Congratulations on your purchase of this SRU8010
Philips Universal Remote Control. Philips Universal
Remotes let you replace a broken or lost remote or
combine more than one remote into one. But this
remote is really unique, having a high quality color
screen, like the kind you see on cell phones. This
screen depicts colored icons that you easily set up to
represent your favorite channels. You can then easily
select any channel you want by simply pressing the
key next to the icon that represents that channel.
This remote control operates the common features of
most but not all models and brands of Infrared (IR)
Controlled devices. This remote may provide
functions that are not available on your device.
Some functions of your particular device (e.g. menu
functions) may not be controlled by this remote. In
such cases, you can learn the commands from your
original remote. Please use this manual to become
familiar with your Philips Universal Remote. After
you are familiar with this owner’s manual, the first
thing you need to do is to install batteries and setup
your remote following the on-screen instructions.
Thank you for buying this Philips remote and we
hope it will give you many years of service.

Setup
Battery Installation
1. On the back of the remote, push
down on the tab and lift the cover off.
2. Match the batteries to the + and -
marks inside the battery case, then
insert 3 AAAlkaline batteries. Make
sure you use new batteries. You can
have problems with learning codes
if your batteries are old.
3. Press the battery cover back into
place.
Battery Saver
Your remote automatically turns off if the keys are depressed
for more than 30 seconds. This will save your batteries should
your remote get stuck in a place where the keys remain
depressed (e.g., between the sofa cushions). Also, the screen
turns off a short time after no keys have been pressed for a
while (or a short time after a key has been stuck for 30
seconds). The duration before the screen turns off can be
adjusted from about 2 seconds to about 35 seconds, from the
Setup, Advanced, Options menu, see page 34.
Permanent Memory
All the devices you set up, their codes, punchthrough settings,
and all your favorites, etc., are stored in permanent memory
while you are changing batteries so you will not lose any
codes or settings stored in the remote while you are changing
batteries.

Using the Wizard
After you insert the batteries the Setup
Wizard screen (1) appears. You can exit
the Wizard at any time by pressing the
HOME key (located just below the
screen). Press any key at screen (1) to
continue and follow the instructions on
the screens.
Pressing OK at screen (2) takes you to
the next screen (3). Pressing the Left
navigation key (Back key) on the remote
at screen (3) takes you to screen (4) that
has 10 yellow arrows. This is an
exception to the rule because we’re
teaching you how to use the remote. But
pressing Back again at this point does
take you “back.”
Try pressing the Back key a few times to
go back through the Wizard and then
follow the instructions on the screens
again to familiarize yourself with how to
step through the screens and go back.
You can go back and forth through the
Wizard but once you’ve set up your
devices and quit to save the settings, you
won’t see the Wizard again unless you do
a Master Reset.
To do a Master Reset: Press the HOME
key, then select Setup, then select Clear
Settings, then select Master Clear. Note
this will erase everything you have set up
in the remote.

Setting Up Your Devices
How to set up a TV
After you’ve been through the Wizard for
the first time, the screen (1) shown to the
right appears. This is the start of the
Wizard to set up your devices (TV being
the first one). Manually turn on the
device(s) to be set up (TV, VCR, etc.).
If you know your brand of TV, select Yes
which results in a faster search for your
TV’s code. (Selecting No searches the
complete library of TV codes, rather than
just the codes for your brand of TV).
Pressing the Side Key next to Yes at
screen (1) takes you to a screen (2) where
the most common brands are shown next
to the Side Keys. If your brand isn’t
shown you can press the Side Key
adjacent to Next to show more brands,
(shown alphabetically) or press the Side
Key adjacent to Back to go back to the
previous screen of brands. Note, on the
very first screen of brands, the Side Key
adjacent to Back takes you to the last
screen of brands (so you can go back
through the list instead of forward
through it if you prefer). In this case we
selected Philips.
Screen (3) tells you to point the remote
directly at your TV and repeatedly press
(but not hold) Power (or Chan Up/Down,
or Play for VCRs etc.) until your device
responds. Pressing Power sends the
Power command to your TV and screen
(4) shows that you’ve selected code 1 of
xx (xx will vary by brand). Keep pressing
Power until your TV responds and then
press Save.

