Philips SBC RU 880 manual If the SBC RU880 displays Error, If you run out of keys on the SBC RU880

English

– The LCD displays PRESS ORIG, indicating that the SBC RU880 is ready to receive a signal.

2.4.2 If the SBC RU880 displays ERROR

If the SBC RU880 displays ERROR for a second, followed by PRESS ORIG, the SBC RU880 did not receive the signal correctly. Then you should:

•vary the distance slightly between both remote controls and try again from step 7 (try this several times).

•This time you should press and immediately release the function key on your original remote control. The LCD should display OK, indicating that the RU 880 received the signal.

•make sure that both remote controls have new batteries.

•try to copy your codes under different lighting conditions. Light from TL- tubes may influence the signal you are copying.

The SBC RU880 is designed and tested extensively and is ready to copy almost all infra-red remote control signals. In some rare instances manufacturers use infra-red signals that cannot be copied to any remote control. You should of course always try the Hands-free Autosearch to see if such a code is included in our pre-programmed library.

2.4.3 If you run out of keys on the SBC RU880

If you run out of keys on the SBC RU880 or if you want to copy less important functions you can do so under the SBC RU880’s shift key.

Here's how:

1Make sure the SBC RU880 is in the right mode for the equipment you're setting up, and position both remote controls as indicated above. Then:

2Refer to section 2.4.1. ‘To copy codes from your original remote control’ and repeat the first six steps. Then:

3Press and hold (S) and then press the key you have selected to activate the desired function from your original remote control.

–The LCD displays PRESS ORIG.

4 Release both keys.

5 Now repeat steps 8 and 9 from the same section.

That’s it! The function for your selected key has now been copied.

NOTE: If you copy a function under a specific key on the SBC RU880, the previous signal will be erased.

2.5 SETTING UP AN EXTRA DEVICE ON THE SBC RU880

The SBC RU880 has eight operating modes for operating eight different devices. It can also be programmed for any combination of devices contained in its library. The following is an example. Other combinations are also possible.

The HOME mode on the SBC RU880 is factory pre-set to control the Philips Power Control System (see 5. ‘Setting up the SBC RU880 for your Philips Power Control System’), but you can change it to control, for example, a second TV.

Before you start, make sure the SBC RU880 is in the HOME mode. Also, make sure the equipment is switched on, and that you’re sitting right in front of it.

2.5.1 If you know the brand name

If you know the brand name of your second TV look at the code list at the back of this book to find the first 3-digit code for this 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.

5 Press Cursor up or Cursor down until the LCD displays TV.

6 Press OK.

7 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. The LCD then displays TV2. When you press the TV MODE key the LCD displays TV1.

That's it! Now press a few keys on the SBC RU880 to check that the equipment responds correctly. If it doesn't, try again from step 1 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.
