Universal remote control for household appliances. Universal consoles

Everyone knows that the main engine of progress and the emergence of new inventions is a feeling of comfort, a constant desire to improve conditions in order to make one's existence easier. One has only to remember the “trodden path from sofa to TV”, which undoubtedly was in every home. You have followed this path countless times in order to change the channel, turn up the volume, or vice versa. Today this path has already been forgotten thanks to such a useful invention as the remote control.

You can't find a house now that doesn't have some kind of multimedia device with a remote control. It's hard for us to imagine a TV tuner, TV or air conditioner without a remote control. And what can we say about the practicality of such an invention as a universal TV remote control. But, like all other electronics, consoles tend to get lost, technically outdated and, accordingly, bring only trouble, and not convenience to their owners.

Having lost the TV remote control, you don't have to worry about it. There are always universal remotes 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.

Device device

The design of the universal remote control is no different from the original models. Both types of devices have buttons for selecting channels, adjusting the sound, setting the 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 are not equipped with this function.

Comparison of the original remote control with the universal

There is no external difference between the two types of control devices. They differ only in the set of functions.

The first and foremost difference is that universal remotes can be connected to a large number of devices and devices. You can use them 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. Also, the remote control will allow you to control home theater functions, satellite dish and cable TV.

In addition, the cost of the universal remote control is lower than the original model, and the service life is generally longer.

For owners of old TV models, such a universal device will be a salvation in case the original controller is lost. The original remote controls for the models of previous years are simply not produced.

Are they really versatile

Any remote control can be used with different models of TVs, players and air conditioners. There are, of course, exceptions. For example, what if you can't set up the universal remote? How can you check if it fits a given device model? First you need to see 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 both in the remote control and in 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 work simultaneously with different devices from different manufacturers. Moreover, they do not have to be reconfigured every time.

How to set up a universal remote

To establish a connection between your TV or other device and the universal remote control, follow these steps:

  1. Turn on the remote control and point it towards the device.
  2. Simultaneously press the OK or SET button (depending on the model of the remote control) and hold it for 3-5 seconds.
  3. Enter the code for your device model.
  4. Then press the TV button to confirm the connection.

If for some reason the remote control does not connect to the TV, you need to do these steps again. An incorrect device code may have been entered.

There is another way to set up the Huayu universal remote control. To connect such a device, you can use auto search:

  1. Turn on the device to be configured.
  2. Press the SET button and then POWER.
  3. Release the buttons at the same time.
  4. Press the POWER button again and release.
  5. Check if the volume indication appears on the screen.
  6. Press the SET button twice in a row.

Not all universal remote control models support the auto search function. It is also possible that the auto search function is not supported by the TV itself. Therefore, for some cases, there is only one way to set up the LM P001 universal remote control - manual.

Some brands have a quick search function. To connect in this way, you need to perform the following sequence of actions:

  1. Turn on the device to connect to.
  2. Press and hold the TV button for a while.
  3. Release the button when the power indicator is on.
  4. Press and hold the MUTE button.
  5. When the connection is made, release the button.
  6. It is easy to check the operation of the remote control - just change the channel or adjust the sound.

If none of the methods came up and the code specified in the instructions did not work, you can use the last method - sequential iteration of the code manually.

How to determine the TV code

Each model of the device has its own universal code that allows you to connect a remote control to it. It comes in three, four and five characters.

For example, to learn how to set up a universal remote control for Samsung, you need to look at the code information in the instructions for your TV or air conditioner.

It is important to remember that you need to enter the code of the connected device, and not the universal remote control.

Smartphones with universal remote function

Some newer brands of phones allow them to be used as a universal remote control. As a rule, they can only be connected to TVs with SMART TV function.

To set up a universal remote control on a smartphone, you need to download a special application and follow the installation instructions that will light up on the screen. With the help of the program, it will be possible to interact not only with the TV, but also with other devices that allow the remote control function.

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 Wi-Fi, infrared, or Bluetooth connectivity.

To control TV equipment from a distance, equipment manufacturers are trying to equip the device with a remote control. In some cases, you have to buy a universal TV remote control to perform such actions. About what this device is and about the differences from the original version later in the article.

In order for the Smart TV TV to receive a high-quality image, you must use the digital TV function. In most cases, a special receiver attachment is used to connect such equipment. In this case, the user has two devices for remote control at once.