Setting Up Your Devices, cont.
Pressing Save shows screen (5) that
instructs you to try a few other keys on
the remote to make sure you’ve found
the correct code. Tip: try keys like Menu,
and Guide. Power might work yet you
still might not have the correct code. If
several keys seem to work fine, press
Save Code. If some keys don’t work,
select Change Code (or press Back) to
go back and find another code that works
better. Selecting Label lets you rename
the device, e.g. you could call it My TV.
You can ignore this for now and try it
later if you like. See pages 11, 12, and 23
for more details on entering text to
change labels.
Pressing Save Code at screen (5) takes
you to screen (6) where you set up a
Cable box. You can quit at this point and
(5)
(6)
set up other devices later, or you can continue and set up other
devices - SAT, DVR, DVD, VCR, Audio, CD Player, or either
of the 2 AUX devices.
Let’s assume for now that you go ahead and set up a TV,
Cable, and SAT.
If you select No at screen (1) on the previous page the
procedure will be similar to the above, except that you will be
searching through the entire library of codes for your device
to find the one that works best (instead of just searching
through the codes for your brand of device, e.g., Philips).
If you say Yes when asked if you know your Brand, but
subsequently don’t find a code that works, you are asked if
you want to try again (in case you missed it), or try all the
codes for your device. If you try all codes for your device
type, and still don’t find a code that works, you can skip it, or
selected Learn. If you select Learn you can later learn the
commands you want for that device type.

Once you’ve gone through the Wizard
and set up at least a TV, and set up more
devices, or skipped the rest of them, you
arrive at screen (1) to the right.
Setting Up Your Favorites
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
Press any digit key, say digit 4, to enter
a channel number. This takes you to
screen (2). You can enter more digits if
desired. The channel number can
include a dash (-) for digital channels,
e.g., 2-3, or can include ENTER, or OK,
if your device requires it to change
channels, e.g. 472Ok, or 550Ent.
Now you press the Side Key next to
Pick Logo on screen (2). You are shown
a screen (3) of popular channel logos.
You can select Next (Side Key 10) or
Back (Side Key 5) to see more logos. In
this example we pressed the NBC logo
(Side Key 4). Screen (4) now shows that
we’ve chosen channel 4 and the NBC
logo. Note, you could also select the top
left position which would display “4” as
the favorite rather than a logo.
The Default device is this case was Sat,
but you can select Pick Device to
change it. In this case we changed it to
Cable. Make sure you select the
device that you want each favorite to
control, e.g. TV, Cable, or Sat.

11
Setting Up Your Favorites, cont.
If you want to add a label to the logo press the Side Key next
to Label. This is optional so if you don’t want to add a label to
the logo you can just select Save to save the setting for this
favorite. If you save this favorite, Set Favorite 2 of 10 is now
shown at the bottom of the screen to indicate that you can add
another favorite channel. Again just press a channel number
key on the remote, choose a logo and change the Device Type
(if you want to). Add a few more favorites (up to 10). You can
add more later, or delete or edit them later, or even reorder
their positions. Select Done when you’re finished setting up
favorites.
If you select Label, you see the screen to
the right with a small label on top of the
logo. Initially the label will be the channel
number for that logo. If you Save this, the
logo will have a small label representing
the channel number for that logo in it’s
bottom right hand corner, see screen (5).
(5)
But you can type in a new label if you
want one. You enter the new name for
the key using the numeric keys on the
remote, in a similar fashion to typing in
text on a cell phone.
E.G. in this example we pressed the 5
key twice to enter the letter K. Then we
waited a second and pressed the 4 key
repeatedly until the letter I was
displayed. Then we waited a second and
pressed 6 to select N. Then we waited a
second and pressed the 4 key to select
G. See next page.

(6)
(7)
Setting Up Your Favorites, cont.
Note: “Triple tap” name entry works in a similar fashion to
text entry on a cell phone. Tap each numeric key to cycle
through ALL caps, numbers, and lower case letters. E.G.,
repeatedly pressing the number 2 key cycles through A, B, C,
2, a, b, c. Pressing the 9 key cycles through W, X, Y, Z, 9, w,
x, y, z. A “space” can be selected with the 0 (zero) key. The
number 1 key selects 1 . @ ? ! - & and : You can backspace
an entry with the key to the left of the 0 (zero) key. Press OK
(or the Enter “E” key) to confirm your new name.
You can continue to add favorites, up to a
total of 10 (you can add more later, see
page 28). At screen (6) you choose if the
favorites you just set up are stored in the
“His” group or the “Hers” group. Later
you can set up favorites in lots of
different Groups, not just His and Hers.
Selecting His takes you to screen (7)
showing that you now have NBC set as
the first favorite in the His Group (at the
location next to Side Key K1), as well as
any other favorites you set up. (Note, you
can reorder, i.e., move the positions of
the logos later).
When you’re finished setting up your
favorites, press the HOME key (located to
the left below the screen) to go back to the
Home screen.
At any time you can press the FAVORITE
key and then select His, or press the His
key at the top left hand side of the remote
to go to screen (7) above. Then pressing
the key next to the NBC logo will (in this
case) change the channel on your Cable
box to NBC (in this case channel 4).

