What if my brand is not in the code list?

Use the search method: hold M until two blinks, type 991, then press POWER. Press CH+ repeatedly until the device turns off. As soon as it turns off, press M to memorize the code.

How to copy a function from my original remote to the URC 7950?

Place the two remotes facing each other, 2-5 cm apart. Hold M until two blinks, type 975. Press the device key (e.g., TV) then the destination key (e.g., red key). Hold the source key on the old remote until the LED blinks twice.

What does the Key Magic function mean?

Key Magic allows you to assign missing functions to a key of your choice. You need to obtain a 5-digit function code from customer service. Then, hold M, type 994, press M once, enter the function code, then press the key that will receive the function.

How to program a macro to turn off multiple devices?

Hold M until two blinks, type 995. Press the key that will trigger the macro (e.g., red key). Then press the desired sequences, for example TV POWER, VCR POWER, DVD POWER. Finish by holding M until two blinks.

How to make the volume work in all modes?

Enable volume access: hold M until two blinks, type 993, then press the TV key. From now on, the volume keys will control the TV even in VCR, DVD, etc. modes.

Should the batteries be removed for a long time?

Yes, remove the batteries if you do not use the remote for several months. Always use new AA alkaline batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries.

How to reset the remote to factory settings?

Hold M until two blinks, type 980. The LED blinks four times. This erases all learned functions, macros, and Key Magic settings.

Why doesn't the record key work?

For safety, the REC key requires pressing it twice to start recording. This prevents accidental triggers.

What to do if the LED does not blink?

Check the batteries: replace them with new AA alkaline batteries. If the problem persists, contact customer service at the number indicated in the manual.

• Here you must press and hold down the M (MAGIC) key until the red LED underneath the POWER key blinks twice (the red LED will blink once then twice).

• Each MACRO can consist of a maximum of 15 key strokes.

• Make sure that you program a Macro on a spare key that you don't use in any mode.
• Once you program a Macro on a specific key, the sequence will work regardless of the mode (TV, VCR, SAT, DVD and AMP) you are using.
• To avoid accidental recordings with the ONE FOR ALL 5, you must press the Record key twice to begin recording. Because of this, you cannot assign a Macro or Shifted Macro to the Record key.
• If you had to hold down a key for a few seconds on the original remote control to get a function, this function may not work in a macro on your ONE FOR ALL remote.
• If you program a Macro on a key, the original function will become shifted (excluding CH + / - and VOL + / - keys). Press M (MAGIC) key then the key to access it. If you place a Macro shifted on a digit key, access the original function by pressing the M (MAGIC) key twice and then the digit key.
• If a Shifted Macro is placed on the Channel and Volume keys then the Colour and Brightness feature will be sacrificed.

Key Magic

how to program missing functions

Key Magic is an exclusive ONE FOR ALL feature. The design of the ONE FOR ALL ensures that many functions of your original remote control can be operated - even those that do not have their own key on the ONE FOR ALL keypad. Frequently used functions can be assigned to a key of your choice using the Key Magic feature of your ONE FOR ALL.

In order to program a certain function with Key Magic you need to know the corresponding function code. As these function codes vary with different types of devices, they cannot be found in the manual. You can request your function codes calling our consumer service or by sending us a fax or e-mail.

Please mention:

• The 4-digit set-up code your device is working with.
• How the function was labelled on your original remote control.

Once you obtain(ed) your function code(s) from customer service, programming the code is easy:

1 Press the device key (TV, VCR, SAT, DVD and AMP).
2 Press and hold down the M (MAGIC) key until the red LED underneath the POWER key blinks twice (the red LED will blink once then twice).
3 Press 9 9 4. The red LED underneath the POWER key will blink twice.
4 Press the M (MAGIC) key once.
