Instructions for use

INTRODUCTION You have made a great choice by buying this Philips universal remote control! It replaces up to eight separate remote controls and is pre-programmed to operate with almost any brand of TV, VCR, satellite tuner, cable decoder, CD-player, DVDplayer, tuner and amplifier. The SBC RU880 can also control Philips Power

Control System devices. It can even learn the codes of other remote control units that are not pre-programmed. Best of all, the SBC RU880 is quick to set up and easy to use, and with the green back-lighting it can even be used in dimly lit rooms! Here's how... DON'T FORGET THE BATTERIES! To operate the SBC RU880 you'll need three 1.5V batteries, type UM3, LR6 or AA only. Put them in like this.... +-

Remember to replace the batteries at least once a year. The RU880 has the unique feature of not losing the programmed or learned codes when the batteries are empty. You only have to set the clock again (see ‘Setting up the

Clock’ section). AT A GLANCE Once you've installed the batteries, the SBC RU880 is ready to operate most Philips VCRs, satellite tuners, CD-players, tuners and amplifiers. Just press the button (as indicated below) for the Philips device you wish to operate. If you want to operate other equipment brands you need to set up the SBC RU880 first - see chapter 2. ‘Installation’. Select TV, VCR, SAT, DVD, CD, AUDIO 1, AUDIO 2 or HOME. The remote has 8 operating modes: TV, VCR, satellite tuner (SAT/CBL), DVDplayer, CD-player, AUDIO 1 & AUDIO 2 (for other equipment) and HOME (for operating the Philips Power Control System).

2. INSTALLATION The SBC RU880 is ready to operate most Philips TVs, VCRs, satellite tuners, DVDplayers, 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: 1 Press and hold the SMART key (for about three seconds) until the LCD displays TIMER. Release the SMART key. 2 Press 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 1 Press and hold the SMART key (for about three seconds) until the LCD displays TIMER. Release the SMART key. 2 Press 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. 7 Once 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

If none of the codes works or if you are still missing certain functions of your original remote control, try our solution in chapter 2.4.1 ‘To copy codes from your original remote control’, or call our free-phone help-line.

2.3 NOTE THAT CODE! Make a note of the correct code inside the battery case and in the back of this booklet; it will save you time if you ever need to set up again. If you have forgotten to note the code you can still 'read out' the code from the SBC RU880. Here's how: 1 Press and hold the SMART key (for about three seconds) until the LCD displays TIMER. Release the SMART key. 2 Press Cursor up or Cursor down until the LCD displays SETUP. – The SBC RU880 is now in set-up mode. 3 Press OK. – The LCD displays ENTER CODE. 4 Press Cursor up or Cursor down until the LCD displays CODE NO. 5 Press OK. – The LCD displays the selected equipment with its code. 6 By pressing the mode keys you can read out the programmed codes. 7 Press the SMART key to return the SBC RU880 to normal mode. 2.4 COPY CODES FROM YOUR ORIGINAL REMOTE CONTROL If your equipment is not included in the code list, or if specific codes on your remote control are missing, the SBC RU880 has the solution. It can copy and replicate up to 200 codes from your original remote control. Here's how... Place your original remote control facing the infra-red sensor window of the SBC RU880. Place both remote controls on a flat surface, 3-8 centimetres apart. Make sure that both remote controls have new batteries.