13
Using The Remote
Assuming you followed the steps on the previous pages and
have set up some devices and some favorites you can now use
the remote. See the sections that follow to set up more devices
and/or favorites, and to set up other functions.
Using the remote
Press the HIS or HERS key at any time
to access the favorites you’ve set up. Or
press the FAVORITE key, then select
your favorites group. Then press the
Side Key next to the logo to change
your device to that channel. Selecting a
favorite group that has not yet been set
up, takes you to the setup Wizard.
Also, when you select a mode, any extra keys for that mode,
and any keys you’ve learned for that mode are displayed. The
current mode that the remote is in is displayed with an icon in
the lower left of the screen. In the above example it’s in Cable
mode. Press HIS or HERS to return to your favorites screen.
Before you continue, press Side Key K5 next to the Help icon
and follow the prompts to get an idea of how to use the remote.
Important: Make sure you point the remote at your device
until the channel changes. Pressing a favorite key might send
the commands for say channel 162, but if you don’t point the
remote at your device until all three digits are sent you might
just get channel 16, or even channel 1. Watch the flickering
halo at the bottom left of the screen, it flickers for each digit
sent. It also shows what device is being controlled.
Press the HOME key at any time to
access the screen where you can set
things up, or access other features.
Press the MODE key, then select a
device type to change the mode that the
remote is in. E.G., if the remote is in
Cable mode then the hard keys such as
Channel Up/Down, Volume Up/Down,
numbers, etc., operate your cable box.

14
QuickPower
QuickPower is a way of quickly turning
all your devices on or off from one easy
to use screen.
Press the HOME Key to go to the Home
screen.
Then press the Side Key next to
QuickPower.
Only Devices you’ve previously set up
are displayed. The others are grayed out.
Press any key that isn’t grayed out to
send the “Power” command for that
device.

15
Sleep
Sleep lets you set any device to turn off a
preset time from now. You can set the off
time in increments of 15 minutes, up to a
Maximum of 90 minutes.
Press the HOME key to go to the Home
Screen, then press the Side Key next to
Sleep.
You can set a sleep timer for any or all of
the devices that you’ve set up, i.e., any
that are not grayed out.
In this example we only have a TV,
Cable Box and Satellite Receiver set up.
Below, we pressed Side Key K1 next to
the TV icon once, to set a sleep timer of
15 minutes.
We pressed Side Key K2 next to the
Cable Box icon twice, to set a sleep timer
of 30 minutes.
And we press Side Key K7 next to the
Sat icon five times to set a sleep timer of
1 hour and 30 minutes.
Pressing OK takes you back to the Home
screen with your sleep timers saved. The
next time you select the Sleep screen
you’ll see that the sleep timers have
started to count down.
Make sure you leave the remote
pointing at the device(s) you’ve set
Sleep Timers for so it can send the
Power command to the device(s) at the
time(s) you’ve set.

Tips On Learning
a. Some functions from some types of remotes might not
be able to be learned.
b. No functions may be learned under the HOME,
MODE, FAVORITE, HIS, or HERS (hard) keys.
c. Use fresh batteries for both the SRU8010 remote and
your Original Remote.
d. Keep at least three feet away from incandescent or low-
energy lights when learning.
e. Place the original remote end-to-end with the SRU8010
remote so the IR transmitter (at the top) on your original
remote points at the IR learning device on the bottom of
the SRU8010 remote.
f. Keep the distance between the two remotes to
approximately 1 inch.
g. Line up the remotes and then press the key you want to
learn. To get the correct range, press the key on the remote
you are learning and you will see a “red halo” around the
transmit icon at the bottom left of the screen starts to
flicker. The best range for learning is when it flickers most
rapidly. Move the position of the 2 remotes to achieve this.
Do not change this “best distance” between the two
remotes until you have learned all the required keys.
h. When Learning, you should normally not release the key
being learned until the display prompts you to do so.
However, some keys might be learned multiple times if
you do this. If this happens just “tap” the key you want to
learn, rather than press and hold it. For example, keys that
you normally hold down for a while (like volume up or
down) will likely require a long press when learning. Keys
that you normally give a quick press (like the numbers,
and channel up/down) will likely require a quick press
when learning. If after learning say the channel up key,
you find that it changes multiple channels when pressed
once, try relearning it with a short keypress.
i. If learning the first or second keys results in continuous
errors then try the following:
1. Check the IR transmitters/sensors are correctly aligned
between the two remotes.
Learning

