ROC 4206 - THOMSON - Free user manual and instructions

USER MANUAL ROC 4206 THOMSON

GB The ROC 4206 is a universal remote control (4 in 1). It can replace 4 remote controls thanks to its 4 mode keys TV, DVD/VCR... It is compatible with the majority of television sets, video cassette recorders, DVD players, satellite and cable receivers as well as terrestrial digital television (DVBT), amplifiers and other audio equipment provided they are controlled by infra red signals. This remote control has been factory programmed to allow you to use it immediately with the majority of Thomson Group devices.We therefore advise you to try it before beginning to program it. If programming is necessary, follow one of the methods A, B, C, D or E that are given in this manual. First of all, please activate the remote control by removing the 2 protective tabs from the 2 CR 2032 batteries. Keep these instructions and the separate list of codes in a safe place so that you can later reprogram your remote control. 3.

3 - Programming the remote control

Method A – Fast programming with 1-digit subcode Before you start programming, you must find the subcode of the set to be controlled. Refer to the list provided with these instructions, page I of the codes. 1 Switch on the set you want to control. 2. Hold down the SETUP key until the red indicator lamp remains lit (the indicator light remains on for a few seconds to give you the time to proceed with the following steps. The indicator lamp flashes when this time is almost up, and then goes off). 3. Press the key that corresponds to the type of equipment you want to control: TV, DVD/VCR… 4. While the indicator is lit, type in the subcode (example: 1 for Thomson). 5. Direct the remote control towards the set and try to switch it off by pressing the B key. 6. If the set you want to control switches off, press c to memorise the subcode. 7. If the product doesn’t turn off, press the B key repeatedly until the set switches off. Wait approximately one second between key presses to give the red indicator lamp enough time to go off and light up again. This will allow you to see whether the product responds or not. 8. Immediately upon the switching-off of the set to be controlled, press c to store the subcode. Note: If you want to assign another type of product than those mentioned on the remote control (with the exception of the TV button which can only be used to control a television set), begin by entering the code that corresponds to the product you want to programme (a 4-digit code that you will find in the code booklet – see method B). Example: if you want to control a satellite receiver with the DVD/VCR key, begin by entering a satellite code (any satellite, for example: 0603 for a Thomson satellite receiver) then begin the procedure. Check of the programming: In principle, your set is ready for receiving the remote control commands. Check your remote control for proper functioning by performing the test described on page 3.

*** The coloured buttons can be used to select categories when teletext is activated, and specific functions depending on the make.

2 - Testing the remote control before programming

Point the remote control at the device you wish to control and try to turn it off using the B key.

If the device does not turn off, you must program the remote control using one of the methods A, B, C or D as described below.

Turn on the device that you wish to control.

Press the key corresponding to the type of device to control: TV, DVD/VCR…

If you want to assign another type of product than those mentioned on the remote control, begin by entering a code that corresponds to the product you want to programme (a 4-digit code that you will find in the code booklet – see method B). Example: if you want to control a satellite receiver with the DVD/VCR key, begin by entering a satellite code (any satellite, for example: 0603 for a Thomson satellite receiver) then begin the procedure. Check of the programming: In principle, your set is ready for receiving the remote control commands.Check your remote control for proper functioning by performing the test described on page 3.

Method B – 4-digit codes Programming

Before you start programming, you must find the code of the set to be controlled. Refer to the list provided with these instructions, page II of the codes. 1. Switch on the set you want to control. 2. Hold down the SETUP until the red indicator lamp remains lit (the indicator light remains on for a few seconds to give you the time to proceed with the following steps. The indicator lamp flashes when this time is almost up, and then goes off). 3. Press the key that corresponds to the type of equipment you want to control: TV, DVD/VCR… While the indicator is lit, enter the first digit of the 4-digit code proposed for the set to be controlled (example: 0036 for Thomson). The red indicator then goes off if the code is correct or flashes, if the code is not on the list. 5. Direct the remote control towards the set and try to switch it off by pressing the B key. 6. Should the set not switch off, repeat step 2. Then type in the next 4-digit code. Try to switch off the set by pressing B key once. Repeat this procedure by trying out each of the 4-digit codes. Check of the programming: In principle, your set is ready for receiving the remote control commands.Check your remote control for proper functioning by performing the test described on page 3. 4.

With this method, the remote control scrolls through the full code list by sending an IR signal to the set to be controlled remotely. Proceed as follows:

1. Check that your equipment is on. If not, switch it on manually. 2. Hold down the SETUP until the red indicator lamp remains lit (the indicator light remains on for a few seconds to give you the time to proceed with the following steps. The indicator lamp flashes when this time is almost up, and then goes off). 3. Release the SETUP key. 4. Press the key corresponding to the type of equipment (for example TV). 5. Press the PROG+ key once. After a few seconds the remote control begins to list all the codes included in the library (around 1 code per second). Press PROG+ a second time to reduce the speed of the test (1 code every 3 seconds). As soon as the device changes channel you must immediately press c to record the code and stop the listing. If you have gone past the code, you can go back to the previous code by pressing PROG- as many times as necessary (you can go forward by pressing B or PROG+. As soon as the device reacts again, press c to record the code. Note: If you want to assign another type of product than those mentioned on the remote control, begin by entering a code that corresponds to the product you want to programme (a 4-digit code that you will find in the code booklet – see method B). Example: if you want to control a satellite receiver with the DVD/VCR key, begin by entering a satellite code (any satellite, for example: 0603 for a Thomson satellite receiver) then begin the procedure.

Should none of the codes work, you still have the possibility of retrieving the appropriate code without having to perform any input.

1. Switch on the set you want to control. 2. Hold down the SETUP until the red indicator lamp remains lit (the indicator light remains on for a few seconds to give you the time to proceed with the following steps. The indicator lamp flashes when this time is almost up, and then goes off). 3. Press the key that corresponds to the type of

Method E – Programming for control of a COMBO

(combined TV-VCR, TV/DVD, DVD/VCR, ... set) Depending on the COMBO group (TV/VCR, DVD/VCR, etc.) and the make, you will be required to enter a single code for both devices in the COMBO, or to enter two codes, one code per device. Consult the separate list to discover this. Before you start programming, you must find the subcode or code of the subset to be controlled (television or video recorder).

GB Refer to the list supplied with this user manual (see page subcodes or codes).

1. Switch on the COMBO you want to control. 2. Hold down the SETUP until the red indicator lamp remains lit (the indicator light remains on for a few seconds to give you the time to proceed with the following steps. The indicator lamp flashes when this time is almost up, and then goes off). 3. Press the TV key, then follow one of the programming methods (A, B, C or D) described earlier. 4. If a second code programming is required, then repeat steps 2 and 3 above.

Adjustment of ALL volume controls under a specific mode You can allocate the volume control to one of the modes of the remote control on condition that the volume control exists on the corresponding device (e.g. control of TV sound in VCR/TV mode). 1. Hold down the SETUP key until the red indicator lamp remains lit. 2. Release the SETUP key. 3. Press the c key. The red indicator lamp flashes once. 4. Press once on the mode key (TV, DVD/VCR…) corresponding to the device whose volume will always be controlled by the VOL and c keys. 5. Press the c key once.
