4.10 Reminders and Timers

English

Setting a Reminder

Setting a Timer

4.10.1 Difference Between Reminder and Timer

The aim of the reminder/timer is to remind you that the
program you scheduled for viewing is about to start. The
main difference between a reminder and a timer is that
you set reminders from the Channel Banner or
Program Guide. To set a reminder, select one of the
future programs of the Channel Banner or Program
Guide, and press OK. Then you are prompted to decide
whether you want to set a viewing or a recording
reminder.

Timers are independent from the broadcast schedule.
You will set timers from the Timer Manager. To get
access to the Timer Manager, either press the REC
button or select the Timer Manager item from the
Main Menu. Timer Manager contains all timers and
reminders defined so far. It allows you not only to set
timers but also to delete or modify selected
timers/reminders. You will be asked to enter Timer
Manager each time any conflicts between
reminders/timers occur. You will find more information
on Timer Manager later in this manual.

4.10.2 Viewing and Recording Reminders/Timers

There are two types of reminders/timers: a viewing
reminder/timer and a recording reminder/timer. If

you have set a reminder/timer, its pop-up appears 1.5
minute before the program starts. If you do not respond
to the viewing reminder/timer pop-up, the
reminder/timer is canceled. If you do not respond to the
recording reminder/timer pop-up, the receiver tunes to
the appropriate channel at specified start time.

Viewing Timer Pop-up

Recording Interruption Pop-up

20 DAY TO DAY OPERATION

Please note that when you set a recording
reminder/timer, the recording is protected from being
interrupted, which is indicated on the rotary display. If
you want to interrupt the recording, press EXIT. This
brings up a pop-up informing you how long the recording
will last. Then, you will be asked to press OK to interrupt
the recording or press EXIT to dismiss the pop-up from
the screen.

4.10.3 Reminder/Timer Conflicts

Your receiver allows you to set up to 8 reminders/timers.
Each subsequent reminder/timer is checked against any
conflicts with the previously set reminders/timers. If you
set a reminder or timer and such a conflict occurs, a
conflict pop-up appears. You will be prompted to press
EXIT to cancel the current reminder, or to press OK to
get access to Timer Manager. The currently set
reminder will be listed in the Timer Manager as a
disabled reminder (marked with the "?" sign).

Reminder Conflict Pop-up This reminder can only be accepted if you delete any

conflicting timers/reminders or you change some of its
data.
For more info, see the Timer Manager section below.

Timer Manager contains a list of all reminders and

timers defined so far. In the Timer Manager you can
perform the following operations.

Please note, however, that you may only use the Easy Recording feature provided that your
recorder supports it.

• First of all, consult User Manual of your recorder equipment to check if it supports Easy
Recording. Please note that most Philips VCR/DVD recorders support one of the two Easy
Recording options: either Prepare Record (to be checked first) or Record Link.

• Also, both your TV and VCR shall be equipped with two SCART sockets.

If your equipment satisfies above two conditions, connect your receivers as shown in the

7.2 Change the Remote Control and receiver "Device" Settings

If you have other equipment in your home and the Philips remote control of your digital receiver
interferes with them, you can change the setting of your remote control and the setting of your
receiver as well. By default, your receiver is recognized as Device 1 and the remote control is set
to control Device 1. You may change this identifier to Device 2 using the System Settings screen
from the Settings submenu. Please note however, that you will also have to change the remote
control setting in order to be able to control Device 2.

To change the setting of your remote control, proceed as follows:

1 Make sure that the remote control is in the STB mode (Press Mode button, the STB LED shall

blink, if a different LED does, press the Mode button as many time as necessary to get STB LED
blinking).

2 Press number keys 1 and 3 simultaneously and hold them until LED blinks twice.
3 Release these two keys. The STB LED is still on to indicate that the remote control is in the

programming mode.

4 Enter the new code setting within 60 seconds (the LED is blinking once after each digit entry):

Either 0048 for Device 2 or 0038 for Device 1 (factory setting).

Alternatively you may reset your remote control to its default setting (Device 1) by removing the
batteries and waiting for more than 3 minutes to re-insert them.

STB, TV, Video Recorder, DVD and Tuner ­Amplifier

8.1 Setting up your remote control

By default at power up, for instance at first installation or at battery replacememt, your remote
control is preset to control your terrestrial receiver as well as most of the Philips audio/video
appliances.
If you have other brands of appliances, or if the presets do not control your Philips appliance,
please follow the procedure here below.

Note: some of the functions described in the next pages may not be available or have the same behaviour
for all brand of the same appliances.

1 Press the MODE button to select the type of appliance you want to set up (TV, VCR, DVD or

Amp/Tuner). Pressing the MODE button once will remind you of the MODE you are in through
green light indicators: left for STB, middle for TV, right for VCR, left/middle for DVD, middle/right
for Amp/Tuner.

To set the MODE, press the MODE button several times until the desired mode is signaled by
the light(s). The sequence is: STB ➔ TV ➔ VCR ➔ DVD ➔ Amp/Tuner. At every key press, lights
blink to indicate in which MODE you are in.

2 Press digits 1 and 3 simultaneously until the lights corresponding to the selected mode blink twice

and remain on.

3 Enter the 4 digit code .The lights corresponding to the selected mode blink once at each digit

entry. You will find a list of codes at the end of this manual. (If several codes are possible, go
through this procedure with the 1st code and try your remote control. If you are not successful,
repeat the procedure with the second code, and so on).

4 If a valid 4-digit code has been entered, the lights will switch off and blink twice. If not, go back to

step 1. Pressing any key other than digit keys and standby button will automatically exit this
procedure.

We advice you to fill in the table below to remind your personal remote control settings, this will
be helpful the day you have to replace the remote control batteries (see NOTE 2 below).

Important Notes:
1- You need to reset the STB mode to the factory mode.

English

If you have made a mistake changing the default setting of the STB mode resulting in the impossibility to
control your terrestrial receiver, then please refer to above description.

2- Battery change.

If the battery change takes more than 1 minute the remote control may return to the "Philips brand
factory settings". Therefore you shall proceed with a new setting of your remote control, with the help of
the table above, for your non Philips branded appliances.

3- All manufacturers are concerned about the constant improvement of their products. Although the

remote control is compatible with most equipment of the brands mentionned at the end of this manual
(see Brand Code List), Philips cannot guarantee its operation with the complete range of products on
the market.
