Programming The Amino Remote  

The Amino remote control is universal; capable of controlling the basic functions of the television as well as the Amino Set-Top-Box.

Inserting The 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.
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!

Remote Control 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.
In order for the Amino 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 (Sony, Magnavox, etc.).
• Find the TV make listed in the Code List or use the TV Code Finder >
• 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.
