Congratulations on your purchase of a Philips

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 V ideo 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 Magnavox 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 Magnavox remote
and we hope it will give you many years of
service.

Battery Saver

Y our remote automatically

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.

Punch-through to VCR/DVD mode i.e. the 6 keys (PLAY,
PAUSE, STOP, FF, REWIND, and REC) is only allowed

in modes programmed for TV or Cable codes.

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.
