Equipment manufacturers try to provide each of their devices with a remote control so that the user can conveniently use their products. You don’t need to get up to turn off the lights, adjust the air conditioner, fan, or turn on/off the TV; you can do everything while sitting on the couch. This is, of course, convenient, but over time, coffee tables become cluttered with different remote controls, which creates a certain amount of confusion and irritation.
If you don’t yet know that there is a universal remote control that can be configured to control several devices at once, then in this article we will tell you about all its capabilities and provide instructions on how to use it and how to configure it correctly.
If you have become a happy user of digital television, then a new device with a remote control has appeared in your apartment - a set-top box-receiver. And in order not to add another remote control to your everyday life, let's figure out how to use a universal remote control.
Despite all the breakthroughs in technology, remote control devices have not changed at all. They may have different shapes, but the design of any remote control still consists of a housing, an electronic circuit, buttons, LEDs, and an autonomous power supply.
The universal remote control has an identical internal structure, only it can be configured to control several devices at once. For example, having purchased such a device, you can put the television, set-top box and multimedia remote control in the closet, and register all their functions in a universal remote control.
Can any remote control be universal? No. Although they are similar in appearance, their internal electronic circuitry is different. Only devices designed for this purpose can be configured to control multiple devices.
The difference between the original and universal remote control
A TV remote control, for example, a Tricolor TV, is a useless device in itself; it can only be used in conjunction with another device - a television receiver, for which it was created.
The operating principle of the remote control is based on three actions:
- When you press a button on a device, you mechanically activate a microcircuit that creates a specific sequence of electrical impulses;
- The LED element of the remote control converts the received command into infrared radiation with a wavelength of 0.75-1.4 microns, and sends the signal to the associated device;
- The TV has a phototransistor that detects this IR signal and converts it into its own electrical impulse, transmits it to its control unit, due to which the command you have given is executed.
The communication method used in remote controls is called PCM, or Pulse Code Modulation. Its peculiarity is that each command is assigned a separate 3-bit sequence, for example:
000 – turn off the TV; 001 – select the next channel; 010 – return the previous channel; 011 – increase volume; 100 – reduce volume; 111 – turn on the TV, etc.
That is, when you press a button on the remote control, the electronic circuit turns on the IR LED in accordance with a given pattern: “111” - ON, ON, ON, with a clear signal step length, for example, 3 milliseconds. If you selected the volume button, which has code 011, then the LED will perform three such actions with a predetermined delay: turn off, turn on, and turn on again.
There are three different types of remote controls on the market:
- Original;
- Unoriginal;
- Universal.
Original and non-original remote controls are control devices created for one specific model of technical devices. The only difference is that the first type is produced by the native manufacturing plant where the TV itself was assembled, while non-original remote controls are produced by different companies under license.
Universal remote controls (UPDU) are learnable control devices that:
- Can be customized;
- Suitable for many TV models;
- Can be used instead of a lost remote control for any technical device.
A universal remote control can be chosen by shape, size, color, design, depending on personal preferences. Inside such a device there is a special program and a special code base that allow you to determine signals from almost any TV.
The most common brands of universal remote controls are Supra, Huayu and Beeline.
On the phone
Modern mobile devices running on the Android OS platform offer their users a huge number of actions that make life much easier. By installing a special application or downloading a program to your Android, you can use it instead of a remote control.
To control your TV supra from your phone, install a virtual model of the remote control on your device. After downloading it, you will be able to perform actions in different modes: via IR or Bluetooth, extended or universal.
Perhaps Supra has released its mobile virtual remote control application. The application of this company is worth searching on the Playmarket service. If you haven’t found it, then you should pay attention to applications that adapt to almost all television systems. Programs and applications of this kind can be downloaded for free or for a fee. It all depends on your capabilities.
The entire process of installation and downloading to your phone will take no more than a few minutes. The interface of such applications is very easy and intuitive. When searching and downloading, please note that some universal applications do not have a Russian language package in the settings. Which can cause some difficulties when learning and using the program.
