Congratulations on your purchase of Philips Universal
Remote Control. Philips Universal Remotes let you
replace a broken or lost remote or combine more than
one remote into one. In addition, this remote is equipped
with a command learning feature which lets the remote
learn commands from your original equipment remote
control!
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.
We focused on making this remote consumer friendly.
This remote has dedicated DVD buttons. We have
highlighted the DVD buttons in blue for easy
referencing. In addition to DVD, we have included
Satellite functionality by adding the Controls, MENU,
GUIDE, UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT, ENTER, CLEAR/
EXIT, INFO, SELECT/OK buttons right on the keypad.
If there is a function on one of your original remotes that
isn’t on this remote, we’ve added the easy learning
feature that allows you to “learn” favorite functions from
your original remote right on to this one.
Thank you for buying a Philips remote and we hope it
will give you many years of service.

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
Codes are stored in permanent memory while you are
changing batteries so you will not lose any codes
stored in the remote while you are changing batteries.
Power-On Default
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
8 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.

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.
INPUT
When in TV mode the INPUT button performs the
INPUT source switch function.
When in a mode that has been programmed for VCR the
INPUT button performs the TV/VCR antenna switch
function.
When in a mode that has been programmed for Cable the
INPUT button performs the A.B switch function.
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
8, 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.
When in a mode that has been programmed for SAT the
INPUT button performs the TV/SAT switch function.
When in a mode that has been programmed for DVD the
INPUT button performs the DVD Setup function.
OK means same as SELECT - some manufacturers use
OK label and others use SELECT label on their remotes.
CC will activate the Closed Caption feature if your
device has that feature.
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 8, setup a device Mode (e.g. TV) with
the correct code for your device.
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.

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.
Any Mode chosen for Volume/Mute control MUST have
its own Volume/Mute function or the Volume/Mute
buttons will do nothing.
Setting ALL Volume/Mute Control to any one Mode
This routine can set all Modes to “punch-through” to
any one chosen Mode for Volume/Mute button control
without the needing to change to that Mode.
1. Press and hold the CODE SEARCH button until the
red indicator turns on, then release the button.
2. Press and hold the MUTE button until the red
indicator blinks off, then release the button.
3. Press and release the desired Mode button (TV,
VCR, etc.) for Volume/Mute control, the red
indicator blinks then stays on.
4. Press and release the MUTE button and the red
indicator turns off. The red indicator will blink
rapidly for three seconds if the Mode you have
selected has no Volume/Mute control.
5. All other Modes will now punch-through to your
chosen Mode for Volume/Mute control.
6. All “Visual” and “Audio” programmed Modes will
now punch-through to the respective Modes you
have chosen for Volume/Mute control.
Setting any Mode to use its own Volume/Mute Control
This routine can set any Mode to use only its own
Volume/Mute control. Note - If your chosen Mode has
no Volume/Mute functions of its own then the Volume/
Mute buttons will do nothing.
1. Press and hold the CODE SEARCH button until the
red indicator turns on, then release the button.
2. Press and hold the MUTE button until the red
indicator blinks off, then release the button.
3. Press and release the desired Mode button (TV,
VCR, etc.), the red indicator blinks then stays on.
4. Press and release the VOLUME- (Down) button, the
red indicator blinks then stays on.
5. Press and release the MUTE button and the red
indicator turns off.
6. All “Visual” and “Audio” programmed Modes will
now punch-through to the respective Modes you
have chosen for Volume/Mute control.

