• Hold down the Device Key for the device you want to set up (e.g. TV for TV).
• Hold down the Setup key until the LED under the LED blinks twice.
• Enter the first 4 digit code listed for your device below, for example 4398 for TV.
• The LED should blink twice. Now try pressing a few keys to see if the remote works your device. If so, your remote is ready to use. If not, repeat from step 1 with the next code in the list.

BLURAY + DVD 4016, 4371, 4377

SETUP – SIMPLESET

If the brand of your device is shown in the SimpleSet list next to a digit key, you can use the SimpleSet system described in this section, please locate the brand of your device and note the key associated with it.

TV

AUDIO

To set up your device:

• Turn on your device (not on standby) and point the ONN remote towards it. If you are setting up a Streaming device, make sure a movie or TV show is playing.
• Press the Device key you wish to set up (for example TV).
• Hold down the Setup key until the LED under the Device key blinks twice
• Hold down the digit key for your brand and device as listed in the tables above – e.g. 3 for an LG TV.
• The remote will send a Power command every 3 seconds, but if your device does not have a Power function (for example a streaming box like Apple TV) the remote will send the Play/Pause function. You may have to hold down the digit key for up to a minute.
• As soon as your device reacts by turning off or pausing (Streaming box only) release the digit.
• The LED will blink twice and the remote should now operate your device.
• If you find one or more keys do not work as you expect, start again at step 2 – the remote will start with the next code in the memory.

SETUP – SETUP BY CODE

If the brand of your device is not listed in the SimpleSet feature, you can set up by trying codes individually. To do this, firstly locate your brand in the Code List. Codes are listed by brand and device, and in order of popularity.

• Turn on your device (not on standby) and point the ONN remote towards it.
• Press the Device key you wish to set up (for example TV)
• Hold down the Setup key until the LED under the Device key blinks twice
• Enter the first 4 digit code listed for your brand (e.g. 1840 for LG).
• The LED will blink twice on the last digit of the code.
• Now aim the remote towards your device and press the Power key.*
• If the device turns off your remote is ready to use. If not, repeat steps 2-6 with the next code in the list.

Note: If your original remote did not have a Power key, try testing with a different key at step 6. For example try pressing Play or Pause when setting up a streaming box and see if the box responds.

SETUP – LEARNING

Your ONN remote control can learn any function from any other working remote control. This is a quick and easy one-time setup that allows you to control any infrared controlled device you have in your living room. It also allows you to add a key or keys that may be missing to a spare key on the ONN. To do this, firstly make sure you have all your original remote controls to hand, and that they have working batteries in. To learn functions, the original remote should be approximately 2-5 cm from the ONN remote, pointing towards it:

• Press the Device key for the device you want to learn functions onto (e.g. TV).
• Hold down the Setup key until the LED under the Device key blinks twice.
• Press 975 – the LED should blink twice.
• Press and release the key you want to learn a function onto (for example the Power key) – the LED will begin to flash rapidly.
• Press and release* the corresponding key on the original remote, for example Power.
• The LED will blink twice to indicate the key has been learned correctly.
• Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each key you want to learn – remember you can learn from multiple remotes, but only one function per key.
• When you have learned all the functions you require, press and hold the Setup key until the LED blinks twice.
• Some remotes send commands differently. If you find a function cannot be learned, try holding down the key on the original remote instead of pressing and releasing.

Hints:

• If the LED shows one long blink at step 5, the function was not learned correctly, please try again from step 4.
• If you find one or more keys don’t work properly after set up, you can re-enter the learning mode at any time by repeating the procedure from step 1.
• If one or more of your original remotes aren’t working, you can still set up the ONN remote by SimpleSet or Code Set Up.

Deleting a learned function

If you want to delete a learned function and return that key to its original state, you can use the following procedure:

• Press the Device key for the device your learned function operates
• Hold down the Setup key until the LED under the Device key blinks twice
• Press 976 – the LED should blink twice
• Press the key you want to reset twice – the LED should blink twice and the learned function has been deleted.

