Programming Methods

The One For All OARUSB04G offers several methods for programming your devices:

1. Using the SimpleSet Website:

   • Select the devices you wish to control (TV, STB, DVD, Audio) and their respective brands on the website.
   • Download the new settings.bin file generated by the website. It is recommended to save it to your computer first, then copy it to the remote's drive, overwriting the existing file.

   • Ensure you have the original, functioning remote for the device you want to program.

   • Select the device key (TV, STB, DVD, Audio) on the One For All remote that corresponds to the device you are programming.
   • Press the key on the One For All remote that you wish to program. Do not hold it down for more than 3 seconds, as this will clear its programming.
   • Point the original remote and the One For All remote at each other (ends facing) and press the corresponding button on the original remote. The device button on the One For All remote will blink twice to confirm successful learning.
   • Repeat for other keys if needed.

   • Enter the 4-digit code using the number pad. The device key will blink twice.
   • Aim the remote at your device and press the POWER key. If the device turns off, the code is correct. If not, repeat steps 3-6 with the next code for your brand.
4. Auto Search:
