Self-configuring a universal TV remote control

The Apple TV remote doesn't have labeled buttons for functions like fast forward and rewind, but it's very easy to do. Here's how to fast forward, rewind, skip, and skip TV shows and movies on Apple TV.

The following steps are standard system gestures and actions for remotes on tvOS, the Apple TV operating system. You'll be able to do these steps in Apple apps, such as the TV app, and in third-party apps that share the same video player.

Note. Some third-party apps use alternative custom video players and may not support all gestures (though good apps should, and there is near-universal support for the basics).

What is a universal remote?

It sounds complicated, but in fact, it is a simple device that creates signal pulses suitable for most TVs and set-top boxes.

Differences from a regular remote control

The original remote control and the universal one have two significant differences, which significantly increase the cost of the first - this is its “branding” and quality.

A remote control made by the owner-manufacturer is undoubtedly of higher quality than a Chinese one. However, if the TV is already 5-6 years old, then you will not be able to find a branded remote control for such an old model.

Sharp Remote Control App

To control this group of TVs, there is an official SmartCentral Remote application (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.allrcs.sharp_remote&hl=ru&gl=US). It is available for all types of devices.

The program has standard functions: channel switching, sound control, and so on.

Connection is the same as for other TVs, however, this application is only available in English, which may be difficult to use. But this is compensated by the fact that with this application you have access to control several TVs at once, as well as transfer various videos and pictures from your phone to your TV.

Very simple guys serve in remote missile garrisons and are not afraid to write clear instructions. For example, in one instruction of the missile unit of the Siberian Military District there was the following entry: “The operator on duty is prohibited from sleeping with his head on the control panel of the missile launcher, so that drool from his open mouth does not short-circuit the electrical contacts.”

Enter device code

All supported TVs, DVD players and other equipment are indicated by digital codes in the remote control instructions. Therefore, in order to configure a universal remote control for a specific device model, you need to identify it by entering this code into the remote control memory.

As a rule, to do this you need to type a few numbers on the remote control keyboard, and they will be written into its memory. This may be indicated by the backlight of the remote control, which will light up in a certain way.

Some universal remotes have a learning mode: they automatically adjust to control the device that is turned on next to them. If your remote control has such a mode, check the instructions on how to enable it.

Repeat these five steps for each device, and you can control everything from one remote control. Typically, this is done as follows: for example, to turn on the TV, you first press the device control button (for example, TV), and then the function button (for example, POWER).

What is a universal remote control

A universal remote control (UPRC) is a small, simple-looking device. Contains a microcircuit inside that allows you to generate signals of different pulses simultaneously.

There are quite a lot of UPDU models on the market, which differ in configurations, price, appearance and control codes. The most popular models are Supra, Huayu, Beeline.

Codes for setting up a universal remote control for use with a specific TV can be found in the document below.

The algorithm for connecting the PU to Smart TV and set-top boxes of older models is no different. There is no need to look for how to set up a universal remote control for a Samsung TV, or find out from service centers how to set up a universal remote control for an LG TV, since the process of adapting the remote control to the equipment does not depend in any way on the manufacturer of the receiver.

Supra

This device is a popular model for adjusting Samsung, LG, Philips TVs and other models of TV signal receivers. The installation algorithm for Smart TV and older models is the same.

4. When pairing is successful, the volume icon will appear on the screen. Press the POWER button once.
5. The UDPU is ready for use; you need to check its functionality.

Manual adjustment

If the described method of adjusting the Supra did not help, and you still cannot control the television through the remote control, there is also manual adjustment of the universal remote control for the TV:

1. In this document, select the code corresponding to the model of the TV signal receiver.
2. We connect the TV to the network.
3. We point the remote control directly at the screen.
4. Press “POWER” and enter the code found earlier.
5. Do not release “POWER” until the indicator flashes twice.
6. We try to check each of the buttons on the remote control. If some of them do not work, then you will need to find another code.

The operation of “virtually” replacing a television Volume key with an extension key is carried out in 15 seconds.

To TV

Training a button that replaces the selection of speaker power on a TV is not available on all Beeline remote control models.

To the console

To control the volume from the receiver, use the following instructions (see table).

HUAYU

This remote control can be paired with any TV, be it an old Philips or the latest model Samsung. The process of pairing with the screen is the same:

1. We press the “POWER” and “SET” buttons on HUAYU, which enters the UDPU into programming mode. When the equipment is paired, the indicator on the remote control device will be constantly lit.
2. The command is set by the “VOL” button.
