuminated ON•OFF key remains on.
5. 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 illuminated ON•OFF key to blink is the first number of the code. As you find each number of the code, refer to the code boxes below and write them down for future reference.
   Note: All TV codes begin with the number 1; all VCR codes begin with the number 2; all DVDs, the number 3; and all satellite receivers and cable boxes, the number 5.
6. Repeat step 5 until you have retrieved all four numbers in the code.
7. After the fourth number is retrieved, the illuminated ON•OFF key blinks briefly, then turns off.
8. To exit the Code Retrieval Mode, press and release the GO BACK key at any time.
9. 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, VCR•DVD, SAT•CBL, INFO, GO BACK), Code Retrieval times out after 15 seconds. The illuminated ON•OFF key blinks four times, and then turns off.