17
Learning, cont.
You can learn commands from an existing
remote and store them under the “Main”
keys on the SRU8010 remote, or learn
commands from an existing remote and
store them under any of the 10 Side Keys.
At the Home screen press the Side Key
next to Learn.
At this screen you press any of the 5
Side Keys K1-K5 on the left to learn
commands under a Side Key, or press
any of the top 4 Side Keys K6-K9 on the
right to learn commands under the main
keys on the remote.
If you press a right Side Key (to select Main Keys) you are
going to learn, say, the Chan Up key from an existing remote
and store it under the Chan Up key on the SRU8010 remote.
Or learn the Power key from an existing remote and store it
under the Power key on the SRU8010 remote, etc.
If you press a left Side Key (to select Side Keys) you are
going to learn, say, the “DVD Zoom” function from an
existing remote and store it under a Side Key on the SRU8010
remote. You will then be able to name the key “DVD Zoom”
and access this “DVD Zoom” function from the Mode screen
when the remote is in the mode that you selected when you
learned this “DVD Zoom” command.
2. Adjust the distance between the two remotes to be closer
(e.g. half an inch) or a further away (e.g. 2 inches) from
each other.
3. Try learning the original remote keys again.
4. If problems reoccur with the same key, check the original
remote key being learned – does it transmit? Does it
operate the target device?

18
Learning Main Keys
At the Home screen press the Side Key
next to Learn.
Then press one of the top 4 Side Keys
K6-K9 to the right of the screen.
Select the Device you want to learn
keys for. In this example we only have a
TV, Cable Box and Satellite Receiver
set up, so the rest are grayed out, but
you can still select any of the devices to
learn commands for. You are then
instructed to line up the remotes, and
press the key on the SRU8010 remote
that you want to learn.
You then point the remote you want to
learn commands from at the bottom of
the SRU8010 remote, and press the
key on the SRU8010 remote that you
want to learn a command under, e.g.,
the Power key.

19
Learning Main Keys, cont.
You then press and hold (in this example)
the Power key on the other remote, until
the display shows that the command has
been successfully learned. Note for some
types of key you might need to hold the
key pressed, but for other types a quick
press is sufficient. Experiment a bit. If
keys you learn are sent multiple times try
learning them with just a quick press.
(See Tips on Learning on page 16).
At this screen you can select Add Key to
a Macro. Then instead of learning
another “separate” key, the next key you
learn will be added to a Macro. This
Macro will be activated by the key that
you learned the first command under.
E.G., you could press Power and learn
the power command from your TV’s
remote, then select Add Key to Macro,
and press the 3 key and learn the channel
3 key from your TV’s remote. Then the
Macro stored under the Power key will
turn on the TV and change the channel
to number 3.
Learning a Macro - Main Keys
If the screen says Failure, you can press
the key and try again.
You can continue learning more
individual keys by following the
instructions on the screen, and then
press Done when you’re finished. Or
you can press Add Key to Macro, (see
below and next page).

20
Before learning the second key in the
Macro, you can if desired, set a delay
(1-10 secs) after which the command
stored in the Macro will be sent. For
example your TV might require a few
seconds after turning it on before it will
respond to a Channel Up/Down
command. (Repeatedly press the Side
Key next to Set Delay, or enter the delay
directly with the numeric keys, 0-9).
Macros - Main Keys, cont.
In this case let’s set a 1 second delay
between commands. Then point your
existing remote at the bottom of the
SRU8010 remote and press OK when
you’re ready.
You then press the second key on your
original remote that you want to add to
the Macro.
When success is displayed you can
continue adding keys to the Macro, and
then press Done when you’re finished.
