1) Introduction

The 2 in 1 Universal Remote Control is designed to control up to 2 devices (TV, VCR). The 2 in 1 Universal Remote Control contains a library of codes that are pre-programmed into the remote control. This library covers nearly all the audio video products on the market today.

In connection with the numeric keys, this button allows you with some equipment to select directly channels higher than 9. [14] A/V: Selection of an external source (SCART input).

4) Programming your TV and AUX modes

Note: You can dedicate any appliance (TV, DVD, SAT...) to the AUX key: you just need to enter the 4 digit code (found in the code book) of the appliance, i.e. a DVD code under the AUX key. In any case, follow the steps below:

1. Make sure your equipment is switched on (for example TV).

2. Press and hold the S (2) key until the LED indicator (1) lights continuously. Release the S key.

3. Press and release the mode key (9) of the device you want to control (for example TV).

4. Enter the 4 digit code (12) from the Code Book. The LED (1) turns off after the last digit is entered. If you

entered a wrong code the LED blinks for 3 seconds and then goes off. You have to repeat from step 2.

5. Point the remote in the direction of your TV and press the POWER button (3). Your device should turn

off. Check other functions (for example for a VCR: FF or REW etc.). If certain functions are not responding this indicates that the entered code is not the correct one. In that case repeat the above procedure with the next corresponding code of your brand.

6. Repeat this procedure from step 1 for the other equipment you want to control (TV, VCR, DVD, SAT)

5) Manual code search

If your equipment (TV, SAT etc....) does not respond, try the other codes for your brand. If it still doesn’t respond, try the Code Search method. Note: As you can dedicate any appliance (TV, DVD, SAT...) to the AUX keys you need first to enter any 4 digit code for the kind of appliance you wish to control (found in the code book), i.e.: If you want to program a SAT under the AUX key, enter any SAT code found in the code book and then follow the steps below: 1, Make sure your equipment is switched on. If not switch it on manually.

2. Press and hold S (2) until the LED indicator lights (1) steadily. Release S key.

3. Press the mode key (9) that matches the equipment you want to control (for example TV).

4. Press PROG + (6) repeatedly until the PROG changes. If you step past the correct code use PROG - (6) to go

back to the right code.

5. When the equipment you want to control reacts press -/-- (13) to confirm the code. That’s all.

Note: If your equipment doesn’t have PROG +, you can use PLAY (VCR or DVD) (5) or POWER (3) key. The search starts after the last registered code. If that was 0030, the search starts at 0031 until the last possible code and then goes from 0000 to 0029. Note: if certain functions of your equipment can’t be controlled you have to find a different code for your brand.

6) Automatic code search

When searching an unknown code, you can step through the library automatically (AutoSearch). When your equipment responds, you can stop the searching process and store the code you found. Note: As you can dedicate any appliance (TV, DVD, SAT...) to the AUX key, you need first to enter any 4 digit code for the kind of appliance you wish to control (found in the code book, i.e.: If you want to program a SAT under the AUX key, enter any SAT code found in the code book and then follow the steps below:

1. Turn on the device you want to control.

2. Press and hold S (2) until the LED indicator (1) lights steadily. Release S button.

3. Press the mode button (3) that matches the equipment you wish to control. The LED (1) blinks once.

4. Press PROG+ (6) once. After a few seconds the remote starts stepping through the code library (fast search,

1 code per second). When the device responds, you can press PROG+ (6) to switch to slow search (1 code per 3 seconds). You can step back by pressing PROG- (6) (you can step forward by pressing PROG+ (6) in case you went too far back). As soon as the device responds again, press the -/-- key (13) to store the code you found.

7) Identifying codes found using the search procedure

1. Press and hold S (2) until the LED indicator (1) lights steadily. Release S key.

2. Press the mode key (9) for the equipment you want to identify (TV or AUX). The LED blinks once.

3, Press again S. The LED blinks once. 4, To identify the first digit press each number button from 0 – 9 (12) until the LED blinks. The number you pressed is the first digit of the code.

5. Press each number key from 0 – 9 as above to find the second and third digit.

6, Press each number key from 0 – 9 as above to find the fourth digit. When the fourth digit has been found the LED will go off. Don’t forget to write down the code on the label of the battery compartment.

8) Volume Control

Adjustment of ALL volume controls under a specific mode You can program the remote control so that the volume and mute keys control a specific device (the volume control must exist on the corresponding device). E.g. control of TV sound in TV mode and AUX mode.

1. Press and hold S (2) until the LED indicator (1) lights steadily. Release S.

2. Press and hold MUTE (4) until the LED (1) blinks once. Release MUTE.

3. Press once on the mode key (TV or AUX) corresponding to the device whose volume will always be

controlled by the VOL (7) and MUTE (4) keys.

4. Press the MUTE (4) key once.

Adjustment of the volume controls for EACH mode. You can program the remote control so that the volume control is functional for each mode selected (the volume control must exist on the corresponding device). E.g. control of the television set sound in TV mode, control of the sound of the appliance programmed under the AUX button in AUX mode.

1. Press and hold S (2) until the LED indicator (1) lights steadily. Release S.

2. Press and hold MUTE (4) until the LED (1) blinks once. Release MUTE.

3. Press once on the mode key (TV, AUX) corresponding to the device whose volume will always be controlled

by the VOL (7) and MUTE (4) keys.

4. Press the VOL-(7) key once.

5. Press the MUTE (4) key once.

9) Problems and troubleshooting

The remote doesn’t work or loses codes entered Confirm with your original remote that the equipment works correctly. Make sure that you have pressed the corresponding mode key of the equipment or device that you want to control. If the listed code does not work , try the AUTOSEARCH method or enter the next code of that brand. To find the corresponding code for your equipment use the automatic search. Check that the batteries have the correct polarity position. The programming of the remote requires 2 CR2032 batteries (new). If the remote loses codes within a few days/weeks the problem can be solved by using 2 new batteries from the same brand. If the LED is lit permanently, in general it will be necessary to replace the batteries. Important: The 2 in 1 Universal Remote Control must be used only in the way described in this instruction manual and may not be used for a purpose not intended.
