2. Programming the Remote (Brand Express Method)
This remote control uses a "Brand Express" method for quick setup with most major TV brands.
- Turn on your TV set manually. Ensure the TV is powered on and not in standby mode.
- Press and hold the "Brand" key (e.g., SHARP, SONY, SAMSUNG, LG, TCL, etc.) corresponding to your TV's brand for approximately 6 seconds. The remote will begin an automatic search for the correct code.
- Observe your TV screen. When the "VOL+" mark appears on your TV screen, immediately release the "Brand" button.
- Test the remote. Check if the remote functions correctly (e.g., try changing the volume or channel).
- If the remote works, the setting is complete. If it does not work, repeat steps 2-4.
