1. Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Philips SBC RU258 universal remote
control. After installing the remote control you can operate a maximum of
8 different appliances with it:TV, DVD player, DVD-recorder, video recorder,

You can find information about how to prepare this remote control for use in
the chapter ‘Installing the remote control’.
2. Installing the remote control
Inserting the batteries
1 Press the cover inwards and slide it in the
direction of the arrow.
2 Place two R03, UM4 or AAA type batteries
into the battery compartment, as shown.
3 Slide the cover back and click it firmly into
place.
Testing the remote control
The remote control has been programmed to operate most Philips
appliances. Because the RU258 may use different signals for each make and
even for different models of the same make, it is advisable to test whether
your appliance responds to the RU258.
The example below (TV) instructs you how to do this.You can repeat the
same steps for other appliances (DVD, video recorder, etc.) which you want
to operate using the RU258.
Example of TV:
1 Turn your TV on manually or use the original remote control.
Tune to channel 1.
2 Press the RU258’s TV key to select TV.
3 Check whether all the keys are working. For an overview of the keys
and their functions see ‘3. Keys and functions’.
– If the TV responds as it should to all of the key commands the RU258 is
ready for use.
• If the device does not respond at all or not to all of the key
commands, follow the instructions under ‘Setting the remote
control’.