Not many people like the presence of an additional remote control, and therefore users are trying to get rid of the unnecessary old one so that it does not clutter up the space inside the room. For this purpose, you need to purchase a special universal PU, which will replace two remote controls at once - to control the TV and set-top box.

Despite the development of modern technologies, PU has remained unchanged for many years. It may differ slightly in shape, but the design remains the same - the electronic circuit, the presence of a large number of buttons and a plastic case with LEDs. Also, the set of equipment must include a power source - batteries.

The universal PU has the same filling as the standard version, but it will have to be configured in such a way that unnecessary remotes remain unused.

Many users are interested in the question: "can any remote control become universal for all TVs?" The answer is simple - no, not everyone. Externally, the remote controls will be very similar, but the filling is slightly different for the universal model.
Having bought a universal remote control, you need to look for codes for the required TV models and configure the remote control for manipulating multiple devices.

  2. Vivanco UR 2.
  3. One For All URC 6810 TV Zapper

Difference between original and universal remote

If a set-top box is used in the house, for example, Tricolor TV or House RU, then the remote control from these equipment is useless by itself without a corresponding pair - from the TV.

The principle of operation of any remote control consists of three main actions:

  1. When the user presses a certain key, the required microcircuit is activated, and the electrical impulse is transferred to the TV.
  2. Signal transmission is carried out thanks to the LED, which receives a specific command and sends a pulse to the TV with which it is paired.
  3. A phototransistor is installed in each TV. It receives an infrared signal from the control panel and converts it into an electrical impulse, which is transmitted to the control unit. As a result, the TV reacts to the perfect command.

To control the TV from the remote control, a special communication method is used, which is called PCM. This principle is also called a pulse traverse modulator.

The peculiarity of the equipment is that for each command from the remote control a three-digit code is assigned, for example:

  • 000 - deactivate the TV;
  • 001 - switch to the next channel;
  • 010 - return to the previous channel;
  • 011 - turn up the volume. 100 - decrease the volume;
  • 111 - activate TV equipment.

From this we can conclude that when you press the remote control button, the installed electronic circuit inside the PU activates an infrared diode that will work according to a certain pattern: "111" - ON, ON, ON.

The signal length will be interrupted in standard steps of a few milliseconds. When adjusting the volume, the code "011" is used. This means that the diode will do three such actions at once, but with a certain delay: it deactivates, turns off, and then turns on again.

You can find several types of remote controls in stores:

  • original;
  • universal;
  • unoriginal.

Non-original and original PUs are designed to control certain TV models. Their difference lies in the fact that the original version goes on sale together with a specific TV, and not the original one is bought to replace a damaged or lost model.

Universal PU, can be programmed according to the instructions for a specific TV, it is suitable for different options. The equipment is recommended to be connected to the TV if the original PU is lost or broken.

UPDUs vary in shape, color, size and design. The user will be able to choose depending on their preferences. A special program is built inside the equipment, consisting of several codes that match the signal of each TV device. For correct configuration, you need to know this code in advance.

How to set up a universal remote

To activate the universal PU, it is necessary to power it by placing the correct type of battery in the corresponding socket. In some remote controls, batteries are not included, and you will have to buy them.
Helpful Hint: It is advisable to purchase non-AAA batteries, rechargeable batteries that can be recharged many times. This will save you a lot of money. Together with the nutrient, they sell a special slot where they can be installed for recharging. For the operation, you need to connect the device to the electrical network at home.

Once the universal remote is powered, you can proceed to the Smart TV pairing operation. On the remote control, you must select the appropriate mode: TV, DVD or Audio (some models have other options).

You can watch the remote control settings in the video below, however, for each specific case, we will further consider the manual and automatic settings.

To connect to a TV device, you need to use the "TV" button. To activate, you need to hold down the button for about 3 seconds and wait until the indicator on the front control panel lights up.

Next, you should enter a specific code from the model of your TV equipment. To find out this parameter, you will need to study the instruction manual.
There are several ways how to set up a universal remote control for your TV - manual and automatic.

Manually

As mentioned above, for each TV unit there is a specific pairing code, which is necessary for fine tuning the universal PU.

After its introduction, you need to perform a certain order of actions.

