How do i set up my dynex rc-401-0a remote to operate my sanyo dvd player

Too Old

Well you can maybe try and set it up on your setting screen it might take a while but it's worth a try

Programming procedure is too much to type in here, and is not practical. If you wish to get more codes and other details,

U can't ..the remote is tv only remote. Doesn't work with other devices

First, there is no such thing as a 'universal' remote, even the 'learning' remotes will not learn from every original remote. Second, for anyone to help you, you need to post both model numbers, the player's and the remotes.
Generally, if a remote is only even a little older than the player, it may not contain the code set for the player.

RC means REGION CODE - Depending on the numbering, it means that your DVD will only play in countries designated by the code.

Example

RC 1 means Region Code 1...... This disc will play in dvd players in Canada, United States, U.S Territories , Bermuda.

RC 2 = Western Europe, incl. United Kingdom, and Central Europe; Western Asia; including Iran, Israel and Turkey, Egypt; Japan, South Africa, Swaziland, Lesotho; French overseas territories

RC 3 = Southeast Asia; South Korea; Taiwan; Hong Kong; Macau

RC 4 = Mexico, Central and South America; Caribbean; Australia; New Zealand; Oceania;

RC 5 = Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, Continent of Africa, excluding Egypt, South Africa, Swaziland, and Lesotho; Central and South Asia, Mongolia, North Korea.

RC 6 = People's Republic of China, Hong Kong

RC 7 = Reserved for future use (found in use on protected screener copies of MPAA-related DVDs and "media copies" of pre-releases in Asia)

RC 8 = International venues such as aircraft, cruise ships, etc.[1]
RC ALL means all 8 flags are set and can play on ANY player
0 or no region means no flag is set can be played anywhere or flags 1-6.

I hope this helps.

This is because the remote and the player are not set to the same code, the player is currently set to RC-3. You will need to set the remote to RC-3 by:

1. Press 3 on the remote, then while pressing 3, press Power and hold them both for 5 seconds.
2. Release the buttons, then press power to test the remote.
