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 and DVR buttons. We have highlighted the DVD buttons in blue for easy referencing. We have also highlighted the DVR (Tivo/ Replay) buttons in green for easy referencing on the remote keypad. In addition to DVD and DVR, we have included Satellite functionality by adding the Controls,

MENU, GUIDE, PAGE UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT, ENTER, QUIT/CLEAR, INFO, SELECT and 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.

We’ve even taken this one step further and added three Macro functions. A Macro allows you to program a series of steps in one keystroke. For example, with one keystroke, you can program your remote to turn on all your components.

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

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 10, 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 10, 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.

Setup, cont.

Code Learning

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.

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, CODE

SEARCH or MACRO 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 21) 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.

1716

Tips On Learning, cont.

IR Transmitter Finder Feature

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.

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

Learning Commands

Clearing Commands

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 17).

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.

To Clear all Learned Commands under a mode

Clearing learned commands is helpful if, for example, you replace your CD player with another brand or model. If you had learned a feature from your old CD player’s original remote on to this remote (such as RANDOM PLAY), that feature would no longer work for your new CD player. Should you wish to remove or clear one or more “learned” commands, follow the steps below:

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

2. Press and release the button for the mode you want to clear (TV, VCR, etc.). The red indicator blinks off.

3. Press and release the LEARN button TWICE. The red indicator blinks off.

4. Press and release the CODE SEARCH button. The red indicator turns off. All learned Commands under that mode are now cleared.

Master Clear - To Clear all Learned Commands under all modes

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

2. Press and release the LEARN button TWICE. The red indicator blinks off.

3. Press and release the CODE SEARCH button. The red indicator turns off. All Learned commands in the remote are now cleared.

The MACRO button, in conjunction with digits 1, 2 and 3, lets you to program and store up to 3 sequences of IR Commands (button-presses) of your choice. One press of the respective Macro digit button results in that sequence of IR commands being sent. Any sequence of commands that you regularly perform can be reduced to two button presses (MACRO button followed by digit 1, 2 or 3 button). For example pressing MACRO followed by a single button can turn on your TV, turn on your cable box, change to your favorite channel, turn on your VCR, and tell it to record, etc. A total of 10 button presses can be stored under each of the 3 Macro digits.

Macro Notes

1. You might want to add “delays” in a Macro sequence (e.g. to allow for your TV warm-up time). Delays can be added by using the PAUSE button followed by the number of seconds delay required. For example, to enter a delay of 3 seconds, press and release PAUSE followed by 3 (in step 4 of “To Setup a Macro” on the previous page). Maximum delay is 9 seconds. It is not possible to have a “0” digit entered after Pause i.e. there is no zero delay.

2. There is an automatic delay of half a second between each IR transmission in a Macro sequence.

3. * The first button in a Macro sequence MUST be a Mode button (TV, VCR, etc.).
