If you need to program a Philips universal remote, you’ve come to the right place. This guide provides a complete list of codes and easy, step-by-step instructions to get your remote working with your TV, DVD player, or any other device.

We’ll walk you through three simple methods, from the fastest to the most comprehensive. Start with Method 1.

Quick Tips for Success

• Always use fresh batteries.
• Point the remote directly at the device with a clear line of sight.
• Always start with Method 1 (Direct Code Entry) – it’s the fastest.
• If a code doesn’t work, patiently try the next one on the list before moving to another method.

Philips Universal Remote Code List

Below is a comprehensive list of universal remote codes for Philips remotes. These codes are compatible with most remote models and devices like TVs, DVD players, and more. Find the brand of the device you want to control and have the codes ready.

Method 1: Direct Code Entry (The Easiest Method)

This is the fastest way to program your remote. You just need to enter the code for your device’s brand directly.

1. Turn On Your Device: Manually switch on the device (e.g., your TV) that you want to control.
2. Enter Setup Mode: Press and hold the SETUP button (or CODE SEARCH) on your universal remote until the red indicator light stays on. Then release the button.
3. Select the Device: Press and release the device button on the remote that you want to program (e.g., TV, DVD, etc.). The indicator light will blink once and then remain on.
4. Enter the Code: Enter the 4-digit code for your device brand from the list above using the number pad. If the code is valid, the indicator light will turn off.
   • Note: If the indicator light blinks rapidly, the code you entered was invalid. Please repeat steps 2-4 with the next code from the list for your brand.
5. Test the Remote: Point the remote at your device and press the POWER button. The device should turn off. Now try other functions like VOLUME and CHANNEL UP/DOWN. If all functions work correctly, your remote is ready to use!

If some buttons don’t work, repeat the process with the next code from the list for your brand. If you’ve tried all the codes for your brand without success, move on to Method 2.

Method 2: The Code Search Method

If you can’t find a working code in the list, this method will search the remote’s entire library for you.

1. Turn On Your Device manually.
2. Enter Setup Mode: Press and hold the SETUP or CODE SEARCH button until the red indicator light stays on, then release it.
3. Select the Device: Press and release the mode button for the device you’re programming (e.g., TV). The indicator will blink once and then stay lit.
4. Start the Search: Press the POWER button (or CH+ button) repeatedly. The remote will send a new code with each press.
5. Stop When the Device Responds: Keep pressing POWER or CH+ until your device turns off. As soon as it turns off, stop pressing immediately.
6. Lock in the Code: Press and release the MUTE button to save the code. The indicator light will turn off.

Your remote should now be programmed. Turn your device back on and test the functions.

Method 3: Setup Without Codes (Auto-Scan)

Use this method if you don’t know your device brand or if the other methods failed. This process scans the entire code library automatically.

1. Turn On Your Device manually.
2. Enter Setup Mode: Press and hold the SETUP or CODE SEARCH button until the red indicator light stays lit, then release it.
3. Select the Device: Press and release the desired device button (e.g., TV).
4. Begin Auto-Scan: Point the remote at the device and press the POWER button once. The remote will now automatically cycle through all available codes, sending a new one every few seconds. The indicator light will blink as it searches.
5. Stop the Scan: The moment your device turns off, you must immediately press the OK or ENTER button to lock in the code.

This method requires patience, as the scan can take several minutes.
