2. Initial Setup (Pre-programmed Functionality)

This remote control is pre-programmed for immediate use with most Panasonic, Philips, LG, Samsung, and Sony TV models. No complex setup is required for basic functions. Simply insert the batteries, point the remote at your TV, and test the basic functions like Power, Volume, and Channel change.

• Ensure your TV is powered on.
• Point the remote control directly at your TV's infrared receiver.
• Press the Power button. If the TV turns off, the remote is compatible.
• Test Volume Up/Down and Channel Up/Down buttons.

If the remote does not work immediately, or if some functions are not responding, proceed to the "Learning Function" section.

3. Learning Function Setup

The learning function allows you to copy specific commands from your original TV remote control to the T'nB Universal Remote. This is useful for functions not covered by the pre-programmed codes or for personalizing your remote.

Important: You must have your original TV remote control for this process.

1. Place the T'nB Universal Remote and your original remote control on a flat surface, facing each other, with their infrared emitters aligned and about 1-3 cm apart.
2. On the T'nB remote, press and hold the "SET" button (or a similar designated learning button, refer to the remote's specific button layout if "SET" is not present) for approximately 3 seconds until the indicator light (usually red) starts blinking slowly. This indicates learning mode.
3. Press the button on the T'nB remote that you wish to program (e.g., "INPUT"). The indicator light will blink rapidly, waiting for a signal.
4. On your original remote, press and hold the corresponding button (e.g., the original "INPUT" button) until the indicator light on the T'nB remote blinks three times and then stays solid, indicating successful learning.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for any other buttons you wish to program.
6. To exit learning mode, press the "SET" button again, or wait for 10 seconds for the remote to automatically exit. The indicator light will turn off.

Test the newly programmed buttons to ensure they function correctly.
