2. Programming the Remote (Brand Express Method)

This remote control uses a "Brand Express" method for quick setup with most major TV brands.

1. Turn on your TV set manually. Ensure the TV is powered on and not in standby mode.
2. 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.
3. Observe your TV screen. When the "VOL+" mark appears on your TV screen, immediately release the "Brand" button.
4. Test the remote. Check if the remote functions correctly (e.g., try changing the volume or channel).
5. If the remote works, the setting is complete. If it does not work, repeat steps 2-4.
