Universal Remote Set-Up for Airtel Digital TV Remote

Ever wonder whether you can use a single remote to use both, your TV as well as your Set-top box? Yes, Now you can. Just use the following steps:

There are 5 basic functions which your new Airtel remote needs to learn about your TV

1. TV Power code

2. TV Mute code

3. AV code

4. TV VOL + code

5. TV VOL – code

Steps for Universal remote setup:

Step 1: Bring Airtel digital TV remote in learning mode. Press and hold ‘’OK + Numeric 2” key for 3 seconds. The LED blinks twice to indicate that your Airtel remote is ready to learn.

Explanation: When you keep your Airtel Digital TV remote and your TV remote in front of each other (preferably on a table or bed to keep them in front of each other), after pressing OK + '2' in STB remote, your remote will blink two times and Red LED will remain on after that. This means that your STB remote is now ready to learn.

Step 2 : Hold the source remote and Airtel remote in front of each other ( 3cm-6m apart).

Step 3: Press & release the key (First on Airtel remote and then on Source remote) which needs to be programmed in Airtel remote.

Example: Press and release the TV Power key on both remotes and release. The Airtel remote blinks twice to indicate a successful learning of ‘TV power code’.

Step 4: Now Press & release other keys ( on both remotes simultaneously) : Mute , AV, Vol +/-.

Step 5: Press "OK" on Airtel remote to store the new information about your TV. The LED will blink twice to indicate successful transfer to knowledge from your current TV remote to the new Airtel remote.

If the Airtel remote blinks four times, it means the learning failed. Go to Step 1 again.

Sometimes it takes two-three attempts to teach your STB remote all the functionality of your TV remote. Nevertheless, keep trying and you would be able to do it.
