FAQs

Only if it is a picked function, not if you have programmed a real-time macro on it.

The NETTV key is for viewing digital TV, streamed over the internet.
If your original remote control already had a key for this, for example, many newer TVs have a Netflix key, then this key will perform the same as the key on your original remote.

However, if you did not have a key like this, but still had the ability to watch astreaming service, you can use this key as a shortcut by programming a macro on it.
Most AV devices which are connected to the internet, such as Smart TVs or streaming Set Top Boxes have one or more applications they can run to access TV viewing via the internet.
Examples of these would be Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime, BBC iPlayer or similar.

A real time macro records the same amount of seconds a menu on your original device takes to come up.
For example, if the menu on your TV takes 3 seconds to come up, the One for All Remote will retain this information.
A regular macro sends out multiple functions to the selected devices, but it does not record real time.
You can only program a real time macro on the NETTV key. You can program a regular macro on the other keys.

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

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

  1. Use the MODE key to select the relevant device key.
  2. Hold down the MAGIC key until the light blinks once and then twice and stays lid. 
  3. Enter the code 994, the light blinks twice. 
  4. Press the Magic key once
  5. Enter the code of the required function.
  6. Press the One For All key you wish to assign the function to. 
  7. The light blinks twice and that key should now function.

Please note:

  • The MODE key, CombiControl key and Magic key cannot be programmed.
  • The functions listed here might not all be compatible with your specific make and model. Programming a function that does not exist on the original remote control might cause malfunction or damage for which One For All cannot be held responsible.

On the Evolve, the STB key should be used for programming the Freeview.

On the Evolve remote, you can use the BLU or AUD key for your DVD-Home Cinema.
After programming the set-up code, please test the volume keys.
Also please check if the 1-0 keys change the inputs and if play and stop work correctly with the DVD-Home Cinema.

Infrared is the technology which is used in all our One For All remote controls. Infrared uses pulses of infrared light to transmit data from one device to another. This Infrared light is not visible for the human eye. The Infrared technology has a signal range of about 10 yards and requires line-of-sight.

Radio frequency (RF) is a data transmission technology which is based on electromagnetic radio waves. The advantage of RF is that this technology has a wider signal range, which can be up to 30 yards. RF can go through walls and there is no need to point the remote to the device, as it does not require to be in line-of-sight.

Bluetooth (which is a type of RF) is an open wireless technology standard for transmitting data over short distances. It uses radio waves on a particular frequency for data transmission from device to device. A variety of digital devices use Bluetooth, including MP3 players, smartphones and peripheral devices, laptops, etc.

Since our One For All remotes control devices via Infrared, it is not possible to use them for RF or BT controlled TV's or devices.

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

  1. Hold down MAGIC until the light blinks once and then twice and stays on
  2. Enter the code 976, the light will blink twice
  3. Press the MODE key to select the relevant device key
  4. Press the learned key twice, the device key will blink twice
  5. If there is another key to be deleted, please repeat steps 1 to 4. 
  6. The key that has been cleared will now perform the default function.

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
  • If you would like to reset all learned keys in one device mode, after step 3 hold the Magic key until the light blinks twice

To reset your remote to the manufacturer's setting, please follow the procedure outlined below:

  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 and stays on.
  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.


N.B. The procedure must be performed within 6 seconds of applying power to the remote, that is, inserting batteries. After 6 seconds of Power it will not activate.

If you would like to reset a device mode, please use the following procedure:

  1. Hold down the MAGIC key, the light will blink twice.
  2. Enter the code 992.
  3. Select the device you wish to reset using the MODE key.
  4. Press MAGIC key twice, the light will blink twice to confirm.
  5. The device key has now been deactivated.

Additional Information:
Mode reassignment erases all Key Moved and learned keys for that mode.

Yes, it is possible, as long as the remote supports 2 or more devices.

Another device mode will have to be changed into the required device mode.

To do this please use the procedure below:

  1. Hold down Magic until the LED stays on.
  2. Enter the code 992, the light will blink twice.
  3. Using MODE, select the Source Device key.
  4. Press MAGIC once.
  5. Using the MODE key, select the device key that will be changed.
  6. Press MAGIC once, the light will blink twice.

It is possible to lock the volume on your Essence remote to a single device key (for example: the volume control could be linked only to a TV). This means that when the remote is in DVD or SAT mode and the volume keys are pressed, the TV volume will still be activated.

If you would like to have the volume locked to a particular device, please follow the procedure outlined below:

  1. Hold down MAGIC until the LED stays on. 
  2. Enter code 993, the light blinks twice.
  3. Press the relevant device you wish to assign volume control to
  4. Press MAGIC once, the light will blink twice.

To move a particular key within the same device mode:

  1. Press and hold the MAGIC key until the LED stays on.
  2. Enter code 994, the light will blink twice.
  3. Using MODE to select the relevant device. 
  4. Press the key to move once.
  5. Press the key to overwrite once, the light will blink twice.

To move a particular key from one device mode to another:

  1. Press and hold the MAGIC until the LED stays on.
  2. Enter code 994, the light will blink twice.
  3. Using MODE to select the relevant device.
  4. Press the key to move once
  5. Using MODE select the relevant device where the key will be moved.
  6. Press the key to overwrite once, the light will blink twice.

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. Hold down MAGIC until the light blinks once and then twice and stays on
  2. Enter code 975, the light will blink twice.
  3. Press the MODE key to select the relevant device key
  4. Press the key on the One For All where you would like to place the learned function, the device LED will flash rapidly.
  5. Press and release the key on the original remote control that you wish to learn. The LED will blink twice to indicate the key has been learned correctly.
  6. Press and hold the MAGIC key to store the learned function until the light blinks twice.

Additional Information:

  • It is possible to learn up to 100 functions on this remote.
  • To learn multiple keys, you can repeat steps 4 and 5 instead. When you have finished learning all of the required functions, press and hold MAGIC to store.
  • A time-out will occur if no signal is received from the original remote within 5 seconds. To retry, press the key to be learned on again.
  • It is possible to learn onto an empty device mode. The functions from this learned only device mode can also be used in Macros and Volume lock.
  • One long blink indicates the remote did not capture the signal correctly.
  • Two long blinks indicate the memory is full.

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.
