Programming Your QFX Universal Remote
Programming your QFX universal remote is straightforward. Below are three common methods, depending on your remote model.
Method 1: Direct Code Entry
This method uses a specific code for your device.
- Turn on the device you want to control (e.g., your TV).
- Press and hold the device button (e.g., TV) on your remote.
- While holding the device button, press and hold the Setup or Power button until the LED light stays on (about 2 seconds).
- Enter the 4-digit code for your device (e.g., 0001 for AOC). The LED should turn off if the code is correct.
- Test the remote by pressing the Power button. If the device turns off, the programming is successful. If not, try another code from the list.
Method 2: Auto Code Search
If you don’t have the correct code, use the auto code search feature.
- Turn on the device you want to control.
- Press and release the device button (e.g., TV) on your remote.
- Press and hold the Setup button until the LED light stays on (about 2 seconds).
- Press the Power button. The LED will flash as it searches for the code.
- Point the remote at the device and wait (this may take a few minutes). When the device turns off, press the OK button immediately to lock the code.
- Test the remote’s functions (e.g., volume, channel). If they don’t work, repeat the process.
Method 3: Using Dedicated Buttons (Specific Models)
Some models, like the QFX REM-10, have dedicated buttons for quick programming.
- Turn on your TV.
- Press the TV button and the brand-specific button (e.g., TV + 2 for Sony) simultaneously.
- Check if the remote controls the TV. If not, try another brand button or use another method.
Refer to your remote’s manual for specific button combinations, available at QFX Support.
Troubleshooting and Tips
If your QFX universal remote isn’t working, try these solutions:
- Reset the Remote: Enter the code 9901 to restore factory settings. This clears all programmed codes, so you’ll need to reprogram the remote.
- Code Issues: If the code doesn’t work, try another code for your brand or use the auto code search method.
- Battery Check: Ensure you’re using the correct batteries (AAA for most models, AA for the REM-115). Replace them if they’re low.
- Smartphone Alternative: If programming fails, consider using a smartphone app like the Universal TV Remote app from BoostVision. Connect your phone and TV to the same Wi-Fi network and follow the app’s instructions.
- Streaming Devices: Some QFX remotes, like the REM-115, may not support streaming devices like Roku directly. Use HDMI CEC through your TV or a smartphone app for control.
