Thompson roc 4306 Operation Manual

The ROC 4306 is a universal remote control (4 in 1). It can replace 4 remote controls thanks to its
4 mode keys TV, VCR/DVD... 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.

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 Switch 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. Press the key (3) that corresponds to the type of

equipment you want to control:

TV: television set,

VCR/DVD: video cassette recorder, DVD player,

DVB-T: DVBT receiver,

SAT: satellite.

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

1 for Thomson).

5. Direct the remote control towards the set and try to

switch it off by pressing the B (2) key.

6. If 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 B (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. Immediately 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

VCR/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.

Method B – 4-digit codes Programming

Before you start programming, you must find the code of
the set to be controlled.
Refer to the list provided with these instructions, page II
of the codes.

1. Switch on the set you want to control.

2. Hold down the S (10) 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. Press the key (3) that corresponds to the type of

equipment you want to control:
TV: television set,
VCR/DVD: video cassette recorder, DVD player,
DVB-T: DVBT receiver,
SAT: satellite.

4. While the indicator is lit, enter the first digit of the

4-digit code proposed for the set to be controlled

(example: 0036 for Thomson). The red indicator then

goes off if the code is correct or flashes, if the code is

not on the list.

5. Direct the remote control towards the set and try to

switch it off by pressing the B (2) key.

6. Should the set not switch off, repeat step 2. Then type

in the next 4-digit code. Try to switch off the set by

pressing B (2) key once. Repeat this procedure by

trying out each of the 4-digit codes.

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.

Method C – Programming by means of

DVB-T: DVBT receiver,

SAT: satellite.

4. Direct the remote control towards the set and try to

switch it off by pressing the B (2) key.

5. If the set you want to control switches off, press

c (14) to memorise the subcode.

6. Should the set not switch off, press B (2) key, as

many times as required (up to 200 times), 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. Proceeding this way

will enable you to see whether the set responds or

not.

7. Immediately 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, begin by entering a 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
VCR/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.

Method D - Automatic code search

With this method, the remote control scrolls through the full

code list by sending an IR signal to the set to be controlled

remotely. Proceed as follows:

1. Check that your equipment is on. If not, switch it on

manually.

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

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

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

3. Release the S (10) key.

4. Press the key corresponding to the type of equipment

(for example TV).

5. Press the PROG+ (15) key once. After a few seconds

the remote control begins to list all the codes included

in the library (around 1 code per second). Press

PROG+ (15) a second time to reduce the speed

of the test (1 code every 3 seconds). As soon as the

device changes channel you must immediately press
c (14) to record the code and stop the listing. If

you have gone past the code, you can go back to the

previous code by pressing PROG- (15) as many

times as necessary (you can go forward by pressing

B

(2) or PROG+ (15). As soon as the device reacts

again, press c (14) to record the code.

Note:

If you want to assign another type of product than those

mentioned on the remote control, begin by entering a 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

VCR/DVD key, begin by entering a satellite code (any satellite,

for example: 0603 for a Thomson satellite receiver) then begin

the procedure.

Method E – Programming for control of a COMBO

(combined TV-VCR, TV/DVD, VCR/DVD, ... set)

Depending on the COMBO group (TV/VCR, VCR/DVD, etc.) and

the make, you will be required to enter a single code for both

devices in the COMBO, or to enter two codes, one code per

device. Consult the separate list to discover this. Before you start

programming, you must find the subcode or code of the

subset to be controlled (television or video recorder).

Refer to the list supplied with this user manual (see page
