GB
This universal remote control (4 in 1) is compatible with the majority of television sets, DVD 
players and video recorders, as well as digital boxes such as satellite or cable receivers, 
DVBT receivers (Digital Video Broadcast Terrestrial), ADSL decoders, and so on. 
This remote control was programmed in the factory, so that you can use it to control most 
of the sets of the THOMSON group’s make. For this reason, we recommend that prior to 
attempting to programme the remote control, you try it out by means of one of the methods 
described in this user manual. However, fi rst of all, please activate the remote control by 
removing the 2 protective tabs from the 2 CR 2032 batteries.
Please keep this guide along with the code list (provided separately), so that you can subse-
quently programme your remote control for use with other sets.
1: On/Standby or Standby only, depending on the 
 
equipment being used.
2 Mode keys: Select the device to control (TV, DVD, 
 
…).
3 AV: For selecting an external source (SCART, 
 
HDMI,
...).
4 (Mute): Switches the selected appliance sound off.
5 P+, P-: Channel Up and Channel Down buttons.
6 V-, V+: Increases (+) or decreases (-) the volume of 
 
the selected device.
7:
Allow you to navigate the menus
horizontally and verticaly.
8 OK: Confi rms a selection.
9 (play): Play a DVD disc DVD*.
10 (rewind): Goes backward (DVD)*.
11: 
Fast forward (DVD)*.
12 (record): To record, press the RECORD key twice.
13 (pause): Suspends play and stops on an image*.
14 (stop): Stop the disc (DVD)*.
15 EPG: Displays information of the selected 
 
appliance. / Shift + EPG: Electronic
Program
Guide.
16 Menu: Turns on the menu of the selected 
 
product / Shift + : Teletext On.
17 Exit: Turn off the menu of the selected 
 
product / Shift + : Teletext Off.
18 Numeric keys 0 - 9: 
 
These keys have the same functions as
those of your original remote and are
also used to enter the codes for different
products.
19 -/--: In connection with the numeric keys, 
 
this button allows you, with some
equipment, to select directly channels
with 2 digits.
20 Setup / Shift: 
 
Allows you to program your remote
before the fi rst use. It also allows you
to access to secondary functions of certain
A/V appliances (Shift). Press and release
the „Setup“ key followed by the function
key you want.
* The coloured buttons can be used to select categories 
when teletext is activated, and specifi c functions 
depending on the make.
The keys
Testing the remote control before
you programme it
1. Turn on the product you want to control.
2. Press the Mode key that corresponds to the type of 
 product you want to control:
 TV: television set, DVD: DVD player, SAT: satellite 
 receiver, 
AUX
: any other equipment.
3. Direct the remote control towards your equipment 
 and try to switch it off by simply pressing the 
 key 
G
. If the device does not turn off, you must
 program the remote control using one of the 
 methods A, B, C or D described hereafter.
Note 1: Except for the TV key, the DVD, SAT and 
AUX
mode keys can be programmed to control
a device other than that indicated on the key. It is 
therefore possible, for example, to allocate SAT 
mode to the DVD key. You must enter the code 
corresponding to the manufacturer and the device by 
using one of the methods indicated in this manual.
However, method D (automatic search for a code) 
will greatly simplify the task for you. In this case it 
is only necessary to enter a code from the list that 
corresponds to the type of device, for example: 0603 
for a Thomson satellite receiver) and then to run the 
automatic search procedure. The remote control will 
then test all the codes automatically until it fi nds those 
that control the receiver.
Note 2: To control 2 devices of the same type and the 
same brand (2 Thomson AUXs, 2 Thomson satellite 
receivers, ...) ensure fi rst that these two devices are not 
set to react to the same sub code, they will require one 
sub code for one and a different sub code for the other 
(i.e., codes A and B with Thomson devices). Once you 
have checked this, successively program 2 separate 
mode keys using method D.
Programming
the remote control
Method A – Fast programming
with 1-digit subcode
Before you start programming, you must fi nd the 
subcode
of the set to be controlled. Entering a
subcode lets the remote control test a predefi ned list of 
codes. Refer to the list provided with these instructions, 
page I of the subcodes.
1. Switch on the set you want to control.
2. Hold down the SETUP key until the key that 
corresponds to the last mode you selected blinks 
and then remains lit (the indicator light remains on 
for a few seconds to give you the time to proceed 
with the following steps. The indicator lamp fl ashes 
to signal that this time is almost up, and then 
goes off).
3. Press the key that corresponds to the type of
equipment you want to control:
TV: television set, DVD: DVD player, SAT: satellite
receiver, cable, DVBT, ADSL, AUX: any other 
appliance.
4. While the indicator is lit, type in the subcode
(example: 1 for THOMSON).
5. Direct the remote control towards the set and try to
switch it off by pressing the key G.
6. If the set you want to control switches off, press OK
to memorise the code.
7. Should the set not switch off, press key G repeatedly,
until the set switches off. Between two key presses, 
leave enough time for the key corresponding to the 
selected mode enough time to light up again (about 
1 second). Proceeding this way will enable you to 
see whether the set responds or not.
8. Immediately upon the switching-off of the set to be
controlled, press OK to store the code.
Check of the programming:
In principle, your set is ready for receiving the remote
control commands.
Check your remote control for proper functioning by 
performing the test described on page 2.
Method B – 4-digit codes
programming
Before you start programming, you must fi nd the code 
of the set to be controlled.
Refer to the list provided with these instructions, page 
II of the codes.
1. Switch on the set you want to control.
2. Hold down the SETUP key until the key that 
corresponds to the last mode you selected blinks 
and then remains lit (the indicator light remains on 
for a few seconds to give you the time to proceed 
with the following steps. The indicator lamp fl ashes 
to signal that this time is almost up, and then goes 
off).
