Tip
• Remember to replace the batteries at least once a year.
• Don’t leave the batteries out for longer than one hour,
otherwise you will need to set-up the SBC RU641 again.
• While the remote control is actively being moved about,
the back-lighting stays on. This consumes more power
than normal and may require you to change your batteries
more frequently. You can easily turn the back-lighting
function off to conserve power. To do this please follow
the instructions in the backlighting section.

ADVANCED TIPS AND TRICKS
Advice
Carefully read the complete procedure before starting!
Changing the device keys
With the mode selector it is possible to select 4 categories of
devices you want to operate. Each category (TV, VCR, SAT and
DVD) is meant to operate a specific group of equipment:
TV VCR SAT DVD
tv vcr sat dvd
cable
Once you have programmed the functions of a device in one
of the categories, it is not possible to program another device
in the same category. There is, however, a solution in case
you want to program two devices in the same category
(2 TV’s, VCR’s, etc.). The following example explains how.
EXAMPLE:
The SAT mode on this remote control is factory preset to
control many Philips satellite receivers. You can change the
SAT mode (or any mode) to operate another type of device.
The following example shows you how to use the SAT mode to
operate a second TV:
1Press the mode selector key to select SAT and make sure
the second TV is switched on.
2Press and hold keys 1 and 6 simultaneously -for about 3
seconds- until the green LED lights up.
3On the keypad, press keys 9, 9 and 2.
4Press the mode selector key to select TV mode.
5Press key 1.
– The LED flashes twice to indicate successful set up.
That’s it!
Don’t forget to set up the SBC RU641 to operate this second
TV. See the section Set-up for use.

Punch-Through Sound
Punch-through sound enables you to control the audio level of
your first or second TV, regardless of what device mode the
remote control is in.
EXAMPLE:
You have installed a second TV under SAT mode. You can
control that TV’s volume when you are in VCR mode. This
feature is installed as a default setting for a first TV.
To install this feature for a second TV:
1Press the mode selector key to select VCR.
2Press and hold keys 1 and 6 simultaneously -for about 3
seconds- until the green LED lights up.
3On the keypad, press keys 9, 9, and 3.
4Press the mode selector key to select SAT (second TV).
5Press the power key.
– That’s it! The LED flashes twice to indicate successful set
up.
The Volume up/down keys now control the volume of your
second (SAT) TV when you’re in VCR mode.
Functional back-lighting
When you pick up the SBC RU641 and tilt it over about 60
degrees, the main keys for the device you want to operate are
automatically back-lit.
In VCR mode for example, only the main keys that are needed
to operate the VCR are back-lit.
You can choose to have all of the keys back-lit, or you can
switch off the functional back-lighting feature completely.
To back-light all of the keys:
• Press keys 1 and 9 simultaneously -for about 3 seconds-
until the green LED flashes twice.
– The functional back-lighting is now de-activated and all
keys light up when you pick up the remote control.
Pressing keys 1 and 9 simultaneously again -for about 3
seconds- will return the back-lighting to its preset functional
setting.
Note
The back-lighting turns off if you don’t move the remote control
or if you don’t press a key within 4 seconds.

Informazione
• Ricordate di sostituire le batterie almeno una volta
all’anno.
• Non lasciate fuori le batterie più di un’ora, altrimenti
dovrete reinstallare il SBC RU641.
• I tasti rimangono retroilluminati anche quando il
telecomando viene spostato. Questo comporta un maggiore
consumo di energia e di conseguenza potrebbe essere
necessario sostituire le batterie più di frequente. Per
risparmiare energia è possibile spegnere facilmente la
funzione di retroilluminazione. Per fare questo seguire le
istruzioni riportate nella sezione riguardante la
retroilluminazione.
