4. Setup and Programming

To control your devices, the Mitzu MRC-UNI6 remote must be programmed. There are typically two methods: Direct Code Entry and Auto Search.

4.1. Direct Code Entry (Recommended for known brands)

This method uses a specific code for your device's brand. A list of common brand codes is usually provided with the remote (if not, please refer to the manufacturer's website).

  1. Turn on the device you wish to control (e.g., your TV).
  2. Press and hold the SET button on the remote until the indicator light illuminates.
  3. Press the device button you want to program (e.g., TV, DVD, AUX). The indicator light will flash.
  4. Enter the 3-digit code for your device's brand using the number buttons. The indicator light should turn off.
  5. Point the remote at your device and test its functions (e.g., Power, Volume). If the device responds, the programming is successful.
  6. If the device does not respond, try the next code listed for your brand, or proceed to the Auto Search method.

4.2. Auto Search Method

If you cannot find a code for your device or the direct code entry fails, use the auto search method.

  1. Turn on the device you wish to control.
  2. Press and hold the SET button until the indicator light illuminates.
  3. Press the device button you want to program (e.g., TV). The indicator light will flash.
  4. Press the POWER button once. The indicator light will start flashing continuously, indicating it is searching for a code.
  5. Point the remote at your device. As soon as the device turns off, immediately press the SET button to save the code. The indicator light will turn off.
  6. Test the remote's functions. If the device does not respond correctly, repeat the process.
