Code Search/Retrieval Methods for the RCA RCU404R Remote Control

Code Search/Retrieval Methods for the RCA RCU404R
If your component’s brand isn't listed in the Code List or you have tried all of the codes for your brand and the remote does not operate your component, use one of the Code Search methods below—Manual Code Search or Auto Code Search. Both Code Search methods search all of the codes because your component’s code may be listed under another brand in the code list. Note: The Code Search method may take a long time because the remote searches all of the codes in its memory for the code which operates your component. Therefore, if your brand is listed in the Code List, use the Direct Entry method described on pages 5-8.
	Manual Code Search Manually turn on the component you want the remote to operate. Press and hold the CODE SEARCH key until the indicator light illuminates. Then release the CODE SEARCH key. Press and release the component key that corresponds to the component you want the remote to operate (TV, VCR or DBS•CABLE). The indicator light blinks once and then remains lit. Note: For DVD or AUX, Press DVD•AUX, then the component key corresponding to the component to be stored under the AUX key. For DVD, press DVD•AUX, then the VCR key. For an auxiliary component, press DVD•AUX, then the corresponding component key (TV, VCR, DBS•CABLE). Aim the remote at the component and press the ON•OFF key continuously until the component turns off. Important: Because there are so many codes, you may have to press the ON•OFF key many times—possibly up to 200 times. When the component turns off, press the ENTER key to store the code. Use "Code Retrieval" to identify the code for your component for future reference.
	Auto Code Search Manually turn on the component you want the remote to operate. Press and hold the CODE SEARCH key until the indicator light illuminates. Then release the CODE SEARCH key. Press and release the component key that corresponds to the component you want the remote to operate (TV, VCR, or DBS•CABLE). The indicator light blinks once and then remains lit. Note: For DVD or AUX, Press DVD•AUX, then the component key corresponding to the component to be stored under the AUX key. For DVD, press DVD•AUX, then the VCR key. For an auxiliary component, press DVD•AUX, then the corresponding component key (TV, VCR, DBS•CABLE). Aim the remote at the component and press the ON•OFF key once. The remote automatically sends every code for the specified component one at a time, with a 3 second delay between each code. Keep the remote aimed at the component throughout the process. As soon as the component turns off, you must press the ENTER key immediately so the remote stores the correct code. If you don't press ENTER within 3 seconds, the remote will send the next code in the list, and you will have to start over from step 2. Use Code Retrieval to identify the code for your component for future reference.
	Code Retrieval  If you used one of the Code Search methods to program your remote, follow the steps below to find out which code is compatible with your component. Finding 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). Press and hold the CODE SEARCH key until the indicator light illuminates. Then release the CODE SEARCH key. Press and release the component key that matches the component’s code you are retrieving (TV, VCR, or DBS•CABLE). The indicator light blinks once and then remains lit. Note: For DVD or AUX, Press DVD•AUX, then the component key corresponding to the component stored under the AUX key. For DVD, press DVD•AUX, then the VCR key. For an auxiliary component, press DVD•AUX, then the corresponding component key (TV, VCR, DBS•CABLE). Press and release the CODE SEARCH key. The indicator light turns off. Starting with 0 on the keypad, press the number keys in order (0-9) until the indicator light blinks. The number that causes the indicator light to blink is the first digit of your code. Repeat step 4 until you have retrieved all three numbers of the code. Refer to the code box to write down the code for your component within the Direct Entry Section (pages 5-8) for the component just programmed.
