Programming The Tata Sky Universal Remote For TV

To do this, press Select button and the 2 button at the same time and hold them for some time until you see the LED light on your universal remote blink twice. Now the universal remote is in learning mode.

Now take your universal remote and place it on a flat surface. Take your TV remote and place it in front of the universal remote such that their LED lights face each other exactly. The distance between the remotes should be 5cm.

Now Press Vol- key on your universal remote. Then, press Vol- on your TV remote. The LED light on your Tata Sky Universal remote will blink twice. This means that the Vol- button on the Tata Sky Universal Remote is configured correctly.

Repeat this procedure to program other buttons on your Tata Sky Universal Remote to make it work with your TV. You can program Volume (up and down) buttons, Power button, Mute button and the Source/Help button (HDMI1, HDMI2 etc.)
