Programming an RCA Universal Remote to Sony DVD Players

To make the programming of your remote work, codes are made to create the connection with your player. Specifically, these unique numbers when correctly encoded will establish stable and secure command between your DVD player and remote. All you need to know is how to properly integrate them, which we will show in this programming tutorial:   

1. First of all, jot down or screenshot all the codes you need for easy access later on in the process. Our technical team provided all the necessary and compatible codes for your RCA remote and Sony DVD below this tutorial. Choose from the three to five digit codes to save time. 

2. The next important thing to check are your devices. See to it that your DVD player and remote are working and functioning properly. First, plug in your DVD player you wish to program. Next, check if your remote control has working batteries. This will ensure that the procedure will be interruption-free throughout.  

3. Now, it’s time to direct your remote control to the DVD player. This will enable both devices to be receptive to any signals and commands. 

4. The next step is to turn the player into “Learning Mode.” Press and hold the SETUP button until a light blinks or flashes. 

5. If you have done this step correctly, a tiny light will blink four times.

6. With the number pads on your remote, enter the codes you prepared earlier. After entering the code, observe if the light turns off. If it automatically did, it means that the encoding was a success. If not, you’ll need to enter a different code from the list.

7. Now, aim your remote to the DVD player and press and hold the power button. 

8. Release the power button once the device turns off. 

9. Your device shutting down signifies that the programming indeed worked. To really see if it worked, turn the DVD player on and click different remote buttons such as volume or settings.  

10. If the DVD player follows such commands, it means that the remote is fully integrated to the player. If some of the commands did not work, you’ll have to start from scratch. Repeat from step one and use another code when prompted. 

As exemplified, the process can take a bit longer than expected because of the trial and error of codes. Our audiovisual team members suggest following the steps slowly and carefully so you won’t run into errors.
