Which devices can I control with the SILVERCREST URC 801?
The URC 801 is an 8-in-1 remote control that supports the following categories: TV, SAT, Audio, PC, VCR, DVD, DVR, and AUX. Each category has a dedicated selection button on the front of the remote.
How do I program the remote with a code from the list?
Press and hold the button of the desired device (TV, SAT, etc.) until the LCD screen displays the programming mode. Then enter the 4-digit code corresponding to your device's brand, found in the code list provided in the manual. The screen confirms the memorization.
How do I use the Learning function if I can't find my code?
Place the original remote facing the URC 801, at a distance of 2.5 to 5 cm. Activate the learning mode on the URC 801, press the button to learn, then the corresponding button on the original remote. The URC 801 copies the infrared signal and stores the command.
What is the purpose of the MACRO function?
The MACRO function allows you to record a sequence of multiple buttons and play it back with a single press. For example, you can program a MACRO to turn on the TV, change the HDMI input, and turn on the amplifier in one action.
How do I turn off all my devices at once?
The ALL-OFF button simultaneously sends a shutdown signal to all devices you have programmed on the URC 801. It only takes one press to put everything on standby.
What is the FLEX mode on the URC 801?
The FLEX mode allows you to freely assign the AUX button to any type of device, even if the category is not listed by default. It's useful for non-standard devices like a projector or a soundbar.
What batteries are needed for the SILVERCREST URC 801?

The remote no longer controls my device, what should I do?
First, check the condition of the batteries and replace them if necessary. Ensure that the correct device mode is selected (LED or LCD display). If the code has been lost, reprogram the device via the code list or learning function. Direct the remote directly towards the IR sensor of the target device.
How do I reset the SILVERCREST URC 801 to factory settings?
The reset procedure deletes all learned codes and recorded macros. Consult the manual provided with the device (section Reset) for the exact sequence of keys, which varies depending on the firmware version.
Does the LCD screen display the time?

Learning Function

For this you must have the original remote control unit of the device you want to program, and this remote control unit must be working properly.

The learning function lets you have the original remote control unit teach the different button functions to your new universal remote control.

This lets you add or edit any specific buttons that do not work properly when using a preset device code or control a device whose device code is not available.

Learning a Key Code Signal

Place the original remote control unit of the device with its transmitter side (front) facing towards the universal remote control (see figure). The distance should be between 1 and 2 inches (2.5cm to 5cm).

The PC source commands are preset and cannot be edited.

Microsoft Media Center is included in the operating systems Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium and Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate.

To quit PC mode, press any other source device selection button (2).

Consistent Volume Control

The (VPT - Volume Punch Through) volume control guarantees that the volume control is always made for the TV set or Hifi equipment regardless of the sound source that you have selected. Therefore, you will not have to press the TV or AUDIO source buttons before you set the volume with the VOL+ (7), VOL- (8) or MUTE (5) buttons.

Example:

The remote control is programmed for your TV set and your DVD player. You play a DVD and the remote control is set to the DVD (2) source. This allows you to control the DVD playback using the remote control. But you can control the TV set volume without having to press the TV source selection button first.

The PC mode does not support consistent volume control.

Switching VPT between TV and AUDIO

VPT is set to TV as default. For any source that you select, the volume control will always control the TV set. But if you're using a home cinema and you output the sound via Hifi equipment, you can switch the volume control to the Hifi equipment. Proceed as follows:

  • Press the AUDIO source selection button (2).
  • Press and hold the SET button (23) for at least 3 seconds. The display shows [CODE SETUP]. Then release the SET button (23).
    Press (9). The display shows [BASIC VPT].
  • Press the OK button (27). The message [SUCCEED] will appear for a few seconds on the display.
  • Quit the process by pressing the EXIT button (28).

VPT is now set to the device that is controlled via the AUDIO source selection button.

If you want to use the TV for sound output again, repeat the above steps by using the TV source selection button (2) in the first step.

Programming VPT Manually

If you want to control the volume of a specific device individually (not using VPT), this must be programmed manually.

Example:

You are using the remote control for a satellite receiver too. For all devices, VPT controls the volume via the TV set, but the sat receiver has its own volume control that you want to use.

For manual programming, proceed as follows:

  • Press and hold the SET button (23) for at least 3 seconds. The display shows [CODE SETUP]. Then release the SET button (23).
  • Press (9) twice. The display shows [VPT SETUP].
  • Press the OK button (27). The display shows [TO DEV].
  • Press the source device selection button (2) of the device for which you want to override the volume control (e.g. SAT). The display shows [FROM DEV].
  • Press the source device selection button (2) of the device that you want to use for volume control (in this example also SAT). The message [SUCCEED] will appear for a few seconds and the device returns to the [VPT SETUP] level.
  • Quit the process by pressing the EXIT button (28).

Please note that using VPT overrides any manually-learned key functions.

  • Press the OK button (27). The message [SUCCEED] will appear for a few seconds on the display. The device will switch to the enter mode for the next favourite, for example [FAV-CH02].
  • Continue programming the next favourite or quit the process by pressing the EXIT button (28) three times.
