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 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.
Power-On Default
The remote powers on in TV mode.

Code Learning, cont.Code Learning
Tips On Learning
1. Use fresh batteries for both the Learning Remote and the
Original Remote.
2. Perform a Master Clear (see page 19) before learning, then try
learning 2 or 3 commands initially. Then carry out a Master
Clear before completely learning your original remote’s
commands.
3. Place the original remote end-to-end with the Learning Remote
so the IR transmitters on both remotes are directly in line with
each other. Keep the two remotes about one inch away from
each other. For some brands you might need to place the
remotes a bit closer, so some experimentation might be needed.
See troubleshooting on page 22.
4. Keep at least three feet away from incandescent or low-energy
lights when learning.
Note 1: Only learn TV codes under TV mode, VCR codes under
VCR mode, etc.
Note 2: No functions may be stored under SLEEP, LEARN, CODE
SEARCH
Note 3: Some functions from some types of remotes might not be
able to be learned.
, or any Mode button.

original remote control. For example - you may want to use your
remote to operate the RANDOM PLAY feature from your original
CD remote control. This remote is equipped with an “easy learning”
feature that allows you to “learn” features (such as RANDOM
PLAY
from your original CD remote) by following the steps below,
and on the next page:
1. Press and hold the CODE SEARCH button until the red
indicator turns on, then release the button.
2. Press and release the desired mode button (TV, VCR, etc.), the
red indicator blinks then stays on.

Troubleshooting
Lifetime Warranty
Remote does not operate your product.
• Press the mode button of the product you want to control.
• Program the remote with a new code.
• Install new batteries. (You might have to reprogram your
remote after installing new batteries.)
• Remote may not be compatible with your product.

or button names might be different than your product.
Red Indicator blinks after you program a product code.
• Remote did not accept the code.
• Try to program the code again or try a different code.
Problems with Learning
Please note that you can only learn one device type under any
Mode key. E.G. you can only learn TV codes under the TV mode,
VCR codes under the VCR mode, etc. If you are trying to learn
from a “Universal” remote, it might have more than one code type
stored under a mode. Also, some functions from some types of
remotes might not be able to be learned. So try learning from
another remote to see if there’s a problem with the type or brand of
remote you are trying to learn from.
1. Use fresh batteries for both the Learning Remote and the
Original Remote.
2. Perform a Master Clear (see page 19) before learning.
3. Place the original remote end-to-end with the Learning Remote
so the IR transmitters on both remotes are directly in line with
each other. Keep the two remotes about one inch away from
each other. For some brands you might need to place the
remotes a bit closer, so some experimentation might be needed.
4. Do not try to learn directly under an incandescent or lowenergy light as these can cause interference with learning. Keep
at least three feet away from any such light sources.
