If the brand of your device is not listed in the SimpleSet feature, you can set up by trying codes individually. To do this firstly locate your brand in the Code List. Brands a listed by device type; TV, Streamer or Audio (Receiver or Soundbar).

Your One For All remote can operate up to three devices. Most keys will control your streaming box, but you can control some functions of your TV and Sound Bar or Audio Video Receiver.
If you set up a TV, the Volume Up, Down, Mute, TV Power and TV Input keys will then control your TV.
The menu ring will light up in yellow to show you are controlling the TV.
If you then also set up an Audio Device such as a Sound Bar or Audio Video Receiver, the remote will then control the Volume Up, Down and Mute of that device. The menu ring will light up in green to show you are controlling the Audio Device.
As the TV Input 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 TV Input key is pressed and a TV is set up, 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 your streamer.
Your One For All remote control can learn any function from any other working remote control. This is a quick and easy one-time setup that allows to control any infrared controlled device you have in your living room. You can even combine multiple devices in one easy to use remote control – for example you could teach the volume keys to control your Sound Bar, the TV Power and Input keys to control your TV, and the rest of the keys to control a Streaming box. To do this, 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:
find* Some remotes send commands differently. If you find a function cannot be learned, try holding down the key on the original remote instead of pressing and releasing.
The ring around the menu directional keys lights up in a number of different colors. During programming the colors will guide you through the setup process, and after you have set up your devices they will indicate which device you are controlling.
When controlling TV, the ring will light up yellow, and when controlling a Soundbar or Audio/ Video Receiver it will be green. The color for the Streamer can change depending on the setup method and the brand of your streaming device. The One For All remote is pre-programmed for a Roku streaming box so the default color is purple, and if you follow the SimpleSet procedure to set up another brand (see SimpleSet), it will change to a color associated with the brand you chose, for example dark green for a Microsoft XBox.
If you set up using a code (see Code Setup), the color for your streamer will be red. You can even choose a color yourself – see the section Choose Color.
Once you have set up your devices, the color of the menu ring reflects the devices you are controlling. For TV functions, the ring is yellow, for Audio green and for your streaming device it can be red, or a brand color if you used the SimpleSet method. However if you’d prefer to choose your own color to represent streamer control, you can. There are dozens of shades to choose from, and the procedure is simple. To perform this:
| 1. | Hold down Channel Up and Channel Down until the ring blinks twice red | |
| 2. | Press the Channel Up key. The ring will light up white and stay lit | |
| 3. | Now each press of the Channel Up key will change the ring to a different color. Pressing Channel Down will take it back to the previous color. There are over 100 different shades to choose from. | |
| 4. Once you have found the color you like, press and hold down the OK key. The ring will blink twice in the current color. From now on, when you are controlling your Streaming box the ring will light up in the color you have chosen. | ||

The Smart Control features 4 App Shortcut keys for viewing streamed content. If your original remote control already had a key for this - for example many Roku streamers will have a Netflix and Amazon key - then this key will perform exactly the same as the key on your original remote.
If your steamer supports these keys, they will function as Netflix, Amazon Video, Hulu and YouTube.
However, if you did not have a key like this, you can use this key as a shortcut to a streaming app by programming a macro on it. You can set a macro to any service supported by an app on your streaming device. So if you would prefer HBO Now or Plex, no problem.
To program the macro, you first need to know the sequence of keys you need to press to always bring up the service you prefer, For example on an Apple TV, the sequence for Netflix is Back (or Home), Menu Down and OK.
Once you have determined the sequence for your device, follow these steps:
Tips
Although all the major features of your One For All remote are covered in this guide, there is even more functionality available online. For example you could set the remote into a “CEC Mode” that may control streamers that cannot be controlled by infrared, or potentially reprogram the input key to always select the same input on your TV.
