IR Sensor
The remote control of the TV uses RF (radio frequency) to send its commands to the TV. With RF, you do not need to point the remote control at the TV.
However, the TV can also receive commands from a remote control that uses IR (infrared) to send commands. If you use such a remote control, always make sure you point the remote control at the infrared sensor on the front of the TV.
Pairing
This remote control uses radio frequency (RF) to send its commands to the TV. Opposite to remote controls using infrared signals, with this remote control you can send commands without pointing at the TV.
With no need to point the remote control, using the keyboard on the back or sending commands from another room - changing the volume or switching channels - is easy. Additionally, the TV can notify you when the battery power of the remote control is low.
Pairing the remote control
For the remote control to communicate with the TV, both TV and remote control should be paired with each other. Once paired, you cannot use the remote control to control another TV.
When you started the initial TV installation, the TV invited you to press the OK key, and by doing so, the pairing was done. When you switch off the TV, the pairing is stored. You can pair up to 5 remote controls with this TV.
Repairing
You can pair another remote control with this TV.
The method to repair a remote control is different for a remote control already paired with another TV or for a remote control that is not paired yet.
