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

REWIND

, and

REC

) to

Punch-Through control from any Mode programmed
with TV, SAT or Cable codes to the last

VCR

DVD

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 punch-
through control to the

Mode device without

needing to change to

Mode. Please refer to the next

page for more information.

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

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.

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.
