Please keep the instruction manual for consultation purposes or for possibly handing it over to third parties. Do not try to repair the remote control yourself. The universal remote control is equipped with a class 1M infrared diode. Do not look at the laser using optical instruments! Do not expose your remote control to dust, intense sunlight, humidity, high temperatures or mechanical shocks. Old and new batteries must never be combined. Do not use any corrosive or aggressive cleansing agents. Scope of application This universal remote control is designed to control 8 devices such as: TV TV with teletext VCR Video recorder DVD DVD player CD CD player ASAT Analogous satellite receiver DSAT Digital satellite receiver CBL Pay TV decoder AUX for additional devices (TV, VCR, SAT, CD, DVD,...) Please note: The designations on the MODE keys like "TV", "VCR" etc. have the only purpose to facilitate their identification. You can of course assign other types of device to these keys. 1 Manual URC 4689 UK Apr05.fm Seite 2 Montag, 11. April 2005 12:00 12 Overview Inserting the batteries Insert 2 LR03/AAA or R03/AAA batteries; we recommend you to use of alkaline batteries. 1. Open the cover on the back of the remote control. 2. Check the +/­ polarity on the batteries and inside the compartment. 3. Insert the batteries. 4. Close the cover. When exchanging the batteries, it may be necessary to reprogram the unit. Hence it is advisable to record the codes needed for your devices. Used batteries do not qualify as household waste. The batteries must be disposed of at a special collection point for used batteries. 2 Manual URC 4689 UK Apr05.fm Seite 3 Montag, 11. April 2005 12:00 12 Programming the device codes The codes of the respective devices can be found in the code list attached to these operating instructions. Proceed as follows: 1. Switch on manually the device you wish to control (TV, VCR etc ...). 2. Keep the SET key pressed for approx. 3 seconds until the LED indicator lights continuously. 3. Release the SET key. 4. Briefly press the desired mode key (TV, VCR, DVD, SAT, DSAT, CD, CBL, AUX). 5. Enter the 3-digit code from the code table; the LED turns off each time you press a key. 6. If you entered is code correctly, the LED turns off after the last digit has been entered. If an invalid code is entered, the LED will flash for three seconds before going out. 7. The code entry is finished. Should the device not respond as you expect it to do, you can try to repeat the programming using another code. Please try all the codes indicated for your brand. Select the code that makes your device respond correctly to any command available on your remote control! If you failed this way, then have another try with the search method described in the chapter "Automatic code search". Code search (manual search) To run a manual code search, proceed as follows: 1. Switch on manually the device you wish to control (TV, VCR etc ...). 2. Keep the SET key pressed for approx. 3 seconds until the LED indicator lights continuously. 3. Release the SET key. 4. Briefly press the desired mode key (TV, VCR, DVD, SAT, DSAT, CD, CBL, AUX). 5. Press several times in succession (up to 350 times) the "POWER" or "PROG" (channel upwards) or "PLAY" (only for a VCR) key until the device to be controlled has been switched off or responds. 6. Briefly press the OK key for storing the code. In view of the extensive number of different code numbers, up to 350 different codes have already been pre-programmed per device type. It is possible that only the most common main functions will be available in individual cases. In case of some special device models, the procedure described may fail to be successful. ­ The Code search starts with the 3-digit number stored at the moment. Code search (automatic search) An automatic search allows you to find even codes of brands that are not stated in the code list. Proceed as follows: 1. Switch on manually the device you wish to control (TV, VCR etc ...). 2. KKeep the SET key pressed for approx. 3 seconds until the LED indicator lights continuously. 3. Release the SET key. 4. Briefly press the desired mode key TV, VCR, DVD, CD, SAT, AUX. 5. Point the remote control at the device you wish to control and press the CHAN+ key once briefly. If the device does not possess a channel function, then press the PLAY or POWER key instead of CHAN+. The remote control starts the search and sends a code every second. Each time a code is sent, the LED will light up. 3 Manual URC 4689 UK Apr05.fm Seite 4 Montag, 11. April 2005 12:00 12 6. As soon as the device does respond to the remote control, press OK. 7. Should you fail to press the OK key in time, you can step by step return to the code to which the device has responded using the CHAN­ key. If you want the remote control only to send a new code every 3 seconds instead of every second, proceed as follows: Press and release CHAN+ (or PLAY or POWER) twice (see step 5). This will give you more time, but the procedure will also take longer. Code search by brand This function provides you with the possibility of searching by brands. You will find the brands in the code table under "Search code under brand name". Proceed as follows: 1. Switch on manually the device you wish to control (TV, VCR etc ...). 2. Keep the SET key pressed for approx. 3 seconds until the LED indicator lights continuously. 3. Release the SET key. 4. Briefly press the desired MODE key (TV, VCR, DVD, SAT, DSAT, CD, CBL, AUX). 5. Enter the applicable one-digit code from brand code table ,,Search code under brand name". If you enter the digit ,,0", all brands will be searched. 6. Press the CHAN+ key (or, in case of video cassette recorders, POWER or PLAY) until the device responds correctly. Proceed swiftly when doing this, otherwise the automatic code search will be started. 7. Store the code by pressing the "OK" key. If all codes have been searched, the LED will blink for about 3 seconds. Code identification The code identification allows you to identify codes that you have already entered and that are memorised in the remote control. Proceed as follows: 1. Keep the SET key pressed for approx. 3 seconds until the LED indicator lights continuously. 2. Release the SET key. 3. Briefly press the desired mode key (TV, VCR, DVD, SAT, DSAT, CD, CBL, AUX). The LED blinks. 4. Briefly press the SET key. The LED blinks again. 5. To find the first digit, press each number key from 0 to 9 until the LED turns off. The number you pressed is the first digit of the code. To determine the second and the third number, repeat the procedure. 6. The LED will go out as soon as the key for the third number has been pressed. 7. The code identification has now been completed. Learning function The universal remote control provides you with the possibility of manually storing certain special functions which have not been stored, or even devices which have not been included in the code list. To do this, the original remote control of your device is required in any case. However, please note the following tips beforehand in order to avoid any mistakes. · Use new batteries for both remote controls. · You can assign one remote control to each of the MODE keys. 4 Manual URC 4689 UK Apr05.fm Seite 5 Montag, 11. April 2005 12:00 12 · Place the remote controls with the infrared diodes on a table so that they point each other at a distance between 15 and 50 mm. · You can store up to 150 commands. When the memory is full, the backlight illumination of the MODE key will blink for 3 seconds. · Each programming of a key can take approx. 3 seconds. · Always chech that the key you wish to teach a code is free or does not correspond to an important function. · The following keys cannot be programmed with functions: LEARN, SET, ALL OFF, P
