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

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.

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

Mode, to turn your TV on, press

and hold the

Mode button for more than one

second to transmit the Power On button command.

Code Identification Feature

red indicator stays on. Release the

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.

Sleep Timer

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
