FAQs

It is possible to add missing functions via a procedure known as “Key Magic.”

If you provide the relevant information via this web form we will supply a 5 digit code to be programmed for each missing function and the programming procedure.


To use the Key Magic procedure, please follow the instructions outlined below:

  1. Hold the Setup key until the light blinks twice.
  2. Enter 994, the light blinks twice.
  3. Press the Setup key once and let go.
  4. Enter the 5 digit function code of the required function.
  5. Press the One For All key you wish to assign the function to.
  6. The light blinks twice and that key should now function.

To program the basic code on your Contour remote, please follow the instructions mentioned below:

  1. Press and hold down the SETUP key until the red LED underneath the POWER key blinks twice (the red LED will blink once then twice).
  2. Enter the four-digit device code using the number keys. The red LED should blink twice.

If you are experiencing this issue, please perform the following procedure:

1. Hold down the SETUP key until the red LED under the POWER key blinks twice
2. Press 976 (the red LED should blink twice when you press the 6)
3. Press the number 1 twice –on the second press the LED should blink twice

Now try the remote with your TV and you should find the digit key is now sending the correct signal. 

To reset your remote to the manufacturer's setting please use the following procedure:

  1. Remove a battery from the remote and press a button with it removed
  2. Reinsert the battery – the LED should blink twice
  3. Press the digits 2 and 8 simultaneously within 6 seconds – the LED should blink twice
  4. Enter the code 9 8 1, the LED will blink 4 times
  5. The remote is now reset to its factory defaults.

You can now setup your remote again.

To move a particular key within the same device mode:

  1. Press and hold the SETUP key until the light blinks twice. 
  2. Enter code 994, the light will blink twice.
  3. Press the key to move once.
  4. Press the key to overwrite once, the light will blink twice.

If you would like to delete a learned function that you no longer require, please follow the procedure outlined below:

  1. Press and hold down the SETUP key until the red LED underneath the POWER key blinks twice (the red LED will blink once then twice).
  2. Press 9 7 6.
  3. Press the key to be deleted (e.g. red key) twice.

Additional Information:

  • You can delete a learned key by overwriting it with a new learned function.
  • If a learned function used in a macro is subsequently deleted, the macro will revert to sending the keys original function.

Your One For All remote is capable of copying functions straight from the original remote control that came with your device.

To use the Learning feature, please follow the instructions below:

  1. Press and hold down the SETUP key until the red LED underneath the POWER key blinks once then twice.
  2. Press 9 7 5
  3. Press and release the key you want to learn a function onto (for example the TV Power key) – The red LED will blink continuously.
  4. Press and release the corresponding key on the original remote, for example Power.
  5. The red LED will blink twice to indicate the key has been learned correctly.
  6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each key you want to learn – remember you can learn from multiple remotes, but only one function per key.
  7. When you learned all the functions you require, press and hold the SETUP key until the red LED blinks twice.

Please note:

  • If the red LED shows one long blink at step 6, the function was not learned correctly, please try again from step 3.
  • If you find one or more keys don’t work properly after set up, you can re-enter the learning mode at any time by repeating the procedure from step 1.

A long blink indicates that the remote failed to learn the signal from the original remote.

There could be a number of reasons for this.

  1. Make sure the original remote that came with the device is in working order, by testing it on your device. If it is not responding, it might not be working correctly.
  2. Make sure you are not performing the learning procedure under bright lighting or in bright sunlight as this can interfere.
  3. Ensure that the two remotes are approximately 2 to 3 cm apart, and that the transmitting end of the original remote is facing the remote. Sometimes holding the key on the original remote down for slightly longer may help, and conversely sometimes quickly pressing and releasing the key on the original works better.
  4. The batteries used should have sufficient power. Even though the remote works when using it to switch on and off devices, it might not have enough power to be able to learn additional functions. Please replace a new set of batteries
  5. It is also possible that the memory on your remote control has reached the maximum capacity due to too many learned or other customized functions. Please remove some existing learned keys. 
  6. Some manufacturer’s remotes use a different signal, or infra-red protocol, that the One For All remote cannot reproduce. These are commonly signals that use a higher frequency. Radio frequency remotes cannot be learned from, because these signals are not infra-red based.
  7. If you have the OFA8 URC 2981 remote control, the learning feature is only applicable for the latest chip version R03.

Yes, your Contour is capable of creating Macros.

You can program your remote to issue a sequence of commands at the press of one button.
To use the Macro feature, please follow the instructions below:

  1. Press and hold the SETUP key until the light blinks twice.
  2. Enter the code 995.
  3. Press the relevant key where the Macro will be stored.
  4. Enter the sequence of keys that you would like to be issued.
  5. Press and hold the SETUP key to store the Macro. The light will blink twice to confirm.

In order to delete a macro, please follow the instructions below:

  1. Hold the Setup key down until the light blinks twice.
  2. Press 995, the light should blink twice.
  3. Press the key you assigned the Macro to.
  4. Hold the Setup key down to delete the Macro, the light will blink twice.

Our remote controls always send out the standard duration of a signal, which enables most Macros. In your case, you need to keep the key pressed for a few seconds, which we are unable to reproduce into our Macros.

Unfortunately, there is no solution for this. Our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
