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.

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.

Thank you for buying a Philips remote and we hope it will give you many years of service.

Battery Installation

1. On the back of the remote, push down on the tab and lift the cover off.

2. Match the batteries to the + and - marks inside the battery case, then insert 2 AAA Alkaline batteries.

3. Press the battery cover back into place.

Battery Saver

Your remote automatically turns off if the buttons are depressed more than 30 seconds. This will save your batteries should your remote get stuck in a place where the buttons remain depressed (e.g., between the sofa cushions).

Code Saver

You will have up to 10 minutes to change the batteries in your remote without losing codes you have programmed. However, do not press any buttons until batteries are installed in the remote. If buttons are pressed without batteries in the remote, all codes will be lost.

1. Press and hold the CODE SEARCH button until the red indicator stays on, then release the CODE SEARCH button.

2. Press and release the desired mode button (TV, VCR, etc.). The red indicator blinks, then stays lit.

3. Enter the 4 digit code from the code tables (on separate sheet). Note: after a valid code entry, the red indicator turns off. For an invalid code, the red indicator flashes.

4. With your device on, press CHANNEL UP. If the device responds, no further programming is required. Note: If some buttons do not operate your equipment, try one of the other codes for your brand.

Write your codes down here for easy reference later.

The remote powers on in TV mode.

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 7 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.

If your product does not respond after you have tried all the codes for your brand, or if your brand is not listed, try searching for your code by following these steps.

1. Manually turn on the device (TV, VCR, etc.) to be controlled.

2. Press and hold the CODE SEARCH button until the red indicator stays on, then release the CODE SEARCH button.

3. Press and quickly release the desired mode button (TV, VCR, etc.). The red indicator blinks off once.

4. Press the CHANNEL UP button repeatedly (up to 300 times) until the device to be controlled changes channel. The red indicator blinks off with each button press. If you accidentally overshoot the code required, press the CHANNEL DOWN button to backtrack through the library until the device changes channel. Pressing CHANNEL UP changes direction to forward again.

5. Press and release MUTE to install the code.

Code Search, cont.

Code Identification Feature

Most users will store VCR codes under the VCR button, Cable codes under CABLE, etc. If (for example) you want to store a VCR code under CABLE, first follow the procedure for Direct Code Entry (previous page) and press CABLE in step 2 of Direct Code Entry, then enter ANY VCR code in step 3 of Direct Code Entry. Then follow the steps above for Code Search (or Brand Search, below). Note: If the device does not have a

CHANNEL UP button, use PLAY (VCR only) or POWER instead. Code Search starts from the currently

stored 4 digit number under that mode.

Code Search by Brand

Lets you search for a code for a specific Brand within the Code Library for a particular manufacturer.

1. Turn on the device (TV, VCR, etc.) to be controlled.

2. Press and hold the CODE SEARCH button until the red indicator remains on, then release CODE SEARCH button.

3. Press and quickly release the desired mode button (TV, VCR, etc.). The red indicator blinks off once.

4. Press and release the numeric button (0-9) corresponding to desired Manufacturer (see table on code list sheet). The red indicator blinks off once. Note, pressing “0” performs a full library search same as normal Code Search Method on previous page.

5. Press the CHANNEL UP button ((or POWER or PLAY (VCR only)) repeatedly until the device to be controlled changes channel. The red indicator blinks off with each button press. If you accidentally overshoot the code required, press the CHANNEL DOWN button to backtrack through the library until the device changes channel. Pressing CHANNEL UP changes direction to forward again.

6. Press and release MUTE to install the code.

The Code Identification Feature allows you to identify the 4 digit library code stored under your device key. For example, if you want to find out what 4 digit code is stored under your TV device key, follow the six steps below:

1. Press and hold the CODE SEARCH button until the red indicator stays on. Release the CODE SEARCH button.

2. Press and release the desired mode button (TV, VCR, etc.). The red indicator blinks, then stays lit.

3. Press and release the CODE SEARCH button. The red indicator blinks off.

4. To find the first digit for the code stored under the mode key pressed in step 2, press each numeric key from 0-9 in turn. When the red indicator blinks off the number you pressed is the first digit for the code you are searching for.

