How Do You Program A Verizon Fios Remote Control?
It is very easy to program Verizon Fios remote control to operate your television, cable box, DVD player, stereo, and other electronic devices. This eliminates the need of having many remotes and it just makes the home entertainment system so much easier to control. Below are steps to program the Verizon Fios remote from scratch.
The first step is to switch On the device that the remote control is going to be programmed to. This is your TV, cable box, DVD player, etc. The device must be on so that the remote can send signals and connect with it in the programming process. After that, you will have to find a three-digit numeric code for the device you wish to operate. Verizon also provides a code list in the package with your remote containing standard codes for most brands of TVs, cable boxes, and other gadgets. Go to the manufacturer of your device and look for the 3-digit code associated with it.
However, if you must have your hands on the code book for some reason, you can search for Verizon Fios remote codes on the internet. It is possible to find numerous websites that offer extensive lists of 3-digit codes for Fios remotes. After you have your device’s 3-digit code ready, you are now prepared for programming the remote. Turn the Fios remote over and look for a tiny programming button at the bottom of the screen; it should have a picture associated with the programming button. Press this button until a light at the top of the remote starts blinking. As shown this means that you are now in programming mode.
You then, have to use the numbers on the remote to input the 3-digit program number for your device. When the correct code is entered the LED light will stop blinking and be on steady. Point your Fios remote at the device you would like to program, then press the power button that is associated with the device type (TV, AUX, DVD, etc. ). If the device responds by turning off, then congratulations, you have successfully programmed your remote! If not, you may have to attempt to use more codes from the code list provided at Verizon to identify the correct code for your model of product.
If your remote is already working for a specific device, then you just follow the same steps to learn other devices such as your cable box, DVD player, stereo, etc. Oftentimes, Fios remote can operate up to four different devices simultaneously without conflicts. If more than one device is being used simultaneously, it will suffice to press the input button to switch between the devices until the commands sent by the remote are effective on the right equipment. You may also need to code the volume/mute buttons for your remote depending on your TV or stereo set. As you do this, just follow the programming button procedure described above while pointing at the speaker system or your television.
Almost all Fios remotes also come with additional features for TV manufacturers such as Sony, Samsung, and LG among others. Long press device buttons such as Play, Pause, Stop, or Rewind for about 2 seconds for specials on compatible TVs. Some of these may let you navigate to apps, adjust the speed, or turn on captions. All you have to do is point the remote at your TV and press the key to see if any other modes are available.
In the long run, you may need to change some of the Fios remote programming if you continue to incorporate more digital devices and components in your living room. Occasionally, new hardware can disable some of the control settings when the system is powered down or upgraded. Fortunately, it is possible to access the 3-digit code list of Verizon whenever it is required to re-establish the link between the remote and devices. Programming usually lasts for not more than one minute.
The above guide was specific to living room home theater equipment; however, your Fios remote can operate other apparatuses. For instance, when combined with a stereo SMART speaker such as those produced by Amazon and Google, it enables one to switch between tracks and control volume without physically pressing the control on the speaker. There may also be 3-digit codes for ceiling fans, air conditioners, or room lights if they are applicable. Ensuring that the use of a remote extends beyond the television means that you do not find yourself with multiple remotes and apps cluttering the coffee table.
If not, hopefully, this article has made the process of programming a Verizon Fios remote easy. As the code lists in your hand & other online references give the device codes, the only thing you will require is the remote & equipment. Repeat the enter code and test procedure outlined above until your remote consistently controls the appropriate devices. To add another gear or to sort out problems in the future can be done in a few seconds. Before long your entire home theater can be run with just one simple, straightforward Verizon Fios clicker instead of a small mountain of remotes.
