Point the remote at the TV and press TV repeatedly until the input menu pops up, then press STAR to lock in the code.
The Odessa remote will now control VOLUME, POWER, INPUT, and MENU NAVIGATION. If it doesn’t, you may have clicked past the correct code. Repeat the process to try again.

In this scenario, the channels are controlled by the TV's internal tuner.
We do not currently have TV brand channel codes in our onboard code libraries, so in this case the Odessa CH buttons will not work to change the channels on the TV. These will be added ETA Q2 2026.
As a workaround, if the patient has their original TV remote, you can copy the channel codes from the original remote onto the Odessa CH + and CH - buttons using the Learning Method.
