5. TV Control Setup: Brand Search

You can program some functions of the remote to operate your TV by teaching it your TV's 'brand code'. The remote is programmed with brand code 1150 (Samsung) by default.

1. Set to IR Mode: Press and hold the Menu and 1 buttons simultaneously for at least three seconds. The STB POWER LED will flash twice, indicating the remote has switched to IR mode.
2. Find Brand Code: Note your TV brand and find the corresponding 4-digit brand code on the Amino support site (www.aminocom.com/support).
3. Turn on TV: Ensure your TV is turned on. The STB does not need to be on for this feature.
4. Initiate Code Entry: Press and hold the 1 and 3 buttons simultaneously for at least three seconds. The TV/AUX POWER LED will flash twice and remain on.
5. Enter Brand Code: Enter the 4-digit brand code for your TV. The TV/AUX POWER LED will flash after each digit entry.
6. Confirmation: If successful, the TV/AUX POWER LED will flash once and remain on. If unsuccessful, it will flash rapidly, and the remote will revert to normal operation without storing a code.
7. Test Functionality: Press and hold either the TV/AUX POWER or MUTE button. Release the button when the TV turns off or mutes.
8. Exit Mode: Press the STB POWER button to exit brand search mode.

If you change your TV brand, repeat this procedure with the new TV's brand code.

6. TV Control Setup: Auto Search (Search All Brands)

If the Brand Search method does not find your TV's code, you can use Auto Search. This process may take several minutes.

1. Turn on TV: Ensure your TV is turned on.
2. Set to IR Mode: Press and hold the Menu and 1 buttons simultaneously for at least three seconds. The STB POWER LED will flash twice.
3. Initiate Auto Search: Press and hold the 1 and 3 buttons simultaneously for at least three seconds until the TV/AUX POWER LED flashes twice and remains on. Release both buttons.
4. Enter Auto Search Code: Enter the 4-digit code 9999. The STB POWER LED will flash after each digit entry.
5. Confirmation: If successful, the TV/AUX POWER LED will flash once and remain on. If unsuccessful, the remote will give one long flash and exit brand search.
6. Test Functionality: Press and hold either the TV/AUX POWER or MUTE button. Release the button when the TV turns off or mutes.
7. Exit Mode: Press the STB POWER button to exit brand search mode.

If Auto Search cannot set up your TV, the remote may not be compatible with that TV.