Setting up a universal TV remote control:

  1. For the Supra remote control - point the remote control exactly at the TV and hold down the Power button, after which a window will appear where you will need to enter the code from the device. If the numbers are entered correctly, the LED will blink several times. At this point, the Power key can be released.
  2. For the Huayu universal remote control, press the Set and Power buttons at the same time. Wait until the LED starts blinking. Next, you will need to enter a 4-digit code. After the diode goes out, you must press the Set button.
  3. For the universal PU Beeline, you should activate the "TV" button and simultaneously press Setup and C.

After the installation is complete, the device will blink several times. This is a sign that the keys can be released. To check if the equipment is working properly, it is necessary to increase the volume of the TV. It is important to note that if you do not enter the code within a certain time (60 seconds), then all settings will have to be repeated.

Automatically

To set up the remote control in automatic mode, press a combination of four nines on the remote control keypad without removing your finger from the "9" key. If everything is done correctly, the TV is deactivated.

After that, the automatic selection of channels will begin. The operation may take approximately 15 minutes. This option is used if the user does not have a code for setting up a universal remote control.

How to set up a universal TV remote control:

  1. For the Supra remote, you need to turn on the TV, point the remote directly at it, and hold down the Power button for 6 seconds. The LED should light up. If the TV device responds to a decrease or increase in sound, then the setting in automatic mode was successful.
  2. On the Huayu PU, you need to hold down the Set button and immediately after it Power. It is important to do the operation correctly - the keys are not activated simultaneously, but with a short interval. After that, you can release the diggers. Hold Power again. Make sure that the volume level appears on the TV screen of the device. To exit the program, you need to click on the Set key several times.
  3. There is also a third setting option that can be used for universal remote controls. The TV set, as in the previous cases, should be turned on. Then press the "TV" button and hold it until the LED starts to light up (on some models, blinking may start). Hold down the Mute button to start searching. At the end of the process, it is necessary to activate any key of the universal control panel and make sure that the TV unit responds to commands.

Universal remote control codes

To set up a universal PU, you need to know a specific number from a specific brand of TV device. Codes for universal remotes from TVs are written in the data sheet of the device. There is also information on the manufacturer's official website. There is a table of codes with the correct values.


It does not matter from which TV the remote control is (Samsung, Philips, Toshiba, Panasonic or other popular brands), without the appropriate code it will not be possible to configure the equipment. Therefore, before buying, it is advisable to find out all the available information about the TV and PU.
It is easy to use the universal remote control - point at the TV and press the desired key. Everything is as with a standard remote control.

To configure and control multiple home electronic systems, it is necessary to use the services of universal remote controls. They can be programmable - these are devices in the memory of which a list of codes is initially laid down for use with a large number of manufacturers. Setting up such models is elementary - you just need to find the required code and enter it.

Models to be trained provide for the presence of the original remote control. The devices are placed opposite each other and all the functions of the original are gradually transferred to the universal remote control. The learning function is extremely useful when you need to configure a rare piece of equipment for which it is impossible to find a code. It should be noted that even the best universal remotes cannot support the settings of absolutely all rare models of household appliances. Therefore, when purchasing equipment, it is better to choose well-established manufacturers.

We have compiled a list of the best universal remotes based on expert opinions and feedback from real customers. Our recommendations will help you make the best choice for your requirements and desires. There are many competitors on the world market for equipment, but we have selected the best manufacturers and recommend that you pay special attention to them:

Remote controls have become part of the life of ordinary people. Now it is not only a TV gear changer, but also a universal device for controlling any electronics. It's no secret that technology is penetrating into life more and more. And today, complex microcircuits can be found not only in high-tech devices such as a computer or TV, but ordinary household appliances are also gaining a tendency towards robotization.

On the shelves, you can already find multicooker that can be controlled from an ordinary 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 technologies, ordinary citizens already have the opportunity to purchase such a universal remote control device.

In addition to the need to control household appliances with one click, such a 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 the remote control can always come to the rescue.

If you compare a universal remote control and a regular TV remote control, you will find that they are extremely similar in appearance. Often these two devices have the same shape and plastic housing. A similar arrangement of buttons may suggest that the remote control is not designed to control anything other than a TV, but this is not the case.

This misconception is associated not only with the appearance of the device, but also with the weak technical savvy of ordinary people. Many people find it incredibly difficult to connect and configure such a device with other devices. In fact, it is very, very simple to organize the simultaneous control of absolutely any devices that support remote control from one remote control. Now we will look at how this is done using the example of installing and setting up the matching of a universal device and a simple TV.

How to manually set up a universal remote control to a TV.

