20 Most Recent RCA RTD215 Theater System Questions & Answers

I had this issue as well. I noticed that there was a sound each time that I tried to turn on the system after plugging it in. The sound seemed to be coming from the disc tray, so I opened the casing and unscrewed the disc tray as well. I fiddled with it until I could get the long lost DVD out of it. ( Family Guy, volume nine, disc 1). I put everything back together and voila! It works again!

If you really like the unit (disregarding the DVD player issues), maybe you could buy a GOOD stand-alone DVD or BluRay player and be ready for an upgrade in the electronics when the bug bites.

Yes there is one available. You need to have Adobe pdf reader installed on your computer to view it. Click here to open. It will take a few minutes to open. If you have a slow internet connection, right-click on the blue link and select save-as. This will download the file to your hard disk and you can view or print it offline.

What is the make and model of the universal remote? They each have their own sets of codes, so there's not a code for your DVD that works with all universal remotes.

Post back the make and model info using the "add comment" button, and I'll do my best to look up RCA DVD player codes for it.

it will not read from an ipod and we had the same problem. We plugged in a regular usb to clear and then it went away. it will play music from a usb but not a ipod.

Which One For All remote do you have? The manuals and code lists for most are available here: http://www.oneforall.com/support/manual . Use the drop down menus to select Universal Remote Control and then the specific remote model. Then click on the link to the manual.

You may need to program the amplifier and the dvd player separately. The codes below are for the URC-9960.
RCA Audio Amplifier codes: 1023, 1254, 0531, 1390, 1609
RCA DVD Player codes: 0522, 0571, 0717, 0822

Please note that universal remote controls only have codes for devices released 6 months or more before the remote was programmed. If your Home Theater System is newer than your One For All remote, you may need a newer remote.

I hope this helps.

This reson you are not hearing any "TV AUDIO" through your RCA surround system would be due to your tv sound output not being connected to an audio input into your surround system. You can hear DVDs,CDs and radio possibly mp3 if connected, as these are built in to the amplifier which the speakers connect to.
If the tv has a Line out (via phono plugs) and NOT via headphone out, connect it to an audio input on the RCA surround system. If the RCA has no other available inputs, well....there ain't a lot you can do but watch CSI with the sound from the TV and then Star Wars (for example) through the TV and Surround system.

Get the TV-related audio from your cable or satellite box if you have it. Use the highest quality multichannel output of either one (if available). Also run the stereo audio out from it to the TV just in case you want to watch lo-fi news and weather without the HTS turned on.

You've got the cables plugged in wrong at the TV end. The green plug is the luinance conductor or the black and white signal, and yyou have it right, but the red and blue are wrong. Check your connections again and make sure all the connections are amde on the same input (comp1, comp2...), and not crossed over such as green plugged into comp 1, and red and blue plugged into comp 2.
Good luck.
