4. Device Setup (Programming Your Remote)

The Philips SRP4004/27 remote control features SimpleSetup for quick and easy programming. You can program the remote using direct code entry or automatic code search.

4.1. Direct Code Entry

This method involves entering a specific code for your device's brand. A comprehensive code list is available on the Philips Universal Remote Control website.

1. Turn on the device you wish to program (e.g., TV, DVD player).
2. Press and hold the desired device button (TV, DVD, SAT, or VCR) on the remote control. The red indicator light will illuminate.
3. While holding the device button, enter the 4-digit code for your device's brand using the number keys.
4. Release the device button. If the code is valid, the red indicator light will turn off.
5. Test the remote by pressing the POWER button. If the device turns off, the programming was successful.
6. If the device does not respond, repeat the steps with another code from the list for your brand, or proceed to Automatic Code Search.

If you cannot find a code or direct code entry fails, use the automatic code search function.

1. Turn on the device you wish to program.
2. Press and hold the desired device button (TV, DVD, SAT, or VCR) for approximately 5 seconds until the red indicator light illuminates and stays on.
3. Point the remote at the device and repeatedly press the POWER button (or CH+ for some devices) slowly, pausing briefly after each press. The remote is sending different power codes.
4. When your device turns off, immediately press the OK button to save the code. The red indicator light will turn off.