SETUP – VOLUME LOCK

If you primarily use one device for controlling sound, for example a Sound Bar or Audio Video Receiver, it’s possible to program your ONN remote to only control that device when you use the Volume Up, Down and Mute keys. To do this:

• Hold down the Setup key until the LED under the Device key blinks twice.
• Press 993 – the LED should blink twice.
• Press the device key for the device to always control volume – for example Audio.
• The LED will blink twice. From now on, pressing the Volume Up, Down or Mute keys will always control the the above programmed device, no matter what device you are controlling.

To unlock the volume, and return the remote to controlling each device’s sound individually, the procedure is:

• Hold down the Setup key until the LED under the Device key blinks twice
• Press 993 – the LED should blink twice
• Press VOLUME DOWN – the LED will blink four times and Volume is now unlocked.

CHANNEL SHORTCUT MACROS

As well as their normal functionality, the Red, Green, Yellow and Blue keys can be reprogrammed to select your favorite channels by genre. If you press and release each of these keys, they will perform exactly the same function as your original remote. However they can be reprogrammed so that when they are held down for 3 seconds they will send a channel number, then when held down again for 3 seconds, they will send a different channel number. You can group these channel by genre such as Sports, News, Movies and Kids. The procedure to program is as follows: Say for example, the first 3 Sports channels are on channels 200, 201 and 239, you can assign shortcuts to these channels on the Red (Sports) key. To do this: Firstly select the device you use to watch live TV. For example if you are a DirecTV subscriber and you have set up your Set Top Box on the STB key, press STB. Now you can program the channel shortcuts.

• Hold down the Setup key and the Red key until the LED blinks twice
• Enter the first channel number (200)
• Press and release the Red key
• Enter the next channel number (in this example 201)
• Repeat Steps 3 and 4 for each channel shortcut you want to add
• After entering the last channel number you want, press and hold the SETUP key.

The LED will blink twice and the shortcuts are now programmed. When watching live TV, simply hold down the Red key for 3 seconds, and the first Channel Shortcut will be sent (in this example channel 200). The next time you hold down the Red Key, the shortcut for the next Channel Shortcut will be sent (in this case channel 201). You can reprogram each of the different colour keys with different lists of channel numbers, by holding down the Setup and a different coloured key at step 1, and pressing and releasing the same key at step 3. Each coloured key has a different icon to help you remember the channels that you have stored there. You can program up to 8 different channel numbers per key.

If you wish to reset the key to default, the procedure is as follows:

• Press the device key you have programmed the shortcuts on (for example STB).
• Hold down the Setup key and the key you wish to reset (for example the Green key) until the LED blinks twice.
• Press and release the key to reset (for example the Green key).
• Hold down the SETUP key until the LED blinks twice. The key is now reset.

APP SHORTCUT KEYS

The ONN remote features three App Shortcut Keys which can be used to open apps on your Smart Devices. If your original remote control has a Netflix, Amazon Prime Video or YouTube key, these keys will perform the same function. However if you did not have a key like this, but still had the ability to watch a streaming service, you can use this key as a shortcut by programming a macro on it. Most AV devices which are connected to the internet, such as Smart TVs or streaming Set Top Boxes have one or more applications they can run to access TV  viewing via the internet. Examples of these would be Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime or similar.

To program the macro, you first need to know the device you use to access the service, and then the sequence of keys you need to press to always bring up the service you prefer, For example, some Panasonic TVs will start Netflix by pressing the Apps key, then Menu Down Twice, and finally the OK key. Or on an Apple TV, the sequence is Menu, Menu Down and OK.

