Direct replacement for RCA 12226569

This universal remote is a direct replacement for the original RCA 12226569 and STA3850 models. It replicates every button and function of the original handset. The unit arrives pre-programmed and ready to use once batteries are inserted. It is designed for owners of compatible RCA equipment who need a new remote.

Upgrade from a lost or damaged original

It replaces a lost, broken or worn-out factory remote without requiring any setup codes. The jump is worth it when the original handset is unavailable or the buttons have become unreliable. It supports control of one device using infrared transmission. Buyers who need to operate multiple components from a single handset should look elsewhere.

Fits into an RCA infrared setup

The remote operates on two AAA batteries and communicates via infrared line of sight. It frees you from hunting for obscure programming codes or using a smartphone app. No additional hubs, cables or software are required for basic operation. Ensure the target device uses the same infrared protocol as the original RCA 12226569.
