Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a Philips Universal Remote
Control. Philips Universal Remotes let you replace a broken or lost
remote or combine more than one remote into one. In addition, this
remote is equipped with a command learning feature which lets the
remote learn commands from your original equipment remote
control!
This remote control operates the common features of most but not
all models and brands of IR Infrared Controlled Video Equipment.
This remote may provide functions that are not available on your
equipment. Some functions of your particular equipment (e.g. menu
functions) may not be controlled by this remote.
In such cases, use the original remote control for your equipment.
Please use this manual to become familiar with your Philips
Universal Remote. After you are familiar with your remote the first
thing you need to do is to install batteries and setup your remote
for your particular product and brand.
The remote also transmits wireless radio Frequency (RF) commands. The wireless receiver (included), see page 21, or a video
sender (sold separately) receives these commands and converts
them to regular Infrared (IR) commands. These IR commands are
then emitted from the IR Extender to control your A/V components.
This lets you control your A/V components from ANY room in
your home - you don’t need to aim the remote at your component!
Thank you for buying a Philips remote and we hope it will give you
many years of service.

Code Saver
Code Setup
The CODE SEARCH button is used to setup the remote. You can
either setup the remote using the code for your brand of product,
from the code tables (on separate sheet), or you can search
through the library of codes until you find a code that works for
your product.
Please refer to “Programming with Code Search” on page 11 for
more information on using the code search feature to learn how to
search through the library of codes for your products.
NOTE: You can store any kind of code under any mode (except
TV). I.E. you can store a VCR code under the CBL button, or a
DVD code under the VCR button, etc. However, you can only
store TV codes under the TV button.
Codes are stored in permanent memory while you are changing
batteries so you will not lose any codes stored in the remote while
you are changing batteries.
