Does not work and no support
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The remote worked a short time with my Samsung Tv and Sonos, then suddenly out of nowhere, when I aim at the tv, it continuously scrolls down. I can’t even use it. Samsung says it is not their problem, RCA says they don’t support remotes, and the wonderful BESTBUY total plan that I purchased allowed me to chat with geek squad where the agent told me he/she would set up an instore appointment or they could come out for $103.99…not even an option to help me trouble shoot. And to make matters a little more clear, when the remote initially worked, I purchased a 2nd remote for another tv. I tried to set this one up as well in case maybe a button was stuck - same issue happened. Now i am stuck with 2 remotes that don’t work and no one to help.

Posted .Hello, LHemo – Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and we're sorry to hear about the frustration you've had. Since both remotes showed the same scrolling behavior, it's unlikely that two units would coincidentally have stuck buttons. This may instead indicate an improper code entry or, in some cases, a TV model that isn’t fully compatible—despite Samsung generally being one of the most supported and reliable brands with our universal remotes. While there is a single code listed for Sonos, it's worth noting that most Sonos products offer very limited support for IR remote functionality.

Posted .Hello Patty – It sounds like your review may have been left under the wrong product listing. The RCA Rechargeable 3-Device Universal Remote is designed to control TVs, streaming devices, and soundbars — not home phones as the title of your review and actual review note.

Posted .Hello Alex - We’re glad to hear you like the remote, but we’re sorry to hear you had difficulty programming it. To clarify, there is no app required or available to sync this remote—it’s programmed manually using the included code list or the Auto Code Search feature. Detailed programming instructions can be found at https://www.rcaremotessupport.com, which also includes troubleshooting tips and assistance.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It didn't work at all, even though it was the same make as my TV (RCA). I tried pairing it multiple times, and it was utterly futile. I ended up throwing it away.

Posted .Hello Patroit162 – The remote is compatible with many Roku streaming boxes and TVs, but there are exceptions. This remote may not directly control Roku Streaming Sticks (which plug directly into the HDMI port and use RF or Wi-Fi remotes). or Roku soundbars that do not use traditional IR remote signals. If you are using a Roku box (not a stick), there are multiple codes listed in the manual for programming, and it may require trying each one or using the Auto Code Search to enable full functionality. Compatibility details are provided on the packaging and in the manual.

Posted .Hello JOSHS – Our universal remote is designed to work with most major brands of TVs, soundbars, and streaming devices, including Sony. We typically see great success with Sony products, but some models may require trying all codes in the Owner’s Manual or using the Auto Code Search feature for the best results. Please note, not all functions available on the original remote are guaranteed with a universal remote. If the device you’re trying to program is not a TV, soundbar, or streaming device, compatibility is not supported.

A good universal remote that fall short in areas.
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a tech enthusiast, I have tried my fair share of universal remotes, but the RCA Universal Streaming Rechargeable Remote stands out from the crowd. This sleek and compact remote is designed to streamline your streaming experience and provide the ultimate convenience. Setting up the RCA Universal Remote was a breeze, with a straightforward programming process that allowed me to sync it with my streaming devices in just a few minutes. The remote offers compatibility with popular streaming platforms such as Roku, Apple TV, and Amazon Fire TV, allowing me to control all my devices with just one remote. However, I did encounter an issue with the remote not turning on my Xbox One X game console. Once the Xbox was turned on manually, the remote worked seamlessly to control it. This compatibility limitation was a slight disappointment. The RCA Universal Remote does not actually have backlit buttons. This can be problematic, especially in low-light environments, as it becomes difficult to use the remote and accurately navigate the buttons.Despite the lack of backlit buttons, the RCA Universal Remote still offers an ergonomic design that fits comfortably in the hand. The button layout is intuitive and user-friendly, but the absence of backlighting makes it challenging to use in dimly lit environments. Dedicated shortcut buttons for popular streaming services allow for quick access to favorite apps, and the inclusion of a mute button, volume control, and navigation buttons enhances the overall user experience. The remote's infrared technology ensures reliable connectivity and responsive control. I experienced no lag or delay when using the remote, and the buttons were highly responsive. The remote's range is also commendable, reaching my devices from across the room without any issues. The rechargeable battery feature remains a standout aspect of this remote. Charging via the provided USB cable is convenient, and a single charge lasted me several weeks of regular use. The elimination of battery replacements not only saves money but also reduces environmental waste. The rechargeable feature continues to be a major plus for the RCA Universal Remote. In conclusion, the RCA Universal Streaming Rechargeable Remote offers some impressive features but falls short in a few areas. While the programming process is straightforward and the remote boasts wide compatibility, it failed to turn on my Xbox One X game console directly. The absence of backlit buttons is a notable drawback, making it difficult to use in low-light environments. However, the ergonomic design, responsiveness, and rechargeable battery feature still make it a worthwhile option for simplifying your streaming experience.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product is very disappointing. The remote disconnects often and most buttons don't do what they should. Would not recommend buying it

Posted .Hello, Julien – We’re sorry to hear about the frustration. Like all universal remotes, functionality depends heavily on the correct code being programmed for each device. While this RCA remote is compatible with thousands of models, no universal remote can guarantee 100% functionality with every button across every brand or device type. Some advanced or proprietary functions may not be supported, especially for streaming or specialty devices.
Do not ourchase
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought three of these and they do not hold the codes for a universal remote. Keep losing the sound bar.

Posted .Hello, LarryS – Thank you for your review. It’s unclear what you meant by “hold the codes,” but if none of the three remotes are working as expected with your sound bar, it’s possible the device may not be fully supported or only responds to limited IR commands. Some sound bars require specific setup modes to accept commands from universal remotes, and not all functions are guaranteed to be supported across every brand.
Stopped holding charge after 20 days.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Stopped holding charge after roughly 20 days. Waste of $25, warranty process is difficult and a waste of time for a product of this price.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Could not get it to work with my TV and Apple TV device
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Voxx Accessories Corp
Posted .Hello, PamelaA – This remote must be programmed to your TV using either a direct code entry or the auto code search method in order to function correctly. As for Apple TV, its core functions rely on Bluetooth and aren’t compatible with traditional IR remotes like this one, though limited IR control (such as volume) may be possible through your TV’s CEC setup.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Voxx Accessories Corp
Posted .HelloLissandraA - Sorry to read that the remote did not work with your TV. The remote is designed to work with most major brands of televisions but unfortunately compatibility can vary due to several factors such as TV model, firmware, and even hardware revisions.
