Find codes for each device and brand using this website. Search codes by type in the brand name of your device; in the search box, at the top right of the display window.  Note the set-up codes said for your device; [whether it is 4 digit, 3 digit or so], and then proceed.
RCA universal remote control set-up procedure
1.1Press and “HOLD” CODE SEARCH.
2. Press and release the TV or VCR button you want to set up. When the selected device button blinks go to the next step.
3. Next enter the 3 digit code from the TV, VCR or Cable Box remote code list.

3. Press the UP or DOWN arrow on the remote (about one press per second). During the scan, the mode light will remain lit when you are not pressing the up or down arrow, but will go out each time the arrow is pressed.

If the scan has cycled through all available codes, the mode light will blink rapidly for two seconds, and will light up only when you press the up or down arrow. This may take approximately 5 minutes. If the scan fails to produce a code that will control the device, advise the customer that Dish does not currently support the equipment.
5. Press the POUND (#) button. The device Mode button should flash 3 times.
5. Press the POWER button on your remote to turn the device on. If this does not work, return to step 1.
