V9 and Below: Reset & Setup Guide

⚠️ Before you start: Many Smart TVs and STBs on the market today were released after the V9 code list was built, so some newer devices may not have a matching code. If a code isn't found for your device, try Code Search or Learning Mode, or you may need to upgrade — V14 is our current release.

Locate Your Devices

Before you begin, figure out what you're working with:

How do you normally change channels — with the TV's own remote, or a separate cable/satellite box remote?

If you change channels with the TV's remote, you have a TV Only setup (no box).

If you change channels with a cable/satellite box remote, you have a Set-Top Box (STB).

If you're not sure, follow the wire running from the back of the TV — it will lead to the box, if there is one.

Why Start With a Reset?

If you're setting up a used, inherited, or resold V9-and-below remote, it likely still has sync data from its previous TV and cable/satellite box. Troubleshooting on top of that old data wastes time and rarely works. Starting with a full Unlock and Reset clears the old sync data and resolves most "nothing responds" issues in one step.

Step 1: Unlock

Press and hold ADD until the light turns solid, then enter 956. The light will blink out.

Repeat this same unlock step for TV and STB.

✔ Confirm the red light flashes each time you enter the code — this confirms it was accepted.

Step 2: Reset

Press and hold ADD until the light turns solid, then enter 954. The light will blink out.

✔ Confirm the red light flashes to confirm the reset was accepted.

Step 3: Program the TV

1️⃣ Press Volume. If it works, your TV is already set — continue to Step 4.

2️⃣ Sync TV: If not, press and hold TV until the light turns solid, then enter your TV's 4-digit code from the code list. The light will turn off.

3️⃣ Test: Test Power and Volume. If they work, the TV is synced. If not, repeat with the next code for your TV brand.

4️⃣ TV Only (skip if you have a cable/satellite box): V9 and below is preset to expect a cable/satellite box, so if you determined in "Locate Your Devices" that you don't have one, press and hold TV until the light turns solid, then enter 970. The light will blink out.

Step 4: Program the STB (skip this step if you're TV Only)

1️⃣ Press Channel. If it changes the channel, setup is complete.

2️⃣ Sync STB: If not, press and hold STB until the light turns solid, then enter your box's 4-digit code from the code list.

3️⃣ Test: Test Power and Channel. If they work, the STB is synced. If not, repeat with the next code for your provider or box.

4️⃣ Lock: press and hold ADD until the light turns solid, then enter 955. The light will blink out.

✔ Confirm the red light flashes to confirm the lock was accepted.

Good to Know

Lock (955) and Unlock (956) exist on V10 and above too, but you shouldn't need them there. Starting from scratch with a full unlock is mainly needed on V9 and below, where used, inherited, or resold remotes commonly carry old sync data from a previous setup.
