ABSTRACT:
A television set which learns to work with a remote control unit not specifically designed to operate that television set. The television set enters a learning mode in response to the user pressing a “Learn Remote” button or menu item, or in response to receiving an unknown remote control signal value, and gives the user a series of prompts for the user to press specified buttons on the remote control unit. As the user presses the buttons, the television set associates the received data values with the prompted button/functionality, to construct the remote code data set of the remote control unit. The television set may retrieve the remote code data set from an external source such as a website. After learning the remote code data set, the television set is able to be controlled by the remote control unit as though it were factory original.
