Tip

• Remember to replace the batteries at least once a year.

• Don’t leave the batteries out for longer than one hour, otherwise you will need to set-up the SBC RU641 again.

• While the remote control is actively being moved about, the back-lighting stays on. This consumes more power than normal and may require you to change your batteries more frequently. You can easily turn the back-lighting function off to conserve power. To do this please follow the instructions in the backlighting section.

keep the remote control pointed at your equipment.

– Each time the green LED flashes, another code is sent.

When the right code is found, the equipment switches off. Immediately press the power key to stop the search.

Advice

Carefully read the complete procedure before starting!

1 Make sure you’ve selected the right mode with the mode

selector key.

2 Press and release keys 1 and 6 simultaneously.

Important: after pressing the keys, you have to release them immediately!

ADVANCED TIPS AND TRICKS

Advice

Carefully read the complete procedure before starting!

Changing the device keys

With the mode selector it is possible to select 4 categories of devices you want to operate. Each category (TV, VCR, SAT and DVD) is meant to operate a specific group of equipment:

TV VCR SAT DVD

tv vcr sat dvd

cable

Once you have programmed the functions of a device in one of the categories, it is not possible to program another device in the same category. There is, however, a solution in case you want to program two devices in the same category (2 TV’s, VCR’s, etc.). The following example explains how.

EXAMPLE:

The SAT mode on this remote control is factory preset to control many Philips satellite receivers. You can change the SAT mode (or any mode) to operate another type of device. The following example shows you how to use the SAT mode to operate a second TV:

1 Press the mode selector key to select SAT and make sure

the second TV is switched on.

2 Press and hold keys 1 and 6 simultaneously -for about 3

seconds- until the green LED lights up.

3 On the keypad, press keys 9, 9 and 2.

4 Press the mode selector key to select TV mode.

5 Press key 1.

– The LED flashes twice to indicate successful set up.

That’s it!

Don’t forget to set up the SBC RU644 to operate this second TV. See the section Set-up for use.
