2. Initial Setup (Pre-programmed Brands)
For LG, Samsung, Sony, Panasonic, and Philips TVs, the remote is often ready to use immediately after battery installation. Point the remote at your TV and test basic functions like Power, Volume, and Channel. If it works, no further setup is required.
3. Self-Learning Function (for other brands or specific functions)
The self-learning function allows the Superior Ready 5 to learn commands directly from your original TV remote control. This is useful for brands not pre-programmed or for specific functions not covered by the default settings.
- Place the Superior Ready 5 remote and your original TV remote on a flat surface, facing each other, with their infrared emitters aligned at a distance of approximately 1-3 cm.
- Press and hold the ⏻ button on the Superior Ready 5 remote for approximately 5 seconds until the LED indicator lights up continuously.
- Press the button on the Superior Ready 5 remote that you wish to program (e.g., Volume Up). The LED will flash slowly.
- Press and hold the corresponding button on your original TV remote (e.g., Volume Up) until the LED on the Superior Ready 5 remote flashes rapidly three times and then stays on. This indicates successful learning.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all other buttons you wish to program.
- To exit learning mode, press the ⏻ button again on the Superior Ready 5 remote. The LED will turn off.
Tip: Ensure both remotes have fresh batteries for optimal learning performance. If a command is not learned correctly, repeat the process for that specific button.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Remote does not work. | Batteries are dead or incorrectly inserted. | Replace batteries with new AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity. |
| Remote only controls some functions. | Not all functions were learned or pre-programmed. | Use the self-learning function to program missing commands from your original remote. |
| TV does not respond to remote. | Remote is not pointed directly at the TV's IR receiver; distance too far. | Ensure direct line of sight and reduce distance to the TV (max 10 meters). |
| Self-learning fails. | Original remote batteries are low; remotes not aligned correctly; ambient light interference. | Ensure fresh batteries in both remotes, align IR emitters closely, and try in a dimly lit room. Repeat the learning process carefully. |