Based on the results of your query, the most popular, frequently downloaded programs and applications will appear in the first rows. You can connect and fully control only TVs that have a Smart function. Because they have a built-in feature that allows you to use Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. However, with the help of a smartphone, you can control not only TV, but also other devices that provide remote control.
You can control your TV using your phone/tablet
How to find out the TV code
To set up a universal remote control for your TV, it is advisable to know the three- or four-digit code of a specific model. You can find such codes either in the technical data sheet of the TV, or on the website of the equipment manufacturer, or in special ones. It’s called “Code for setting up the remote control”
.
But how to set up the remote control for your TV if you couldn’t find the right model code for your model? For this purpose, each UPDU has an automatic configuration function with software code search. Simply press the desired combination of numbers, after which the auto-selection command will start.
Rostelecom remote control: instructions and TV codes
Many owners of this equipment are interested in how to set up a Rostelecom remote control on a TV? It’s not that difficult to do, just follow a few simple steps:
- Initially, press the TV and OK keys simultaneously. Hold them for a couple of seconds until you enter setup mode. The LED on the button will notify you of this.
- A panel with numerical symbols will appear. You need to study it, choose a code for your own TV model, be it LG or products from another manufacturer.
- If the code was chosen correctly, the LED blinks twice and confirms that you were correct.
- Now you can check. Try controlling the set-top box using the controller; if the buttons work, then you can start using the equipment.
Setting up universal remote controls
The first step is to insert power supplies into the remote control. Some remote controls are sold without batteries, so you will have to buy them additionally. You can stop at batteries, or you can immediately purchase rechargeable batteries. The second option will cost more, but they can be recharged hundreds of times from the network.
Then turn on the TV with which the remote control will be paired. On the remote control, select the desired mode: TV, DVD, PVR or AUDIO (to set up the TV, use the “TV”
). Hold the button for 3 seconds until the indicator on the front panel of the device lights up.
But the next steps will be different: if you do not know the model code of your TV, then proceed to the next section of automatic setup, and if you know the code, then read the instructions for manual setup.
Automatic
On the digital panel of the remote control, dial the number “9999” without removing your finger from the “9” key until the TV receiver turns off. After this, the automatic channel selection procedure will begin, which can take up to 15 minutes.
This method is used if the code for your device brand is not in the list of brands. However, if a conflict of control buttons occurs (the function of one button applies to several devices), then their correction will be impossible if a search was launched across the entire database (combination “9999”).
In different models, the combination of buttons may be different; it is better to look at the information on the packaging of the remote control or in the instructions supplied with it.
To configure the SUPRA remote control (Supra), which is most often used to control LG, Samsung or Philips TVs, the algorithm will be as follows:
- Turn on the TV;
- Point the remote control at him;
- “Power”
and hold it for 5-6 seconds until the LED lights up; - Wait until the volume icon appears on the screen. Try changing the sound setting, if the TV responds, then the setup was successful.
HUAYU remote control is configured according to the following scheme:
- Turn on the TV;
- On the remote control panel, press the “Set”
, followed by the
“Power”
, and then release both buttons at the same time; - “Power”
key again ; - Make sure the volume symbol appears on the screen;
- To exit programming mode, press the “Set”
.
There is also a third auto-tuning option, implemented in some models of universal remote controls:
- Turn on the TV;
- Press the “TV”
and hold it until the LED lights up; - Press and hold the "Mute"
to connect search; - Wait for the process to complete and check the operation of the remote control with any command: if the TV responds, it means the remote control is configured successfully.
Manual
All TVs have their own pairing code, and knowing it, you can quickly set up a universal remote control. Find out your model code and do the following:
- Turn on the TV receiver;
- On the remote control, hold down the “Power”
and, without releasing it, enter the code of your TV model; - When the device LED blinks 2 times, release the “Power” button.
