Philips Programming the Remote Control for Your Home Theater System

REMOTE CONTROL

Programming the universal remote control (FR 985, FR 986, FR 995, FR 996 only)

You can identify the universal remote control by the inscription Multibrand/Universal.

The universal remote control must be programmed to use the codes for your appliances of different brands. This is done by keying in a 4-digit code or by scanning the codes until the correct one is found. We recommend to using the 4-digit code. This method is faster and more reliable. The code scanning method should be used only if you cannot find the code for one of your appliances. The codes are listed at the end of this book.

Important!

Use the remote control buttons for programming, not the buttons of the receiver or other appliances.

Programming with the 4-digit code

1Keep the source button for the appliance which should be controlled and2 pressed for 3 seconds.

2Key in the 4-digit code for the appliance (codetable at the end of the booklet).

Notes: – If more than 4 digits are entered, the remote control will recognize only the ones keyed in first.

–If you do not key in a code within 30 seconds the remote control will switch off the programming function without changing the code.

–To program a new appliance, simply overwrite the old code by entering a new one.

Scanning the codetable

1Switch on the appliance which should be controlled.

2Keep the source button for the appliance which should be controlled and2 pressed for 3 seconds.

3Press and release 2 again.

yThe remote control sends the codes for channel up or standby (depending on the selected source) for one brand after the other.

4As soon as the appliance reacts – switches to the next channel or to standby – press 2 to confirm the code. yThe identified code will be used.

•If the set does not react within 2 minutes, the code for this appliance is not stored in the remote control. The code of the remote control will remain unchanged.

Note: When taking out the batteries of the remote control for more than 1 minute the codes must be reprogrammed.

Once you have found and tested the codes for your various appliances, you may want to write them down here.