Once you have determined the sequence for your device, follow these steps:

• Sit in front of your device with it switched on (not on standby)
• Hold down the App Shortcut key until the LED blinks twice.
• Press the device key for the device you want to use for the macro (e.g. Stream)
• Now perform the sequence of keys exactly as you would normally to start your streaming service The remote will operate your device and the macro is recorded in real time – so if it normally takes a few seconds for your device to react don’t worry.
• Once you have finished the sequence – and the Streaming Service has started on your device – hold down the App Shortcut key until the LED blinks twice and goes out. The macro is now stored.

Tips

• Make sure the ONN remote is operating the device in question before programming
• If you find the Macro doesn’t work as expected, you can just repeat the same sequence to reprogram
• When programming, wait for your device to respond first, the remote will remember the timing
• The App Shortcut macro is tied to one device, remember to make sure you are watching the correct device

ACTIVITIES

An Activity is a combination of devices. On a standard universal remote control if you want to control different devices you need to swap between them using the device keys. So you wanted to control the input of your TV, the channels and guide of your DirecTV and the volume of your sound bar, you would need to swap between these by pressing the TV, STB and Audio keys. On the ONN remotes these devices can be grouped into one Activity mode, so after pressing watch TV, the Input key will control the TV, the Volume Up, Down and Mute will control the Sound Bar and the other keys will control the Set Top Box.

The ONN remote has 3 Activity modes, specifically Watch TV, Listen To Music and Watch Movie. Each of these modes has a choice of devices to combine. These are:

If you set the default devices for any Activity on the remote (for example a TV, STB and Audio for Watch TV) that Activity will be set up automatically on the remote. If you would like to change to a different combination, the procedure is as follows:

• Hold down SETUP until the LED under the device blinks twice. The LED under the current device will stay lit.
• Press the Activity key you want to set up (e.g. Watch TV).
• Press the number of the combination you want to set – e.g 3 For TV + AUD in Watch TV.
• The LED will blink twice and go out. To access the Activities, simply press the ACTIVITY key. You can return to controlling by device by using any Device key.

AV SHIFT

As the AV key is intended to select the input on your TV and most TVs use a menu to select from a list of inputs, when the AV key is pressed in an Activity, the Menu Up, Down, Left, Right and OK keys temporarily control the TV. If the OK key is pressed, or no key is pressed for ten seconds, these keys will revert to controlling the relevant device for the Activity (e.g. STB in Watch TV Mode).

POWER MACRO

If you hold down the Power key for 2 seconds in any Activity, the remote will send the Power function for each device contained within that Activity. So for example, holding Power in the default setting for Watch TV will turn both the TV and Set Top Box on or off.

SETUP BY ACTIVITY

As well as selecting your device combinations, Activities can be used to set up a combination of devices. If you have a combination of devices of the below brands, you can use this to easily set up your ONN remote to control all 3 devices with just one step using 3 digits. The combination of devices for each Activity is:

Watch TV TV + STB + AUDIO

Listen To Music TV + BLU + AUDIO

Watch Movie TV + STREAM + AUDIO

If you want to use one of those combinations for your Activity, the next step is to check if you have the devices below:

DEVICE BRAND DIGITS

If you have the right combination, just note the digit for each device. For example, if you have a Sony TV, a DirecTV receiver and an Onkyo Audio device like a sound bar, you can use the digits 2, 1 and 4 to represent your combination. To set up the Watch TV Activity as well as the three devices involved in that Activity, the procedure is:

• Hold down the Activity key you want to set up until the LED blinks twice.
• Enter the 3 digit code for your 3 devices (e.g. 214).
• The LED should blink twice and all 3 of your devices and the Watch TV Activity are now set up.

From now on, the TV device key will control a Sony TV, the STB Device controls a DirecTV receiver and the Audio key controls an Onkyo sound bar, and your Watch TV Activity combines all three of these. You can repeat this for the Listen to Music and Watch Movie Activities replacing the second digit with the brand of Blu-ray player or Streaming box, as long as they are listed above. If not, you should use the SimpleSet or Code Setup methods listed earlier.
