Philips Universal Remote SRP5107/27 Manual

Your SRP5107

Congratulations on your purchase of the Philips SRP5107 universal remote control. After setting up the remote control you can operate up to 7 different devices with it.

Simple Setup

The universal remote control comes with the innovative Simple Setup technology. After setup, the SRP5107 can operate TV, DVD player/ recorder (including Blu-ray player), VCR, DVR, HD, auxiliary equipment and all common Cable, Satellite, DTV and other set top boxes, such as DirecTV, Comcast, AT&T, Verizon, Time Warner, Scientific Atlanta, TiVo and many more.

Simply follow the instructions in chapter 2.3 to set up the remote control for your devices.

We focused on making this remote control consumer friendly. We have highlighted the DVR (TiVo/Replay) buttons in blue for easy referencing on the keypad.

The remote control is equipped with the most common functions for operating your devices. However, if you miss certain functions, this remote control can 'learn' these functions from the original remote control.

To fully benefit from the support that Philips offers, register your product at: www.philips.com/welcome.

Controlling combo devices

Some combo devices (e.g. TV/DVR, TV/DVD, DVD/DVR, etc.) have separate buttons on the original remote control to select the part of the combo device to be controlled. For example, if your combo device is a DVD/DVR then its original remote control might have separate DVD and DVR buttons for selection of the combo part you wish to operate. The equivalent button functions can be found on your Philips remote control by using the device selection buttons.

Example for a DVD/DVR combo:

Set up the remote control for each part of the combo as described in chapters 2.3 and 2.3.2. In this example for both DVD and DVR.
Press the device selection button twice to select the DVD part of the combo.

Press the device selection button twice to select the DVR part of the combo.

Notes

This method can be applied similarly to all combo devices (TV/DVR, TV/VCR, TV/DVD, etc.) and is available for all device modes.
Note that this feature is not supported by all codes.

Learning button functions

If you miss certain functions from your original remote control on the SRP5107, the SRP5107 can learn these functions. You can store a function under any of the available buttons, except under the button. Any function already stored under a button will be deleted. The SRP5107 is equipped with one dedicated button for learning additional functions: .

Make sure that you have the original remote control at hand.
Select the desired device (e.g. DVD). Press the device selection button to select DVD.
Place both remote controls on a flat surface (like a table) and aim them head-to-head with about 5 - 10 cm in between.
Keep the button and the button you wish to learn on the SRP5107 (e.g. the button) pressed simultaneously for 5 seconds, until the red Setup light lights up.
- The remote control is now in learn mode.
Press and hold the button that you wish to learn on the original remote control until the red Setup light blinks twice and then goes 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 red Setup light will then give 4 short blinks and go out. In this case, please try again.
If you keep having trouble learning button functions, check the batteries in both SRP5107 and original remote control and replace if necessary.
It may also be that the remote control learn memory is full (a total of about 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 3.4.

Resetting a button to its original function

If an improved button (see chapter 2.3.3) 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.

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

Resetting the original functions of the remote control (Factory Reset)

In some cases it may be useful to reset the original functions of the remote control.

E.g. if the remote control memory is full while you wish to set it up for a specific device or learn an extra function to it. The remote control will then be reset to the default factory settings and all user settings will be deleted.

In the current device mode, keep digit buttons and pressed simultaneously for 5 seconds, until the red Setup light lights up.
- The remote control is now in setup mode.
Press digit buttons , and , in that order.
- After each button press the red Setup light blinks once.
- The red Setup light will blink one more time to confirm that the original functions of the remote control were succesfully reset. Any extra functions have been deleted.

Frequently asked questions

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

Setup

I cannot enter setup mode.

Battery level too low or battery lifetime came to an end.

Replace the batteries. See chapter 2.1.

The brand code for my device is missing in the 'Shortlist of brands' in the Quick Start Guide.

The 'Shortlist of brands' only mentions the most common brands of TV, DVR, DVD player/recorder, Cable/Satellite box, DTV, VCR, HD and auxiliary equipment.

Use '9999' as 4-digit code in case you cannot find your brand in the complete brand list. Note that using '9999' may result in a long setup (up to 15 minutes).

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 2.3.3) instead of switching ON the TV.

In this case, switch ON the TV manually or use the original remote control for this. Continue with step 6. 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 2.3.3.

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

Some combo devices require you to set up two different device 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.

Operation

The remote control does not wake up anymore.

Battery level too low or battery lifetime came to an end.

Replace the batteries. See chapter 2.1.

The device I want to operate does not respond at all/does not respond to all of the button commands.

Check if the buttons you press are available on the original remote control of the device.
Try improving buttons. See chapter 2.3.3.
Try learning button functions from the original remote control. See chapter 3.3.

Wrong code selected during setup.

Set up the remote control again for the device. Always test if the device responds, before leaving setup mode. It may be that the buttons that you are trying to use have a different naming on the original remote control.
Try out all buttons to find the one(s) you need.

Batteries

Will my settings be deleted when I replace the batteries?

No. All user settings will be retained in the remote control memory during battery replacement.

The (included) batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.
