1. Device: RCA DECK215R
2. Type of device: TV/DVD Combo
3. Year: unknown
4. JP1/UEI Remote model: many (trying OARUSB40G)
5. Do you have a JP1 cable? yes, many
6. Still have original remote? yes, but it doesn't work (verified with IR Widget)
7. Checked the file section? yes
8. Checked Pronto file section (at R/C)? no
9. Partially working setup code? no
10. Learning remote question? no
11. Have you tried the JP1 Lookup Tool? yes
12. If you have a OARUSB04G, URC-6440 (or similar) remote, have you tried simpleset.com? I didn't think simplset.com was still working?

I inherited this thing with a house that I bought, it's mounted to the wall in one of the rooms. would like to see it work. I can power on via the buttons on the TV and play DVDs so I know the device works.

I have an RCA remote that supposedly worked with the TV but it does not work. I tried my IR widget and gets nothing in IR coming from the remote.

There is no model number on the remote

There are 2 RCA TV combo units in the file section.

One is for an RCA TV/DVD combo 20F510TD, which has 2 upgrades, one for the TV side and another for the DVD side. The other is for an RCA 27F500TDV TV-DVD-VCR.

I tried those, they didn't work

(actually I didn't get to the DVD-side part since the TV side didn't work at all)

Try these I just got from Global Cache. I haven't compared to Rob's files.

Simpleset site still works. Maybe you're thinking of the Xsight site which is long gone.

Just tried simplset, doesn't like the remote. says the file is wrong. (even after a full reset)

DVD 20695 and 20821 show up in red (code not in remote) when using RMIR

No go on the one you found either dave


FWIW the URL on the remote says that it is a URC6540 and the simpleset site is looking for a URC6440 (at least from the instructions) so maybe that's my issue with simplset?

Looks like a Chinese Walmart RCA/Magnavox, RC5 device 0. Try this: https://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... e_id=25654

that one did the trick! I haven't tested all of the functions yet but I can turn it on and make the volume go up and down so that's a start

Thanks!

Sorry to dig up an old thread but any clue where this might be in a FireTV remote? All of the RCA selections didn't work.

I'm assuming a FireTV remote isn't a UEI remote, right? So we can't feed you UEI setup codes, so are you looking for other band names? A quick look at jp1-master to see which bands give RC-5 dev 0 gives this:

Advent
Cary
Envision
Goodmans
Hauppauge
Hyundai
Insignia
LG
Loewe
Magnavox
NAD
NEC
Norcent
Palsonic
Philips
Pioneer
Prima
Reoc
SysMaster
Telefunken
Viewsonic
