Setup: Programming Your Remote Control

The HUAYU RM-L1098+X offers several methods to program it for your television. Choose the method that best suits your needs.

A. Manually Searching for the Code

  1. Turn on your TV and ensure it is in a normal playback state. Aim the remote control towards the TV.

  3. Press the "VOLUME+" button once. The indicator lamp will flash once. Observe your TV to see if the volume symbol appears. If it does not, repeat this step.
  4. Once the volume symbol appears on your TV, test other function buttons (excluding SET, POWER, and VOLUME) such as "MUTE". If these buttons do not work correctly, repeat steps 2 and 3 until you find a suitable code that allows all functions to operate.

B. Automatically Searching for the Code

  3. When the volume symbol appears on your TV, immediately release the "SET" button. The setup is now complete.
  4. Test other function buttons (excluding SET, POWER, and VOLUME) such as "MUTE". If they do not work correctly, repeat steps 2 and 3 until you find a suitable code.

C. Point-to-Point Brand Searching

  1. Turn on your TV and ensure it is in a normal playback state. Aim the remote control towards the TV.
  2. Identify your TV's brand on the remote control. For example, if your TV is SKYWORTH, locate the "SKYWORTH" label, which corresponds to the "0" button.
  3. Press and hold the corresponding brand button (e.g., "0" for SKYWORTH) for three seconds. The indicator lamp will flash.
