It takes the place of as many as four separate remote controls and can operate the most-used functions of almost any brand of TV, VCR, satellite tuner, cable decoder and CD-player. Best of all, it's quick to setup and easy to use! Here's how. AT A GLANCE Once you've installed the batteries, this remote is ready to work with any Philips TV, VCR, satellite tuner or CD-player. Simply press the mode selector as indicated below - for the Philips device you wish to operate, and press to test. For other brands of equipment, it needs to be set up first- see Getting Started.

To switch between modes, press once to activate, then press it again to advance to the next mode.

Try it out! The easiest way to find out how your new remote works, is to try pressing the keys and see what happens - don't worry, you won't damage anything! Most of the keys work just like on your original remote control. Of course, if your TV or VCR does not offer a specific function, pressing that key will have no effect. DON'T FORGET THE BATTERIES!
You'll need two 1.5V batteries, type R03, UM4 or AAA only. Put them in like this.
Remember to replace the batteries at least once a year. Don't leave the batteries out for longer than one hour, otherwise you will need to set the remote up again.
GETTING STARTED This remote is ready to work with any Philips TV, VCR ,satellite tuner or CD-player. For other brands of equipment, it needs to be set up first. That only takes a couple of seconds, thanks to Philips' Simple System Setup! Before you start, make sure you're in the right mode for the equipment you're setting up (TV, VCR, SAT or AUDIO). The green indicator LEDs show which mode is selected. To switch between modes, press once to activate, then press it again to advance to the next mode. Also, make sure the equipment is switched on. Sit right in front of it. If you know the brand of your equipment, look at the code list at the back of this booklet, and find the first 3-digit code for your equipment. 1 Press and hold and 3 at the same time until the green LED lights up. (Release the keys, the green LED should stay on) 2 Enter the 3-digit code using the keypad. The green LED blinks twice. That's it! Now, press a few keys on the remote to check that the equipment responds correctly. If it doesn't, try again using the next code in the list. In the rare instance that none of the codes work, follow the instructions in the next section. Tip: Make a note of the code inside the battery case, and in the back of this booklet in case you ever need to setup again. If you don't know the brand of your equipment or if you can not find it in the codelist, setup still won't take long. Philips' patented Handsfree autosearch tests all the codes one after another and finds the right one for you! The search time averages about 90 seconds. (Maximum search time is 5 minutes for TV; 2 minutes for VCR, 4 minutes for SAT and 2 minutes for AUDIO.) Make sure the TV, VCR etc. is switched on. If it's a VCR, insert a tape and start playback. You will know when the correct code has been found because the equipment will switch off or the VCR will stop playback. 1 Press and hold lights up. and

2 Press to start the search. Each time the green LED blinks, another code is sent. When the right code is found, the equipment switches off (the VCR will stop playing). 3 Immediately press to stop the search. If you missed the correct code because the search went too far, switch the equipment back on, then press P (down) to send the previous code again. Press P (down) repeatedly until the equipment switches off again. 4 Once you've found the correct code, press The green LED blinks twice. to lock it in memory.
That's it! Now, switch the equipment manually on again, then press a few keys on the remote to check that the equipment responds correctly. In the rare instance that it doesn't, try again from step 1 to find a better code. Note that code! To save time if you ever need to setup again, make a note of the correct code inside the battery case and in the back of this booklet. In case you have forgotten to note the code you can still 'read out' the code from the remote. Here's how: 1 Make sure you've selected the right mode (with ). Then press and release and 6 at the same time; the green LED lights up. 2 Press. The green LED goes out. 3 Press 1 and count the number of times the green LED blinks.
