Perfect! Full use of DVD player now
Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2025
Style: RCR503BEPattern: RemoteVerified Purchase

This works perfectly. I easily programmed it using the first listed codes for DVD Player and TV. I wanted a compact design, not something huge and ugly. This is perfect. Compact, simple and cute.

We needed this mainly so we could access the menu for our circa 2003 Zenith DVD player . With no remote (lost long ago) we could only push play, ff and rewind. With multi-episode discs especially a problem. Now we can do it all! Our family enjoys watching DVDs and VHS tapes. It just feels different than streaming: doesn’t hook into endless options which is good for our brains, and we enjoy borrowing DVDs from the library. I am going to try to program with our VCR as well, which is not necessary but will be a bonus if it works, and I’ll update review if it does.

Good Remote Glad for the Shift Key!
Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2024
Style: RCR503BEPattern: RemoteVerified Purchase
The remote works well to power on/off and control my Samsung TVs. I use Apple TV 4Ks on each TV, and on the slightly newer TV, all functions on the Apple TV work, so it turns my Samsung TV off and on just fine. I recently bought an Apple TV 4K for my slightly older Samsung TV, and the Apple TV remote turns off the TV reliably, but it will only turn the TV on if the TV has been on recently. If the TVs been off for an hour or so, the Apple TV remote won't turn the TV on. There are no new firmware updates for the TV. Enter this remote! When the Apple TV remote fails to turn on my TV (most of the time), I can power on the TV with this little remote instead of having to dig out the giant awful Samsung remote. I recently added an antenna to this older TV, and this remote lets me change source easily.

As far as people complaining about the SLEEP button now being SHIFT, I'm glad for the shift button. It allows the channel and volume buttons to be used as arrow keys. This comes in very handy when I have to venture into the TV's menu. Good, inexpensive old school remote that just works, especially when new tech fails. Just buy it!

Pathetic Technical Support -- Don't Buy ANY RCA Remote Control Product
Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2018
Style: RCR503BEPattern: RemoteVerified Purchase
I attempted to use this controller with a Sansui TV. The programming code that I used was one of several listed on the document, enclosed with the remote. Once it was programmed, I was able to turn the TV on and off. Volume worked great. The number key pad also worked. I was able to use all of the functions, except for the MENU button. Pushing the button did nothing with the TV. What did happen was after pushing the MENU button, the controller would blink 23 times, and then rapidly blink 3 more times. I suspected that this was an error code and so I tried to contact RCA, using the webpage that is referenced on the package. On the webpage, there is a link to send an e-mail.

So I generated the e-mail and sent it off, asking for help to determine if the remote is physically broke or if there is a programming error on their part.

Three times, I received back an e-mail that basically stated that I needed to consult the remote programming instructions on the website. The same information that was already in the package that came with the remote. So the first time, I did take a closer look at the website and confirmed that there was not something else that they might be referring to. There was nothing else. Clearly, they didn't even bother to read my e-mail. I could tell because each reply that I received back from them was the exact same words.

After this non-sense, I contacted Amazon and they said that they would send me a second controller to see if the problem might be specific to the one controller. I received the second controller and put in new batteries. It didn't work. I took a closer look at it and the contact springs for the battery compartment needed to be extended. I took a knife blade and extended the springs. Putting the batteries back in, the controller started working. Clearly, poor quality control.

I programmed the second controller and received the same resulting blinking LED error code. It appears that there is a manufacturing programming error, and that this error exists within all of the controllers.

It is a shame that this problem could not have been resolved at the vendor/manufacturer level. Instead, both Amazon and I have had to waste time TESTING the manufacturer's controllers.

I have never had such a disappointing result with any product. I strongly urge anyone reading this review to go with some other vendor's product. Clearly, RCA's response to my support requests, is indicative of a company that really doesn't care about supporting the products that they sell.

I would recommend that Amazon drop this vendor.

I ordered this for simplicity, especially at night. The one I received is not as pictured. It has no sleep button. Instead it uses a multistage process of shifting key, access menu, find settings, scroll down and enter numbers manually. .then reverse all the steps. Not user friendly! It does function. It did pair easily with my tv. But that function was important to me. It also uses AAA batteries rather than the AA in the product specs.
