How to quickly bind the remote control from Rostelecom to the TV

When a user connects a television service from Rostelecom, the company provides him with a special set-top box. The set always comes with a control panel. With it, you can perform actions not only on the set-top box, but also on the TV itself. The main thing is to set up the remote correctly.

Interactive TV from Rostelecom and remote control for its control

When connecting TV from Rostelecom, the subscriber must pay for the channel package for a month in advance (from 300 to 1700 rubles), as well as make a payment for the use of equipment - set-top boxes with a remote control (from 100 to 300 rubles, depending on the installment plan - 12, 24 or 36 months). You can also purchase a set-top box right away by paying 3600 rubles.

The device for remote control from Rostelecom, which comes with the set-top box, resembles an ordinary TV remote control - most of the buttons will be familiar to those who often watch TV.

The remote control from the Rostelecom set-top box has practically the same set of buttons as a regular television one, so it can be easily tied to a TV device

Let's consider all the keys in order:

1. Power - turn on or off the set-top box or the TV itself.
2. A / V - switch the video output of the TV.
3. TV - turn on or off the TV.
4. "Menu" - enter the main settings menu.
5. TOGGLE - Toggle menu mode and view mode.
6. BACK - return to the previous step of the settings.
7. Arrows to the right, left, up, down - navigation buttons in the menu.
8. OK - confirmation of the action.
9. "Back", "Forward" - these buttons allow in viewing mode to skip the recording by a certain interval.
10. Play / Pause - button to play and pause the broadcast in viewing mode.
11. CH - switch channels.
12. Mute - mute the sound.
13. Last Channel - switch between the last two channels.
14. Vol - volume control.
15. 0 … 9 - channel numbers.

The only difference between the remote control for the set-top box and the device for controlling the TV is that the first one lacks the green, red, blue and yellow keys. They perform some additional functions, but the user can easily do without them. These options may vary for each TV model. For example, with their help, you can rewind a movie forward or backward while watching.

Hardware setup methods

According to the instructions for the set-top box from Rostelecom, there are two ways to configure the remote control for the remote control:

• automatic enumeration of all codes that the device "remembers";
• manual entry of the required set of numbers.

Automatic selection of keys

If you do not want to select the key for the TV yourself or did not find suitable code options for the TV model, use the search function in the built-in database:

1. Turn on your TV device.

2. Simultaneously press two buttons on the remote control - the big OK and TV button, located in the top row to the left of the power button. Release them after a couple of seconds - during this time the light under the TV key should flash twice. This will mean that the remote has entered the programming (firmware) mode.

   

   Press OK and TV at the same time, and then hold your fingers on them until the light flashes

3. Using the bottom number pad on the remote, enter the three-digit key 991.
4. Press the CH + key located on the right under the circle, which is designed to switch TV channels. Each time it is pressed, the remote will select a code from the code list already built into it.
5. When the TV turns itself off (this will mean that the remote has picked up the correct code), click on OK to save the changes. Double blinking of the familiar light next to the TV button will make it clear that the code has been successfully saved. After that, you can use the remote control, set-top box and TV.

Hand set

You can also bind the console from the set-top box to the TV device by independently entering a certain code, consisting of four digits. When manually entering the key, you must take into account the TV model and manufacturer, as the keys for them will be different. Let's describe the self-configuration procedure:

1. Enter the remote control again into the "state" in which you can change its program settings, that is, using the TV and OK keys, as in the previous instruction.
2. Select the appropriate key for your TV manufacturer using the table below. Type it in the box that appears.

3. If the key is correct, the light under the TV key will blink twice. If it just lit up and did not turn off for a long time, then the entered code did not work - repeat the first two steps.

   

   If the correct key is entered, the LED under the TV button will flash twice

4. After double blinking, check the remote control for operation by adding sound. If the volume level has become higher, it means that the correct key was entered, you can safely control the set-top box and TV device with it. If the volume still does not increase, try a different combination from the table below that is appropriate for your TV manufacturer.

Factory reset

If you need to restore the initial settings of the remote control, reset the parameters as follows:

1. We activate the firmware mode on the control panel again using the TV and OK key combination.

2. In the called menu, we print a key of three digits 977. This command should cause the light under the Power key to flash. It should light up 4 times.

   

   The center power button should flash 4 times

3. After that, we set up the remote again, since all the settings have just been deleted.

Troubleshoot the remote control

There may be a problem with the remote control from the TV set-top box - the same key or even several buttons can give a signal to both the set-top box and the TV, that is, when you press them, two devices start working at once. This happens when the keys of two devices are the same. How to be in such a situation? The problem is solved by changing the code. Follow the instructions:

1. Press and hold two keys - Power (center button in the first row from the top) and OK. Do not release your fingers from the buttons until the LED under the TV key blinks twice.

   

   The light under the power button should flash twice

2. Now write one of the following standard keys yourself: 3224, 3223, 3222, 3221, 3220.
3. After installing the new, already generic code, see if the issue was resolved by checking the problematic keys. If the first code did not work, start entering all the others in turn until the situation is resolved.

If you use Rostelecom's TV services, you do not need to work with two remote controls at once - a television and a set-top box. The latter device immediately replaces the TV remote control, if configured correctly. This can be done by starting the automatic selection of the key (it is different for each TV model), as well as by manually entering the code that corresponds to your TV device. If the remote suddenly stops working, try resetting all settings to factory defaults. If the remote control starts giving a signal to the TV and the set-top box at the same time, then there is a conflict of codes - put the standard key.