- To enter the programming mode, simultaneously press two buttons: “Power”
and “Set” and wait until the PU indicator lights up continuously; - Enter the four-digit code;
- The indicator should go out, exit using the “Set” button.
UPDU Beeline
- Turn on TV;
- Press 2 buttons: “C” and “Setup”;
- Wait until the initialization is completed and after the indicator blinks 2 times, the buttons can be released;
- The functionality is checked using the “Vol” button.
If you do not have time to enter the code within one minute, the TV will be switched to normal mode and you will need to start the setup again
.
No code
You can also set up a universal remote control to control your TV by searching for a code. To do this, follow these steps:
- Turn on the TV and point the remote control at it;
- Press two buttons at the same time: “TV”
and
“OK”
. Keep them active for 2-3 seconds until all the remote control buttons light up. Wait until only the number buttons remain lit; - Slowly press the “CH+”
until the TV turns off, this will mean that the code has been selected; - To save your settings, press the TV button.
Please note that the code selection speed for each television model is different, so when pressing “CH+”, wait a couple of seconds to have time to notice the reaction of the television receiver.
Eliminating remote control conflicts
Periodically, the remote control settings get lost - the Rostelecom remote control gives commands to both the set-top box and the TV. For example: you press the volume up button, at the same time a menu opens or a channel is selected.
Instructions for solving the problem:
- Point the remote control at the set-top box, simultaneously press and hold the OK and POWER buttons for 5 seconds. If the indicator on the POWER button flashes 2 times, the remote control has entered programming mode.
- Select the first code from the list: 3220 3221 3222 3223 3224, enter it from the remote control. Then try clicking on the button that causes a command conflict. If the problem persists, start again using the following code.
Less often, there is a situation when not only the remote control for the set-top box gets lost, but also the remote control for the TV. When you turn up the volume on the television remote control on Interactive Television - the broadcast mode of the set-top box, the channel changes or a menu opens. In this case, you need to not only program the remote control from the set-top box with one of the above codes, but also select this particular code in the set-top box menu:
- Go to “Menu” – “Settings” – “System settings” – “Remote control”. Select a set of commands depending on the code that is configured on the console remote control. If you make a mistake, don’t worry, the set-top box won’t let you choose another code, it will show you the current one below.
- Try turning up the volume on your TV remote. If the problem persists, go to the “Remote Control” again, select “Allow all”, configure it with a different code. Go to “Remote Control”, select this code.
Set of commands for synchronization
The chance that you can configure it in the first step is 80%, since the TV remote control in such a failure works on one of five codes.
Smartphones with universal remote control function
Did you know that the latest models of some smartphones already have a universal remote control function? You don’t have to buy another remote control, but simply set up your phone to control all the devices in your apartment, but only those that have the SMART option.
To set up a universal remote control on your smartphone, you will have to visit the Play Store and download the mobile application. There are many of them, so read the reviews and install the one that suits you best.
After starting the program, you will be offered a list of equipment (set-top box, media streamer, TV, player, smart home, etc.). Choose what you want to control. Next you will need to indicate the manufacturer and pairing method (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, infrared).
The program will start searching for equipment, and as soon as you see the name of your equipment on the phone screen, select it. A special confirmation code will appear on the TV display, which you will have to enter into the program on your smartphone. Now you have in your hands not just a phone, but also a control panel.
This installation is extremely simple and straightforward. All instructions appear sequentially on the phone, and all you have to do is confirm your actions. For such a setup, you do not need to know the code and automatic search is also not required. Remote communication is established using the selected wireless communication technology with specific devices in your apartment.
Having a single control panel for all equipment in the house is very convenient. And as you understand from our article, setting up a universal remote control is quite simple and quick.
Note.
