Philips universal remotes are neat devices that can be programmed to operate almost any television, DVD player, Blu-ray device, set-top box, or cable box. While the setup process is different for every unique model, the gist is generally the same. Using auto-code search takes a lot of the guesswork out of the process. This wikiHow article walks you through programming a Philips universal remote.
Tip: If one of the codes for your device ended up not working, you can retry the entire process using a device number for a different model in your brand. Sometimes there are software patches and updates that can interfere with which codes work on certain devices.
Tip: Most of the device buttons are obvious. TV, VCR, and DVD all correspond to those devices. STB stands for set-top box, and is what you need to press to sync the remote with a newer cable box and playback devices (like Roku, or TiVo). BD stands for Blu-ray device.
It's a scenario many of us have suffered through. You're watching TV and get the itch for a movie, but when you go to turn your DVD player on, you turn the TV off. Then starts the game of going through half a dozen remotes, unintentionally power-cycling unrelated devices because you've succumbed to a life of chaos, technology, and controllers.
The easiest and most intuitive way to assign your universal remote to a device is by using a code. Most universal remotes come with a list of codes assigned to individual brands. Sometimes, they're included at the end of the user manual. It's a long list that covers the best and the worst brands on the market, but it's not exhaustive of all electronic brands.
If a code isn't listed for a specific manufacturer, you may need to contact them to see if one exists to skip to the next section. Otherwise, with this list, you should be able to program your universal remote to your devices. When you're ready to pair the remote to a device:
If you happened to have lost the code list, or the listed code didn't work during the setup process, you still have options for pairing the remote to your device. The process will differ between universal remotes, but the following should work on any Philips universal remote with the "Setup" button.
Since there are so many different codes to go through, this could take upwards of 15 minutes to complete. Unfortunately, it's the most inefficient way of trying to program the universal remote, and it's very easy to miss the right code as it cycles through.
Though it appears to be an older model remote from 2011, the SRP5004 model remote may still be in circulation for some users. Since the setup process is a bit different, we wanted to cover how to set it up both with and without a code properly.
Once you program a code into the directv remote, what keys are you using to determine if the code works or not? Do not just use the tv ON & OFF keys, est all keys, if it turns out the only keys that don't work are the ON & OFF keys, then use the middle PWR key in the tv device for both on & off power of the tv.
I know at least one of the codes had worked in the past. I remember having trouble programming when we first signed up and then I went through all the codes again and one worked (on either the second or third page of codes) but I've had to reprogram the remote again and can't for the life of me find the code again. ARGH! DirecTV/AT&T please help!!!
but make sure you are programming the remote with the top dial moved to TV and not left in the DirecTV position as it suggests in the programming instructions. For some reason it didn't work for me there. Then program code 960 and the light flashes a couple time and the TV input button will work and you can move the dial back to DirecTV.
Philips universal remotes are lifesavers, but pairing them with a device can be challenging for a new user. Whether you want to control a single device (maybe your TV) or multiple devices, you can do it by programming the remote.
There are two different methods to program Philips Universal remotes, Direct Code Method and Auto Code Search Method. In this article, we will be looking at both methods as well as Philips Universal Remote Codes.
Step 4: Once it finds a pairing code, you will see your TV automatically shutting down. You can press the Power button to turn it on manually and check volume buttons if the remote is working properly.
This concludes the guide on how you can program the Philips Universal Remote control to your TV easily either by using the Auto Coding method or by manually entering the code for your particular TV brand. Armed with this guide and list of codes, you can now safely get yourself a new remote to replace the lost or damaged TV remote in your house.

Universal remotes can empower you to be the master of your entertainment universe by consolidating all your device remotes into one and placing ultimate control in the palm of your hand. So, whether you have a simple setup that includes a TV and one or two other devices, or a dedicated home theater room decked out with the latest audio/video equipment, our team of experts here at Jasco will address some of the top questions you may have about programming and troubleshooting universal remotes.
A: Universal remotes typically control from two to eight devices, but other high-end models can accommodate more. To determine the number of devices your remote can control, simply locate and count the device buttons. They are usually located in one or two rows near the top of the remote and are labeled as: tv, dvd, strm, aux, aud, b-ray, cbl, sat, etc.
A: These buttons, as seen on this Philips Elite 6-Device Backlit Universal Remote, perform various commands depending on the device being controlled. For GE and Philips remotes, these buttons can be used to control advanced DVR functions, as well as cable or satellite set-top boxes.

Having a hard time keeping track of all your tv remote controls? When you have a streaming player, DVD/Blu-Ray component, cable/satellite set-top box and more, it can be overwhelming. But using an RCA universal remote control could make it easier to manage. There is a wide variety available, and depending on which model you choose, you can manage up to eight devices. That means no more having to store a bunch of remotes in one drawer or losing them altogether.
Once the device turns off, the remote control should be in sync with your TV. If this process does not work, try to be patient. Just repeat these steps, ensuring you are pressing the buttons the full time needed.
This is a patent infringement case. Jurisdiction is proper under 28 U.S.C. 1331 and 1338. Presently before me is a Motion for Summary Judgment on Infringement filed by plaintiffs Philips Electronics North America Corporation and U.S. Philips Corporation (collectively, "Philips"). (Docket Item ["D.I."] 292; "Philips' Motion".) Also before me is a Motion for Summary Judgment of Noninfringement filed by defendant Compo Micro Tech ("CMT"). (D.I. 302; "CMT's Motion".) For the reasons that follow, Philips' Motion will be granted in part and denied in part and CMT's Motion will be granted in part and denied in part.
Philips argues that, under the claim construction I have adopted, CMT's accused products literally infringe the '562 patent. (D.I. 293 at 21.) Specifically, Philips states that, in order to initiate the direct entry programming method of CMT's universal remote controls ("URCs"), the user must press a category key (e.g.,"VCR") that identifies the category of the appliance to be programmed and some other, non-category key (e.g.,"Select") simultaneously. (Id.) Philips argues that the non-category key satisfies the claim element "an entry initiate key" as I have construed it, and that the category key satisfies the "predetermined group of keys" element in claim 9. (Id. at 22.)
In response, CMT argues that its accused URCs do not literally infringe the '562 patent because they cannot be programmed unless a user presses two buttons simultaneously.[1] (D.I. 329 at 8.) In response, Philips says that there is nothing in the claim language, specification, or prosecution history of the '562 *646 patent that precludes pressing the category key and the entry initiate key together. (D.I. 317 at 12; D.I. 324 at 16.)
