Connecting an air conditioner (A/C) remote to a television (TV) is not a standard or common practice, as these two devices serve completely different purposes and have different functionalities. The A/C remote is designed specifically to control an air conditioning unit, while the TV remote is meant to operate a television.
If you have an A/C remote that seems to control your TV or vice versa, it may be a coincidence that they share some infrared (IR) codes that happen to overlap. However, this is not intentional, and you should not rely on this as a method for controlling your TV or A/C unit.
To control your TV and A/C unit separately and correctly, follow these steps:
TV Remote: Make sure you have the correct remote for your TV. If you've lost your original remote, you can usually purchase a replacement from the TV manufacturer or a third-party retailer. Alternatively, you can use a universal remote that supports your TV model.
A/C Remote: Similarly, ensure you have the original remote for your air conditioner. If you have lost it, try to find a replacement from the A/C manufacturer or a compatible universal A/C remote.
Pointing: When using each remote, aim it directly at the device you want to control. Point the TV remote at the TV, and the A/C remote at the air conditioner. Both remotes use infrared signals, so you need to have a clear line of sight between the remote and the device.
Pairing: In most cases, TV remotes and A/C remotes don't require pairing or setup. They are pre-configured to work with their respective devices.
If you are experiencing any issues with either remote or need further assistance, consult the user manuals for both the TV and A/C unit. If the problem persists, contact the respective manufacturer's support for troubleshooting and additional guidance.