For the convenience of watching television on multiple screens, users purchase a universal control device. However, most people face the problem of setting it up. How to set up a universal remote control for your TV? Debugging the device will not take much time, but will allow you to conveniently and easily watch several TVs at the same time
General information about the remote control
An electronic device for remote control of various devices at a distance is quite easy to set up; any user of interactive television can handle this if desired. It is always accompanied by detailed instructions containing specially selected codes for modern TV models. What is the remote control for? It's no secret that with its help you can pause movies, programs, adjust the volume, in a word, manage the entire operation of the TV and its attachment. Before we move on to the codes for the Rostelecom TV remote control, let’s get acquainted with the device itself. Its design is quite unusual, it implies the presence of smooth lines and original color schemes. The buttons are decorated in strict technological colors (blue, gray, purple).
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.
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.
Rostelecom remote control synchronization codes for Supra
Television from Rostelecom is a product with the latest interactive technologies. By purchasing a set for watching TV, the client receives an STB set-top box, a remote control, PLC adapters, a set of cables, and an instruction manual.
When connecting equipment, you need to bind the remote control to the TV. To do this, follow the steps below:
- point the remote control towards the set-top box;
- hold down two buttons OK and TV at the same time until the LED on the latter blinks twice;
- enter a 4-digit code and wait for the double blinking again.
For the Supra brand, the remote control codes from Rostelecom have the following combination: 0374 and 0009. After all the manipulations, you need to check whether the remote control is correctly synchronized with the TV by sending any command to it, for example, adjusting the volume.
Find out how to configure routers from ASUS - DSL N12U, DSL N14U, N10 and N10E for Rostelecom.
You can read about digital television and additional services for SML 282/292 HD Base set-top boxes here.
If there is a program conflict due to the same key, both devices will simultaneously receive a signal. To resolve this problem, you need to repeat the setup procedure by entering a different password option.
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.
Automatic setup
The remote control device can be adjusted quickly and conveniently. The process of automatic debugging of the UDPU with the receiver is as follows:
- Connect the screen to the network.
- The remote control needs to be pointed at the TV.
- Press the “POWER” button for 6 seconds until the indicator on the UDPU lights up.
- When pairing is successful, the volume icon will appear on the screen. Press the POWER button once.
- 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:
- Select the code corresponding to the model of the TV signal receiver.
- We connect the TV to the network.
- We point the remote control directly at the screen.
- Press “POWER” and enter the code found earlier.
- Do not release “POWER” until the indicator flashes twice.
- 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.
Settings
If a person does not know how to find and select a remote control for his TV, first of all he needs to go to the official website and check compatibility. You can almost always find a device from Mystery on this list. Setting up the TV always occurs through the television command menu displayed on the screen. In the main menu you can find sections such as sound, channel, image, lock, time and parameters.
In turn, the menu sections include moving the cursor using the up, down, left and right buttons. To exit the menu, you just need to press the “exit” key. If any of the modes is muted in color, then this TV model does not support it and you will not be able to make the settings using any remote control.
Don't forget to configure the remote control
For example, when controlling the Mystery TV, you can find useful tips at the bottom of the screen. After connecting, the first thing to do is set the language and select the country of residence. After this, the system will offer to automatically search for channels. To confirm the action, just press the “OK” button on the remote control. After this, in the menu it will be possible to observe the search and fixation of television programs in analogue or digital broadcasting mode.
This also includes searching for radio channels or recording signals if they are transmitted in the received range. Upon completion, you will be able to see all found programs in the table. Their number always depends on the analog or digital mode. In the second case, TVs always remember many more channels.
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:
- 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.
- The command is set by the “VOL” button.
- You can exit the setup mode with the “SET” button.
Remote control devices from this manufacturer are suitable for controlling LCD and LED TVs. This scheme is suitable for setting up remote controls from Unimak, which are also quite common among remote control buyers.
If you need to reset existing settings
Often you need to reset settings that were previously set. To do this you will need to follow a few simple steps:
- Press the TV and OK keys. Wait until the device enters setup mode.
- Now enter 997. If you entered the code correctly, the LED will notify you that the parameters have been reset by flashing.
