In the realm of home entertainment, the seamless integration of numerous devices is a constant pursuit. One of the essential tools in this endeavor is a universal remote control. With its ability to command a multitude of devices, a universal remote streamlines your entertainment experience, eliminating the hassle of juggling multiple remotes. However, programming a universal remote can often be a daunting task, especially without the convenience of a code. This guide will delve into the art of programming your ONN universal remote without a code, empowering you to take control of your home entertainment system with ease.
Before embarking on this journey, gather the necessary tools. You will require your ONN universal remote, the devices you intend to control, and a clear workspace. Begin by identifying the device you wish to add to the remote’s repertoire. For instance, let’s assume you aim to bring your television under the remote’s command. Turn on the television and position the remote within close proximity. Now, enter the specific programming mode for your device type. This mode is typically accessed by pressing a designated button on the remote, such as the “TV” or “POWER” button.
Once the programming mode is activated, the remote will enter a search phase. During this phase, the remote will transmit a series of commands to the device, attempting to establish communication. If successful, the device will respond by turning on, changing channels, or performing other functions. Once communication is established, the remote will have successfully learned the device’s unique language. Repeat this process for each device you wish to add to the remote’s control, ensuring a comprehensive entertainment experience at your fingertips.
Pair the App with Your Remote
1. **Install the Onn Remote app.** Download the app from the App Store or Google Play and install it on your smartphone or tablet.
2. **Power on the remote.** Make sure the remote is turned on and within range of your device.
3. **Identify your remote.** Open the Onn Remote app and select the “Add Device” option. The app will automatically scan for available remotes.
Selecting Your Onn Remote Model
Once the app detects your remote, you will be asked to select its model. If your remote is not listed in the initial scan, you can manually enter the model number or search for it using the “Search” bar.
If you encounter any difficulties in selecting your Onn Remote model, refer to the following table for assistance:
| Remote Model | App Model Grouping |
|---|---|
| 100042426 | 65UHDR10004 |
| 100058508 | 65UHDTV1 |
| 100058511 | 65UHDTV2 |
| 100058515 | 55UHDTV15 |
| 100058516 | 55UHDTV16 |
Scan for Your Device’s Code
If you cannot find the code for your device in the code list, you can try scanning for it using the remote’s built-in code scanner. This feature is not available on all Onn universal remotes, so check your remote’s user manual to see if it supports code scanning.
To scan for your device’s code, follow these steps:
| 1. Turn on your device (e.g., TV, DVD player, etc.). |
| 2. Point the remote at your device and press and hold the “Code Search” button. The button may be labeled differently on some remotes, so check your user manual for the correct button. |
| 3. Keep the remote pointed at your device until the power button on the remote starts blinking. This may take several seconds. |
| 4. Once the power button starts blinking, release the “Code Search” button. |
| 5. The remote will now start sending out a series of codes to your device. If your device turns off, you have found the correct code. |
|
6. If your device does not turn off, repeat steps 2-5 until you find the correct code.
Note: This process may take several minutes, so be patient. |
| 7. Once you have found the correct code, press the “Enter” button on the remote to save it. |
Save and Test the Code
Once you have entered the code, press the “Save” button to store it in the remote’s memory. To test the code, point the remote at your device and press the “Power” button. If the device turns on or off, the code is correct. If not, repeat the programming process with a different code.
