Review on πŸ“± RCA RCR313BE Big Button Three-Device Universal Remote: Simplifying Control in Sleek Black Design by Steve Hauck

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy programming instructions here

Great remote control. Only the Guide-Home and OK buttons/arrows are lit. On some very similar models, only the OK button/arrows are lit. The biggest PITA with these remotes is remembering how to program them when the day you need them comes and the instructions are long lost. As a service to humanity, here are some instructions in a font that you can read, copy, paste, and scale to any level you want. Remote controls RCA - DVD or VCR1. Turn on the programmer.2. Press and hold DVD-VCR + 3 (for DVD, DVD-VCR +2 for VCR) (blinks twice) - Sets programming mode to DVD (3) or VCR. (2) You don't need to do this step for TVs or satellite boxes.3. Press and hold DVD-VCR + POWER until the power button lights up and turns off. 4. Enter a Speed Dial Code: (Different for TV, DVD VCR, SAT/Cable Channels) - optional 0-Phillips/Mag 1-Panasonic 2-Samsung 3-Sony 4-Toshiba (skip this step for all brands and display models longer) 5. Press the POWER button, wait 3-5 seconds for the device to respond.6. Press STOP when the device turns off.7. Repeat steps 5 and 6. Press the POWER button until the device turns off.
