To set up your device

1. Turn on your device (not on standby) and point the Essence remote towards it. If you are setting up a Streaming device, make sure a movie or TV show is playing.
2. Press the Device key you wish to set up (for example TV).
3. Hold down the SETUP key until the LED under the Device key blinks twice
4. Hold down the digit key for your brand and device as listed in the tables above – e.g. 3 for a Philips TV.
5. The remote will send a Power command every 3 seconds, but if your device does not have a Power function (for example a streaming box like Apple TV) the remote will send the Play/Pause function.
6. As soon as your device reacts by turning off or Pausing (Streaming box only) release the digit.
7. The LED will blink twice and the remote should now operate your device.

• If you find one or more keys do not work as you expect, start again at step 2 – the remote will start with the next code in the memory.

SETUP BY CODE

If the brand of your device is not listed in the SimpleSet feature, you can set up by trying codes individually. To do this, firstly locate your brand in the Code List. Codes are listed by brand and device, and in order of popularity.

1. Turn on your device (not on standby) and point the Essence remote towards it.
2. Press the Device key you wish to set up (for example TV)
3. Hold down the SETUP key until the LED under the Device key blinks twice
4. Enter the first 4 digit code listed for your brand (e.g. 1840 for LG).
5. The LED will blink twice on the last digit of the code.
6. Now aim the remote towards your device and press the POWER key.*
7. If the device turns off your remote is ready to use. If not, repeat steps 2-6 with the next code in the list.

Note: If your original remote did not have a Power key, try testing with a different key at step 6. For example try pressing Play or Pause when setting up a streaming box and see if the box responds.

LEARNING

Your Essence remote control can learn any function from any other working remote control. This is a quick and easy one-time setup that allows you to control any infrared controlled device you have in your living room. It also allows you to add a key or keys that may be missing to a spare key on the Essence. To do this, firstly make sure you have all your original remote controls to hand, and that they have working batteries in. To learn functions, the original remote should be approximately 2-5 cm from the Essence remote, pointing towards it:

1. Press the Device key for the device you want to learn functions onto (e.g. TV).
2. Hold down the SETUP key until the LED under the Device key blinks twice.
3. Press 975 – the LED should blink twice.
4. Press and release the key you want to learn a function onto (for example the POWER key) – the LED will begin to flash rapidly.
5. Press and release* the corresponding key on the original remote, for example POWER.
6. The LED will blink twice to indicate the key has been learned correctly.
7. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each key you want to learn – remember you can learn from multiple remotes, but only one function per key.
8. When you have learned all the functions you require, press and hold the SETUP key until the LED blinks twice.

• Some remotes send commands differently. If you find a function cannot be learned, try holding down the key on the original remote instead of pressing and releasing.

Hints

• If the LED shows one long blink at step 5, the function was not learned correctly, please try again from step 4.
• If you find one or more keys don’t work properly after set up, you can re-enter the learning mode at any time by repeating the procedure from step 1.
• If one or more of your original remotes aren’t working, you can still set up the Essence remote by SimpleSet or Code Set Up.

Deleting a learned function

If you want to delete a learned function and return that key to its original state, you can use the following procedure:

1. Press the Device key for the device your learned function operates
2. Hold down the SETUP key until the LED under the Device key blinks twice
3. Press 976 – the LED should blink twice
4. Press the key you want to reset twice – the LED should blink twice and the learned function has been deleted.

VOLUME LOCK

If you primarily use one device for controlling sound, for example a Sound Bar or Audio Video Receiver, it’s possible to program your Essence remote to only control that device when you use the Volume Up, Down and Mute keys. To do this:

1. Hold down the SETUP key until the LED under the Device key blinks twice.
2. Press 993 – the LED should blink twice.
3. Press the device key for the device to always control volume – for example Audio.
4. The LED will blink twice.

From now on, pressing the Volume Up, Down or Mute keys will always control the above programmed device, no matter what device you are controlling.

To unlock the volume, and return the remote to controlling each device’s sound individually, the procedure is:

1. Hold down the SETUP key until the LED under the Device key blinks twice
2. Press 993 – the LED should blink twice
3. Press VOLUME DOWN – the LED will blink four times and Volume is now unlocked.

APP SHORTCUT KEY

The Essence remote features an App Shortcut Key which can be used to open app on your Smart Devices. If your original remote control has a Netflix key, this key will perform the same function.

However if you did not have a key like this, but still had the ability to watch a streaming service, you can use this key as a shortcut by programming a macro on it. Most AV devices which are connected to the internet, such as Smart TVs or streaming Set Top Boxes have one or more applications they can run to access TV viewing via the internet. Examples of these would be Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime or similar. To program the macro, you first need to know the device you use to access the service, and then the sequence of keys you need to press to always bring up the service you prefer, For example, some Panasonic TVs will start Netflix by pressing the Apps key, then Menu Down Twice, and finally the OK key. Or on an Apple TV, the sequence is Menu, Menu Down and OK.

Once you have determined the sequence for your device, follow these steps:

1. Sit in front of your device with it switched on (not on standby)
2. Hold down the App Shortcut key until the LED blinks twice.
3. Press the device key for the device you want to use for the macro (e.g. Stream)
4. Now perform the sequence of keys exactly as you would normally to start your streaming service The remote will operate your device and the macro is recorded in real time – so if it normally takes a few seconds for your device to react don’t worry.
5. Once you have finished the sequence – and the Streaming Service has started on your device – hold down the App Shortcut key until the LED blinks twice and goes out. The macro is now stored.

Tips

• Make sure the Essence remote is operating the device in question before programming
• If you find the Macro doesn’t work as expected, you can just repeat the same sequence to reprogram
• When programming, wait for your device to respond first, the remote will remember the timing
• The App Shortcut macro is tied to one device, remember to make sure you are watching the correct device