- If necessary, you can re-configure.
Typically, it is necessary to reset the parameters when the remote control does not work correctly, the TV refuses to respond to individual buttons. Then it is recommended to disconnect it from the equipment and repeat the procedure.
Beeline
Early models of remote control devices from this company had many shortcomings, since they could only be connected if the user had a special set-top box. Also, the remote control did not have a “SETUP” button. However, Beeline corrected itself and released an improved version of remote control equipment. The PU has decreased in size, but has acquired a larger number of functional buttons.
To pair the Beeline remote control with the signal receiver, you will need to follow the following step-by-step instructions:
- Turn on TV.
- Press the “C” and “SETUP” buttons.
- We are waiting for the initialization to complete.
- When the indicator blinks twice, the buttons can be released.
- You can check the functionality of the device using the “VOL” button.
Each of the remote controls has its own configuration algorithm, which should be described in detail in the operating instructions included in the kit.
How to set up a universal remote control for your TV? Before you buy a universal remote control, the seller must explain to you how to configure the remote control for your TV model. If you didn’t do this, or you purchased the remote control in an online store, or simply forgot how to configure it, then this article is what you need. I declare immediately: there are countless remote controls, differing from each other in different modifications and configurations. At the moment, there are many different ways to configure the remote control.
Method 1: If the remote control buttons have the following inscriptions: Sony, LG, Daewoo, Samsung and the like, and if the name of your TV is written on the universal remote control button, then you can try to configure the TV “quickly” " To achieve the desired result, you need to turn on the TV for which you will configure the remote control. The next step is to point the remote control at the TV and press the remote control key corresponding to your TV and keep the key pressed for a couple of minutes until something happens. For example: turning off the TV. As soon as this happens, you immediately let go. If you notice a change in volume on the screen, also release the key - the TV will automatically tune in.
Method 2: When purchasing a remote control, a small book or a sheet of paper with explanations must be present in the box. This book describes how to configure the remote control. Here's how: the values written in the book are codes for setting up the remote control. Typically, a universal remote control has a small indicator light that informs you about the status of the remote control. If you are ready to start setting up the remote control, then open the book with codes and look for the codes you need, for example: from the entire list of TVs, find yours. Next, as soon as you have found the code for your TV, turn on the TV, point the universal remote control and press the “SET” key and the TV key (on/off) at the same time, the light should light up, then dial the code for your TV on the remote control, the light should go out . The remote control is all set up.
Manual identification method: The 10 in 1 universal remote control is initially set to the code “000”. If this code matches your TV, for example, then no setup will be required. Click the button corresponding to the device. Keep in mind that if you want to control 2 different TVs using a universal 10-in-1 remote control, then you can set one TV to channel TV and the other to TV2. Try turning off the TV.
NOTE: If your universal remote control does not have a button labeled “SET,” then your remote control is probably functional and can be configured for a TV, DVD player, satellite dish, and the like. In this situation, you must immediately press another key instead of the “SET” key. For example, if you are setting up a remote control for a TV, then at the same time press the “TV” key and the TV (on/off) key, then the light indicator should light up and you enter the code as described in the 2nd method for setting up a multi-purpose remote control
If you lose your TV remote, you don’t have to worry about it. There are always universal remote controls on sale that, after a fairly simple procedure, can easily replace the original model. The process of connecting to the TV will take no more than 10-15 seconds. It is only important to know how to set up a universal remote control.
Other problems
There are many TV manufacturers on the market. But the company that manufactures the set-top boxes did not take this fact into account when creating its equipment. This caused related problems to arise.
It is difficult to connect the remote control to devices from a number of manufacturers, including Dexp and Mystery. The main reason is that they are not very common, and the manufacturer of the set-top box did not create settings based on tables for absolutely all models.
What to do in such a situation?
- You can run automatic setup. There is a possibility that the code will be selected by brute force.
- If the first method does not work, you will have to spend a lot of time. You need to visit many forums about the set-top box and your TV model. There is a chance that you will find a specific compatible digital code.
