• Remove the battery cover on the back of the universal remote control (A).
• Insert the batteries, observing the “+/-” marks for polarity (B).
• Close the battery compartment (C).

Note: Code memory

• This remote control saves the settings even during a battery change.

Note: Energy saving function

• The remote control switches itself off automatically if a button is pressed for longer than 15 seconds. This prolongs the life of the batteries if the remote control is stuck in a place where the buttons are pressed permanently, e.g. between sofa cushions.

Setup

Note

• For proper infra-red transmission, always hold the remote control in the approximate direction of the device to be operated.
• If no entry is made within 30 seconds, SETUP mode is automatically terminated. The LED flashes six times and then goes out.
• You cannot operate a device with the universal remote control while it is in Setup mode. Exit Setup mode and select the device to be operated using the device selection buttons.
• Please note that the remote control emits infra-red signals. These are not visible to the human eye.

Direct code entry
A code list is included in the universal remote control’s extent of delivery. The code list contains five-digit codes for setting the remote control to work with most AV equipment manufacturers.
For easy orientation, the codes are sorted first by
type of device (TV, STB) and within the type of device alphabetically by brand name.

1. Switch the device you wish to operate on.
2. Press the “SETUP” button until the LED lights up continuously.
3. Use the device button to select the device to be operated (e.g. TV). If the selection is successful, the LED flashes once and then lights up permanently.
4. Search the code list for the brand and type of the device to be operated.
5. Enter the corresponding five-digit code using the number buttons 0-9. The LED confirms the entry of each digit with a short flash and goes out after the fifth digit.
6. Then test the remote control and check whether the desired functions can be controlled. It is possible that the first code is not the most suitable, and possibly not all functions are available. In this case, try the next code mentioned for the selected device type/brand from the list.

Note

• A valid code is automatically saved.
• If the code is invalid, the LED flashes six times and then goes out. Repeat steps 5.1.1 to 5.1.5, or use another method to enter the code.

Manual code search
The universal remote control has an internal memory that already contains up to 350 codes per device type for the most common AV devices. You can go through these codes until the device to be operated shows a response. For example, the device to be operated switches off
(“POWER” button) or changes channel (“CH+/CH-” buttons).

1. Switch the device you wish to operate on.
2. Press the SETUP button until the LED lights up permanently.
3. Use the device button to select the device to be operated (e.g. TV). If the selection is successful, the LED flashes once and then lights up permanently.
4. Press the “POWER” or “CH+/CH-” button to scroll through the preset codes until the device to be operated shows a response.
5. Press “MUTE” to save the code and exit the code search. The LED goes out.
6. Then test the remote control and check whether the desired functions can be controlled. It is possible that the first code found is not the most suitable, and possibly not all functions are available. In this case, repeat steps 5.2.1. – 5.2.5. The code search starts with the next code following the last one saved.

Note

• A maximum of 350 codes of the most common devices can be stored in the internal memory. Due to the numerous AV devices available on the market, it may happen that only the most common main functions are available. If this is the case, repeat steps 5.2.1 to 5.2.5 to find a more compatible code. A code may not be available for some specific device models.

Automatic code search
The automatic code search uses the same preset codes as the manual code search (5.2). However, the universal remote control automatically searches the codes until the device to be operated shows a response. For example, the device to be operated switches off (“POWER” button) or changes channel (“CH+/CH-” buttons).

1. Switch the device you wish to operate on.

2. Press the “SETUP” button until the LED lights up continuously.

3. Use the device button to select the device to be operated (e.g. TV). If the selection is successful, the LED flashes once and then lights up permanently.

4. Press the “CH+/CH-” or “POWER” button to start the automatic code search. The LED flashes once and then lights up permanently. It takes 6 seconds for the universal remote control to start the first search.
   Note:
   Setting the search speed

   • The default setting for the search time per code is 1 second. If this does not suit you, you can change to a search time of 3 seconds per code. To switch between search times, press “CH+” or “CH-” within the 6 seconds before the automatic code search starts.

5. The LED confirms the respective code searches with a single flash.

6. As soon as the device to be operated shows a response, press the “MUTE” button to save the code and exit the code search. The LED goes out. 5.3.7 Then test the remote control and check whether the desired functions can be controlled. It is possible that the first code found is not the most suitable, and possibly not all functions are available. In this case, repeat steps 5.3.1. – 5.3.6.

7. The code search starts with the next code following the last one saved.

8. To cancel the automatic search during the search process, press the “EXIT” button.

Note

• If all codes have been searched without success, the universal remote control exits the automatic code search and automatically returns to operating mode. The currently stored code remains unchanged.

Code recognition
Code recognition offers you the ability to determine a code you have already saved.

1. Press the “SETUP” button until the LED lights up continuously.
2. Use the device button to select the device to be operated (e.g. TV). If the selection is successful, the LED flashes once and then lights up permanently.
3. Press the “SETUP” button. The LED flashes once and then lights up permanently.
4. Press one of the number buttons from 0 to 9 to search for the first digit. The LED flashes once for the first digit of the five-digit code number.
5. Repeat step 5.4.4 for the second, third, fourth and fifth digits respectively.
6. You can then enter the determined code in the table below if you need it again at a later time (e.g. after accidentally deleting the remote control settings).
