The code search button on a RCA universal remote is used to find the correct code to control a specific device. When you press and hold this button, the remote enters a mode where it attempts to find the code for your device by cycling through all available codes. Once the device responds and is controlled by the remote, you would release the button to save that code. Depending on the model of your RCA universal remote, the code search button could look different, but often it is labeled as "Code Search" or similar.

Unfortunately, programming a universal remote to a TV without codes is not possible. The purpose of codes is to establish a communication protocol between the remote and the device it is controlling. Without codes, the remote cannot understand or transmit the necessary signals to operate your TV. Therefore, you will need to find the correct codes for your RCA LED42C45RQ TV in order to successfully program your universal remote. These codes can usually be found in the instruction manual provided with the remote or on the manufacturer's website.