- When this method does not help, you need to contact Rostelecom for support so that specialists can help solve the problem.
This is the set-top box it comes with ( SML-482HD Base
)
There is also such a thing, but it is not universal; it cannot be configured to control a TV. This remote control only adjusts the sound level of the set-top box, but the sound on the TV will have to be adjusted using the TV remote control((
comes with this attachment
This type of remote control is even rarer, but this remote control comes with amino,
of which there were a very limited number and then they began to be abandoned due to the incompatibility of the firmware and hardware of the console itself.
Now I will describe the solution to some problems that arise with the remote control from the sml-482HD or mag-250 set-top box
If the set-top box does not respond to the remote control
, and even the LED on the front panel of the set-top box does not blink, and you have already changed the batteries in the remote control, then there is a sure way to check the functionality of the remote control. Turn on the camera on your phone or camera, hold the remote control to the camera and press some buttons. If the lights come on that you can see through the camera, then the remote control is working and the console is most likely broken.
You can customize the Rostelecom remote control for almost any TV
so that he can turn it off and on and also adjust the volume of the TV.
To do this, you need to press two keys OK
and
TV
(you need to hold it until the LED on the TV blinks 2 times) and then you need to enter a 4-digit code.
There are two ways to synchronize the remote control with the TV:
1st by manufacturer code (this method is suitable for those who have TVs from JVC, LG, Panasonic, Philips, Pioneer, Samsung, Sony, Toshiba)
2nd by automatically searching through all the codes in the remote control memory (this method is for you if your TV is not in the list)

In general, after all these settings with the remote control, the TV should be turned off and on with the TV button, the TV sound can be adjusted using the Rostelecom remote control.
If you have any questions, write comments, I will try to answer everyone promptly.
When connecting to the Interactive TV service from Rostelecom, the client receives all the required equipment, including an STB set-top box and a remote control. After concluding an agreement for the provision of services, a qualified technician connects the equipment, so the question of how to connect, as a rule, does not arise for anyone. However, many users are faced with the problem of further proper configuration of the equipment. In this article we will dwell on this aspect, covering in detail the topic of programming the Rostelecom remote control.
Device structure
The design of the universal remote control is no different from the original models. Both types of devices have buttons for selecting channels, adjusting sound, setting a timer, and others.
Typically, both devices run on the same AA or AAA batteries. If you use one remote control for a large number of devices, then the batteries will have to be changed more often than in a conventional model.
Some features of the internal device may determine which devices can be controlled and how to configure the universal remote control. Gal LM p001, for example, has the ability to quickly connect to TV and SAT. Some other models do not have this feature.
Device management, configuration and reprogramming
In terms of design and functionality, the Rostelecom remote control is no different from its analogues. It is also suitable for other IPTV set-top boxes (the reverse is also true). The ergonomics of the device are quite good, it is pleasant to the touch and easy to operate.
Control
As with any remote control device, here you will find many buttons, the purpose of which for most modern users is intuitive and does not raise questions. However, there are some nuances. Let's dwell on this point, analyzing the functionality of each button:
- Power - designed to turn on and off the TV set-top box;
- A/V - allows you to switch from one TV video output to another, works only in control mode;
- TV - used to turn on/off the TV;
- Menu—go to the main menu;
- Toggle - located under the A/V button, to the right of the Menu, designed to change modes (menu-view);
- Back - to the left of the Menu, allows you to return to the previous window;
- Top, Down, Left, Right - arrows allow you to switch between different elements; in viewing mode, they open an additional panel;
- OK - intended to confirm the choice;
- Back, Forward - designed for rewinding video, works exclusively in viewing mode;
- Play/Pause - in viewing mode, used to stop and start the video;
- CH - two buttons with arrows, designed to switch channels;
- Mute — mutes the sound (pressing it again turns it on);
- Lost Channel - located under the Mute button. Used to switch between the last two channels;
- Volume—volume controls are used;
- 0-9 - keyboard for entering numbers and letters.
