If your device is not one of those listed above, or you have extra devices to set up, there are 2 ways to do this. The easiest is SimpleSet which is used for the common brands and devices.

SIMPLEST

If the brand of your device is shown in the SimpleSet picture pointing to a key, you can use the SimpleSet system described in this section, please locate the brand of your device and note the key associated with it.

To set up your device:

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.
Press the Device key you wish to set up (for example TV).
Hold down the Setup key until the LED under the Device key blinks twice.
Hold down the digit for your brand and device as listed in the tables above – e.g. 7 for a Samsung TV.
For all devices except OTT the remote will send the Power key every 3 seconds, for a streaming box the remote will send the Play/Pause function.
As soon as your device reacts by turning off or Pausing (Streaming box only) release the digit.
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.

Turn on your device (not on standby) and point the Essence remote towards it.
Press the Device key you wish to set up (for example TV).
Hold down the Setup key until the LED under the Device key blinks twice.
Enter the first 4 digit code listed for your brand (e.g. 1840 for LG).
The LED will blink twice on the last digit of the code.
Now aim the remote towards your device and press the Power key.*
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 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 3cm from the Essence remote, pointing towards it:

Press and release the key you want to learn a function onto (for example the TV Power key) – the LED will begin to flash rapidly.
Press and release* the corresponding key on the original remote, for example Power.
The LED will blink twice to indicate the key has been learned correctly.
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.
When you have learned all the functions you require, press and hold 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.
