Philips SRP5004 Universal Remote Control

2.1 Inserting the Batteries

Insert 2 AAA type batteries, noting the + and configuration in the battery compartment. ?

Note: When replacing the batteries, all user settings will be retained in the remote control memory for 5 minutes.

2.2 Setting up the Universal Remote Control

The example below instructs you how to set up your universal remote controls for your TV. You can repeat the same steps for other devices (STB, DVD player/recorder and VCR) which you want to operate, using the SRP5004.

The remote control can be set up to operate any 4 of the following devices:

Example: setting up the universal remote control to operate your TV:

1. Switch ON the TV manually or use the original remote control for this. Tune to channel 1.
2. Press and hold the TV device selection button for 5 seconds until the red Setup LED lights up. The remote control is now in setup mode.
3. Look up the 4-digit code for your brand in the brand list at the back of this user manual. A four-digit code is shown for each brand. Use the digit buttons to enter the code for your brand.

   Note: If the red Setup LED turns off, an invalid code was entered. In this case, try again.

4. Aim the remote control at the TV. Press and hold the POWER button. Release it immediately as soon as the TV switches off.

   Note: This step normally takes between 5 and 60 seconds. In extreme circumstances, this step can take up to 15 minutes.

5. Switch ON the TV. Try out the buttons you need for operating it. Try, for example, if the - CH + and digit buttons function properly.

   Note: If a button does not work as expected, press and hold that button. Release it immediately as soon as it works. For more information, see chapter 2.2.2.

6. Press the TV device selection button twice to finish setup.

   Note: When no button is pressed for 5 minutes or more, the remote control will exit setup mode, automatically saving all your settings.

Important:

• If you made a mistake: Press the device selection button twice to exit setup. The red Setup light turns off. Restart from the beginning.
• If the device does not respond at all or not to all of the button commands or if you cannot find the code for your brand, enter '9, 9, 9, 9' in step 3 and continue with step 4. The remote control will now search its full database for a code that works with your TV. Full database search may take up to 15 minutes.
• Alternatively, you can set up the universal remote control with the learn feature as described in chapter 3.2.

2.2.1 Setting up the remote control for other devices (STB, DVD player / recorder and VCR)

1. Make sure the device is switched on and operational. E.g. insert a disc in the DVD player / recorder or a video cassette in the VCR.
2. Then follow steps 2 to 6 of 'Setting up the remote control for your TV'. Make sure to use the correct device selection button: STB, DVD, or VCR.

2.2.2 Improving Buttons

When correctly set up, the remote control should be able to operate all your devices. However, when using the remote control for the first time, it might occur that some buttons do not yet function as expected. In this case, you can have the remote control search for alternatives.

Note: Improving buttons is not possible when the code was found during full database search (with code '9, 9, 9, 9').

During initial setup

1. Make sure the receiving device is able to respond. E.g. when you try to repair the Play button for your DVD player, make sure to insert a DVD into the DVD player, otherwise the Play button is not able to function.
2. Press the button that does not function, keep it pressed and immediately release it when the device responds. Repeat this for every button that does not function. If the button still does not function as expected, try pressing it again for a longer period of time.

After initial setup

1. Make sure the receiving device is able to respond. E.g. when you try to repair the Play button for your DVD player, make sure to insert a DVD into the DVD player, otherwise the Play button is not able to function.
2. Select the device you wish to operate (e.g. DVD). Press the DVD device selection button to select DVD.
3. Keep buttons LEARN and INFO pressed simultaneously for 5 seconds. The red Setup LED lights up. The remote control is now in setup mode.
4. Press and hold the button that does not function and immediately release it when the device responds. If the button still does not function as expected, try pressing it again for a longer period of time.
5. Press the DVD device selection button twice to save your settings and exit setup mode.

   Note: When no button is pressed for 5 minutes or more, the remote control will exit setup mode, automatically saving all your settings.

3.2 Learning Button Functions

If you miss certain functions from your original remote control on the SRP5004, the SRP5004 can learn these functions. You can store a function under any of the available buttons, except under the device selection buttons (TV, STB, DVD, VCR) and the POWER button. Any function already stored under a button will be deleted.

The SRP5004 is equipped with two dedicated buttons for learning additional functions: LEARN and INFO. These buttons do not have a default function and enable you to add extra button functions without deleting any SRP5004 functionality.

1. Make sure that you have the original remote control at hand.
2. Select the desired device (e.g. DVD). Press the DVD device selection button to select DVD. The button lights up.
3. Place both remote controls on a flat surface (like a table) and aim them head-to-head with about 5 - 10 cm in between.
4. Keep the LEARN button and the button you wish to learn on the SRP5004 (e.g. the INFO button) pressed simultaneously for 5 seconds, until the red Setup LED lights up. The remote control is now in learn mode.
5. Press and hold the button that you wish to learn on the original remote control until the device selection button gives two short blinks and both button and Setup LED go out to confirm that learning was successful. The remote control has now learned the new function.

Note:

• It may occur that learning a button function fails the first time. The device selection button will then give a long blink and both button and Setup LED will go out. In this case, please try again.
• If you keep having trouble learning button functions, check the batteries in both SRP5004 and original remote control and replace if necessary.
• It may also be that the remote control learn memory is full (a total of 60 buttons can be learned). In this case, you can reset one or more buttons to their original functions in order to create memory space. For this, see chapter 3.3.

3.3 Resetting a Button to its Original Function

If an improved button (see chapter 2.2.2) still does not function as expected, you can always reset the button to its original function. When resetting a button to its original function, any learned function stored under the button will be deleted.

1. In the current device mode, keep digit buttons 9 and 0 pressed simultaneously for 5 seconds, until the red Setup LED lights up. The remote control is now in setup mode.
2. Press digit buttons 1, 2, and 3, in that order. After each button press, the device selection button blinks once.
3. Press the button you wish to reset twice. E.g. the INFO button. After each button press, the device selection button blinks once. The device selection button will blink one more time to confirm that the button was successfully reset to its original function. The button can now also learn a new function, if desired.

4.1 Frequently Asked Questions

In this chapter you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions about your universal remote control.

4.1.1 Setup

I cannot enter setup mode.

My TV switches OFF in step 4 but does not switch ON again in step 5.

• TVs of some brands (e.g. Panasonic) only switch ON after a long press on one of the digit buttons. After a long button press in setup mode, the remote control will start trying to improve the button (see chapter 2.2.2) instead of switching ON the TV.

• After successfully completing setup, the remote control will switch ON the TV with a long button press on one of the digit buttons, just as your original remote control.

After setup, not all buttons work as expected.

• Try improving the button(s). See chapter 2.2.2.

4.1.2 Operation

How do I set the remote control for combo devices (TV / VCR, TV / DVD, DVD / VCR, etc)?

Some combo devices require you to set up two different source selection buttons to control both parts of the combo device. For example, if you have a TV / DVD combo, you might need to set up the remote control for both TV and DVD to operate your TV / DVD combo.

The remote control does not wake up anymore.

• Battery level too low or battery lifetime came to an end. Replace the batteries. For this see chapter 2.1.