Code Learning
Tips On Learning, cont.
The learning feature lets you “learn” functions from
your original remote control. For example - you may
want to use your remote to operate the RANDOM
PLAY feature from your original CD remote control.
This remote is equipped with an “easy learning” feature
that lets you “learn” features (such as RANDOM PLAY
from your original CD remote).
Tips On Learning
You can only learn one device type under any one
Mode button e.g. only learn TV codes under the TV
Mode, VCR codes under the VCR Mode, etc. If you are
trying to learn from a “Universal” remote, it might have
more than one code type stored under a Mode. Try
learning from another remote to see if there’s a problem
with the type or brand of remote you are trying to learn
from.
a. Some functions from some types of remotes might
not be able to be learned.
b. No functions may be stored under LEARN, or
CODE SEARCH buttons.
c. Only one original device type can be learned per
individual Mode.
d. Use fresh batteries for both the Learning Remote
and the Original Remote.
e. Keep at least three feet away from incandescent or
low-energy lights when learning.
f. Perform a Master Clear (see page 18) before learning
and try learning 2 or 3 commands initially. Then
carry out a Master Clear before completely learning
your original remote’s commands.
g. Place the original remote end-to-end with the
Learning Remote so the IR transmitters on both
remotes are directly in line with each other. You may
need to adjust the height of either remote to achieve
this. Use the IR Transmitter Finder feature to assist
you.
h. Keep the distance between the two remotes to
approximately 1 inch and do not move or change the
distance between the two remotes until you have
learned all the required buttons for that Mode.
i. When Learning, do not release the button being
Learned until the red indicator has blinked off for
half a second.
j. Avoid learning your original remote Volume/Mute
buttons unless you are sure these operate the same
device e.g. some original DVD remotes include TV
Volume/Mute button control and can be two
different types of code.
k. Avoid learning your original remote VCR transport
buttons unless you are sure these operate the same
device e.g. some original TV remotes include VCR
button control and can be two different types of
code.
l. If learning the first or second buttons for a Mode
results in continuous errors then try the following:
i. End the Learn session by pressing the CODE
SEARCH key.
ii. Clear out the learned commands for that Mode.
iii. Check the IR transmitters are correctly aligned
between the two remotes (use the IR Transmitter
Finder facility).
iv. Adjust the distance between the two remotes to be
closer (e.g. half an inch) or a further away (e.g. 2
inches) from each other.
v. Try learning the original remote for that Mode again.
If problems reoccur with the same button check the
original remote button being learned – does it transmit?
Does it operate the target device? Try learning that
button under a different clear Mode. If it learns okay
then it is likely to be a different code type from the
others and cannot be learned under the same Mode.
1514
IR Transmitter Finder Feature
Learning Commands
This feature assists you in identifying where your
original remotes IR transmitter is located and is
particularly useful if your original remote’s IR
transmitter is hidden behind a lens.
1. Point both remotes facing each other by
approximately 1 inch apart (see Tips on Learning on
previous pages)
2. Press and hold the CODE SEARCH button until the
red indicator turns on, then release the button.
3. Press and release the desired Mode button (TV,
VCR, etc.), the red indicator blinks then stays on.
4. Press and release the LEARN button, the red
indicator blinks then stays on.
5. Press and hold any Original Remote button and
move the Original Remote to the left and right, and/
or, up and down in front of the Learning remote IR
transmitter. The red indicator will remain on if no IR
from the Original remote is found and the red
indicator will blink on and off more rapidly when the
IR transmitters are lining up. The point where the
red indicator blinks most rapidly is where the two IR
transmitters are aligned. Note some original remotes
will only transmit IR on the initial button press then
stop. In these cases, quickly press and release the
original remote button repeatedly during this
procedure.
6. You can now learn a button from your original
remote by continuing from “Step 4” in the
“Learning Commands” section on the next page, or,
to exit at this point, press and release the CODE
SEARCH button
The learning feature allows you to “learn” functions
from your original remote control. For example - you may
want to use your remote to operate the RANDOM PLAY
feature from your original CD remote control. This
remote is equipped with an “easy learning” feature that
allows you to “learn” features (such as RANDOM PLAY
from your original CD remote) by following the steps
below, and on the next page:
1. Press and hold the CODE SEARCH button until the
red indicator turns on, then release the button.
2. Press and release the desired mode button (TV,
VCR, etc.), the red indicator blinks then stays on.
3. Press and release the LEARN button, the red
indicator blinks then stays on.
4. Press and release the Learning Remote button that
you want to teach (e.g. POWER).
5. Point both remotes facing each other by approximately 1 inch apart (see tips on page 14).
6. Press and hold the Original Remote button (e.g.
Power) until the red indicator blinks once and stays
on. If there is a learning problem, the indicator blinks
for three seconds and stays on. If this happens,
repeat Steps 4 to 6.
7. Repeat Steps 4-6 for other buttons you want to
learn.
8. Press and release the CODE SEARCH button when
all desired remote commands are learned. Code
Learning is now complete.
6.
Line up your remotes (that you’re learning from) in front of
the Learning remote, on a hard surface approx. 1 inch apart.
