The Learning Feature
(How to copy functions from your original working remote onto the ONE FOR ALL URC 8350)

The URC-8350 comes with a complete library of pre-programmed codes. After you have set up the URC-8350 for your device, you may find that there are one or more keys that you had on your original remote, which do not have a place on the URC-8350 keypad.
As a convenience, the URC-8350 offers a special Learning feature that allows you to copy any function from your original remote control onto the keypad of the URC-8350.

Before you start:

  • Make sure your original remote control is working correctly.
  • Make sure neither your URC-8350, nor your original remote control is pointing at your device.

Example: To copy the “mono/stereo” function from your original TV remote onto the “LAST” key of your URC-8350.

  1. Place both remote controls (the URC-8350 and your original) on a flat surface. Make sure the ends which you normally point at your device are facing each other. Keep the remotes at a distance of 2 to 5 cm.
    Before you start:
  2. Setting up the URC 8350 Press and hold down REWIND + FAST-FORWARD simultaneously until the URC-8350’s LED (red light) blinks twice (the LED will blink once and then twice).
  3. Button Icon Press 9 7 5 (the LED will blink twice).
  4. Setting up the URC 8350 Press the device key (on the URC-8350 remote) to select the mode to which you want to copy the learned function (example: TV key).
  5. Button Icon Press the key (on the URC-8350 remote) where you want to place the learned function (example: LAST key).
    The LED will flash rapidly.
  6. Button Icon Press and hold the key (on your original remote) that you want to copy until the LED on the URC-8350 blinks twice (example: “mono/stereo” key).
  7.  If you want to copy other functions within the same mode, simply repeat steps 5 and 6 pressing the next key you want to copy by learning. If you want to copy other functions to a different mode, then repeat from step 4 onwards and press the applicable mode key.
  8. Setting up the URC 8350To exit the learning mode, press and hold OK until the LED blinks twice.
  9. Learning is mode specific. To access your learned function, press the appropriate device key first.
    • The URC-8350 can learn approximately 25 – 40 functions (depending on the function to be learned). Memory full will be indicated by two long blinks.
    • You can replace a learned function by placing another learned function on top.
    • Upon changing the batteries, your learned functions will be retained.

Extra Features

  • If you need to build in some delay into the sequence please use the corresponding device-mode key (e.g. STB key in example above) to do so. You may press this key several times to build in more delay.
  • Each MACRO can consist of a maximum of 32 key strokes.
  • Make sure that you program a Macro on a spare key, as the Macro will overwrite the pre-programmed function in the mode where the Macro is programmed.
  • If you had to hold down a key for a few seconds on the original remote control to get a function, this function may not work in a macro on your URC-8350 remote.

Erasing the Macro

Using the Energy Saver Key

In combination with the included On/Off Power Plug (HC-8000), your One For All URC 8350 can be used as a convenient remote control for switching your Audio Video devices completely off, saving more energy than the standby mode. The optimal way to do this is to plug all of your devices into one power strip or multi-way extension lead (see illustration below)and then plug that into the One For All Power Plug.
Using the Energy Saver Key

You can then shut the Power to all devices using the URC 8350. To do this first enter the Energy Saving Mode by pressing the Energy Saver Key. Now you need to select which Power Plug you want to control. Each Plug has a number and the one that shipped with this kit defaults to number 1, so press the number. You can now turn the Power completely off by pressing the following keys:

Power ON – Press Channel Up (+)
Power OFF – Press Channel Down (-)

The remote will remember the last plug you controlled, so if you switch from Energy Saving Mode l to TV mode and then back again you will be able to control the last plug control switch you accessed without needing select it by pressing 1.

How to change the number of your HC-8000

It is possible to change the number you use to select the HC8000 Power Plug. This is useful if you have purchased a second Power Plug (available from One For All), or if you already have a Power Plug operating as number 1.
To assign a number to the plug, follow these steps:

  • Plug your device (or extension lead) the HC-8000 into the wall If you are setting up a device with an in-line switch (such as a lamp), make sure the switch is set to On
  • Press the Energy Saver key on your ONE FOR ALL URC-8350 so that it is in Energy Saving Mode.
  • Press the number you wish to assign to the Power Plug Switch (HC-8000). If this is your first Plug, number 1 is recommended, number 2 for the second etc. The IR Indicator (LED) at the top of the URC-8350 should blink twice.
  • Press and hold the button on the Power Plug (HC-8000) until the red light begins to blink.
  • Press the Channel Up (+) key. The red light on the Light Power Plug (HC-8000) should stop flashing.
    The remote should now operate the Power Plug (HC-8000).
    To test it, check if the Channel Up (+) and (-) keys work to switch your light ON and OFF respectively,.
  • If you require more than 10 plugs to control, you can also use the Red, Green, Yellow and Blue keys on your remote to control 11-14. Simply assign these keys to the Power Plugs HC-8000) as you would do a number.
  • If you experience interference, it is possible to change the code of the Energy Saver Mode on your remote to avoid this. The default code is 41000, but it is possible to change the code to 41001, 41002 etc up to 41015. To change the code, set the Light Mode up as you would do a normal device (see page 5), using codes 41000 – 41015.
  • If you should wish to reset your Power Plug HC-8000 to factory defaults so you can assign it a new number, hold down the button on the Light Control Switch until the red light starts to blink, release the button and then hold it down again until the red light goes out.
