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 TV 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 SETUP buttons.

Referring to “Programming with Code Search” on page 9, 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 SETUP 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 9, 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 TV Mode, to turn your TV on, press and hold the TV Mode button for more than one second to transmit the Power On button command.

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, FF, REWIND, and REC) to Punch-Through control from any Mode programmed with TV, SAT or Cable codes to the last VCR, DVD or 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 3 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 TV Mode device without needing to change to TV Mode.
