If the issue persists, re-program the remote following the auto-search or code-entry method detailed earlier in this manual. Check for interference from fluorescent lights or direct sunlight. As a last resort, consult the troubleshooting section on the One For All website for device-specific guidance and potential firmware updates.
Troubleshooting: Incorrect Device Control
Experiencing incorrect device control with your One For All remote? This often indicates an incorrect device code has been programmed.

Ensure you’ve selected the correct device type during programming (TV, DVD, Soundbar, etc.). If the problem continues, the remote may be sending conflicting signals; try resetting the remote to factory settings and re-programming.
