Hama universal remotes include a variety of models, from standard to big-button and streaming remotes with dedicated app buttons for Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, and more.

This article will help you easily program your Hama remote using methods like manual code entry, manual code search, and auto code search. For manual code entry, we have a comprehensive code lookup tool to quickly find the right codes for all models. Let’s get started with setting up your remote.

Manual Code Entry

1. Turn on your device.
2. Press and hold the SETUP button until the LED lights up.
3. Press the appropriate device button (e.g., TV, DVD, STB, AUX) once . The LED will blink once and then remain on.
4. Enter the code for your device brand (3, 4, or 5 digits depending on the model).
5. Press SHIFT and then OK and then SHIFT again to save the code (for models 12047 and 12083). On other models, the code will be save once you finish entering it.
6. Test the buttons on your remote. If some functions do not work as expected, repeat the steps using the next code listed for your device.
