5. Programming Your Remote Control

The HEITECH universal remote offers multiple methods to program it for your devices. You can control up to four devices (TV, SAT, DVD, AV) using this remote.

5.1 Method 1: Direct Code Entry

This method uses specific codes for your device's brand, found in the included code database manual.

1. Turn on the device you wish to control (e.g., TV).
2. Press and hold the desired device selection button (e.g., TV) for approximately 3 seconds until the LED indicator lights up.
3. Enter the 3-digit code for your device's brand from the code list. The LED will flash once for each digit entered.
4. If the code is valid, the LED will turn off. Test the remote by pressing the Power button. If the device turns off, the programming was successful.
5. If the device does not respond, try the next code listed for your brand.

5.2 Method 2: Automatic Code Search

If you cannot find a suitable code or prefer an automated process, use the automatic search function.

1. Turn on the device you wish to control.
2. Press and hold the desired device selection button (e.g., TV) for approximately 3 seconds until the LED indicator lights up.
3. Press the Power button once. The LED will start flashing continuously, indicating the remote is searching for a code.
4. Point the remote at your device and wait. The remote will send power signals every few seconds.
5. As soon as your device turns off, immediately press any button (e.g., OK) to save the code. The LED will turn off.
6. Test the remote's functions. If not all functions work, repeat the process to find a more compatible code.

5.3 Method 3: Learning Function

The learning function allows you to copy specific commands from your original remote control to the HEITECH universal remote.

1. Ensure both the HEITECH remote and your original remote have fresh batteries.
2. Place both remotes on a flat surface, facing each other with their IR emitters aligned, about 2-5 cm apart.
3. Press and hold the SHIFT button on the HEITECH remote for 3 seconds until the LED lights up.
4. Press the device selection button (e.g., TV) on the HEITECH remote that you want to program. The LED will flash slowly.
5. Press the button on the HEITECH remote that you want to teach a function (e.g., MENU). The LED will now flash quickly.
6. Press and hold the corresponding button on your original remote (e.g., original MENU button).
7. The LED on the HEITECH remote will flash three times and then stay lit if the learning was successful.
8. Repeat steps 5-7 for any other buttons you wish to program.