Important: the device is in working condition at all times if it has working batteries installed. A separate activation of the Rostelecom remote control is not required. If it doesn't work, then the problem is most likely in synchronization with the TV. In this case, many people are interested in how to flash the Rostelecom remote control, but this is the wrong approach. You only need to configure it using a certain sequence of actions.
Settings
In order to synchronize the Rostelecom remote control with your TV, you need to use one of the existing methods:
- configuration using coding from the manufacturer;
- setup using automatic code selection.
Important: for this, the TV must be turned on during setup.
Programming the remote control using the manufacturer's code
The first method assumes that you know the special code used by the manufacturer of your TV model so that the user can program the remote control (including from Rostelecom). As a rule, it is indicated in the accompanying documentation. If you don't know your code, you can use the following table.
So, after you have found out your code, you should simultaneously hold down the OK and TV buttons. After this, the LED near the TV button should blink, which means that the programming mode is turned on. Next, you need to enter your code using the keypad on the remote. If the code was entered correctly, the LED should blink. Finally, try using the device: increase the volume, change the channel to make sure the setup was successful.
Programming the remote control using automatic selection
If you could not find the code for your device, you should use the second method to link the Rostelecom remote control to the TV - automatic selection.
The first step is exactly the same - you will need to simultaneously hold down the OK and TV buttons until the LED next to the TV button lights up and blinks a couple of times. The programming mode will be activated, after which you should enter code 991 and press the CH+ button. Each press will generate a specific code and send it to the TV until a suitable one is found, which will manifest itself as the TV turning off. Finally, you need to click on the OK button to save the remote control code. If the procedure is done correctly, the LED near the TV button will blink twice.
Important: if you are unable to configure the remote control, and you are confident that the batteries installed in it are working, it makes sense to check it using any telephone camera. It should be brought to the device, and, looking at the mobile screen, press any button. In this case, you should see lights appearing in the photo.
Comparison of the original remote control with the universal one
There is no external difference between the two types of control devices. They differ only in the set of functions.
The first and main difference is that universal remote controls can be connected to a large number of devices and devices. They can be used simultaneously. For example, using one universal remote control you can turn on a TV, air conditioner, stereo system and any other electrical unit that allows remote control. The remote control will also allow you to control home theater functions, satellite dish and cable TV.
In addition, the cost of a universal remote control is lower than the original model, and the service life is usually longer.
For owners of older TV models, such a universal device will be a lifesaver if the original controller is lost. Original remote controls for previous years' models are simply not produced.
How to reset?
In order to return the factory firmware of the Rostelecom remote control, you should follow these steps:
- hold down the OK and TV keys until the diode blinks twice;
- dial code 997 using the numeric keypad;
- wait until the diode blinks several times.
After this, all settings will be reset, and you can reprogram the Rostelecom remote control in a new way.
It is an integral component of a comfortable life for many people in the world. By properly setting up your equipment, you can enjoy watching your favorite channels.
By connecting to Rostelecom, subscribers become the owners of a set that includes an STB set-top box and a remote control. The latter precisely becomes that object “X”, which raises a lot of questions. It's actually easy to use. Today we will tell you how to quickly set up the Rostelecom remote control on your TV.
The remote control from Rostelecom, which comes complete with the STB set-top box (see photo below), is equipped with a whole set of buttons.
There is nothing super unusual about them, their functions are simple and painfully familiar:
The remote control from Rostelecom fits all set-top boxes, has the same functionality and a single platform.
Are they really universal?
Any remote control can be used with different models of TVs, players and air conditioners. Of course, there are exceptions. For example, what should you do if you can’t set up a universal remote control? How can I check if it fits a given device model? First, you need to look at the list of compatible models in the instructions for the remote control itself. If there are no instructions regarding this, and the connection cannot be established, the problem may be in both the remote control and the TV.
