REPAIRING AND NOT THROWING AWAY

In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!
Today, the West is headed for the abyss. For the ultimate fate of our disposable society is for that society itself to be disposed of. And this will happen sooner, rather than later.

RCA RCR 312W _ UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL SETUP PROCESS

RCA RCR 312W _ UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL SETUP PROCESS



DIRECT CODE ENTRY METHOD



  • Manually turn on the component you want the remote to control.
  • Locate the enclosed Code Lists. Find the list for the component you wish to program. Find your component’s brand. You will see a listing of codes for each brand. If your brand isn’t listed, use one of the Code Search methods to program the remote control. Do an Auto Code Search .
  • Press and hold the component key (TV, VCR•DVD, SAT•CBL) you wish to program. The illuminated ON•OFF key turns on and remains on. If you release the component key at any time during the Direct Code Entry procedure, the illuminated ON•OFF key blinks four times, and the process is exited.
  • While holding down the component key, consult the Code Lists for the four-digit code that corresponds to your component’s brand and use the number keys (0-9) on the keypad to enter it. While you are pressing the numbers, the illuminated ON•OFF key turns off..
  • After the fourth number is entered, the illuminated ON•OFF key turns on. At this time, release the component key. If the illuminated ON•OFF key turns off, you have entered a valid code and have followed the correct procedure for Direct Code Entry.
  • If you enter a code number that is not in the Code Lists or you do not follow all of the steps for Direct Code Entry, the illuminated ON•OFF key blinks four times when the component key is released. This is an indication that a programming error has occurred.
  • Throughout the programming of each key, be sure to keep the remote pointed at the IR sensor of the component you are currently programming the remote to control.
  • To confirm that the component key is programmed with the correct code for maximum functionality, test the component. Attempt to control a variety of the component’s functions with the remote. If some of the features of your components do not work, try programming the remote with a different code in the list until you find the code that allows the remote to control the majority of your component’s functions. Different codes can provide different levels of functionality

MANUAL CODE SEARCH METHOD



If your component’s brand isn’t listed in the Code Lists, or if you have tried all of the codes for your brand and the remote does not operate your component, try one of the Code Search methods below—Manual Code Search or Auto Code Search.  Both Code Search methods cycle through all of the codes in the Code Lists in the event that your component’s code is listed under another brand.

The Manual and Auto Code Search methods may take a long time because the remote searches through all of the codes in its memory for the code that operates your component. Therefore, if your brand is listed in the Brand Codes or the Code Lists, first try the Brand Code Search or the Direct Code Entry methods.

Manually turn on the component you want the remote to control.

If you press an invalid key during the Manual Code Search, the remote does not respond and the search times out after two minutes. When the search times out, the illuminated ON•OFF key blinks four times and turns off. The last programmed code under that component key is retained..


  • To program the remote to control a VCR or DVD. The VCR•DVD key can control only one component, either your VCR or your DVD. To program your remote to control either your DVD or your VCR, you must first put  the remote in the proper programming mode. Follow these directions before proceeding to step 4.
  • Press and hold the VCR•DVD key. The illuminated ON•OFF key turns on.
  • While holding down the VCR•DVD key, press and release the number 2 key on the keypad to control a VCR or the number 3 key to control a DVD. The illuminated ON•OFF key turns off.
  • Release the VCR•DVD key. The illuminated ON•OFF key blinks four times and then turns off. Your remote is now either in VCR or DVD Programming Mode, depending on which you chose. Proceed to next step.



  • Press and hold the component key (TV, VCR•DVD, SAT•CBL) you wish to program. The illuminated ON•OFF key turns on and remains on.
  • While holding the component key down, press and hold the ON•OFF key. The illuminated ON•OFF key turns off.
  • After holding down both keys for three seconds, the illuminated ON•OFF key turns back on.
  • Release both keys. The illuminated ON•OFF key remains on.
  • Press and release the ON•OFF key repeatedly, waiting 4 seconds between each key press, until your component turns off. Each time you press the ON•OFF key, the illuminated ON•OFF key blinks, and the next code is sent. This process continues until all of the codes in the Code Lists have been searched. If your component turns off, you have found the correct code. (If it cycles through and the illuminated ON•OFF key blinks four times and turns off, all codes have been searched. The Manual Code Search method is exited.)
  • Once your component turns off, you have found the correct code. You must save the new code by pressing and releasing the STOP key. The illuminated ON•OFF key turns off. You must press the STOP key to save the code or the correct code will not be stored.
