Philips SBC RU 880 manual Installation, Setting UP the SBC RU880 for Your AUDIO/VIDEO Equipment

English

2. INSTALLATION

The SBC RU880 is ready to operate most Philips TVs, VCRs, satellite tuners, DVD- players, CD-players, tuners, amplifiers and Power Control Systems. For other brands of equipment, it first needs to be set up. This only takes a couple of seconds, thanks to Philips' ‘Simple System Set-up’!!

2.1 SETTING UP THE SBC RU880 FOR YOUR AUDIO/VIDEO EQUIPMENT

Before you start, make sure the SBC RU880 is in the right mode (TV, VCR, SAT, DVD, CD, AUDIO 1 or AUDIO 2) on the LCD display for setting it up. Also, make sure the equipment is switched on, and that you are sitting right in front of it.

If you know the brand name of your equipment (your TV for example) look at the code list at the back of this book to find the first 3-digit code for your TV. Then:

1Press and hold the SMART key (for about three seconds) until the LCD

displays TIMER. Release the SMART key.

2Press Cursor up or Cursor down until the LCD displays SETUP.

3 Press OK.

– The LCD displays ENTER CODE. The SBC RU880 is now in set-up mode. 4 Press OK.

– The SBC RU880 is now in programming mode and the LCD displays the selected equipment (your TV in this case).

5 Press OK.

6 Enter the 3-digit code using the keypad.

– If the code is correct, the display indicates OK for one second and returns to normal operation.

That's it! Press a few keys on the SBC RU880 to check that the equipment (your TV in this case) responds correctly. If it doesn't, or if not all keys respond correctly, repeat the procedure again using the next code in the list. If none of the codes work properly, 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 set up again.

2.2 HANDS-FREE AUTOSEARCH

If you don't know the brand of your equipment or if you can not find it in the codelist, set-up still won't take long. Philips' patented Hands-free 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, 1 minute for CD and 1 minute for Tuners/Amplifiers.)

Before starting the Hands-free Autosearch make sure that the equipment (e.g. TV, VCR) is switched on. If it's a VCR, insert a tape and start play. Once the correct code has been found the equipment switches off, or the VCR stops playing.

2.2.1 To start Hands-free Autosearch

1Press and hold the SMART key (for about three seconds) until the LCD

displays TIMER. Release the SMART key.

2Press Cursor up or Cursor down until the LCD displays SETUP.

3 Press OK.

– The LCD displays ENTER CODE. The SBC RU880 is now in set-up mode. 4 Press Cursor up or Cursor down until the LCD displays AUTOSEARCH.

5 Press OK.

– The SBC RU880 is now in programming mode and the LCD displays the

selected equipment.

6 Press B to start the search.

– Each time a code is transmitted, the code is displayed on the LCD. There is a 1.5 second period between each transmission. When the right

code is found, the equipment switches off (if it’s a VCR, it stops playing). Immediately press B to stop the search. The LCD displays the selected equipment and its code.

If you missed the correct code because the search went too far, switch the equipment back on, then press (P-) to send the previous code again. Keep pressing (P-) down repeatedly until the equipment switches off again.

7Once you've found the correct code, press OK to lock the code in the SBC RU880’s memory. The SBC RU880 goes back to normal operation.

That's it! Now, switch the equipment on again manually, then press a few keys on the SBC RU880 to check that your equipment responds correctly. If it doesn't, try again from step 1 to find a better code. When the SBC RU880 has searched all codes, the LCD will display END for a few seconds before returning

to normal operation. 6
