URC3661: How do I setup the App Shortcut keys on my Essential 6 remote?

Please ensure the Essential remote is operating the device in question before setting up the App Shortcut key.

When programming, wait for your device to respond first, the remote will remember the timing.

  1. Make sure your device is switched on (not on standby)
  2. Hold down the App Shortcut key until the light blinks twice.
  3. Select the device you want to use for the App Shortcut key macro (e.g., TV)
  4. Now perform the sequence of keys exactly as you would normally do. The remote will operate your device, and the macro is recorded in real time. So if it normally takes a few seconds for your device to react, this is normal.
  5. Once you have finished the sequence (and the streaming service has started on your device) hold down the App Shortcut key until the light blinks twice and goes out.
         The macro is now stored.
Note:

  • If the Macro doesn’t work as expected, you can repeat the same sequence to program it.
  • The App Shortcut key macro is tied to one device, remember to make sure you picked the right device mode.
