You’ve chosen the One For All Contour TV remote, a controller designed to be a simple, high-quality, and reliable replacement for your television’s original remote. Its purpose is to get you back in control without unnecessary complexity.

This guide is structured to provide direct solutions to the challenges of setting up a new remote. You will find straightforward, step-by-step instructions to sync the remote with your TV and customize its functions to your liking. Before you start, please insert two AAA batteries.

How to Program Your TV Using a Manufacturer’s Code

For the most precise and reliable setup, you should start by using the four-digit code specific to your TV’s brand.

Step 1: Locate Your TV’s Code: You will first need to find your brand in the code list booklet that was included with your remote. Take note of the first four-digit code listed.

Step 2: Prepare Your Equipment: You must ensure your television is powered on and not in standby mode.

Step 3: Enter Programming Mode: On your Contour TV remote, press and hold the SETUP key. You will see the red LED indicator blink once, then twice, before it remains lit.

Step 4: Input the 4-Digit Code: Using the number pad, enter the code you found in step 1. When you enter the final digit, the red LED will blink twice and turn off.

Step 5: Test the Connection: You should now aim the remote at your television and press the POWER key. If the TV turns off, your setup is successful. If it does not, simply repeat this process using the next code in the list for your brand.

A Note on the Setup Key: While the remote has a physical key labeled SETUP, some versions of the manual refer to this as the MAGIC key during programming. For this guide, we will refer to it as the SETUP key as labeled on the device.

How to Setup Contour TV Remote (URC1210) Using Code Search Method

If your TV brand was not in the code list, or if none of the codes worked, you should use the Search Method. This process will scan through all the codes stored in the remote’s memory to find a match.

Step 1: Prepare for the Scan: Turn on your TV. Press the TV device key, then hold the SETUP key until the red LED stays on.

Step 2: Initiate the Search: You will now enter the code 9 9 1. The red LED will blink twice, confirming the remote is in search mode.

Step 3: Begin Scanning: Aim the remote at your TV and press the POWER key once. Now, you must repeatedly press CH+ over and over. With each press, the remote will test a new code. Be patient, as this may take a few minutes.

Step 4: Store the Correct Code: The moment your television turns off, you must immediately press the SETUP key. This will lock in the correct code and complete the setup.

How to Add a Missing Function from Your Old Remote

If your original remote had a specific button that the Contour TV remote lacks, you can copy that function using the Learning feature. You will need your original, working remote for this process.

Step 1: Enter Learning Mode: With your original remote pointing at the Contour TV remote (about 3cm apart), hold the SETUP key until the red LED stays on. Then, enter the code 9 7 5.

Step 2: Choose a Target Key: Press the key on your Contour TV remote where you wish to store the new command. The red LED will begin to flash rapidly.

Step 3: Transmit the Command: Press the corresponding key on your original remote. The Contour TV’s LED will blink twice to confirm it has successfully learned the command.

Step 4: Save Your Customizations: After you have finished learning all the functions you need, press and hold the SETUP key until the red LED blinks twice to save your work.
