Modern home appliances often require multiple remote controls, creating clutter on the coffee table. Universal remote controls solve this problem by allowing you to control your TV, DVD player and other equipment with one device. Model WFC 2063 OE has proven itself as a reliable solution for replacing lost or damaged original accessories.
In this guide we will go into detail about the process of setting up, finding codes and troubleshooting. The chip encoding in the WFC 2063 OE model is compatible with 98% of TVs manufactured after 2000. The correct sequence of actions guarantees quick activation of all control functions.
Before you begin setup, make sure you have fresh batteries installed in the battery compartment. A weak charge can lead to incorrect operation of the IR transmitter and failures when entering commands. Check the polarity of the batteries as this is critical to the operation of the electronics.
Preparation for work and first launch
You must begin operating the device by checking the configuration and installing power supplies. In most cases, the box contains the remote control itself, AAA batteries and a short instruction manual. Open the compartment on the rear panel, paying attention to the direction of the contacts, and insert the batteries.
After setting the power, press the button Power or TVto check the glow of the infrared diode. You can do this by pointing the front of the device at the smartphone's camera: a faint purple or white glow should be visible on the screen when you press the buttons. If there is no light, check the quality of the contacts in the battery compartment.
- 🔋 Make sure the batteries are new and have the same charge level.
- 📺 Point the remote control at the TV from a distance of no more than 3 meters for an initial check.
- 👁️ Use your phone camera to visualize the IR signal.
It is important not to mix old and new batteries, as well as cells of different types (alkaline and salt). This may result in electrolyte leakage and damage to the internal circuit board of the device. For long-term operation, it is better to choose alkaline batteries.
Store the remote control in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent the plastic case from deforming and the buttons from sticking.
Automatic code search (Auto Search)
The easiest way to set up WFC 2063 OE is to use the automatic code search function. This method is ideal if you don't know the TV's manufacturer or exact model code. The algorithm itself will select a suitable combination of signals from the internal database.
To start auto search mode, press and hold the button SET (or CODE SEARCH) for 5-6 seconds until the LED indicator lights up. After that, press the volume up button VOL+ slow and rhythmic. Each press sends a test signal, and as soon as the volume bar or menu appears on the TV screen, the process must be stopped.
⚠️ Attention: Do not press the button VOL+ constantly, otherwise you can “overshoot” the required code. Make short presses with a pause of 1-2 seconds.
As soon as the TV responds to the command, immediately press the button SET or OK to save the found parameter. The indicator should go out, indicating the successful completion of the procedure. Now check the operation of all the main buttons: switching channels, sound, entering the menu.
☑️ Auto search check
Manual code entry according to the table
If the automatic search does not produce results or finds a code that is unstable (some buttons do not function), you should use manual entry. To do this, you will need a code table, usually included in the kit or available on the Internet for the model WFC 2063 OE.
Press and hold the button SET until the indicator turns on, then enter the four-digit code corresponding to your TV brand using the number buttons. The entry of each digit must be confirmed by a flashing indicator. After entering the last digit, the device will automatically check the code.
The table below shows examples of codes for popular brands. Please note that several options may be indicated for one brand, which is due to different generations of equipment.
| Brand | Code 1 | Code 2 | Code 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Samsung | 0013 | 0157 | 0209 |
| LG | 0034 | 0178 | 0321 |
| Sony | 0001 | 0010 | 0123 |
| Philips | 0056 | 0198 | 0245 |
If the TV does not respond after entering the code, repeat the procedure with another code from the list for the same manufacturer. Sometimes it is not the first, but the second or third option on the list that is correct. Write down the codes you try so you don't get confused.
What to do if the code is not in the table?
If your brand is not listed, try codes from similar OEMs or use an autosearch method that covers a broader database.
Learning Function
Unique feature of the model WFC 2063 OE is the presence of a learning function. It allows you to copy commands from the original remote control, even if it is not in the list of supported devices. This is especially true for rare equipment or specific functions, such as Smart TV or 3D.
To activate training mode, press and hold the button LEARN (or combination SET + TV) until the indicator flashes twice. Bring the head of the original remote control to the head of the universal one at a distance of 2-3 cm. Press the button on the original that you want to copy, then the button on the universal remote control where the signal will be recorded.
- 📡 The distance between remote controls should be minimal (1-3 cm).
- ⏱️ It takes about 10 seconds to transmit one signal.
- ✅ Successful copying is confirmed by the indicator blinking three times.
After copying all the necessary buttons, exit the learning mode by pressing any function button or simply waiting for the indicator to turn off. Check the operation of the copied commands. If they don't work, the modulation frequency of the original remote may not be compatible with the receiver WFC 2063 OE.
The learning function allows you to restore access to unique buttons (Netflix, YouTube), which often do not work with standard encoding.
Resetting and Troubleshooting
During operation, situations may arise when the remote control begins to behave incorrectly: spontaneously change channels or not respond to commands. In such cases, it is recommended to perform a full factory reset.
To reset universal remote control Usually you need to remove the batteries, then press and hold a button Power for 10-15 seconds without power. This will discharge the residual voltage in the capacitors. After this, reinsert the batteries and repeat the setup procedure.
⚠️ Attention: When resetting, all saved codes and learned commands will be permanently deleted. You will have to configure the device again.
If the remote control stops working after replacing the batteries, check the contacts. Oxidation of spring contacts (springs) is a common problem. Wipe them with alcohol or an eraser. Also make sure that there are no obstacles between the IR emitter and the TV receiver, and that there is no direct sunlight falling on the windows, which could “jam” the signal.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Can WFC 2063 OE be used to control a set-top box or DVD?
Yes, the model supports switching operating modes. By pressing buttons TV, DVD, AUX or SAT you switch the remote control to the appropriate mode, for each of which you can configure your own device code.
What does the flashing light mean when pressing buttons?
Single blinking indicates normal signal transmission. Double or triple flashing may indicate programming mode or low batteries. If the indicator is constantly on, the remote control is frozen and requires removing power.
Where can I find a complete list of codes for rare TV models?
Complete Code Lists are often found in the paper instructions inside the box or available on the remote manufacturer's website upon request for the model. WFC 2063 OE. There are also mobile codebase applications.
Why don't Smart TV buttons work after setup?
Standard codes often do not support specific functions of Smart platforms. For application buttons (YouTube, Netflix) to work, you must use the learning function (LEARN) and copy the signals from the original remote control.
