The Philips universal remote is a great device that can be programmed to operate almost any TV, DVD player, Blu-ray device, set-top box or cable box. While the setup process may be different for each specific model, it’s essentially the same. We will hold down the device button until the light flashes, enter the code for the brand to be connected, and then test the keys to see if they work or not. The most common mistake is that the user uses a code for that manufacturer but different product model. If the code entered is incorrect, don’t worry; you can still try again using another code from the same brand.
Steps
Initial setup
- Universal Remote usually clears all memory settings on its own after being synced with more than 3 devices. You should consider buying 2 separate remotes if more than 3 devices need to be used.
- A list of compatible brands will be listed in the remote’s manual. You’ll find a list with a bunch of code behind it.
- You need to make sure that the remote has batteries installed before starting the installation process. Universal remotes usually don’t come with batteries, but they use AA batteries so they’re easy to handle.
- The LED may be blue, but most older remote models use red.
- With the old remote, you don’t need to wait for the light to come on after long pressing the device button. The lights may or may not blink. We just need to hold down the device button for 5 seconds and continue programming.
Tip: Most device buttons are pretty obvious. TVs, VCRs, and DVDs all correspond to those devices. The STB represents the receiver and decoder, and this is the button you need to press when you want to synchronize the remote with a newer cable box and playback device (like a Roku or TiVo). BD represents Blu-ray player.
Enter a valid code for TV
- Familiar brands like Samsung, Westinghouse or LG have 20-30 codes for their devices. Please mark specific devices so you don’t have to spend too much time searching in the future.
- With newer TVs and remotes, a list of available codes will pop up on the screen once you activate programming mode with the device button.
- Older devices often use 4-digit codes, while more modern products use 5-digit codes.
Tip: If one of the device-specific codes doesn’t work, you can retry the whole process with another model number of the same brand. Sometimes patches and updates can interfere with code not working on certain devices.
- The model number is usually located on the back of the remote.
- If the code doesn’t work, you most likely won’t be able to enter a new code right away. With most older remotes, we need to do the entire setup process from scratch. If the red or green light on the remote control flashes once and stays on, the code just passed is invalid and you can re-enter the new code.
Using the remote
- It may take 5-60 seconds for the device and remote to turn off.
- Note: some buttons on the Philips remote will not work with certain devices. For example, the “record” button may not work with cable boxes or DVR equipment, but will work with TVs and receivers.
- Move trees or obstacles to ensure that the remote’s signal fully reaches the device.
Tip: When you remove the battery in the Philips universal remote, the memory settings are kept for 5 minutes. After that time, you will have to program the device from scratch.
Advice
- There are many different remotes that have been manufactured by Philips over the years, so the usage process of some remotes will be slightly different. To know about that difference, you should consult the manual that came with the remote before starting the setup process.
