How to configure the universal remote?

Perhaps now we can not find a single apartment or office, wherever modern household appliances are used. If we are talking about television and radio equipment, then remote control panels are always attached to it. And such devices, which make our life interesting, comfortable and varied constantly becomes more and more.

In order not to confuse each time, which console, from which device can be purchased one, but capable of turning on and off absolutely all appliances in your home. Such technical devices have long been used, but many people are frightened by the fact that they do not know how to set up a universal remote control.

The difference between a conventional remote control and a universal one is that inside the small plastic box there is a certain microcircuit that allows to expand the memory of this device and to write commands to not one receiver but several to one. Let's see how this can be done.

Where to begin?

If you do not know how to set up a universal remote control for TV , DVD and other home gadgets, first of all, you should look in the box from the purchased remote. Most often there is a certain instruction that will help you to understand the setting of this particular console.

On this sheet of paper, which is an instruction, it is possible to find codes by means of which even a person who does not know how to set up a universal remote for a TV, music center or air conditioner can do it himself.

Codes are four-digit combinations of numbers that correspond to a certain brand of home appliances. For each of them there are several codes and in case of failure with the first set of digits, you can try the following.

Active buttons

To configure the universal remote, we need only a few buttons from the set located on the work surface. These buttons are TV, SET (or DVB) and POWER. In addition, an important indicator when setting up the console will be a warning light, which is present on each universal remote and is not on the usual one.

Getting Started

There are several ways to configure your console and if you fail with the first one, you should go to the second one and so on. The main thing is not to hurry and understand the order of actions:

  1. In order to configure the console manually without codes, you need to turn on, for example, a TV on one of the channels. Then, by simultaneously pressing the two TV and SET keys, we make sure that the POWER lamp lights up. Now you need the maximum speed and concentration of attention - very often, about once per second you should press the POWER button until the TV reacts to this pressing. Most often, the volume level increases. To complete the setup, you must press either TV or SET.
  2. Another method allows you to automatically configure the universal remote. At the same time, press SET and TV, and see if the indicator light is on. If everything is correct, you can start entering a four-digit code. If the indicator is extinguished, then the setting was successful. If it continues to burn, the same should be repeated with the following combinations of numbers.
  3. Quite simple and automatic search. Turn on the TV on one of the channels. After that, again press the familiar two buttons - TV and SET and the indicator light will begin to flash. After that, you should point the remote control at the TV. If a volume bar appears on the screen, then, without a hitch, you should press the MUTE button or any other, depending on the remote. If the light does not blink, the remote control is set to this unit.

The same algorithm of action should be carried out with all other household appliances, which can be controlled with a multifunction remote.
