What Is a Universal Remote?

A universal remote is a device that can control multiple electronic devices, such as TVs, DVD players, streaming devices, and soundbars, using a single remote. This is especially useful when you’ve lost your original remote or want to reduce clutter. The ONN universal remote is designed to work with a wide range of devices across different brands and models, making it a versatile choice for home entertainment systems.

What You Need

Before you start programming your ONN universal remote, gather the following:

• Your ONN universal remote
• The devices you want to control (e.g., TV, DVD player, streaming device)
• Fresh batteries for the remote
• Access to the ONN remote codes
• The user manual for your ONN remote (if available)

Programming the ONN Universal Remote with a Code

If you have the correct code for your device, follow these steps to program your ONN universal remote:

1. Turn on the device you want to control (e.g., your TV) manually using its power button.
2. Press and hold the “Program” button on your ONN remote until the “Power” button lights up red.
3. Press the device button for the device you’re programming (e.g., “TV” or “Stream”). The red LED will blink once and stay on.
4. Enter the 4-digit code you found using the number keys on the remote. The “Power” button’s light will turn off if the code is accepted.
5. Test the remote by pressing the “Power” button to see if the device turns off. If it does, try other functions like volume or menu navigation to ensure full control.

If the code doesn’t work, repeat the process with the next code from your list. If none of the codes work, consider using the auto code search method described below.

Programming the ONN Universal Remote Without a Code (Auto Code Search)

If you don’t have the code or prefer not to look it up, you can use the auto code search feature, which automatically tests codes until it finds the right one:

1. Turn on the device you want to control (e.g., your TV).
2. Press and hold the “Program” button until the “Power” button lights up red.
3. Press the device button for the device you’re programming (e.g., “TV” or “Stream”).
4. Hold down the “OK” button. The remote will automatically search for the correct code, which may take up to 10 minutes. Keep the remote pointed at the device.
5. Release the “OK” button when the device turns off, indicating the remote has found the correct code.
6. Test all buttons to ensure they work as expected (e.g., volume, channel, menu). If some buttons don’t work, repeat the process or try programming with a specific code.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you’re having trouble programming your ONN universal remote, try these solutions:

• Device Doesn’t Respond: Ensure the device is turned on and there are no obstructions (e.g., furniture) between the remote and the device. Point the remote directly at the device’s sensor.
• Code Doesn’t Work: Try a different code from the list. Some codes may only control basic functions (e.g., power), while others enable advanced features (e.g., menu navigation).
• Auto Code Search Fails: If the auto search doesn’t work, try programming with a specific code. Ensure only one device is powered on to avoid interference.
• Remote Not Working: Check the batteries. Low battery power can cause programming issues. Replace with fresh batteries and retry.
• Limited Functionality: If the remote controls some functions but not others, try another code from the list for better compatibility.

Table: Troubleshooting Tips

Issue	Solution
Device doesn’t respond	Ensure device is on, remove obstructions, point remote at sensor.
Code doesn’t work	Try next code from list; test multiple codes for full functionality.
Auto code search fails	Use specific code method; ensure only one device is on.
Remote not working	Replace batteries with fresh ones.

Additional Features of the ONN Universal Remote

Your ONN universal remote may offer advanced features to enhance its functionality. Here are some common ones:

• Learn Missing Functions: If your remote lacks a specific function (e.g., fast-forward), you can teach it to learn that function from your original remote. To do this:
  1. Press the device key (e.g., TV).
  2. Hold the “Setup” key until the LED blinks twice.
  3. Press 9 7 5; the LED blinks twice.
  4. Press the key you want to learn (e.g., Power); the LED blinks continuously.
  5. Press the corresponding key on the original remote. The LED blinks twice if learned.
  6. Repeat for each key or hold “Setup” to finish.
• Delete Learned Keys: To remove a learned function:
  1. Press the device key.
  2. Hold “Setup” until the LED blinks twice.
  3. Press 9 7 6; the LED blinks twice.
  4. Press the key to delete twice.
• App Shortcut Keys: Some ONN remotes allow you to set up shortcuts for specific apps or functions. For example:
  1. Hold the App Shortcut key until the light blinks twice and stays lit.
  2. Use the Devices key to select the device (e.g., TV).
  3. Perform the sequence and hold the App Shortcut key until the light blinks twice and goes out.

For detailed instructions on these features, refer to your user manual or visit ONN Support.

Factory Resetting Your ONN Universal Remote

If your remote isn’t working correctly or you want to start fresh, you can perform a factory reset:

1. Remove a battery from the remote and press any button.
2. Reinsert the battery; the LED should blink twice.
3. Press digits 2 and 8 simultaneously within 6 seconds; the LED blinks twice.
4. Enter the code 9 8 1; the LED will blink 4 times, indicating the reset is complete.

Note: A factory reset clears all programmed codes and learned functions, so you’ll need to reprogram the remote afterward.

Conclusion

Programming your ONN universal remote is a straightforward process that can save you time and reduce clutter in your home entertainment setup. Whether you use a specific code or the auto code search feature, you’ll soon be able to control all your devices with just one remote.
