Controlling your TV with the remote
You can teach the five highlighted buttons on the T4•R’s remote to control your TV:
- TV power
- TV input selection
- Volume +
- Volume –
- Mute
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. It’s very important that if doing this you set the volume on your T4•R’s remote to maximum before you teach them to control your TV instead, as you will not be able to adjust the T4•R’s volume level once after teaching them to control your TV’s volume level instead.
If you have a soundbar or AV receiver that has its own infrared remote control, you also have the option
The and buttons do nothing until you teach them to control these functions on your TV.
Learning Steps
Please follow the steps below or watch the video to teach the remote how to control your TV.
⚠️ Before Starting #
- Set your T4•R’s volume to maximum to ensure the correct volume level from your TV after learning is complete.
- Put your T4•R in standby to avoid it responding to the T4•R remote during the learning steps.
- Place your T4•R and TV remotes on a flat surface, facing each other, a small distance 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 does not work, repeat the steps to teach it again. Please note that some TVs use non-standard remote signals and may not be compatible with the T4•R remote.
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 older 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:
- Press and hold the button and a number button (1−9) on the T4•R remote for 3 seconds.
- A message will appear on the screen confirming that the remote and box are paired on that channel.
Important notes about channels #
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 will revert to Channel 0, but its remote control will not. However, because Channel 0 is universal, the T4•R will still respond to the T4•R remote.
Channel 1
- This channel is used by the T2•R, T3, and T3•R.
If you pair your T4•R on Channel 1:
- The T4•R remote will operate T2•R, T3, and T3•R boxes.
- The T4•R box will respond to T2•R, T3, and T3•R remotes.
Channels 2 – 9
- These channels are not used by any previous Manhattan models.
- If you’re using a Manhattan T2•R, T3, or T3•R in the same room as your T4•R, use channels 2 to 9 for pairing your T4•R remote and box. This will prevent interference between devices.
How to check the channel setting of a T4•R remote and T4•R box #
While the T4•R is turned on and active:
- On the T4•R remote, press and hold both the and buttons at the same time for 3 seconds.
- The T4•R will display a message on the screen indicating its channel number.
- The remote’s standby button will flash blue to indicate the channel:
- Flashes correspond to channel number (e.g., 5 flashes for Channel 5)
- Solid blue for 3 seconds indicates Channel 0 (Universal)
