FOREWORD
Thank you for choosing a universal METRONIC remote. We are confident you will be fully satisfied with this product. The
495398 model allows you to control up to 6 appliances: TV, Satellite receiver (SAT), DVD recorder (DVD) or HIFI system (AUX),
DVB-T set top box (TNT), ADSL box (BOX). After inserting the 1.5V AAA batteries (not included) in the remote, you can set
up the remote for each appliance that you wish to control. The universal METRONIC remote has been conceived to control
most products of each brand. This is why you have the choice between 3 types of set ups: by Brand code, automatic search
or through the learning function. In the set up details below, we use a TV as example. In order to set up the remote for your
Satellite receiver or DVB-T set top box, replace ‘TV’ with ‘SAT’ or ‘TNT’. After you have set up the remote, simply press the TV,
SAT, TNT etc key to select the appliance you wish to control.
In case your equipment is not recognized by this model, you may teach him (LEARN) through the original remote.
A - Set up by brand code
1 - Switch on your TV.
2 - Look up in the following pages the codes that correspond to the brand of your TV (i.e. for AEG, you should try the code
0589, then 1423 if the first code does not work, and finally 0043 if none of the two first codes work).
3 - Press the PROG and TV keys together for a few seconds until the light switches on. If you wait too long before pressing
another key, the remote will go into standby and the light will switch off. You should then start at Step 3.
4 - Enter one of the 4-digit Brand codes. After each digit, the light will briefly switch off. It will switch off for good after you
have entered the 4th digit. If the light blinks twice and then stays on, try the next code.
5 - Point the remote towards your TV and try using the main features (changing channels, adjusting sound…)
6 - If the remote does not control the TV properly, try the set up again (from 3) with the next Brand code. If the remote
controls the TV correctly, then the set up is over. If the remote does not work properly with any code, you should try an
automatic search.
B - Automatic Search
1 - Switch on your TV. The automatic search might take a little while (up to 15 minutes).
2 - Press the PROG and TV keys together for a few seconds until the light switches on. When you release the keys the light
should stay on.
3 - Press the PROG key. The light should start blinking. Press the key until the light switches off and slowly starts blinking
again. This means the automatic search has started. The light should stay on and blink every time a new code is entered.
You should be ready to press the 0 key.
4 - As soon as the TV switches off, press the 0 key. The light should start blinking. Press the TV key. The light should switch
off. Note: You should be quick enough not to exceed 1 second before the next code from your remote control (a bit less
than 1 second between turning TV off and time to press key «0»).
5 - As your TV is now switched off, switch it on again using the original remote or with the front keys.
6 - Point the remote towards your TV and try using the main features (changing channels, adjusting sound…). If the remote
does not control the TV properly, try the automatic set up again (from 2). If the remote controls the TV correctly, then
the set up is over.
C - Learning function
If the first two methods have failed, you can still set up the remote through the learning function. The method consists in co-
pying the keys from the original remote onto a key of your choosing on your new universal remote. The learning function can
also be used when Brand code set up and Automatic search only partly function (ineffective special functions, for instance).
1 - Place both the original and the 495398 remotes up to a distance of three centimetres away, facing each other.
2 - Press the PROG key and push down. While keeping the PROG key pressed, press TV key, the warning light comes on.
Release both keys, and the light remains lit.
3 - Press the LEARN key, the warning light briefly switches off, and comes on again.
4 - Press the key you want to program on your new universal remote 495398 (VOL+ for ex.), the light briefly switches off,
and lights up again.
5 - Press the key to copy on the original remote (VOL+ in the ex.), the light blinks twice as soon as the key is recognized. If
the light does not blink, bring both remotes closer and press the key to copy again. If you take too much time to press
on the original key, the light will switch off, and you will have to start again from step 2.
6 - Start again from step 4 with the following keys (VOL -, POWER, 1,2,…).
7 - Once the last key has been recognized, press on LEARN, the light switches off showing that you have left the learning
function.
8 - Point the remote at your TV set and try to press the keys you have just programmed. If the TV set answers badly or does
not answer at all to some keys, start the learning function again for them from step 2. If the remote controls the TV set
correctly, then the set up is over.
Changing batteries
When the remote starts struggling to control the appliances or if it does not work properly, you should try changing
batteries. Thanks to its memory function, you can change batteries withouht losing your settings on the remote.
