4.2 IR Learning/Programming Procedure

This remote control supports IR learning, allowing you to copy functions from your original TV remote control to specific buttons on this replacement remote (STB RC). This enables control of both your Set-Top Box and TV with a single remote.

  1. Place the infrared LEDs of both the STB RC (this replacement remote) and your TV RC (original TV remote) opposite each other. Ensure a maximum distance of 5 cm between them. The IR diode of the original TV RC must face the STB RC's IR window.
  2. On the STB RC, press the 'Red' and 'Blue' buttons of 'Additional functions' simultaneously and hold them for 3 seconds. Access to the setup mode is confirmed when the visual LEDs under the 'TV Power' button (Green) and 'STB Power' button (Red) turn ON and remain ON.
  3. On the STB RC, press the button where you wish to store the copied data. The LED under the 'STB Power' button will blink once and then remain ON, indicating the selected button.
  4. On the TV RC, press and hold the button whose function you want to copy. Hold this button until the LED under the 'TV Power' button (Green) on the STB RC blinks twice. This indicates a successful operation. Both visual LEDs will remain ON.
  5. The STB RC will remain in copying setup mode, allowing you to program other buttons by repeating steps 3 and 4.
  6. To exit the copying process, press the 'OK' button on the STB RC. Both LEDs will double blink and then turn OFF.

4.3 Reset to Factory Settings

To reset the remote control to its factory default settings, follow these steps:

  1. Ensure the remote control is in idle mode (no IR transmission or visual activity).
  2. Press the 'SETUP' and 'OK' buttons simultaneously and hold them for approximately 2 seconds.
  3. Continue holding until the visual LEDs under the 'TV Power' button (Green) and 'STB Power' button (Red) turn ON.
  4. Release both buttons. The LEDs will turn OFF within 1 second, indicating that the reset is complete.
  5. After a few seconds, the remote control will exit setup mode and return to idle mode.
