In our life, more and more electronic devices appear, without which we no longer imagine life. One of them is the TV remote control. Because of their small size, they are often lost, and because of fragility - they break (as a result of falling or getting water). And in order that in the event of loss or breakdown of the original remote control (remote control) for your TV not to look just like that, you can take a universal, suitable for most existing models.
From this article you will learn how to choose and how to use the universal remote control for TVs (TV).
The principle of the universal TV remote control
This panel operates according to the principle of capturing the signal of the device that needs to be controlled, recognizing it and using the built-in database of certain codes, gaining access to the control of a particular TV model.
Depending on how the universal remote control is set up for the TV, they are:
- programmable;
- trained.
And the design is divided into:
- similar to conventional consoles;
- universal remote keychain - multi-brand model (suitable for 90% of TV brands).
Such consoles differ not only in design, but also in functionality, since only small functions can be performed on a small remote control unit: on / off, volume control, "silent" and AV modes, menu setting, channel switching, digits and timer .
How to set up a universal TV remote?
If you bought a trained remote that already has built-in control programs, then you only need to enter the model of your TV on it and you can use it.
But, if you took a programmable one, then you need to act like this:
- Turn on the TV
- Press the remote control and hold down the SETUP or Set button (which means setting) until the red LED indicator lights up constantly.
- Point the remote control at the TV screen and press the Vol + button (ie, increase the volume). Correctly, when each press of the button the indicator reacts (blinks). With each press, the remote sends a signal to the TV to perform the task using a different code.
- When the remote will find the code of your TV, the volume bar will appear on the screen. Press the SETUP (SET) button to memorize.
After that, you need to check whether the universal remote can control your TV, if not, then the setting must be repeated.
There is another way to configure a universal TV remote, but this will require an original remote (which is sometimes problematic).
The order of adjustment actions is as follows:
- Press on the universal remote control buttons in a certain combination.
- At the same time, you press the same buttons on the original remote control.
- The station wagon will remember the signal and will work as well.
It is very easy to set up a multi-brand remote control for TVs. To program it, you just need to point the remote control at
The most important criterion for choosing a universal remote is the availability of codes for the model of your TV.
Usually they say that having bought a TV (TV) remote is universal, all problems are solved and it can replace several remotes at once. But very often universal programmable remotes for TVs eventually "forget" and cease to work. This usually happens with cheap Chinese-made consoles. In this case, you need to re-program.
