1) Introduction

The 8 in 1 Universal Remote Control is designed to control up to 8 devices (TV, VCR, DVD, DVBT, SAT, ...). The 8 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.

4) Programming your TV, VCR, DVD, DVBT or SAT modes

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

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

2. Press and hold the SETUP (4) key until the LED indicator (1) lights continuously. Release the SETUP key.

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

example TV). Press first the Mode key (6) for DVBT, CBL, AMP and AUX.

4. Enter the 4 digit code (13) 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 (2).

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

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 VCR, DVD or SAT 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 VCR 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 SETUP (4) until the LED indicator lights steadily. Release

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

example TV). Press first the Mode key (6) for DVBT, CBL, AMP and AUX programing.

4. Press PROG + (7) repeatedly until the PROG changes. If you step past the

correct code use PROG - (7) to go back to the right code.

5. When the equipment you want to control reacts press ENT (15) to confirm the

code. That’s all. Note: If your equipment doesn’t have PROG +, you can use PLAY (VCR or DVD) (17) or POWER (2) 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 VCR, DVD or SAT 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 VCR 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 SETUP (4) until the LED indicator (1) lights steadily. Release

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

example TV). Press first the Mode key (6) for DVBT, CBL, AMP and AUX

4. Press PROG+ (7) 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+ (7) to switch to slow search (1 code per 3 seconds). You can step back by pressing PROG- (7) (you can step forward by pressing PROG+ (7) in case you went too far back). As soon as the device responds again, press the -ENT key (15) to store the code you found.

Control in the direction of your equipment, press once only PROG+ (7) continue to point the 8 in 1 Universal Remote Control at your equipment until the equipment changes channel. (The remote control sends an IR signal every second. So please wait until your equipment reacts). When your equipment does react, press on the key ENT (15) to confirm. If accidentally you miss the code, you can stop the autosearch by pressing PROG – (7) and by repeatedly pressing this key return to the right code. Press ENT (15) to confirm.

10) 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 AAA alkaline 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 8 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.