The versatility of remote controls is determined by the fact that, unlike original devices, which can be configured to work with only one device, they can simultaneously work with different devices from different manufacturers. At the same time, they do not have to be reconfigured every time.
The emergence of a conflict and options for eliminating it
The conflict is the coincidence of the codes from the set-top box and the TV. Then problems arise when working with the equipment; the equipment cannot determine for which device the signal is being sent.
You can cope with this situation by changing the code. To do this you will need:
- Press the OK+Power combination and hold it for a short time.
- Select one of the codes from the range 3220-3224. The equipment will confirm the combination installation.
- Now check the operation, the problem should disappear. If the situation has not changed and the equipment continues to function incorrectly, perform these manipulations again, only select a different code from the provided range.
By changing the parameters, you can get rid of the conflict with the TV. If you use these simple instructions, then the setup process will not cause you any significant problems and will take a minimum of time.
How to set up a universal remote control
To establish a connection between your TV or other device and the universal remote control, you need to follow these steps:
- Turn on the remote control and point it towards the device.
- Simultaneously press the OK or SET button (depending on the remote control model) and hold for 3-5 seconds.
- Enter the code corresponding to your device model.
- Then press the TV button to make sure it is connected.
If for some reason the remote control does not connect to the TV, you need to do these steps again. The device code may have been entered incorrectly.
There is another way to configure the Huayu universal remote control. To connect such a device, you can use auto search:
- Turn on the device you want to configure.
- Press the SET button and then POWER.
- Release the buttons simultaneously.
- Press the POWER button again and release.
- Check if the sound volume indication appears on the screen.
- Press the SET button twice in a row.
Not all universal remote control models support the automatic search function. It is also possible that the auto search function is not supported by the TV model itself. Therefore, for some cases, there is only one way to configure the LM P001 universal remote control - manually.
Some brands have a quick search function. To connect in this way, you need to perform the following algorithm:
- Turn on the device you want to connect to.
- Press and hold the TV button for a while.
- Release the button when the power indicator lights up.
- Press and hold the MUTE button.
- When the connection occurs, release the button.
- It's easy to check the operation of the remote control - just change the channel or adjust the sound.
If none of the methods worked and the code specified in the instructions did not work, you can use the last method - sequentially searching through the code manually.
Factory reset
If you have a second TV from another manufacturer and you want to connect a set-top box to it, sometimes you need to reset the settings on the remote control.
- Press and hold the OK and TV buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds until the LED on the TV flashes 2 times.
- Enter 977, if the POWER button flashes red 4 times, it means the remote control is unlinked. It can be programmed for another TV.
Try setting the remote control to another TV immediately, without resetting. Often this is not required.
Smartphones with universal remote control function
Some newer brands of phones allow you to use them as a universal remote control. As a rule, they can only be connected to TVs with the SMART TV function.
To set up a universal remote control on your smartphone, you will need to download a special application and follow the installation instructions that will light up on the screen. Using the program, you can interact not only with the TV, but also with other devices that allow remote control functions.
This useful feature is available for a limited number of smartphone and TV models. To use your phone as a remote control, both devices must have a Wi-Fi module, an infrared port, or Bluetooth connectivity.
How to link a Rostelecom remote control to a TV
You can not only select codes manually, but also carry out this procedure automatically. To do this you will need:
- As with manual setup, hold TV and OK together and wait a few seconds to switch to the appropriate mode.
- Dial 991 on the number pad. In the future, the device will automatically select the code.
- Press the keys to switch channels. The remote control will now cycle through codes to gain access.
- After turning off the equipment, click on OK to confirm the selected code. Now you can fully use the element, the configuration has been completed.
Automatic setup is a more comfortable solution. It allows you to significantly save time on manually selecting codes and gain access to all functions of the set-top box and TV.
These are the two main ways to connect the Rostelecom remote control to your TV. The process takes a minimal amount of time and should not cause you any significant problems.
