Philips intelligent remote control manual Troubleshooting

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the remote control fails to learn a function on the first try:

•Try again. Sometimes the second attempt works.

•Keep both remotes stable by placing them on a flat surface.

•Make sure the source remote is pointed at the learning eye, the small hole at the lower end of the case.

•Make sure the source remote is directly in line, not at an angle.

•Make sure the source remote’s batteries aren’t low.

•Avoid programming the remote control under bright fluorescent light. It can interfere with the infrared signals.

•If all else fails, try resetting the remote control. See “To reset the remote control” on page 96.

NOTE Certain buttons on the display can’t be programmed—in particular, any button without a border. A borderless button has no function; it serves as a label for the buttons around it.

IMPORTANT If the source remote—the remote from which the remote control is learning—operates more than one kind of device, be sure it’s in the correct mode when teaching its commands. For example, if the source remote operates both your TV and VCR, and you want to teach the remote control to operate your TV, be sure the source remote is in TV mode when sending commands to the remote control.

TIP To avoid sending signals to nearby equipment while programming the remote control, fold a stiff sheet of paper and place it on the table between the two remotes to form a “tunnel.” The paper tunnel lets the signals from the source remote travel to the remote control without escaping into the room.
