Congratulations on purchasing this learninge universal remote control. It contains one of the
largest infrared code librarys obtainable for up to 6 different devices.
FEATURES
The 6 in 1 universal remote control is suitable for almost all common brands of TV’s (labelled
TV on the remote control), DVD players (labelled DVD), digital and analogue satellite
receiver and cable boxes (SAT), video recorders (VCR), tuners (AUX), CD players (CD),
cassette recorders (AUX), amplifiers and other audio device (AUX). It can operate all of the
main functions of your device.
For preprogrammed codes, all you have to do is to choose the device for which you wish to
control (for example TV) and choose one each of the 3-digit code numbers from the brand
code list (for example 001 under Philips TV) until your TV buttons are programmed. After set
up it will remember all the codes even when batteries are removed / changed.
Alternatively, the unit has an “Auto Search” to scan the code library in case you can’t find a
suitable code under the brand, or you can not find your device brand in the list.
The remote control also has a “learn” function to learn a new code from an original remote
control if your the remote control does not have your remote pre-prgrammed
.
Other features include a “Device shift” which allows you to change a device button(s) to
work as another device. E.g. you can set up a TV code in the AUX and then you will have 2
TV device keys. “Volume lock” (for VOL+/VOL-) allows you to control only the volume from
one device. This is very useful for example for controlling amplifier volume in a home theatre,
ie you can control the volume without switching devices. “Write-protection of Device Codes”
can protect the device codes from being inadvertentl y overwritten or deleted

is no button entry within 10 seconds, the set-up mode is automatically
terminated.
4. The LED goes out if the code has been accepted by the remote control. If the
LED flashes twice, that means the code may be wrong, and the remote control

remains in set-up mode. If this occurs you should enter the correct code from the
list again within 10 seconds.
5. Once programmed,. check the function of the keys on A 1012 remote control. If
most keys on your new remote control do not function correctly, try another 3digit device code (e.g. 004…) from the list under the same brand. Repeat steps 3

key will flash, showing the remote control is now in Automatic Search mode.
3. When the correct device has been found, the remote control will send an OFF
signal to the device from the remote control (code scan). When the device (e.g.
TV) switches off, immediately press any key (except SET key) to stop the
Automatic Search.
4. Switch the device on again by pressing the “POW ER” key to check the operation.
Check the functions of other keys on the remote control. If most or all of the keys
do not function correctly, repeat the automatic search again ensuring you press
any key immediately when your device turns off. If most key’s function properly
then the set up is successful. Press the device key (e.g. TV) again to save the
Note 1 .To abort the “Automatic Search”, press any key (except set key). The LED lamp will
go out and the search is terminated.
Note 2. The “Automatic Search” will be terminated automatically after it goes through all

PLAY button, as the remote will go to next code) on the remote control. If most
of the buttons do not function properl y, continue to press the POWER key about
every 1.5 seconds again to search for the next activated code that turns the

A 1012 Dynalink Learning Universal Remote Control
The LEARN function is used to either program codes from a remote control not in the preprogrammed codes list, or to supplement the preprogrammed codes. In learn mode, you
need the original device remote control to learn the codes. Please use fresh batteries for
both the learning remote control and the original.
To learn place the remote controls next to each other as shown below. In learning mode the
remotes must not be more than 30 mm apart, with the remotes in a straight line. The receiver
LED on the A 1012 for learning is next to the transmitter LED.
1. To learn, press and hold the Learn key and press the A 1012 device type button
that you want to learn (e.g. DVD), then release both pressed keys. The DVD
device button on your new remote control blinks and the A 1012 remote control is
now in learning mode for DVD codes.
2. Press and release the A1012 remote button that you want to learn to
(e.g.POWER). The device button now illuminates continuously.
3. Press and hold the source button on your original remote control (e.g.POWER)
until the LED on your new remote control blinks 2 times and illuminates
continuously for 2 seconds, then blinks again. (This means you have learnt the

Note 4. The last learnt signal will overwrite the previous signal stored in that device and
button. About 100 commands can be stored in this remote control and about 40 commands
can be learnt for one device.
