4.10 Reminders and Timers  
4.10.1 Difference Between Reminder and Timer  
The aim of the reminder/timer is to remind you that the  
program you scheduled for viewing is about to start. The  
main difference between a reminder and a timer is that  
you set reminders from the Channel Banner or  
Program Guide. To set a reminder, select one of the  
future programs of the Channel Banner or Program  
Guide, and press OK. Then you are prompted to decide  
whether you want to set a viewing or a recording  
reminder.  
Setting a Reminder  
Timers are independent from the broadcast schedule.  
You will set timers from the Timer Manager. To get  
access to the Timer Manager, either press the REC  
button or select the Timer Manager item from the  
Main Menu. Timer Manager contains all timers and  
reminders defined so far. It allows you not only to set  
timers but also to delete or modify selected  
timers/reminders. You will be asked to enter Timer  
Manager each time any conflicts between  
reminders/timers occur. You will find more information  
on Timer Manager later in this manual.  
Setting a Timer  
4.10.2 Viewing and Recording Reminders/Timers  
There are two types of reminders/timers: a viewing  
reminder/timer and a recording reminder/timer. If  
you have set a reminder/timer, its pop-up appears 1.5  
minute before the program starts. If you do not respond  
to the viewing reminder/timer pop-up, the  
reminder/timer is canceled. If you do not respond to the  
recording reminder/timer pop-up, the receiver tunes to  
the appropriate channel at specified start time.  
Viewing Timer Pop-up  
Please note that when you set a recording  
reminder/timer, the recording is protected from being  
interrupted, which is indicated on the rotary display. If  
you want to interrupt the recording, press EXIT. This  
brings up a pop-up informing you how long the recording  
will last. Then, you will be asked to press OK to interrupt  
the recording or press EXIT to dismiss the pop-up from  
the screen.

conflict pop-up appears. You will be prompted to press  
EXIT to cancel the current reminder, or to press OK to  
get access to Timer Manager. The currently set  
reminder will be listed in the Timer Manager as a  
disabled reminder (marked with the "?" sign).

The Easy Recording feature allows you to perform recordings without the necessity to program  
your video recorder (VCR or DVD recorder). When you set a recording reminder or timer from  
the Channel Banner or Timer Manager, the VCR starts/ends recording at the correct time.  
Please note, however, that you may only use the Easy Recording feature provided that your  
recorder supports it.  
First of all, consult User Manual of your recorder equipment to check if it supports Easy  
Recording. Please note that most Philips VCR/DVD recorders support one of the two Easy  
Recording options: either Prepare Record (to be checked first) or Record Link.  
Also, both your TV and VCR shall be equipped with two SCART sockets.  
If your equipment satisfies above two conditions, connect your receivers as shown in the  
Connection diagram below.

Then, select the System Settings item from the Settings submenu, enable the Easy Recording  
feature by setting its option to YES, and assign to the Recording Type an appropriate value:  
either Prepare Record or Record Link. You might have to test both settings to find out the one  
applicable for your recorder.

to control Device 1. You may change this identifier to Device 2 using the System Settings screen  
from the Settings submenu. Please note however, that you will also have to change the remote  
control setting in order to be able to control Device 2.  
To change the setting of your remote control, proceed as follows:  
1 Make sure that the remote control is in the STB mode (Press Mode button, the STB LED shall  
blink, if a different LED does, press the Mode button as many time as necessary to get STB LED  
blinking).  
2 Press number keys 1 and 3 simultaneously and hold them until LED blinks twice.  
3 Release these two keys. The STB LED is still on to indicate that the remote control is in the  
programming mode.  
4 Enter the new code setting within 60 seconds (the LED is blinking once after each digit entry):  
Either 0048 for Device 2 or 0038 for Device 1 (factory setting).  
Alternatively you may reset your remote control to its default setting (Device 1) by removing the  
batteries and waiting for more than 3 minutes to re-insert them.

8 Programming the Remote Control for your  
STB, TV, Video Recorder, DVD and Tuner -  
Amplifier  
8.1 Setting up your remote control  
By default at power up, for instance at first installation or at battery replacememt, your remote  
control is preset to control your terrestrial receiver as well as most of the Philips audio/video  
appliances.  
If you have other brands of appliances, or if the presets do not control your Philips appliance,  
please follow the procedure here below.  
Note: some of the functions described in the next pages may not be available or have the same behaviour  
for all brand of the same appliances.  
1 Press the MODE button to select the type of appliance you want to set up (TV, VCR, DVD or  
Amp/Tuner). Pressing the MODE button once will remind you of the MODE you are in through  
green light indicators: left for STB, middle for TV, right for VCR, left/middle for DVD, middle/right  
for Amp/Tuner.  
To set the MODE, press the MODE button several times until the desired mode is signaled by  
the light(s). The sequence is: STB TV VCR DVD Amp/Tuner. At every key press, lights  
blink to indicate in which MODE you are in.  
2 Press digits 1 and 3 simultaneously until the lights corresponding to the selected mode blink twice  
and remain on.  
3 Enter the 4 digit code .The lights corresponding to the selected mode blink once at each digit  
entry. You will find a list of codes at the end of this manual. (If several codes are possible, go  
through this procedure with the 1st code and try your remote control. If you are not successful,  
repeat the procedure with the second code, and so on).  
4 If a valid 4-digit code has been entered, the lights will switch off and blink twice. If not, go back to  
step 1. Pressing any key other than digit keys and standby button will automatically exit this  
procedure.  
We advice you to fill in the table below to remind your personal remote control settings, this will  
be helpful the day you have to replace the remote control batteries (see NOTE 2 below).

Important Notes:  
1- You need to reset the STB mode to the factory mode.  
If you have made a mistake changing the default setting of the STB mode resulting in the impossibility to  
control your terrestrial receiver, then please refer to above description.  
2- Battery change.  
If the battery change takes more than 1 minute the remote control may return to the "Philips brand  
factory settings". Therefore you shall proceed with a new setting of your remote control, with the help of  
the table above, for your non Philips branded appliances.  
3- All manufacturers are concerned about the constant improvement of their products. Although the  
remote control is compatible with most equipment of the brands mentionned at the end of this manual  
(see Brand Code List), Philips cannot guarantee its operation with the complete range of products on  
the market.

common problems that arise are related to cable connections. Make sure that your receiver is  
properly connected.  
Symptom  
Remedy  
Nothing lights up on your receiver's front  
panel.  
Check that the mains power cord is correctly connected. Disconnect this cord, and then  
reconnect it to ensure it is in place.  
Check that power is available at the wall socket.  
Your remote control fails to operate your  
receiver.  
Make sure your receiver is in the operate mode.  
Make sure that you are pointing your remote control at the receiver front panel.  
Make sure that the remote control is set to STB mode (see 2.2.1).  
Check the batteries in your remote control.  
Check if your remote is set to the "Device" (1 or 2) setting corresponding to your receiver  
(see 6.4.2 and 7.2).  
There is no sound/picture but the current  
time is displayed on the receiver's front panel.  
Your receiver is in standby. Press P+ / P- button on your remote control to wake up your  
receiver. Alternatively, press PROG+ / PROG- button on the receiver's front panel.  
There is no sound/picture. However, front  
panel display is correct.  
You are viewing TV via your UHF aerial TV connection. Press the TV / STB remote control  
button twice.
