Remote controls are firmly rooted in the life of ordinary people. Now it is not only a device for changing television broadcasts, but also a universal device for controlling any electronics. It's no secret that technology is penetrating life more and more. And today, complex microcircuits can be found not only in high-tech devices, such as a computer or television, but also ordinary household appliances are becoming more robotic.
On the shelves you can already find crock-pots that can be controlled from a regular smartphone, or refrigerators that remotely control the temperature. Due to the fact that the number of remotely controlled devices in the house is growing rapidly so as not to get confused in the variety of devices for remote control, each user needs one remote control that will allow you to control any equipment with just a few buttons. Thanks to modern technology, ordinary citizens already have the opportunity to purchase such a universal remote control device.
In addition to the need to control household appliances with a single click, this device has another important feature. It is able to replace a lost remote control from a simple TV. It is not always possible to find the original model, so an analogue of remote control can always come to the rescue.
If you compare the universal remote control and a conventional TV remote control, you can find that they are extremely similar in appearance. Often these two devices have the same shape and body made of plastic. A similar arrangement of buttons may suggest that the remote control is not designed to control anything but the TV, but it is not.
This misconception is associated not only with the appearance of the device, but also with the weak savvy of ordinary inhabitants in technical terms. Many find it incredibly difficult to connect and configure such a device with other devices. In fact, organizing the simultaneous control of absolutely any devices that support remote control from one remote control is very, very simple. Now we will look at how this is done using the example of installing and adjusting the coordination of a universal device and a simple TV.
How to set up a universal remote control on a TV manually.
First you need to make sure that this model is suitable for the remote control device. Often, users have trouble setting up precisely because of these kinds of problems. That is why, before purchasing a remote control, it makes sense to check the list of suitable models and get acquainted with the technical characteristics.
- The first step to configure the two devices is to check the functionality of both devices. The remote control should check for the presence of power elements.
- Then you need to press and hold the OK button (in various variations there may be a SET button).
- Next, enter the code that matches the model of the TV or other device.
- Then you need to use the TV button and make sure there is a connection.
If communication between both devices has not occurred, you should repeat the steps, after checking the correctness of the digital combination and the manufacturer. In various variations of the remote control, the algorithm may be slightly different. The connection method depends on the manufacturer of this model.
Here is another way to connect this device.
- Check the operability of the devices and the presence of the supply element.
- Enable device setup mode. Usually complete instructions are supplied with the remote control. On most models, this is done by pressing the SET and POWER buttons.
Reference! Many devices support setup from a smartphone or computer. There are also models of remotes with a built-in display, which facilitates operation.
- You need to select a special button for the TV. In other words, when you click on it, the remote control will switch to the TV control mode. Keep the selected button pressed until the indicator lights up.
- Enter device code. All devices have a unique sequence of characters that allows the remote control to access them. After that, the user has access to the remote control to the TV. Repeating this simple algorithm, you can configure the rest of the equipment that supports remote control.
How to set up a universal remote control on a TV automatically
There is an alternative way to configure and connect. Need to use auto search, To do this, take a few simple steps:
- Enable the necessary devices.
- Then press OK (or SET for various device options) and Power. The indicators should light up, which will let the user know that the remote control is selecting the code for the model of a particular TV.
- The next step is to press both buttons simultaneously and press POWER. If everything is done correctly, the volume level designation should appear on the screen.
- The final step is to press the SET button twice in a row. Setup is complete and you can begin to operate.
Attention! Not all devices support this auto search. If the setup failed, you may have a model without the ability to auto-search.
In the event that there are problems with automatic configuration, another method is presented below. Many models have the ability to quickly select.
To activate this method, you need to perform the following steps.
- First, turn on the devices and check their performance.
- Press and hold the TV button until the LED responsible for the power indication lights up.
- Then you need to hold the MUTE button until you connect to the TV. After connecting, you can release the button.
- After that you need to check the switching of devices by controlling the TV from the connected remote control.
If none of the above algorithms allowed the two devices to be connected, you can try to connect the remote to the TV by manually selecting a code.
How to program a universal remote control on a TV.
The remote control is also remarkable for the fact that it is not only capable of replacing many similar devices that are designed to work with an individual device. But also the ability to memorize permanent devices with which it works.
For this, there is a special memory in it. It activates after pressing the SET and POWER buttons simultaneously. After the indicator lights up, you can select the button that will be responsible for this device (in our case, the TV.) After that, you should complete the setup by entering an individual code. Now the user has the ability to switch between devices. Which he wants to use with the remote control.
Attention! Capable may vary. The refinement of the recording algorithm for your device can be found in the instructions.
The memory function allows you to avoid confusion in controlling devices with one remote control, which makes this device even more universal.
TV Codes for Universal Remote
Each TV model has an individual character set. Thanks to him, you can establish a remote control connection with almost any device. The code is a sequence of 4 or 5 characters. Different manufacturers, respectively, the codes differ. You can find it out from the technical documentation that comes with the device itself. There is also a universal table with the encodings of the most common models.
Reference! An individual code is made for the sake of safety and comfort, since it would not be very convenient if a TV in one apartment accidentally caught signals and switched channels due to a remote control located in a completely different room and used for completely different purposes.
What is a universal TV remote
The universal remote control is a new and modern device that was created in order to make life easier for everyone who is faced with the possibility of remote control. It can work not only with a TV, but also with various modern devices that have a digital "stuffing" such as smart refrigerators or air conditioners.
The remote control can also replace a conventional TV remote control. In case of breakage or loss. Even in appearance, these devices are a regular remote control in a plastic case with a convenient button mesh. The device works, like a regular television device, through infrared radiation, which sends encoded information from the emitter to the receiver on the terminal device. There, the code is subject to decoding and recognition of the command issued from the transmitter. After receiving the command, the terminal device immediately executes the specified algorithm.
Typically, the remote control runs on simple AA or AAA batteries. Power serves for quite a long time and the duration of work on the same batteries depends on the frequency and nature of the use of the device. The case is usually made of plastic, in order to reduce the cost of production. Inside the console there is a board on which, in addition to the power outputs, there are button sensors and a microcircuit, it forms a code sequence for subsequent transmission to the emitter. It also contains a signal emitting device, in the form of an infrared lamp.
Advice! Those who worry about health should be aware that modern remote controls are absolutely safe. Rays operating in the infrared range emitted by the device have too little power and cannot harm the human body.
There are many models of remote controls that differ not only in appearance, but also in functionality. Many devices are designed to control not only the TV, but also other technological innovations, such as a smart microwave, smart refrigerator or an advanced multicooker. Some models are equipped with a digital display. Which many times makes it easier to work with them.
Advice! When replacing a battery, remember that many devices “forget” all settings with loss of supply voltage. To avoid this, remove the batteries one at a time.
The price category of such a remote control ranges from one to eighty-four thousand rubles. This is due not only to the functionality of the models, but also to reliability and quality. Do not be mistaken that this device is made entirely in the east. On the market there are domestic models from Beeline, which are not inferior to competitors in their price segment.
