    The code for Thomson TVs according to the instructions is 2972, pairing should be carried out strictly according to the instructions on page 9. I doubt that the manufacturer just for this model chose another remote control system.

    So after entering the code, do not press the tv button immediately? Let it go out and press?

    Yes, it lights up after pressing a combination of buttons, I release the buttons immediately enters the code, and immediately holds the tv button for a minute. And nothing happens.

    Added after 18 [minutes]:

    As I enter the code u immediately press and hold the button for a minute it flashes every now and then.

    Search on the net on which guts this Thomson is, my Blaupunkt paired on the code from Sharp, because the original did not bang, it took me about 3 days.
    Check the codes on: TCL, TOSHIBA, PHLIPS, SHARP

FAQ

TL;DR: One documented code (2972) is listed for Thomson TVs; “pairing should be carried out strictly according to the instructions.” Use page-9 steps, then save and test. [Elektroda, nomudrek, post #16976997]

Why it matters: This FAQ helps UPC Horizon users quickly pair or troubleshoot a Thomson 40FS3246C without guesswork.

Quick Facts

What code works for a Thomson 40FS3246C with a UPC Horizon remote?

Use code 2972, as documented for Thomson TVs in the cited instructions. Enter it using the standard programming sequence, then test power. If the TV responds, save the configuration. “Pairing should be carried out strictly according to the instructions.” [Elektroda, nomudrek, post #16976997]

How do I program the UPC Horizon remote to control my Thomson TV?

  1. Start the remote’s TV programming mode as per the manual.
  2. Enter 2972 and test the TV Power key.
  3. Press Rec to save the pairing once Power works. These steps store the code so the remote controls basic TV functions. [Elektroda, nomudrek, post #16977126]

Do I press the TV button immediately after typing the code?

No. Follow the instructions: test the TV Power key first, then press Rec to save the code. Holding the TV button is not part of the saving step and can prevent pairing from completing. “Press the Rec button to save.” [Elektroda, nomudrek, post #16977126]

The remote’s power LED turns red during programming—is that normal?

Yes. The manual notes the TV power button should light red while in programming mode. That confirms the remote is in the correct state to accept and test a code before saving it. [Elektroda, nomudrek, post #16977157]

2972 doesn’t switch my TV off—what should I try next?

Try codes from related brands that share hardware with some Thomsons: TCL, Toshiba, Philips, or Sharp. Many TVs are rebranded, and alternate brand code sets can control them. Test Power after each entry before saving. [Elektroda, mychaj, post #16993949]

Why does a TCL code change screen resolution when I press Volume?

That code maps the remote’s volume buttons to the TV’s resolution function on some sets. It’s an incompatibility sign. Exit programming, clear that test, and try a different brand code until Power and Volume work correctly. [Elektroda, lukszo6561, post #19569030]

My setup used to work, but after replacing the remote it won’t pair. What changed?

Users report successful control before a remote swap, then pairing failures with the replacement. Newer Horizon remotes can ship with different internals or code libraries, so earlier codes may not behave identically. Try the alternate-brand approach and re-save. [Elektroda, lukszo6561, post #19617401]

The new remote “sneezes” and nothing works—any fixes?

A user with a new remote noted it wouldn’t pair even after changes. If code tests fail repeatedly, request another remote from the provider or try a universal remote known to support Thomson/TCL sets. Document your attempts to speed exchange. [Elektroda, mychaj, post #19617707]

What is the UPC Horizon remote in this context?

It’s the decoder’s remote control that can be programmed to operate the TV for power and volume. The user sought to pair their Thomson 40FS3246C with the Horizon decoder’s remote using brand codes. [Elektroda, prokika, post #16976940]

Can a different brand’s code really control my TV?

Yes. One user paired a Blaupunkt TV using a Sharp code, illustrating how shared components lead to cross-brand compatibility. Try related brands when the listed one fails. [Elektroda, mychaj, post #16993949]

Where are the instructions people mention (like “page 9”) from?

They refer to the official UPC user guide for the Horizon remote. The thread cites page 9 for the pairing steps and the Thomson code reference. [Elektroda, nomudrek, post #16976997]

Any quick checklist to avoid common programming mistakes?

  • Enter 2972 for Thomson and test Power.
  • Do not hold the TV button; use Power to test.
  • Press Rec to save only after a successful Power test.
  • If Power fails, try TCL/Toshiba/Philips/Sharp codes.
  • Confirm the red TV power LED during programming. [Elektroda, nomudrek, post #16976997]
