Frequently Asked Questions - UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL REMOTEC

How many devices can this REMOTEC remote control operate?

The REMOTEC BW0378 is a 6-in-1 remote control that can operate up to 6 different devices: TV, VCR, satellite decoder, DVD player, amplifier, or cable TV. One remote thus replaces all the remotes in your living room.

How do I program the remote control with a 4-digit code?

Press and hold the button corresponding to the type of device (TV, DVD, SAT...) until the indicator light turns on. Then, enter the 4-digit code for your brand, available in the code list provided with the manual. The indicator turns off to confirm that programming was successful.

What if my device's code is not listed?

Use the automatic code search: press and hold the device mode button, then press the Power button repeatedly. The remote tests the codes one by one. As soon as your device responds (turns off), confirm the code found according to the procedure described in the manual.

What is the Punch Through function and what is it for?

The Punch Through function allows you to control the volume and mute of your TV regardless of the active device mode on the remote. You don't need to change modes to adjust the sound when using the DVD or satellite decoder.

How do I access secondary functions with the SHIFT button?

Press the SHIFT button before pressing another button to access the associated secondary commands. This function allows access to more commands without multiplying the number of physical buttons on the remote.

Can the remote learn codes from an original remote?

Yes, the REMOTEC BW0378 includes an infrared learning function. It can copy and store signals emitted by an original remote, which is particularly useful for devices whose code is not in the preprogrammed library.

What batteries should be used and how do I know when to change them?

Alkaline batteries are recommended for optimal performance. The type and number of batteries are indicated in the battery compartment on the back of the remote. When the indicator light blinks slowly twice after a command, it means the batteries are low and need to be replaced.

What if the remote no longer controls the device?

Check the battery status and replace them if necessary. Make sure to aim the remote at the infrared receiver of the device without any obstacles in between. If the problem persists, try reprogramming the remote using another code for your brand in the code list.

Is it possible to erase the programming of a device mode?

Yes, it is possible to reset the programming of a specific device mode. The exact procedure (combination of buttons to hold) is detailed in the manual provided with the remote. Resetting does not affect other programmed modes.

Is this remote compatible with recent devices?

The preprogrammed code library covers a wide range of brands and models. For recent devices not listed, the infrared learning function allows you to directly copy signals from the original remote to ensure full compatibility.

Operating Instructions

Control Remoto Universal (CRU)

For English Reader Page 1-4

Congratulations! Your Universal Remote Control (URC) is a state-of-the-art device which integrates many different infra-red remote controls to deliver instant A/V action to your fingertips.

Before operating the remote, please read thoroughly (1) the interior of the coversheet and (2) this manual. Then reserve them for future reference.

1 HOW TO INSTALL BATTERIES

Alkaline batteries are recommended. The number of battery required stated at the back of the coversheet.

1. Remove the battery cover on the back of your URC.
2. Observe the polarity of the batteries and the “+/-” marks inside the battery compartment.
3. Insert the batteries.
4. Push the battery cover back in place.

Battery Low

If the indicator flashes twice slowly after your invoking of any command, it shows that the battery level is low. You must replace them with new batteries to ensure proper functioning.

2 HOW TO SET UP THE URC

By entering Device Code

You may setup the URC by the following code entering instructions.

1. Refer to the DEVICE CODE LIST, look up the 4-digit Device Code which corresponds to the brands of your A/V equipment. If there are more than one Device Code listed under your brand, try from the first code.
2. Press a desired Device Mode Key (e.g. TV ).
3. Hold down “ CH+ ” and “ VOL- ” on the URC together simultaneously for 2 seconds until the indicator lights up.
4. Use the number keys ① - ⑨ to enter your 4-digit Device Code, the indicator should go out immediately.

Turn on your device (e.g. TV), try the function keys on the URC. If your device (e.g. TV) responds to your invoked function correctly, you have entered the right Device Code. Otherwise, repeat the above setup instructions with the rest available Device Codes until your device (e.g. TV) responds to your invoked function, and most keys work correctly.

• Simply repeat the above procedures to enter the Device Codes for your VCR, SAT, DVD or CTV. (Remember to press a correct Device Mode Key in step 2 above)

Note :

DVD, CTV and other Device Codes can be entered into any device modes except "TV" & "VCR" modes. Just simply press the device mode key and enter your 4-digit device code for DVD, CTV and other devices. If the indicator flashes twice in step 4, a wrong Device Code has been entered. You are required to repeat step 2 to 4 again.

Suggestion :

• If you cannot find a correct Device Code for your equipment, see 2 HOW TO SET UP THE URC- By Searching Through the Library.
• You are recommended to jot down your Device Codes in the space provided on back label after setting up the URC correctly for future reference.

By Searching Through the Library

If you cannot identify a correct Device Code for your equipment from the Device Code list, you may search the code through the library:-

1. Turn on your device manually (e.g. TV).
2. Press a desired Device Mode Key (e.g. TV).
3. Hold down “ CH+ ” and “ VOL- ” on the URC together simultaneously for 2 seconds until the indicator lights up.
4. Enter a corresponding Magic Search Code from following table. The indicator should go out immediately.

DEVICE TYPE:	TV	VCR	SAT	CTV	DVD
MAGIC SEARCH CODE:	0001	0002	0003	0004	0005

(e.g. press TV device mode key, then press “CH+” and “VOL-”, and enter TV Magic Search Code 0001.)

1. Press the same desired device mode key again as in step 2 above. (e.g. (TV) )
2. Hold down “ CH+ ” & “ VOL- ” together simultaneously for 2 seconds until the indicator lights up, and your URC is ready to start searching.
3. Aim the URC at your device (e.g. TV), press the “ ” key repeatedly, slowly and patiently until the device has been turned off.

Once your device has been turned off, immediately press Device Mode Key (e.g. TV) to lock in code and the indicator should go out.

• Simply repeat the above setup procedures to search the Device Code for your VCR, SAT, DVD or CTV. (Remember to press a correct Device Mode Key and correct Magic Search Code in step 2-5 above)

IMPORTANT:

• If the power on/off function of your device is not infra-red controlled - you need to follow steps 2 to 6 above and start searching :-
• Press “ ” and another important function key alternately until your device responds to the expected function, press the same Device Mode Key (e.g. TV) to lock in the code.

e.g. Press " " & " 1 " alternately, or ;

Press “ ” & “▶”alternately.

Note:

DVD, CTV and other device codes can be searched and locked into any device modes except "TV" & "VCR" modes. Just simply press the corresponding device mode key in step 2 & 5 and enter an appropriate Magic Search Code for your DVD, CTV and other devices.
Each time you press the “ () ”, the URC will skip to the next code and send out a POWER signal trying to turn off your device.

If you failed to stop pressing “ ” in time when your device has been turned off, turn on your device again immediately. Before the indicator goes out, press “ ” on the URC to skip backward. Repeat the step 7 above and lock in code.

• If the indicator flashes twice after your pressing of “( )” key, you are already at the last code of the library. Press “CH+” and “VOL-” to resume the URC and repeat carefully the above procedures to search again.