5. To find the second digit, repeat step 4, this time when the red indicator blinks off this is the second digit.

6. Repeat step 4 to find the third and fourth digits.

TV/VCR

When in TV mode the TV/VCR button performs the INPUT source switch function.

When in a mode that has been programmed for VCR the TV/VCR button performs the TV/VCR antenna switch function.

When in a mode that has been programmed for Cable the TV/VCR button performs the A.B switch function.

When in a mode that has been programmed for SAT the TV/VCR button performs the TV/SAT switch function.

Brand Search Method entry is now complete. Note: When all codes under a Brand have been searched the red indicator flashes rapidly for 3 seconds.

When in a mode that has been programmed for DVD the TV/VCR button performs the DVD Setup function.

Setup, cont.

Programming Combo Device Codes

Some Combo devices (e.g. TV/VCR, TV/DVD, DVD/ VCR, etc.) will require you to set up two different Mode buttons to control both parts of the Combo device. For example, if you have a TV/DVD Combo, you might need to set up one code under the TV button to control the TV part AND a separate code (under any other Mode button) to control the DVD part.

Controlling Combo Devices

Some Combo devices (e.g. TV/VCR, TV/DVD, DVD/ VCR, etc.) have separate buttons on the original remote to select the part of the Combo device to be controlled. For example, if your Combo device is a DVD/VCR then its original remote might have separate DVD and VCR buttons for selection of the Combo part you would control. The equivalent button functions can be found on your Philips remote by using the device Mode and CODE SEARCH buttons.

Referring to “Programming with Code Search” on page 7, setup a device Mode (e.g. DVD) with the correct code for your Combo device. Assuming the DVD/VCR Combo device is the example and its code is programmed under DVD Mode, press and hold the DVD Mode button for more than one second to send the DVD button command. To send the VCR button command, quickly press and release the CODE

SEARCH button followed by pressing and releasing the DVD Mode button. This method can be applied

similarly to all Combo devices (e.g. TV/VCR, TV/DVD, DVD/VCR, etc.) and is available for all Modes. Note this feature is not supported by all codes.

Controlling Devices Requiring Separate Power On and Off Buttons

Some devices (e.g. certain RCA TVs) require separate Power On and Power Off buttons to turn the device on and off. The equivalent button functions can be found on your Philips remote by using the device Mode and POWER buttons. Referring to “Programming with Code Search” on page 7, setup a device Mode (e.g. TV) with the correct code for your device.

Controlling Devices Requiring Separate Power On and Off Buttons, cont.

To turn the TV off, press and release the POWER button to transmit the Power Off button command. This method can be applied similarly to any device and is available for all Modes. Note this feature is not supported by all codes.

VCR/DVD/DVR Punch-Through Feature

This remote allows the 6 VCR transport buttons (i.e. PLAY, PAUSE, STOP, FF, REWIND, and REC) to Punch-Through control from any Mode programmed with TV, SAT or Cable codes to the last VCR, DVD or DVR programmed Mode you used. Normally other types of remotes only punch-through (from another Mode) on the 6 VCR buttons to the device programmed under the VCR Mode button. This is not much use if you are using a DVD programmed under a Mode other than VCR. For example, if you have 2 DVD, VCR or DVR devices programmed into this remote, the last one you accessed on the remote will be the one that has control of the 6 VCR transport buttons when in any other Mode. This feature will not operate if the programmed TV, SAT or Cable code has its own VCR transport button control e.g. a TV Combo, SAT/PVR, etc.

Volume/Mute Control and Punch-Through Feature

This remote lets you select which device Mode controls your Volume/Mute buttons. The remote is initially set (factory default) for all device Modes programmed with “Visual” codes (e.g. TV, VCR, DVD, DVR, SAT & CABLE) and “Audio” codes (e.g. CD & AUDIO) to use their own Volume/Mute control if present. If the programmed “Visual” code has no Volume/Mute operation of its own then those buttons will punchthrough control to the TV Mode device without needing to change to TV Mode. Please refer to the next page for more information.

Assuming a TV device is the example and its code is programmed under TV Mode, to turn your TV on, press and hold the TV Mode button for more than one second to transmit the Power On button command.
