How to Program Telefunken TV Replacement URC 1918 Remote

Welcome to your new One For All Telefunken TV Replacement Remote (URC 1918). You have a controller that is specifically designed to be a perfect match for your television, offering a seamless and intuitive user experience. If you’re looking to control a more complex setup, a multi-device remote like the Essence 4 with Combi Control might be a better fit. This guide will walk you through every step required to get your new URC 1918 remote fully operational.

Your first goal is to establish the initial connection between the remote and your TV. For most users, this process is instantaneous. This Telefunken remote is pre-programmed to work with the majority of modern Telefunken TVs right out of the box.

  • Your very first step is to insert two AAA batteries. Once you’ve done that, you should point the remote at your TV and test some of the core functions like Power and Volume. If your television responds correctly, your new remote is already set up and ready to go.

How To Setup Your Telefunken TV Replacement URC 1918 Remote

If your TV did not respond during the instant test, you will need to sync your Telefunken remote using this simple search process.

  1. Prepare Your TV: You must first ensure your television is powered on and is not in standby mode.
  2. Enter Programming Mode: On your new URC 1918 remote, you will press and hold the RED and BLUE keys at the same time until the LED indicator behind the Power key blinks twice.
  3. Initiate the Code Search: You should now aim the remote at your television and press and hold the POWER KEY. As you hold it, the remote will send a new power-off signal to your TV every three seconds.
  4. Confirm the Code: The moment your television turns off, you must immediately release the POWER KEY. The remote’s LED will blink twice, confirming that the correct code has been stored. You should now test the other keys on your new remote to verify full functionality.

How To Correct and Fine-Tuning Your Telefunken TV Replacement Remote

If you find that your URC 1918 remote is mostly working after Stage 1, but a few specific keys are not performing the correct function, you should use this fine-tuning process to correct them individually. For more complex issues where the One For All remote is not working at all, other steps may be required.

  1. Enter Fine-Tuning Mode: With your TV on, you will again press and hold the RED and BLUE keys until the remote’s LED indicator blinks twice.
  2. Select and Hold the Problem Key: You should aim your Telefunken remote at your TV and press and hold the single key that is not working correctly (for example, the MENU key).
  3. Wait for the Correct Function: The remote will now transmit a new command for that specific function every three seconds.
  4. Confirm the Correction: When you see the correct function appear on your TV screen (for example, the main menu opens), you must immediately release the key. The LED will blink twice, confirming the new, correct command has been saved for that specific key. You can repeat this process for any other keys on the remote that need correcting.

How to Teach Your Remote a New Command

Your Telefunken TV Replacement URC 1918 remote has the powerful ability to learn any command from your original, working remote control. This is the ideal tool for adding a function from another device, such as the volume controls for a soundbar, which can be fully programmed using SimpleSet or a dedicated code.

  1. Enter Learning Mode: You will need to hold the GREEN and YELLOW keys until the LED blinks twice. Then, you must press 975.
  2. Select a Target Key: On your URC 1918 remote, press the key where you wish to store the function (e.g., VOL +).
  3. Transmit the Command: Press the corresponding key on your original remote. A double blink from the new remote’s LED confirms the function has been successfully learned.
  4. Save Your Settings: When you have finished, you must press and hold the OK KEY for 3 seconds to save all new commands to your remote.

How to Delete a Learned Command

If you make a mistake, you can easily erase a learned function from any key on the remote.

  1. Hold the GREEN and YELLOW keys until the LED blinks twice.
  2. Press 976.
  3. Press the key you wish to reset twice. The LED will blink twice, confirming the learned command has been erased and the key’s original function has been restored.
Conclusion

You are now fully prepared to set up and customize your One For All Telefunken TV Replacement URC 1918 remote. By following this clear, staged process, you can ensure a perfect sync with your television and even add unique functions, resulting in a superior and more personalized control experience.
