To reset all user-programmable features (macros, favourite channels, volume redirect and devices
programmed on X, Y and Z) follow the steps below :
1. Press and hold the SHIFT button until the mode window blinks 3 times.
2. Enter 981. (The mode window will blink 3 times to indicate successful completion).

8.2.3 Factory Reset (if all else fails)
This will revert the remote control to manufactured defaults.
1. Press and hold the SHIFT button until the mode window blinks 3 times.
2. Enter 977. (The mode window will blink 3 times to indicate successful completion).
Note
X The only difference between resetting all user-programmable functions and the Factory
Reset, is that any software upgrades that might have been done, will also be deleted.

thanks, but when I press any of those 5 digit codes, I get red flashing lights, which I believe is a bad thing.

Any advice? Trying to control an Explora 3a with this "A3" remote.

This is an old thread, codes are about the original Exploras' remote modes, etc. A3 will be too ancient for yours, you must get a modern universal (and be sure it can do the job) or else the native remote for the 3a.

I still use A3 for very old SD decoders like the SD PVR - tech is about 20 years old now.

Agreed... realised it and made another plan - was trying to force a solution because I had a practically brand new A3.
Thanks for the reply.
