How to Program an Rca Rc800L C (1239) Universal Remote Control

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Take inventory.

   The user manual that accompanied the remote listed the following number for the remote on the cover: "CRCU805MSL".
   
   It's not clear if this is the model number for the remote control unit because the numbering scheme does not match those of other RCA remote control units.
   
   There is also a number for the remote printed on a white sticker located inside the battery compartment.
   
   You should see the sticker once you remove the battery cover.
   
   There are 2 lines to this number, the first appears to relate to the model itself (e.g.:
   RC800L-C), and the second is the "Date Code" for the particular product (e.g.: 1239).
