1 Overview
The Amino remote control is designed to complement the Amino range of
Set-Top Boxes in terms of style, quality and functionality.
The remote is universal; capable of controlling the basic functions of the
television as well as the Amino Set-Top-Box.

2 Batteries
The remote takes 3 batteries, type AAA, MN2400, UM-4 or LR03.
Alkaline batteries should be used for best performance.
The battery cover is removed by pushing lightly on the recess and sliding
the cover downwards.
The batteries must be inserted in the correct direction.
The battery cover is replaced by sliding the cover upwards until it snaps into
place.

Note
To prevent children from opening the battery compartment, it is
possible to secure the battery compartment cover by use of the screw
provided:
• Remove the battery cover and, using a 0pt Posidrive™
screwdriver, remove the silver screw that is now visible at the
base of the remote control.
• Fit the batteries and replace the battery compartment cover.
• Now re-
fit the screw at the base of the cover.
Do not over-tighten the screw!

3 Remote Modes
The remote control operates in one of two modes, either STB mode or TV
mode.
The mode is selected by pressing the TV or STB mode-select
button at the top of the remote. When pressed, the TV or STB mode–select
buttons illuminate for 1 second to indicate that the mode has been set.
When any function button on the remote is pressed, the TV or STB button
will light to indicate that a command is being transmitted in that mode.
If a button has no valid function in that mode, neither the TV nor STB mode
buttons will light.

4.1 TV Brand Codes
In order for the remote to transmit the correct signals to control the TV, the
remote must be programmed with a 3-digit code corresponding to the type
of TV in use.
This is done in the following way:
• Identify the make of the TV that is in use. E.g. Sony, Magnavox etc.
• Find the TV make listed in the branding table in Appendix A.
• Simultaneously press and hold the TV and OK buttons on the
remote.
• After approximately 2 seconds, the TV button will light.
• Release the TV and OK buttons – the TV button remains illuminated.
• Now enter the 3-digit brand code according to the make of the TV
that is being controlled.
• As each of the digits are entered, the TV button will briefly flash off
and on again
• When the third digit has been entered, the TV button will go out.
• If a TV brand code has been entered that the remote does not
recognize, the TV button will flash rapidly for a second and remain
illuminated. If this happens, re-enter the correct TV brand code.
• Verify that the remote control works with the TV.
Most TV makes have more than one brand code listed in the brand code
table – if this is the case try all brand codes that are listed for that make until
a suitable match is found.
If no brand code is listed for the TV, try brand codes for Philips and NEC
TVs.
