Step-by-Step Guide to Programming Onn Universal Remote
1. Identify the Code for Your Device
The first step in programming your Onn universal remote is to identify the code for your device. To do this, you can refer to the user manual that came with your remote or consult the Onn website. The website provides a searchable database where you can easily find the code for your specific device.
To use the website, simply navigate to the Onn website, select the “Support” tab, and then click on “Universal Remote Codes.” On the next page, select the brand of your device from the dropdown menu and then enter the model number. The website will then generate a list of codes that are compatible with your device.
If you do not have the user manual or cannot find the code for your device on the website, you can try the auto-search feature. This feature automatically searches through all of the codes in the remote’s database until it finds the one that works with your device.
To use the auto-search feature, follow these steps:
- Turn on your device.
- Point the remote at your device and press and hold the “TV” button.
- Release the “TV” button when the LED light on the remote begins to blink.
- Press the “Channel Up” button repeatedly until your device turns off.
- Press the “Enter” button to save the code.
2. Enter the Code
Once you have identified the code for your device, you can enter it into the remote.
To do this, follow these steps:
- Turn on your device.
- Point the remote at your device and press and hold the “Setup” button for 3 seconds.
- Release the “Setup” button when the LED light on the remote begins to blink.
- Enter the code for your device using the number buttons on the remote.
- Press the “Enter” button to save the code.
3. Test the Remote
Once you have entered the code for your device, you can test the remote to make sure it is working properly.
To do this, simply point the remote at your device and press the “Power” button. If the device turns on, then the remote is programmed correctly.
If the device does not turn on, you may need to try a different code. To do this, repeat the steps above using a different code from the list.
Identifying and Selecting the Correct Remote Code
Finding the correct remote code is crucial for programming your Onn Universal Remote. The code determines the compatibility between your remote and the device you want to control. Here’s a step-by-step process to help you identify and select the right remote code:
