Changing the batteries in the DVD remote reeks havoc on TV watching

The batteries die in the DVD player's remote and all TV watching is interrupted.  If only because we have programmed the remote to work with the TV as well.

Should be a simple fix, right?  But who remembers the code to enter and the exact steps needed to make it work? Luckily, the Internet holds information, even for 10 year old TVs and their 5 yr old DVD counterparts.

So for the next time the batteries die, the code to enter on the DVD remote for the RCA brand TV we own is 1461. Specifically, hold down the
"Quickview" button while entering the code.
