RCA has been a household name in electronics for decades, and their universal remotes are known for their reliability and ease of use. If you have an RCA remote, programming it to control your Vizio TV is a simple process that can help you consolidate your controllers. This guide will provide the verified codes you need and walk you through the setup.
Which Code Do You Need? 4-Digit vs. 5-Digit
Before you begin, it’s helpful to know that RCA remotes come in various models. Newer versions often require 5-digit codes, while many widely-used models operate with 4-digit codes. We have compiled both lists to ensure you find the right one. If you’re unsure which type you need, we recommend starting with the 4-digit codes, as they are historically the most common for Vizio pairings.
Verified RCA Remote Codes for Vizio TVs
To make your search easier, find your code type in the table below. If the first code in a list doesn’t work, just proceed to the next one.
RCA Code Type | Vizio TV Codes (Try in Order) |
4-Digit Codes | Start with: 1758, 1756, 2707, 0864, 0885 |
5-Digit Codes | Start with: 11758, 13758, 12707, 12512, 11756 |
How to Enter the Code Into Your RCA Remote
RCA’s direct code entry method is quick and efficient.
- Turn on your Vizio TV.
- Press and hold the TV button on your RCA remote until the power button illuminates.
- Release the TV button. The power button should remain lit.
- Enter the first 4 or 5-digit code from the list above.
- After entering the last digit, the illuminated power button will turn off.
- Aim the remote at your TV and test the POWER button.
If the TV turns off, the programming was successful! If it doesn’t, simply repeat the process with the next code on the list. Sometimes a remote can get “stuck” or become unresponsive, but this can often be fixed with the simple steps found in our guide on [how to reset any Vizio TV remote](link to Post 4).
What to Do If None of the Codes Work
If you have exhausted the lists above without success, do not worry. Your RCA remote has a built-in “Code Search” feature that will automatically scan through its entire library to find a working code. This method is highly effective and eliminates the need for any manual entry. The steps for a code search are simple and are covered in our [main guide for programming any universal remote for a Vizio TV](link to Post 1). This process is also very similar for other popular brands like [GE universal remotes](link to Post 25).
Conclusion
Pairing your RCA remote with your Vizio TV is a straightforward task that simplifies your viewing experience. By first identifying whether you need a 4 or 5-digit code and then systematically entering them, you can achieve a successful connection in just a few minutes. If direct entry fails, the built-in Code Search feature is a powerful backup that guarantees a successful pairing.
