TV Control

Controlling your TV with the remote

Initially, the Volume and Mute buttons control your T4•R’s sound. However, for the best sound quality and consistent volume across your TV’s sources, you can teach these buttons to control your TV’s volume directly instead.

The and buttons do nothing until you teach them to control these functions on your TV.

Learning Steps

Follow the steps below to teach the remote how to control your TV, or watch the video for a visual guide.

⚠️ Before Starting

1. Set your T4•R’s volume to maximum for correct TV volume after setup.
2. Put your T4•R’s in standby to prevent accidental operation during learning.
3. Position your T4•R and TV remotes facing each other, a finger-width apart.

1. Press the S/AD and ZOOM buttons on the T4•R remote for 3 seconds to enter learning mode.

→ The T4•R remote’s button will glow blue.

2. Press the button on the T4•R remote you want to teach: Volume +, Volume –, Mute, or .

→ The T4•R remote’s button will start blinking.

3. Press and hold the corresponding button on the TV remote.

→ If successfully learnt, the light from the T4•R remote’s button will turn off for a second, then turn solid blue. → If it fails to be learnt, the light from the T4•R remote’s button will flash 4 times, and you will need to repeat Step 2.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all the buttons to teach.

5. Press OK on your T4•R remote to exit learning mode.

→ The light from the T4•R remote’s button will turn off.

Test the Buttons

Test each button with your TV. If a button doesn’t work, repeat the steps to teach it again.

Resetting Learned Buttons

To clear all learned buttons and start fresh, press and hold S/AD and for 3 seconds. The button will flash blue once to confirm.

Tips for Success

• Use fresh, non-rechargeable batteries in both remotes – weak or rechargeable batteries can cause learning problems.
• When teaching a button, press and hold the TV remote button until the T4•R remote’s LED becomes solid. If not held long enough, volume controls may require repeated presses instead of a single hold.
• If your TV remote’s infrared transmitter is positioned higher than the T4•R’s, slightly elevate the T4•R remote to align them properly.

Troubleshooting

• Smart TV remotes with Bluetooth capabilities (voice/​mouse control) must be in infrared mode to work:
  • For LG TVs, please see our guide.
  • For other TVs, consult your TV’s user manual for instructions on switching to infrared mode, or contact your TV manufacturer for assistance.
• If you didn’t set your T4•R to full volume before teaching the remote, you may notice no sound or low volume on SD channels. HD channels may still have sound if you’re using Dolby. To restore maximum volume, press: Home → 9 → 5 → 1 → RED.
• Some TVs use non-standard remote signals and may not be compatible with the T4•R remote.

Remote Pairing

Pair your and remote to prevent interference with other Manhattan devices

Your T4•R comes with a pairing feature that connects your remote and box specifically to each other. Once paired, only that remote can control that box, and that box will only respond to that remote. This feature is particularly useful if you’ve got one or more other Manhattan products that you want to use alongside a T4•R. It allows you to:

• Use up to nine T4 or T4•R’s in the same room without them interfering with each other.
• Use up to eight T4 or T4•R’s in the same room as a T2•R, T3 or T3•R without any interference.

How to pair a T4•R remote and T4•R box

While your T4•R is turned on and active:

1. Press and hold the button and a number button (1−9) on the T4•R remote for 3 seconds.
2. A message will confirm: ​“The remote and box are paired on remote channel X.”

How to return to universal mode

To unpair your remote and box, pair them on channel 0:

1. Press and hold the button and 0 on the T4•R remote for 3 seconds.
2. A message will confirm: ​“The remote and box are in universal mode.”

How to check the channel setting

While the T4•R is turned on and active:

1. Press and hold both the and buttons at the same time for 3 seconds.
2. The T4•R will display a message on the screen indicating its channel number.
3. The remote’s standby button will flash blue to indicate its channel:
   • Flashes correspond to channel number (e.g., 5 flashes for Channel 5)
   • Solid blue for 3 seconds indicates Channel 0 (Universal)

Compatibility with Other Manhattan Devices

Channel 0 (Universal)

• When a remote or box is set to Channel 0, they will work together regardless of pairing.
• On this channel, a T4•R will also respond to T2•R, T3, and T3•R remotes.
• When you factory reset a T4•R, it reverts to Channel 0, but the remote keeps its channel setting. Because Channel 0 is universal, they’ll still work together.

Channels 1 – 9

Channel 1 is used by the T2•R, T3, and T3•R. If you pair your T4•R on Channel 1, it will respond to those older remotes, and your T4•R remote will control those older boxes.

If you’re using older Manhattan devices in the same room as your T4•R, pair your T4•R on channels 2 – 9 to avoid interference.
