1
This universal remote control (2 in 1) is compatible with the majority of television sets, video
cassette recorders, DVD players and satellite recievers as well as DVBT sets (Digital Video
Broadcast Terrestrial) controlled by infra-red commands.
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, first of all, you must install 2 batteries (AAA) in the
remote control.
Please keep this guide along with the code list (provided separately), so that you can
subsequently programme your remote control for use with other sets.
1On/Standby or Standby only, depending on the
equipment being used.
2Mode keys. Select the device to control (TV, VCR, …).
3Activation and use of teletext (Videotext).
4Selection of channels, input of digital values,
channels with 2 digits, external TV/VIDEO sources
(AV connectors).
5Zapping and commands or the muting of sound.
6Programming of the remote control.
7Activation and use of menus (display, deletion,
choice, confirmation).
8Use of teletext (Fastext) or functions specific to
certain devices.
9Operating a video cassette recorder (VCR) or a
DVD player (DVD).
Note: depending on the actual devices, manufacturers
and year of manufacture, the functions available
will vary.
DVBT (Digital Video Broadcast Terrestrial): for those
countries concerned, you can control a DVBT set by
programming separate codes by using the VCR/DVD
mode key.
The keys
Testing the remote control
before programming
Programming
the remote control
1. Switch on the set you want to control.
2. Press the key that corresponds to the type of
equipment you want to control:
TV: television set,
VCR/DVD: video recorder - DVD player.
3. Direct the remote control towards the TV set and
try to switch it off by simply pressing the key B. If
the device does not turn off, you must program the
remote control using one of the methods A, B, C
or Ddescribed hereafter.
Note 1: The VCR/DVD mode key can be
programmed to control another device other
than indicated on the key. It is therefore
possible, for example, to allocate your
Satellite mode to the VCR/DVD mode 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 finds those that control
the receiver.
Note 2: To control 2 devices of the same type and the
same brand (2 Thomson VCRs, 2 Thomson satellite
receivers, ...) ensure first 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.
Method A – Fast programming
with 1-digit subcode
Method B – 4-digit codes
programming
Before you start programming, you must find the
subcode of the set to be controlled.
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 Skey 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 flashes 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,
VCR/DVD: video recorder - DVD player.
4. While the indicator is lit, type in the subcode
(example: 1for THOMSON).
5. Direct the remote control towards the set and try
to switch it off by pressing the key B.
6. If the set you want to control switches off, press
OK to memorise the subcode.
Note: If during step 3 you pressed the VCR/DVD key,
with identical sub-codes being used to control a VCR or
DVD player, pressing the Bkey will turn off the type of
device you have chosen to control.
7. Should the set not switch off, press key B
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 subcode.
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.
Before you start programming, you must find 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 Skey until the key that corresponds
to the last mode you selected blinks and then

How to retrieve
a programmed code
Method C – Programming by means
of code retrieval
Method D - Automatic
code search
Should none of the codes work, you still have the
possibility of retrieving the appropriate code without
having to perform any input.
1. Switch on the set you want to control.
2. Hold down the Skey until the key that corresponds
to the last mode you selected blinks and then
remains lit.
3. Press the key that corresponds to the type of
equipment you want to control:
TV: television set,
VCR/DVD: video recorder - DVD player.
4. Direct the remote control towards the set and try to
switch it off by pressing the key B.
5. If the set you want to control switches off, press
OK to memorise the subcode.
6. Should the set not switch off, press key Bas
many times as required (up to 200 times), 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.
7. 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.
Try out other remote control keys to find out the range
of functions you can control. If you think that not all
of the keys are active, repeat the procedure of this
programming method to find out the code supporting a
wider range of features.
With this method, the remote control scrolls through
the full code list by sending an IR signal to the set to be
controlled remotely. Proceed as follows:
1. Check that your equipment is on. If not, switch it
on manually.
2. Hold down the Skey 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 flashes to signal
that this time is almost up, and then goes off).
3. Release the Skey.
4. Press the key corresponding to the type of
equipment (for example TV).
5. Press the PROG
p
or standby Bor PLAY
(VCR only) key. After a few seconds, the remote
control begins to scroll through the whole code
list included in the library (at a rate of roughly 1
code per second). Press the PROG
p
key once
again to slow down the test speed (1 code every
3 seconds). As soon as the set changes channels,
you must press OK to save the code and stop the
remote control scrolling through the list. If you do
not react quickly enough, you can go back to the
previous code by pressing PROG
q
or REW
(VCR only) as many times as necessary (you can
go forward by pressing B, PROG
p
or PLAY
(VCR only) if you have gone back too far). As
soon as the set responds again, press OK to save
the code.
It may be useful to retrieve the code programmed in
the remote control.
1. Hold down the Skey until the key that corresponds
to the last mode you selected blinks and then
remains lit.
2. Press the key that corresponds to the type of
equipment you want to control:
TV: television set,
VCR/DVD: video recorder - DVD player.
3. Press the Skey briefly, so that the last mode
selected blinks once.
4. Press the numbered keys in ascending order (0 to
9) until the selected mode blinks once.
5. The number that caused the selected mode to
blink is the first of the four numbers that make up
your code. Make a note of it below.
6. Repeat step 4 to find out the other numbers of the
code.
7. When the fourth number has been found, the
indicator light for the selected mode goes out.
6. Should the set not switch off, repeat step 2. Then
type in the next 4-digit code. Try to switch off the
set by pressing key B once. Repeat this procedure
by trying out each of the 4-digit codes.
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.

the programming
- For a television set: turn on the set and press, for
example, 2to change channels.
- Video recorder: load a tape and then press PLAY
(B).
- DVD player: load a DVD and then press PLAY (B).
Try other remote control keys to find out the range of
functions you can control. If you think that not all of
the keys are active, try the programming Method
Bor C.
When you have retrieved the code of your
set, jot it down so that you can use it
whenever needed.
After battery replacement, you’ll have to
programme the remote control again.

Method E – Programming for control of
a COMBO (combined TV-VCR,TV/DVD,
VCR/DVD, … set)
Depending on the COMBO group (TV/VCR, VCR/
DVD, etc.) and the make, you will be required to enter
a single code for both devices in the COMBO, or to
enter two codes, one code per device. Consult the
separate list to discover this.
Before you start programming, you must find the
subcode or code of the subset to be controlled
(television or video recorder). Refer to the list supplied
with this user manual (see page subcodes or codes).
1. Switch on the COMBO you want to control.
2. Hold the Skey down until the key corresponding to
the last selected mode blinks and then remains lit.
