Question 1

How to use and program the Thomson ROC 4206 universal remote control?

Accepted Answer

The Thomson ROC 4206 is a 4-in-1 universal remote control that can control up to 4 different devices (TV, DVD/VCR, satellite or cable receiver, TNT). It is factory pre-programmed for Thomson devices, so it is recommended to try it first without reprogramming.

Installing the batteries: Remove the protective tab from the compartment of the 2 CR2032 batteries located on the back of the remote control. The batteries are already in place. If you change them later, you will need to reprogram the remote control. Do not mix new and used batteries, and do not use rechargeable batteries.

Testing before programming: Turn on the device to be controlled, press the button corresponding to its type (TV, DVD/VCR, SAT or DVBT) and try to turn it off with button B (POWER). If it works, your remote control is already configured. If not, proceed to programming.

Programming - Method A (quick, for Thomson): Hold down the SETUP button until the red light stays on. Press the button for the type of device (TV, DVD/VCR, SAT or DVBT). Enter the Thomson sub-code (usually 1). Point the remote control at the device and try to turn it off with button B. If the device turns off, press the c (MUTE) button to save the code. If not, press B again until the device turns off (leave about 1 second between each press), then confirm with c.

Programming - Method B (4-digit codes): Hold SETUP until the red light is steady. Press the type of device button. Enter the 4 digits of the brand code (e.g., 0036 for Thomson). The light goes off if the code is correct. Try to turn off the device with B. If it doesn't work, repeat with the next code from the list.

Programming - Method C (manual search): Hold SETUP until the red light is steady. Press the type of device button. Press B and let the light turn off/on (about 1 second) between each press. Repeat until the device changes channel or turns off. When it responds, press c immediately to save. This method tests up to 200 codes.

Programming - Method D (automatic search): Hold SETUP until the red light is steady, release, then press the type of device button. Press PROG+ once. The remote control automatically tests all codes (about 1 per second). Press PROG+ a second time to slow down (1 code every 3 seconds). As soon as the device responds, press c immediately to save. You can go back to the previous code with PROG-.

Verification after programming: For a TV or receiver, turn it on and test the channel change buttons (PROG+). For a DVD player, insert a disc and test PLAY. Try several buttons (volume, menu) to check functionality. If it is not satisfactory, restart programming with another method.

Question 2

What should I do if no code appears when programming the Thomson ROC 4206 remote control?

Accepted Answer

If no code appears or works when programming your Thomson ROC 4206 remote control, it means that the code for your device could not be entered directly. The remote control has two very effective automatic search methods to find the compatible code without having to enter it manually.

Method C: Manual code search (up to 200 attempts)

Turn on the device you want to control.
Press and hold the SETUP button until the red light stays on (a few seconds).
Press the button corresponding to the type of device: TV, DVD/VCR, SAT/CAB, or AMP.
Point the remote control at the device and press the B button (ON/OFF).
Observe the device: if it turns off, that is the correct code, immediately press the c button to save and finish. If it does not turn off, press B again and wait about 1 second between each attempt (the red light should turn off and then back on). Continue this way up to a maximum of 200 attempts until the device turns off.
As soon as the device turns off, press the c button to memorize the code.

Method D: Automatic search (faster)

Make sure your device is on.
Press and hold the SETUP button until the red light stays on (a few seconds).
Release the SETUP button.
Press the button corresponding to the type of device: TV, DVD/VCR, SAT/CAB, or AMP.
Press PROG+ once: the remote control will then automatically scroll through the complete list of codes (about 1 code per second). You can press PROG+ a second time to reduce the speed (1 code every 3 seconds).
As soon as the device changes or turns off, immediately press the c button to save the code and stop the search. If you react too slowly, use PROG- to go back to the previous code, or B to advance.

Method D is generally faster and simpler if you stay attentive to your device. Between the two methods, your ROC 4206 can test up to 200 different codes for Method C or go through the entire code database with Method D. If the device does not change state with either of these two methods, it is possible that your device is not compatible with the Thomson ROC 4206 remote control, or that it uses a technology other than infrared.

Question 3

What are the programming codes to use the THOMSON ROC 4206 remote control with a Toshiba television?

Accepted Answer

The THOMSON ROC 4206 universal remote control can control Toshiba televisions using specific programming codes. Your ROC 4206 has several programming methods to find the correct code compatible with your Toshiba model.

Programming codes for Toshiba:

001
002
003
004
005
006
007
008
009
010

Direct code programming procedure:

Turn on your Toshiba television
Press the TV button on the THOMSON ROC 4206 remote to select TV mode
Press and hold the SETUP button until the red light stays on continuously, then release
Enter one of the Toshiba codes listed above using the numeric keys (for example, press 0, then 0, then 1 for code 001)
Point the remote at your television and press the POWER (B) button once to test
If your television turns off, the code is correct. Immediately press the c (MUTE) button to store the code
If the television does not turn off, press POWER again and wait about a second before the next attempt

If none of the listed codes work, you can use the automatic search method of your ROC 4206, which tests up to 200 codes automatically. To do this, hold down SETUP until the red light stays on, press TV, then press PROG+. The remote will then start testing all the codes gradually. Press POWER as soon as your television responds, then press c to store the found code.

Remember that your ROC 4206 works with 2 AAA (LR03) batteries. Make sure the batteries are in good condition for reliable programming. Keep this procedure and the list of codes in a safe place to reprogram your remote in the future if necessary.
