THOMSON ROC 6306 - User Manual

To Next Page

The ROC 6306 is a universal remote control (6 in 1). It can replace 6 remote controls thanks to its

6 mode keys TV, DVD, VCR,... It is compatible with the majority of television sets, video cassette

recorders, DVD players, satellite and cable receivers as well as terrestrial digital television (DVBT),

amplifiers and other audio equipment provided they are controlled by infra red signals.

This remote control has been factory programmed to allow you to use it immediately with the

majority of Thomson Group devices.We therefore advise you to try it before beginning to program it.

If programming is necessary, follow one of the methods A, B, C, D or E that are given in this manual.

But first, install 2 batteries (AAA) in the remote control.

Keep these instructions and the separate list of codes in a safe place so that you can later reprogram

your remote control.

2 - Te sting the remote control

before programming

1. T urn on the device that you wish to control.

2. P ress the key corresponding (3) to the type of device

to control:

TV: television set,

DVD: DVD player,

VCR: video cassette recorder,

DVB-T: DVBT receiver,

SAT: satellite,

AUX: other devices.

3. P oint the remote control at the device you wish to

control and try to turn it off using the

(2) key.

I f the device does not turn off, you must program the

remote control using one of the methods A, B, C or

D as described below.

1 - Description of keys

3 - Programming

the remote control

Before you start programming, you must find the subcode of

the set to be controlled.

Refer to the list provided with these instructions, page I of the

codes.

1 S witch on the set you want to control.

2. Hold down the S (10) key until the red indicator

lamp (1) remains lit (the indicator light remains on

for a few seconds to give you the time to proceed with

the following steps. The indicator lamp flashes when

this time is almost up, and then goes off).

3. P ress the key (3) that corresponds to the type of

equipment you want to control:

TV: television set,

DVD: DVD player,

VCR: video cassette recorder,

DVB-T: DVBT receiver,

SAT: satellite,

AUX: other devices.

4. W hile the indicator is lit, type in the subcode (example:

1 fo

Thomson).

5. D irect the remote control towards the set and try to

switch it off by pressing the

(2) key.

6. I f the set you want to control switches off, press

c (14) to memorise the subcode.

7. If the product doesn’t turn off, press the

(2) key

repeatedly until the set switches off. Wait approximately

one second between key presses to give the red

indicator lamp (1) enough time to go off and

light up again. This will allow you to see whether the

product responds or not.

8. I mmediately upon the switching-off of the set to be

controlled, press c (14) to store the subcode.

Note:

If you want to assign another type of product than those

mentioned on the remote control (with the exception of the

TV button which can only be used to control a television set),

begin by entering the code that corresponds to the product you

want to programme (a 4-digit code that you will find in the code

booklet – see method B).

Example: if you want to control a satellite receiver with the

DVD key, begin by entering a satellite code (any satellite, for

example: 0603 for a Thomson satellite receiver) then begin

the procedure.

Check of the programming:

In principle, your set is ready for receiving the remote control

commands. Check your remote control for proper functioning by

performing the test described on page 3.

Usage Features:

Testing the Remote Control Before Programming:

Turn on the device you want to control.
Press the corresponding mode key (3) for your device (TV, DVD, VCR, DVB-T, SAT, AUX).
Point the remote at the device and try to turn it off using the On/Standby key (2). If the device doesn't turn off, programming is required.

Programming Methods:

Method A – Fast Programming with 1-digit Subcode:
1. Switch on the device.
2. Hold down the S key (10) until the red indicator lamp (1) remains lit.
3. Press the mode key (3) for your device.
4. While the indicator is lit, enter the 1-digit subcode (found in the provided code list).

6. If the device switches off, press the Mute/OK key (14) to memorize the subcode.
7. If it doesn't switch off, repeatedly press the On/Standby key (2) until it does, waiting approximately one second between presses.
8. Immediately press the Mute/OK key (14) to store the subcode. Note: For assigning a different product type to a mode key (e.g., controlling a satellite receiver with the DVD key), start by entering a 4-digit code for that product before beginning the procedure.
Method B – 4-digit Codes Programming:
1. Switch on the device.
2. Hold down the S key (10) until the red indicator lamp (1) remains lit.
3. Press the mode key (3) for your device.
4. While the indicator is lit, enter the first digit of the 4-digit code (from the provided code list).
5. Point the remote at the device and try to switch it off using the On/Standby key (2).
6. If it doesn't switch off, repeat step 2 and enter the next 4-digit code, trying to switch off the device after each code.
Method C – Programming by Means of Code Retriever:
1. Switch on the device.
2. Hold down the S key (10) until the red indicator lamp (1) remains lit.
3. Press the mode key (3) for your device.
4. Point the remote at the device and try to switch it off using the On/Standby key (2).
5. If the device switches off, press the Mute/OK key (14) to memorize the subcode.
6. If it doesn't switch off, repeatedly press the On/Standby key (2) (up to 200 times) until the device switches off, waiting approximately one second between presses.
7. Immediately press the Mute/OK key (14) to store the subcode.
Method D – Automatic Code Search:
1. Ensure the device is on.
2. Hold down the S key (10) until the red indicator lamp (1) remains lit, then release S (10).
3. Press the mode key (3) for your device.
4. Press the PROG+ key (15) once. The remote will begin listing codes (about 1 code per second).
5. Press PROG+ (15) a second time to slow down the test (1 code every 3 seconds).
6. As soon as the device changes channel or reacts, immediately press the Mute/OK key (14) to record the code. If you pass the code, use PROG- (15) to go back.
Method E – Programming for Control of a COMBO Set:
1. Switch on the COMBO device.
2. Hold down the S key (10) until the red indicator lamp (1) remains lit.
3. Press the TV key (3), then follow one of the programming methods (A, B, C, or D).
4. If a second code programming is needed, repeat steps 2 and 3.

Retrieving a Programmed Code:

Hold down the S key (10) until the red indicator lamp (1) remains lit.
Press the mode key (3) for your device.
Briefly press S (10) again; the red indicator lamp (1) flashes once.
Press the number keys (0-9) in ascending order until the red indicator lamp (1) flashes once. This digit is the first number of the 4-digit code.
