For the RCA RCR412S you might find that it doesn function like the manual says it should be functioning. In my case the Direct Entry method didn't work with my Sharp TV or my Panasonic VCR. I then had to figure out how the Automatic Search method worked because the manual was incorrect. Here is how to program the RCR412S using the Automatic Search method:

1) Turn on the component you want to control (TV, VCR, DVD)
2) Press and hold BOTH the component button on the remote and the On-Off button
3) The On-Off button remains lit. Now press Play (The On-Off button will blink)
4) If, after five seconds, the component does not respond, continue to press the PLAY button every five seconds until the component turns off.
5) When the component turns off, press and release the REVERSE button, then wait two seconds to see if the component turns on again.
6) To save the new code, when the illuminated ON-OFF button turns off, press and release the STOP button.
