4-Device Universal Remote Control

Introduction

The OARC04G Universal Remote Control by One For All is a perfect way to simplify home entertainment. It lets you control up to four of your home entertainment devices from a single, easy-to-use remote.

Take a minute to watch the mini-DVD that comes with the OARC04G—it gives you a tour of the remote's features. Then come back to this manual to set up the remote for your home entertainment system.

Installing the Batteries

This remote needs 2 new AA alkaline batteries (not included).

1. Remove the battery cover from the back of the remote.
2. Match the batteries to the + and - marks inside the battery case, then insert the batteries.
3. Press the battery cover back into place.

Battery Precautions:

• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.
• Always remove old, weak or worn-out batteries promptly and recycle or dispose of them in accordance with Local and National Regulations.

Care and Maintenance

• Keep the remote dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
• Use and store the remote only in normal temperature environments.
• Handle the remote gently and carefully. Don't drop it.
• Keep the remote away from dust and dirt.
• Wipe the remote with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.
• Modifying or tampering with the remote's internal components can cause malfunction and invalidate its warranty.

Setting up the Remote

There are two ways to program this remote to control your devices: by entering the code directly or by searching through the codes to find the one that controls your device. Try the Direct code setup first.

Direct Code Setup

1. Find the code for your device in the Code list. Codes are listed by device type and brand name. The most popular code is listed first. Make sure your device is switched on (not on standby).
2. Press the device key on this remote for the device you wish to set up.
3. Press and hold down the [set] key until the ? key blinks twice (the key blinks once, then twice).
4. Enter a five-digit code for your device's brand using the number keys. The ? key blinks twice.

   Note: If the key gives one long blink instead of two shorter blinks, you've entered an invalid code. Try entering a code again.

5. Now, aim this remote at your device and press ?. If your device switches off, the remote is ready to operate your device.
6. Turn your device back on and try all the remote's functions to ensure they are working properly. If the functions do not work properly, repeat steps 1–5 using another code listed for your brand.
7. If your device does not respond, follow steps 1 to 5 with each code listed for your brand. If none of the codes listed for your brand operate your device, or if your brand is not listed at all, try the search method described in the next section.

Important notes:

• If your device does not respond or is not functioning properly with one of the codes, try another code listed under your brand.
• If your device's original remote control does not have a POWER key, press ▶️ instead of ? when setting up your device.
• Remember to press the correct device key before operating your device. Only one device can be assigned to a device key. If your original remote operates more than one device, you need to set up each device separately.

The Search Method

If your device does not respond to this remote after you have tried all the codes listed for your brand, try searching for your code. The Search Method allows you to find the code for your device by scanning through all the codes contained in the remote's memory. The Search Method may also work if your brand is not listed at all.

1. Switch your device on (not on standby).
2. Press the device key on this remote for the device you wish to set up.
3. Press and hold down the [set] key until the ? key blinks twice (the key blinks once, then twice).
4. Press 9 9 1. The ? key blinks twice.
5. Press the number key corresponding to the device you want to program: 0 for cable, satellite, digital TV converter, or video accessories; 1 for a TV; 2 for a DVD player, VCR, or PVR.
6. Aim this remote at your device. Now press [channel up] over and over, until your device turns off (every time you press the [channel up] key the remote sends out a power signal from the next code contained in the memory). You may have to press this key many times (up to 150 times) so please be patient. If you skip past a code, you can go to the previous code(s) by pressing the [channel down] key. Remember to keep pointing the remote at your device while pressing this key.
7. As soon as your device turns off, press the [set] key to store the code.

Important note:

• If your device's original remote control does not have a POWER key, press ▶️ instead of ? in step 5.

The Keypad

The remote control has the following keys:

• TV, DVD/VCR, CBL/SAT (DTC), AUX: Device keys to select the device you want to control.

Code Retrieval

This feature allows you to find out which code is currently programmed for each device key, useful if you used the Search Method.

1. Press the device key once.
2. Press and hold down the [set] key until the ? key blinks twice.
3. Press 9 9 0. The ? key blinks twice.
4. For the first digit of your five-digit code, press 1 and count all the blinks. If there are no blinks, the digit is "0".
5. For the second digit, press 2 and count all the blinks. If there are no blinks, the digit is "0".
6. For the third digit, press 3 and count all the blinks. If there are no blinks, the digit is "0".
7. For the fourth digit, press 4 and count all the blinks. If there are no blinks, the digit is "0".
8. For the fifth digit, press 5 and count all the blinks. If there are no blinks, the digit is "0". You have now found your five-digit code.

Quick Code Reference

This section provides a table to record device types and their corresponding codes. Due to the extensive nature of the full code lists provided in the original document, they are not transcribed here in full. The original document contains comprehensive lists of codes for TVs, DTV Converters, Video Accessories, VCRs, and DVD players across numerous brands.

Note: The original document includes extensive tables listing device types and their corresponding codes for programming the remote. These lists cover a wide range of brands for TVs, DTV Converters, Video Accessories, VCRs, and DVD players.

Extra Features

Volume Punch Through

This feature allows you to use functions of one device (like TV volume) while operating another device (like a DVD player) without switching modes.

To punch through to TV volume while in AUX, DVD/VCR, or CBL/SAT (DTC) mode:

1. Press and hold down the [set] key until the ? key blinks twice.
2. Press 9 9 3.
3. Then press the TV key and the red light blinks twice.

To cancel "Volume Punch Through" for a single mode:

1. Press the device key for the mode you want to cancel volume punch through (e.g., DVD/VCR key).
2. Press and hold down the [set] key until the ? key blinks twice.
3. Press 9 9 3.
4. Then press the [volume down] key and the red light will blink four times.

The Volume keys will now control the [volume up]/[volume down] and [mute] functions on the original device (not on the TV). For example, if you canceled volume punch through for DVD/VCR mode, you will be able to control [volume up]/[volume down] or [mute] functions of your DVD player or VCR (provided it has volume control).

To cancel "Volume Punch Through" for all modes:

1. Press and hold down the [set] key until the ? key blinks twice.
2. Press 9 9 3.
3. Press the [volume up] key and the red light will blink four times.

Macros (Sequence of Commands)

Macros (Direct)

You can program the remote to issue a sequence of commands with a single button press. This is useful for regularly used command sequences, such as a master power off for all devices.

To set up a master power off macro on the yellow key:

1. Press and hold down the [set] key until the ? key blinks twice.
2. Press 9 9 5.
3. Press the key to which the Macro will be assigned (e.g., the yellow key).
4. Next press the commands you want to be part of the macro (e.g., TV, ?, AUX, ?, DVD/VCR, ?).
5. To store the Macro, press and hold down the [set] key until the ? key blinks twice.
6. Whenever you press the key assigned to this macro, the remote will automatically send the sequence of commands.

To erase the Macro from the Yellow key: Press [set]* [9] [9] [5] [Yellow key] [set]* (*Hold down [set] until the ? key blinks twice).

Important notes:

• Each MACRO can consist of a maximum of 15 key presses.
• The remote can hold up to 15 macros, depending on their complexity.
• Program a Macro on a spare key that is not used in any mode.
• Once programmed, a Macro works regardless of the current mode (TV, AUX, DVD/VCR).
• You cannot assign a Macro to the Record key (?) because it requires a double press for safety.
• Functions requiring a long press on the original remote may not work in a macro.
• Programming a Macro on a key may shift its original function (except [channel up]/[channel down] and [volume up]/[volume down] keys). Press [set] then the key to access the original function.
