The 4 or 5-digit RCA universal remote code can be identified from the remote user manual. In this manual, it is clearly said which digit codes you should prefer while programming the universal remote.

Check the RCA Remote Batteries: The RCA universal remote can be paired with devices like DVD, TV, VCR, Home Theatres, STB boxes, etc. The RCA remote not responding to these appliances is the most common problem. When you encounter such issues, the first thing you have to do is check the RCA remote batteries. Battery drainage problem is one of the most common problems. When none of the RCA remote buttons works, you must check the batteries first. The probability percentage of battery drainage is more in RCA remotes that carry a backlit featured button. The RCA universal remote requires more charge when backlit featured.

Set the RCA Universal Remote to the Correct Mode:

Sometimes, you may have put the RCA remote into incorrect mode due to which the RCA universal remote does not respond to the device. If your RCA universal remote is in DVD mode and you are trying to work it with the television, the TV will not respond with the RCA remote. You should put the universal remote to the correct mode. If you are utilizing the RCA remote to operate any device, then click on the appropriate buttons such as AUX, TV, DVD, and VCR, to set the RCA universal remote to device mode. If you are trying to pair the remote with the TV, then you need to put it in TV mode.

Remove the Obstacles between the RCA Universal Remote and the Device:

Most RCA universal remotes are IR-based remote controls. IR means infrared connectivity. IR-based universal remote controls require a direct line of sight between the device and the universal remote control. If any interruptions break the path between the RCA remote and the device, it will break the communication commands between the device and the RCA universal remote. You should also take care if there is any thick layer on the front side of the RCA remote control IR LED light.
