Thank you for purchasing the One For All 4. Now you can control all of your Audio/Video devices with a single remote, while enjoying extra features such as the ability to combine devices in a single Activity Mode, sending multiple commands on a single key press (macros) and being able to customise the remote control to your exact requirements.
To get started with your new remote, the first step is to set it up to control all of your Home Cinema devices.
WATCH TV: Combines 2 or more devices into one mode for TV viewing
WATCH MOVIE: Combines 2 or more devices into one mode for movie viewing
MODE: Scroll through the devices your remote is set up to control
SMART: Access internet and Smart features of your TV or internetconnected device
BACK: Back one step in the Menu of the current device
SimpleSet is a quick and easy way of setting up the remote to control the most popular brands of each device type with only a few key presses, typically in under a minute per device. The first step is to select which device you are going to set up. The following is a list of Device Modes on the remote control, and the Device types that can be set up on that mode:
Device Mode | Type of device |
TV | TV, HDTV, LED, LCD, Plasma, Projector |
STB | Set Top Box, Satellite Receiver, Cable Converter, Freeview, DVB-T, IPTV, Media, Streamer |
BLU | Blu-ray, DVD, DVD Home Cinema |
AUD | Audio, AV Receiver, Amplifier, Tuner, Sound Bar |
For each Device type, there is a list of the top brands, each with a number assigned to it, for example 6 for a Samsung TV. Locate your device and brand in the list that follows:
TV
STB: Sat, Cable, DVB-T
BLU: Blu-ray, DVD
If your brand is not listed in section A, you can set up your device by trying codes individually.
To do this:
Your One For All remote control can learn any function from any other working remote control.
This can be useful if you are missing one or more functions from your original remote control and would like to add them to the ONE FOR ALL.You can learn onto any key except MAGIC or MODE.
You can also learn a complete device if you can't find a code.
To learn, firstly make sure you have all your original remote controls to hand, and that they have working batteries in. To learn functions, the original remote should be approximately 3cm from the OFA remote, pointing towards it as shown below:
Repeat the above procedure for each key you want to delete.
An Activity is a grouping of two or more devices into a single mode based upon what you're doing while using you remote, for example TV and Set Top Box can be combined together into a Watch TV mode. In this mode keys will control only the relevant device, so in this example the Volume keys would control the TV, but the channel keys would control the Set Top Box.
The ONE FOR ALL features 2 Activity Modes; Watch TV and Watch Movie. Each of these modes has a choice of devices to combine. These are:
Combination 1: | TV + STB |
Combination 2: | TV + STB + AUD |
Combination 3: | TV + AUD |
Combination 4: | TV only |
Combination 1: | TV + BLU |
Combination 2: | TV + BLU + AUD |
Combination 3: | TV + AUD |
Combination 4: | TV only |
If you set the default devices for any Activity on the remote (for example a TV and STB for Watch TV) that Activity will be set up automatically on the remote. If you would like to change to a different combination, the procedure is as follows:
To access the Activities, simply press the ACTIVITY key. You can return to controlling by device by using the MODE key.
As the AV key is intended to select the input on your TV and most TVs use a menu to select from a list of inputs, when the AV key is pressed in an Activity, the Menu Up, Down, Left, Right and OK keys temporarily control the TV. If the OK key is pressed, or no key is pressed for ten seconds, these keys will revert to controlling the relevant device for the Activity (e.g. STB in Watch TV Mode).
If you hold down the Power key for 2 seconds in any Activity, the remote will send the Power function for each device contained within that Activity. So for example, holding Power in the default setting for Watch TV will turn both the TV and Set Top Box on or off.
You can program any key on your OFA remote (except MAGIC or MODE) to send multiple commands on a single press –a Macro. This can be useful for controlling multiple devices to put them in a certain state – for instance you could put your TV on HDMI 1 and press Play on the Blu-ray player to start watching a movie. A key programmed with a Macro will send the same Macro regardless of the device mode.
To program a macro, the procedure is as follows:
If you want to remove a macro from a key, please perform the following:
Another handy feature of the ONE FOR ALL is to put Macros on Activities; you could for example program the Watch TV Activity to send a Macro to turn on the TV and Set Top Box when selected.
To do this, simply press the desired Activity key (e.g. Watch TV) step 3 of the procedure "Program a Macro".
If you want to delete a Macro from the Activity, select it during step 3 of "Deleting a Macro".
If you always use one device to control volume, for example your TV or an AV Receiver, you can set up the One For All to always control that device, regardless of which device your remote is controlling. To do this:
If there is one particular device you would like to exclude from the Volume Lock (and control its own volume), you can do this by the following:
To unlock the volume and set every device back to controlling its own volume, the procedure is:
Please note that Volume Lock only applies in Device Mode – Activities are unaffected.
The Evolve features a "NETTV" key for viewing digital TV, streamed over the internet. If your original remote control already had a key for this - for example many newer TVs have a Netflix key - then this key will perform exactly the same as the key on your original remote. However if you did not have a key like this, but still had the ability to watch a streaming service, you can use this key as a shortcut by programming a macro on it. Most AV devices which are connected to the internet, such as Smart TVs or streaming Set Top Boxes have one or more applications they can run to access TV viewing via the internet.
Examples of these would be Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime, BBC iPlayer or similar.
To program the macro, you first need to know the device you use to access the service, and then the sequence of keys you need to press to always bring up the service you prefer, For example, some Panasonic TVs will start Netflix by pressing the Apps key, then Menu Down Twice, and finally the OK key. Or on an Apple TV, the sequence is Menu, Menu Down and OK.
Once you have determined the sequence for your device, follow these steps:
