This name “Hyundai” has its origin in the Korean word “hyeondae” which can be translated to mean either “modernity” or “contemporary” in the English Language.  A company by this name was first established in 1947 by Chung Ju-Yung in South Korea but waited until 1965 to begin operations outside this nation.

The company initially made construction materials then diversified into the manufacturing of ships and cars. By 1976 it had become a corporation with a trading arm to market her products within and outside South Korea.

Come 1983 Hyundai Corporation became a player in the semiconductor industry through the establishment of Hyundai Electronics which was 2001 renamed Hynix.

Hyundai today manufactures a wide range of electronic appliances to ‘Make Your Life Joyful’ like air conditioners, refrigerators, television sets, washing machines, and audio systems.

It has become a globally recognized technology company known for its strengths in research, product innovation, and talent acquisition and its visibility in the fields of artificial intelligence, technology, supply chain, logistics, and energy efficiency.

Among the several customer comments that have been cited as testimony that Hyundai is an electronic appliances manufacturer to reckon with globally goes thus, “TV watching has become more fun with Hyundai Smart LED TV. This set offers awesome picture quality as well as voice sensing capacity required to deliver a truly satisfying viewing experience. This is besides offering games and browsing applications to underscore the accompanying technological input that Hyundai needs to be appreciated for.”

Instruction to set-up the Hyundai TV Remote control

The most basic step you have to take to get your remote and TV to communicate is to pair the devices. This requires a clear path that allows your TV set to receive signals during the programming process. It is also worth remembering that universal remotes use 3, 4, or 5 –digit codes to sync with different TV sets, although not all the listed codes usually work. You, therefore, have to try out the different codes when the code used first fails.

The step-by-step process to sync your remote and TV is provided here-below.

• Press and hold the program (“PRG”) button on your remote for at least 3 seconds. This action will cause the LED light on the remote to turn on and remain lighting during the entire programming process.
• Press on the “TV” button on your remote to let it know it needs to sync with your TV. Besides the “TV” button, your universal remote is likely to have buttons to connect it to other devices like VCR and DVD player.
• Feed the 3, 4 or 5-digit code into your remote then press “Enter”. If the code you entered is accepted, your TV will turn on upon pressing the POWER button. As long as this light remains on, you should continue down the list of provided codes until you reach the correct one!
• Once you have established the correct code, verify by pressing the VOLUME + button. Your TV volume should rise/increase!
• Press on your “TV” button to store the 3, 4 or 5-digit code. This action will trigger your TV-set to blink twice to confirm the code is stored!  

There also exists an alternative way to auto-program your TV. The accompanying steps to follow and codes to use with every TV brand by name are usually provided on the backside of the instruction sheet as presented below.

• Switch on your TV.

Note: Write down the Hyundai TV codes to use to program your TV prior to moving to Step 2.

• Press and hold down your remote’s SETUP button until the RED light blinks twice before releasing it.
• Confirm the code for your Hyundai TV according to your set’s manufacturer as provided in the user guide.
• Using your remote’s digit/number keys, input the first 4-digit code listed for your Hyundai TV brand.

Note: Your remote’s red light will flash twice.

Aim the remote control at your Hyundai TV and press the “POWER” button once.  

Note 1: The device should turn off. If the TV does not respond, you should repeat steps 2 to 5, each time trying the codes listed until the correct one is found.

Note 2: You should write the right code somewhere for future reference!

 

 

Using Auto Search to Program Hyundai TV Universal Remote

In this search option, every code is scanned to establish the code that serves to sync your remote and device (in this case Hyundai TV). The steps you should follow in determining this code are as here-below.

• Direct your remote control at your TV and press and release the “ON-OFF” button.

Note: You should keep your remote aimed at your TV throughout this process.

• Press and release your remote’s “ENTER” button as soon as your TV set turns off.

Note 1: Failure to press your remote’s “ENTER” button within three seconds, automatically triggers your remote to the send the next code in the list. If this happens, you have to start over from Step 2.

Note 2: You should record the correct code somewhere for future reference to avoid reprogramming your TV and remote time and again!

Troubleshooting Hyundai TV Remote Control Codes:

Due to the fact that electronic appliances are programmed using particular software to work in certain ways when an error occurs in their software programs, they generate and display an error code.

This error code is a specific number to identify what the error is to the system. Any corrective step taken to resolve such a problem is called troubleshooting.

Below are common troubleshooting steps you should take to resolve code errors displayed by electronic appliances like a Hyundai TV.

Step 1

• Find the list of the manufacturer’s codes/numbers for your brand of TV (Hyundai in this case). These codes are to be found in the booklet that comes with your remote. You can also find them online in the manufacturer’s website just in case they are not provided!

•  Manually or remotely turn ON your TV with the remote that came with your TV set.
• On the remote accompanying your TV, press the “TV” button once.
• Press and hold the “SETUP” button until the “TV” button on your remote blinks twice.
• Input the 4-digit code retrieved from the Instruction booklet.

Note: You should see the “TV” button on your remote blink twice.

• Press the “VOLUME” Up (+) button several times.

Note: If your TV volume adjusts, this is to indicate that you used the correct code.  If the volume does not adjust, you should repeat the steps above using the next available code until you find the correct one.

Step 2

• Turn both your TV and cable box on.
• Press on your remote’s “CBL” button.
• Press and hold the “SETUP” button until the “CBL” light blinks twice, then release.
• Input 9 9 5 and press the “POWER” button.
• Press both “TV” and “POWER” buttons.
• Gently press on your “CBL” button, followed by “PWR” button.
• Press “CBL” separately.
• Long press on “SETUP” button until your “CBL” button blinks twice. 

Note:

• You can confirm that your remote has been properly programmed by directly aiming the remote at both your TV and cable box and pressing on the “POWER” button once. Both appliances (your TV and cable box) should go off after a few seconds!
• If both your TV and cable box go off, you have correctly programmed the remote. 
• If the TV and cable box remains on, you should repeat the steps above until it is correctly done!