First you need to make sure whether this model of the remote control is suitable for the device. Often times, users have setup problems because of this kind of problem. That is why it makes sense to check the list of suitable models and get acquainted with the technical characteristics before purchasing a remote control.

  • The first step in configuring two devices is to test the functionality of both devices. Check the presence of power elements on the control panel.
  • Then you need to press and hold the OK button (there may be a SET button in various variations).
  • Next, enter the code that matches the model of your TV or other device.
  • Then you need to use the TV button and make sure there is a connection.

If communication between both devices did not occur, you should repeat the steps, having previously checked the correctness of the digital combination and the manufacturer. In different variations of the remote control, the algorithm may be slightly different. The connection method depends on the manufacturer of this model.

Here's another way to connect this device.

  • Check the functionality of the devices and the presence of a power supply.
  • Activate device configuration mode. Usually, detailed instructions are supplied with the remote control. On most models, this is done by pressing the SET and POWER buttons together.

Reference! Many devices support configuration from a smartphone or computer. There are also models of remote controls with a built-in display, which makes operation easier.

  • You need to select a dedicated button for your TV. In other words, when you press 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 symbols that allows the remote control to access them. The user then has access to the remote control of the TV. By repeating this simple algorithm, you can configure the rest of the equipment that supports remote control.

How to set up a universal remote to your TV automatically

There is also an alternative way to configure and connect. You need to use autosearch, to do this, you need to take a few simple steps:

  • Turn on the necessary devices.
  • Then press successively the OK (or SET for different types of devices) and Power buttons. The indicators should light up, which will let the user know that the remote control is selecting a code for the model of a particular TV.
  • The next step is to release both buttons at the same time and press POWER. If everything is done correctly, the volume level indication should appear on the screen.
  • The final step is to press the SET button twice in a row. The setup is complete and you can start using it.

Attention! Not all devices support this autosearch. If the setup fails, you may have a model with no autosearch capability.

In the event that there are problems with automatic configuration, there is another method below. Many models have the ability to quickly select.

To activate this method, you need to take the following steps.

  • First, turn on the devices and check their performance.
  • Press and hold the TV button until the LED that is responsible for the power indication lights up.
  • Then you need to hold down the MUTE button until you connect to the TV. Once connected, you can release the button.
  • Then you need to check the connection of devices by controlling the TV from the connected remote control.

If none of the above algorithms made it possible to connect two devices, you can try to connect the remote control to the TV by manually selecting the code.

How to program a universal remote control to a TV.

The remote control is also remarkable in that it is not only able to replace many similar devices that are designed to work with an individual device. But also the ability to memorize the permanent devices with which he works.

There is a special memory for this. 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! Capabilities may vary. You can find out more about the recording algorithm for your device in the instructions.

The memory function allows you to avoid confusion in managing devices with one remote control, which makes this device even more versatile.

TV codes for universal remote

Each TV model has an individual character set. Thanks to him, you can establish a connection between the remote control and almost any device. The code is a sequence of 4 or 5 characters. Different manufacturers, respectively, have different codes. You can find it out from the technical documentation that comes with the device itself. There is also a universal table with the most common model encodings.

Reference! The individual code was made for the sake of safety and comfort, as it would not be very convenient if the TV in one apartment accidentally caught signals and switched channels from the remote control, which is located in a completely different room and is used for completely different purposes.

What is a universal TV remote control

The universal remote control is a new and modern device designed 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 with digital "stuffing", such as smart refrigerators or air conditioners.

The remote control can also replace a regular TV remote control. In case of breakage or loss. Even in appearance, these devices look like an ordinary remote control in a plastic case with a convenient button grid. The device works, like a conventional television device, by means of 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 sent from the transmitter. Upon receipt of the command, the terminal immediately executes the specified algorithm.

Usually the remote control runs on simple AA or AAA batteries. The power supply lasts quite a long time and the duration of operation on some batteries depends on the frequency and nature of use of the device. The body 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 outputs from the power supply, there are push-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 are concerned about health should know that modern remote controls are absolutely safe. The infrared rays emitted by the device are of too low 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 a TV, but also other technological innovations, such as a smart microwave oven, smart refrigerator or an advanced multicooker. Some models are equipped with a digital display. Which makes it much easier to work with them.

Advice! When replacing the 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 the reliability and quality. Make no mistake that this device is made entirely in the east. There are also domestic models from the Beeline company on the market, which are not inferior to competitors in their price segment.
