If you know how to program the D770 remote for device buttons other than the DVD device button, then you shouldn't have much of a problem. However, I suspect that you are unaware of the procedures for programming the remote (as I was before I researched it), or your DVD player is newer than the remote and/or the remote just simply does not contain the code for your DVD player, or the remote's batteries are dead or low, or the DVD device button on your remote is not working (which can be tested by noticing if the red LED under the ON/OFF button lights up when the DVD button is pushed). Under the rca.com website, I found the following webpage that shows the instruction manual in pdf format for the RCA D770 remote: http://download.ethomson.com/english/RCA/ACCESSORIES/IB/D770.pdf If the remote is working properly and it contains the code for your DVD player, then I am pretty sure that following the instructions from the said manual should solve the problem. However, aside from directly entering the code (which I found did work for me), when I tried (more than once) using the Automatic Code Search procedure as shown on page 5, it never worked...Which I thought I'd mention since some people might have the same problem occur, and I had found on my own a procedure for a solution to this problem that is not even mentioned in the said instruction manual. It is as follows: Turn on the device you want to control. Press and hold the button you want to program followed by holding down the ON/OFF button. When the red LED lights up, then release both buttons. While pointing the remote at the device, instead of doing any pressing of the PLAY button, just press the ON/OFF button until the device turns off. You need not wait 5 or more seconds between presses as you'd need to do when pushing the play button, but do not press the ON/OFF button way too fast. After, or upon, each press of the ON/OFF button, the LED blinks (goes off and immediately back on) and it is after this blink (that is, after the LED goes back on) when you can then press the ON/OFF button again. Don't worry, the blinks occur anywhere from about 1 second (which would be the max), to a fraction of a second, down to even the exact moment the ON/OFF button is pressed. Be careful though, so as to be able to stop when the device turns off...that is, do not press the button again after the device turns off. For, if you overshoot and press the button, even once, after the device turns off, you more than likely would have to hold down the CLEAR button until the LED goes out (and which clears the procedure), and then start the procedure over. Anyway, after the device does turn off, you then hold down the STOP button until the LED goes off, and your set to go. Comparing both procedures for Automatic Code Search, when the PLAY button is used to search, you only need to press the PLAY button a maximum of 20 times because each press sends, not just one code signal, but a group or set of different code signals in rapid succession to test which one turns the device off. If one set of signals do not work then you press the PLAY button to send another set. That is why you need to wait 5 or more seconds between presses. Although using the procedure in pressing the ON/OFF button requires a much less wait between presses (since only 1 code signal is sent for each press), accordingly, you would need to press the ON/OFF button a greater number of times to get through all the codes (Maybe around 100 presses or code-signals?). My only idea as to why my pressing the ON/OFF button for the code search worked while pressing the PLAY button did not is that the group of different codes sent after pressing PLAY were sent too close to each other...at least where MY television's ability to decipher them is concerned. And finally, just to let you know, the codes in the said manual for the remote are 4 digit codes and different from the 3 digit codes that are listed in web pages that show general codes for remote controls. Fop example, compare the code in the said manual with the codes I found for the same devices in web pages otherwise...1 of which I listed for you as follows out of the many I found on the net: http:/www.thompsontv.com/rcarc.html I found that all the web pages - except the web page for the D770 remote's manual - had the 3 digit codes that were all the same and consistent for the same devices; the said manual's codes were 4 digit and different. However, I put in and tried the associated 3-digit code, and then put in and tried the associated 4-digit code, for my TV and they both work the same! Well, I thought I'd leave you with this interesting info just in case you might need it. Good Luck, Vullin.

This unit is basically the same as the D770 universal remote. You can download instructions from RCA at RCA.COM.

How do you program a ds converter using a rca universal remote?

In programming a ds converter using an RCA universal remote, it is necessary to find the code for the remote. This can be done by turning devices on and pressing search. It will rotate through and stop when the successful setting has been reached. Switch to each additional device that needs to be connected on the remote and perform the same function. This will program all devices to work off the universal remote.
