TWe have a relative coming for the holidays that keeps the TV on non-stop. If we hook this up - can he just override it with the remote?

No. Terk controller is a great product, but it's designed to "flatten" the spikes in volume and when TV stations play their commercials too loudly (even though that's supposed to be illegal now) I suggest you unplug the TV and tell your relative that its broken! Or, just tell him to cut it out, its your house, your rules

NO!!! This unit is made to keep the volume at a relatively constant level. When commercials com on the volume level generally goes up. This is controlled at the transmitter. IT IS SUPPOSED TO GET YOUR ATTENTION! If he has the remote control on his hand, he can change channels all day, but that is all. Good luck, Ronda, and try to have a great visit! Hal Stout

If you use your TV volume control, the volume will go up or down as you choose. The way this works is to reduce the Peaks and Valleys of the sound so that the level is more constant. I am somewhat hard of hearing, and this is a wonderful device (IMO).

Yes, he can override it with the remote by just turning the volume up. Besides the device does not work well even without your relative.

This will not work with any remote control. It is simply a split in the RCA line with a variable resistor inside.

I didn't see that option. I'm using a universal remote. Not having a display really sucks on that unit.

I don't think so... it's a very basic remote. Just volume/channel up and down, device on and off and mute buttons. Hidden under the slider are the programming buttons and numbers 0-9 which can control the channels, but didn't even tell my MIL about the slider and extra buttons to avoid confusion :)

I don't know how you would do that. All 5 of them are coded differently so they don't all come on or go off at the same time. Why wouldn't you want to use the remote that comes with it?

No. But you can use your tv remote. Follow a few simple steps and you're ready to go.

Hi, You don't need to change the frequency on the remote. They can race each other and it should be any problems. Thanks

yes. you need to choose the input associated with the connection you plugged it into. you may have an "input" button on your remote that will allow you to toggle through the choices.

The old remote will absolutely still work! You program the remote to work with the TV, not the other way around. So you can have multiple remotes per TV. :-)

No, you will not loose any functionality. It has a universal remote menu to set up the standard remote to control your whole system if you want. Or if you already have a universal remote then you can program it to control everything on the TV. Gesture and voice control can still work if you want as well. I have mine turned off because it seems gimmicky to me.

Yes this is possible. The timer includes instruction booklet that walks you through setup. Once setup it will keep your settings until you cancel

No you can't unfourtanately unless it can be used as a universal remote but there were no instructions to do that. Sorry

It's highly unlikely. There are three conditions that would all need to occur for that to happen. 1) the TV in the basement is by the same manufacturer as the TV/DVD in the upstairs room AND 2) the house is wired with infrared repeaters which is not unusual if you have a whole house sound/entertainment system AND3) the downstairs TV is connected to the infrared system.Now to be clear, if you WANT the one remote to control both devices you can program multiple devices into the remote. As a general rule (and as someone else has already mentioned) you need "line of sight" for the remote to control both devices. It's highly unlikely.

OMG! Thanks! I knew it had to be something simple that i was missing. Thanks again for your input! I had already pretty much given up on the idea of having a working remote before reading your post today. Im sure you probably read my question and thought "is this person serious?" lol

No, not if the receiver is totally OFF. It must be in Standby Mode. Setup allows you to decide which input will then activate the Standby Pass Mode and then that signal will be sent to the TV. Standby Pass Mode does deactivate the Sleep Timer Function and the Auto Standby is disabled.

Absolutely not. TV remotes use infrared light; if your remote can't see the TV, it will not work.

Sorry, I have no idea if it would work, try remotes.comthey can tell him which remotes will work with his tv.
