Try it out! The easiest way to find out how your new remote works, is
to try pressing the keys and see what happens - don’t worry, you won’t
damage anything! Most of the keys work just like on your original
remote control. Of course, if your TV or VCR does not offer a specific
function, pressing that key will have no effect.
DON'T FORGET THE BATTERIES!
You'll need two 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 RU 460 has the unique
feature that it won’t loose the programmed
or learned codes when the batteries are
empty.
GETTING STARTED
This remote is ready to work with any Philips RC5 TV, VCR, satellite
tuner, CD-player, tuner and amplifier. For other brands of equipment, it
needs to be set up first. That only takes a couple of seconds, thanks to
Philips’ Simple System Setup!
Before you start, make sure you’re in the right mode for the
equipment you’re setting up (TV, VCR, SAT/CBL, CD, AUDIO1, AUDIO2).
The green indicator LED shows which mode is selected. To switch
between modes, press once to activate, then press it again to
advance to the next mode. Also, make sure the equipment is switched
on. Sit right in front of it.
If you know the brand of your device and your equipment is one of
the following: TV, VCR, Satellite-receiver, Cable-box, CD-player,
Amplifier or Tuner, look at the code list at the back of this booklet,
and find the first 3-digit code for your equipment. If your device is not
included above, follow the instructions in the section ‘copy (learn)
codes from your original remote’.
1 Press and hold and at the same time -for about 3
seconds- until the green LED lights up. (Release the keys, the green
LED should stay on)
2 Enter the 3-digit code using the keypad. The green LED blinks
twice.
That’s it! Now, press a few keys on the remote to check that the
equipment responds correctly. If it doesn’t or if not all keys are
responding correctly, try again using the next code in the list. In the
rare instance that 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 setup again.
If you don’t know the brand of your equipment or if you can not
find it in the codelist, setup still won’t take long. Philips’ patented
Handsfree 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 minutes for CD
and 1 minutes for Tuners/Amplifiers.)
