The MTS remote control is a small mechanism with buttons that allows you to install and then control MTS digital television channels. The control takes place by transmitting commands through infrared rays. They are sent to a decoder, where this signal is converted to digital for transmission to the TV. It is battery operated.

New opportunities for television

The remote control from the MTS set-top box allows you to select digital TV settings and use all its capabilities:

  • reconfigures the selected programs to the desired channels;
  • allows the “repeat” function to view the missed program, and the “TV pause” function to pause the broadcast for an hour.
  • Using the remote control, you can connect a reminder of the desired program or enter additional notifications, such as:
  • MTS Weather;
  • MTS Route;
  • MTS Currency Rates;
  • Yandex traffic jams;
  • Video on Demand.
  • with one touch of the remote control button, you can remotely make a request for a new program or film of interest, select any film from the Omlet ru catalog.

How to replace the original

Sometimes the set includes a universal MTS remote control, which makes it possible to control several devices:

  • receiver;
  • TV;

Setting the remote control to desired device happens with the TV and DVD keys. If you need to return to work with the attachment, you should press the button on the "STV" remote control. The transition to control of the attachment will be indicated by the blinking of the LED.

It is not possible to buy the MTS remote control separately, since it is included with the prefix in one set.
But on sale there are already its absolute analogues, which are fully adapted for the MTS decoder.

Video: TV setup

In the process of using the equipment, you often have to find the answer to the question of how to unlock the TV remote control. This often happens after it has fallen into the grip of pets or small children. The fault may also be an accident, when certain of its buttons are arbitrarily pressed. In any case, the problem requires a solution, and below we will offer options for getting out of the situation when the remote control is blocked.

If the TV does not respond to commands from the remote control, then the first thing to do is to check its batteries. Maybe they are just discharged or faulty. It is very easy to do this:

  • open the battery compartment;
  • remove the installed batteries;
  • insert similar new batteries.
  • check the operation of the remote control.

On a note! It is worth inspecting the battery compartment for the serviceability of the contact pads. They may have been bent back, or traces of oxides have formed on them. All this can also lead to the fact that the remote control does not work.

If nothing has changed after the events, it's time to think about how to unlock the TV remote control. You can find a huge number of ways to unlock the remote control. But not all of them will be effective for a particular model. The best option is to view the instructions for the TV. Usually the answers to all common questions are written there. But the book is not always saved after the purchase of equipment. For this reason, you have to look for the answer yourself.

The instructions usually state special code... It will be enough to press this combination on the remote control buttons, and the problem will be solved. If no papers have survived, the first thing to think about is how the blocking occurred. If you try to do the opposite, you can make the remote workable in relation to the TV.

Alternative ways

There are many options for unlocking the remote control offered by Internet users:

  1. Press the "P" and "+" buttons simultaneously. After that, a combination of the same numbers is dialed, for example 2222 or 5555. Among the common and standard codes, 1234 or 1111 are accepted. After dialing the combination, press "+" again. Perhaps it will be a completely different combination of numbers. There are numerous options to try.
  2. After the initial digits from the first method are pressed, the LED should be on without interruption. In this case, instead of a combination, you can try pressing simultaneously: "Menu" and "+ Channel", "Menu" and "+ Volume".
  3. Sometimes it is enough to hold down one button for about 5-10 seconds. But this method is suitable for a few TV models.

Memorize those combinations of numbers that you press! After all, rash actions can only aggravate the situation.

Some models of remote controls can be unlocked by simultaneously pressing the "Exit" buttons and numbers 9 and 1. The option of removing the batteries is also suitable, and the power button must be held when inserting them. It is these methods that help return the remote control to full operation.

What is hotel mode

In some models of TV sets, there is an option called "HOTEL MODE", which translates as "hotel mode". If it is on, the technician will not respond to many commands from the remote control, for example, increasing the volume or searching for new TV channels. This is done in order to limit the possible actions of guests in hotels. Thanks to its application, loud sound from the TV will not disturb other residents. However, in the conditions of a private apartment or house, the included "hotel" mode will only interfere.

To disable the option, you can use the following recommendation. In Stand-By mode, press the Display / Menu / Power buttons in turn. Another variant of the sequence looks like this: Display / Menu / Mute / Power On, and in the menu that appears, select the reset item, press the MENU button. Thereafter the technique needs to be rebooted(turn off and on).

How to remove parental controls

Another option that is often implemented in modern TVs is parental control... It is designed to restrict the actions of children: for example, watching prohibited TV channels, changing system settings. To perform such actions, the TV will ask set pin code.

But sometimes this control plays a cruel joke on the parents themselves: turning it on and forgetting the code, you yourself may face inconvenient restrictions. Resetting the TV settings, namely the password, will help to remove them. Here is an algorithm for LG smart TVs:

  • go to Menu / Settings;
  • go to the Security / Reset PIN-code tab;
  • enter any combination of numbers without clicking OK;
  • press the channel switching buttons: up twice, then down and up again;
  • enter the code 0313 and click OK.

The result of these activities should be the reset of the PIN code to the factory one, that is, four zeros.
