control? Are you tired of tearing
the house apart trying to find if
someone has stuffed the remote
under the couch, put it on the
shelves, or hid it in the desk? Well,
your TV remote can save you all
that looking by automatically
signaling its location to you.
Here's how it works:
LBEQINJ
Press the POWER button on
the set to turn the TV ON.
Note: Normally you can press any
button on the front of the TV to
turn the set ON. But for the remote
locator to work you need to be sure
to use the Power button at the TV.
A "locating remote" message
shows on die TV screen.
Your TV is attempting
to locate a lost remote
Within a few seconds a
<l>
chirping or beeping sound will
begin to come from the remote
control hand unit.
The remote will continue to signal
its location for around 30 seconds.
Normal TV program sound will not
be heard while the remote locator is
working.
Once you find the remote just
press any button on the remote and
the beeping sound will stop.
The remote is now ready for
normal TV feature use.
Smari III 1.1’
Remember, the remote
locator may not properly
receive its "homing" signal from
the TV if it has been placed on a
metal shelf or counter material.
Also, since there’s a special type
of radio frequency "homing"
signal receiver inside the remote
we are required to notify you that
any changes or modifications not
expressly approved by Philips
Consumer Electronics Company
could void the user's authority to
operate the remote equipment
26

For most homes this step would
not be needed but for your
information:
Up to 9 different remote locator
address codes can be set on which the
TV can send out its "homing” signal.
TMs is done in case there is more than
one TV (with a remote locator)
present, and you want only one
specific remote to be signaled when the
TV is turned ON.*
To set a Locator Address Code:
<i>
LOCATOR CODE button on the
remote. (Also be sure the TV
SYSTEM button on the remote has
been pressed.)
You will need a pencil or pen to press
the recessed button.
The TV shows the present Remote
Locator Code.
Ri Mill I
With TV turned ON, press the
See the above infonnation on
how to use the Locator Code
Button for Programming.
Press any number button (0-9) on
the remote to set or change the
Locator Code.
Smart IIi i,
Remember, if batteries are
replaced the Locator Code
will need to be reentered.
When setting the Locator Code if any
button, other than the number buttons,
are pressed the remote will return to
its noimal operation mode.
♦For owners who live in an apartment
(townhouse or condominium)
complex, this task may be necessary
since the remote locator's signal can
be sent and detected directly through
adjoming walls.

send commands to the other product

allows for stereo sound to be transmitted with the TV picture.
On Screen Displays (OSD) * Refers to the wording or messages
generated by the television (or VCR) to help the user with specific feature

player, etc. Provides optimum picture resolution, sharpness, and
clarity.
