RCA RCR504 Universal Remote Control with 4 Functions

I bought a discounted, 55 inch Sanyo tv that was returned to the store because the remote was missing. I took a chance and ordered this RCA remote, which was the cheapest one sold. I really had my doubts that it would program to this tv. This remote is only sold online at my Walmart, so had to order, and pick up at the store about 5 days later. The codes given in the instruction didn't work, but when I tried the second method, which tries all codes, it recognized about the 25th code. Works like a charm and saved me 40 bucks not having to by an original Sanyo remote. I am going to order another one for my Samsung tv now.

At last, a universal remote that works with digital converter boxes. Even better than the lost original Magnavox converter box remote, as this one allows direct channel entry via the number keypad, of which the original did not have numbered buttons, but only channel up(+) and down(-). Used direct code entry, and there was only a single code for Magnavox converter boxes, so no need to do any code search, or try random direct entry codes to get the right one, since there was only one code, at least for Magnavox converter boxes. Operates up to 4 devices, including VCR, TV, Digital Converter Box/Satellite/Cable box, and DVD/Auxilliary, though programming the DVD/Aux component button, was a bit confusing, and different than programming the other component buttons, which were a snap. Even Radio Shack claimed they did not sell a universal remote for Converter boxes. Very small and lightweight, and takes the smaller "AAA"-size batteries. Also has Mute, Last Channel, and Source buttons. Only $6.00 and shipping is free, if you have it shipped to a Walmart store, from their online website store, to later do the store pickup. TV volume button works while controlling the converter box, like an automatic macro, so you don't have to shuttle between the DTC (Digital Tv Converter) component button, and the TV component button, every time you want to adjust the TV volume, while you already flipping thru channels in the DTC button mode. Automatic TV volume macro comes pre-programmed, so there's no need to setup or follow complicated macro instructions. Highly recommend.

Worked great. Accepted thee first code for the model tv and immediately was programmed. Would recommend for all tv brands.

I like this remote because it has a sleep button on it. I bought another remote without that feature and I missed it. Great value too. Measures 5 1/2 in. long x 2 in. wide. Nice size. Uses 2 AAA batteries.

This device does have a learning curve. I found out by pressing the number buttons is how I move between menu options on the screen. No where was this in the instructions, so yeah it works, you just may have to play with it.

only negative was needing to enter the specific to unit "code" for a second time a week or so after use when one morning, out of the blue, it stopped working and after "reentering" the same code (one of 7 available for an RCA VHS unit, it was functioning again. Perhaps just a glitch?

It worked for my DVD/VCR combo. It didn't work for my stereo receiver, if it did I would have ordered a couple more for other rooms. My old cable tv remote worked for a lot of things, including receivers. But my new cable voice remote doesn't work on any other component. Now I have 3 remotes and I still have to walk across the room for the receiver. At least I can record music on my VCR and play it back with this new remote.

Do not buy if you want the sleep button. In its place it has a 'shift' button. Not sure why they still show a picture of the version with the sleep button. Had to return.

I would not recommend this remote control because first off it doesn't even show you what channel you're on or what's on there's no description of the channel I can't believe it no clock nothing

I can't greet it programmed for the satellite box, only the TV so I'm still having to use the Dish remote that won't turn the TV on/off.
