The One For All Zapper+ (URC 6820) takes a refreshingly different approach. With its minimalist design, large comfortable buttons, and a unique focus on customization, this remote isn’t about overwhelming you with options. For users who prefer a full suite of features like programmable macros and app shortcuts, a more advanced model like the One For All Smart Control may be a better choice. The Zapper+ is about empowering you to create the simple, perfect controller for your specific needs.
Find Your ONE FOR ALL Remote Control Codes
This guide will walk you through its unique, learning-first philosophy, as well as the more traditional setup methods. The goal is to help you build a remote that controls your TV, Set-Top Box, and Audio devices in a way that feels completely intuitive. Before starting, please insert two AAA batteries and make sure your original remotes are on hand with fresh batteries as well.
The Primary Method: Building Your Remote with Learning
The Zapper+ is designed with the Learning feature as its main strength. This allows you to hand-pick every single function from your existing remotes, ensuring every button works exactly as you expect. This is the most powerful way to set up your Zapper+.
- Step 1. Prepare for Cloning: Position your original remote control pointing directly at the front of the Zapper+, about 3cm away3.
- Step 2. Enter Learning Mode: Press and hold the AV and EXIT keys together until the red LED blinks twice.
- Step 3. Select a Target Key: Press the key on the Zapper+ that you wish to program (for example, Volume +). The red LED will begin to blink continuously.
- Step 4. Transfer the Command: Press the corresponding key on your original remote (e.g., Volume +). The red LED on the Zapper+ will blink twice to confirm it has successfully learned the command.
- Step 5. Repeat and Save: Continue this process for every key you wish to program. You can learn functions from multiple remotes onto this one device. When you have finished, press and hold the OK key until the red LED blinks twice to save all learned functions and exit the mode.
How to Use Simpleset Method to Program your Zapper+ Remote
This feature uses single-digit codes to quickly program popular device brands.
- Turn on your device and point the Zapper+ at it.
- Enter the correct setup mode by pressing and holding a key combination until the LED blinks twice:
- TV: Hold TV Power and STB Power.
- STB: Hold Volume + and Channel +.
- Audio Device: Hold Volume – and Channel –.
- Consult the brand list in your manual, find your brand’s digit, and hold it down. The remote will send a power command every 3 seconds.
- Once your device turns off, release the digit immediately to store the code.
How To Program Zapper+ Remote Using Direct Code Entry
This is the manual method for programming your remote using four-digit codes from the manual’s code list.
- Locate your brand and its four-digit code in the manual.
- Enter setup mode using the same key combinations as in the SimpleSet method above.
- Enter the four-digit code. The red LED will blink twice.
- Test the Power (or Mute for audio devices) key to see if your device responds. If not, repeat the process with the next code in the list.
What Happens after Your Zapper+ Remote Setup
The remote intelligently assigns key functions after you’ve programmed your devices:
- If you set up a TV and a Set-Top Box, most keys will control the STB, but the TV Power, Volume, Mute, and AV keys will automatically control your TV.
- If you add an Audio device, the Volume Up, Down, and Mute keys will then automatically control that audio device instead. For remotes that offer more granular control, many models allow you to use a Volume Lock feature to permanently assign audio control to one device, regardless of programming order.
Why does the manual recommend the Learning feature first?
The Zapper+ is designed around the idea of perfect customization. Starting with the Learning feature allows you to ensure every key performs the exact function you want, using commands from the original remotes you are already familiar with.
I set up my TV, Cable Box, and Soundbar. Which device will the volume keys control?
The Zapper+ automatically assigns volume control to the last audio device programmed. In this case, the Volume Up, Down, and Mute keys will control your soundbar.
There are two power buttons. What is the difference?
The top left key is dedicated to your TV Power. The top right key controls your Set-Top Box. Furthermore, if you have an audio device programmed, holding the STB Power key for three seconds will send a power command to both the STB and the audio device.
My original remote is broken. Can I still set this remote up?
Yes. While you won’t be able to use the Learning feature, you can still gain full control of your devices by using either the SimpleSet (Method B) or the Setup by Code (Method C) options.
How do I delete a function I programmed using Learning?
To delete a single learned function, you can press and hold the Guide and Menu keys until the red LED blinks twice, then press the key you want to erase twice.
Conclusion
The One For All Zapper+ is more than just a universal remote; it’s a customizable toolkit. By prioritizing the Learning feature, it invites you to build a controller that is a perfect, simplified reflection of your needs. Whether you choose to meticulously craft your layout command by command or use the rapid SimpleSet feature, the result is a comfortable, intuitive, and powerful way to manage your home entertainment.
