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.

Power-On Default

The remote powers on in TV mode.

Code Setup

The SETUP 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.

Direct Code Entry

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

Code Search

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 SETUP button until the red indicator stays on, then release the SETUP 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.

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.

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

Sleep Timer

The SLEEP button operates the Sleep function of your device providing it supports the Sleep function. Alternatively, you can enable the remote to turn off your TV after a period of 1 to 99 minutes as shown below. This feature is only available for the TV Mode and the remote must be in TV Mode to set a Sleep Timer. This feature works even if your TV does not have its own Sleep function.

1. Press and release the TV Mode button.
2. Press and hold the SETUP button until the red indicator stays on. Release the SETUP button.
3. Press and release the SLEEP button (Note any previously set Sleep timer is cancelled at this point and the remote returns to normal operation).

5. TV Sleep Timer now set.
6. Leave the Remote pointing towards the TV with an unobstructed path.

To cancel the Sleep Timer, press and release the POWER button in TV Mode or repeat Steps 1, 2 and 3 above.

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 SETUP 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 SETUP 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 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.

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 SETUP 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 SETUP 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.
