I just got the Philips RU760 Remote Control as a christmas gift.

I've learned it to control all my hifi equipment, except my Sony Amp.

My amp is Sony STR-DB1080 with original remote RM-LP211.

When I try to send the IR signals from the sony remote to the philips, the philips blinks two times to verify the signal was stored. But when I try to use the philips remote on the sony amp, it doesn't work. However, some signals are ok when sent to philips remote.

The signals I want to philips remote to learn are: Select/OK, Select Video/Video2/DVD/VCR/And the rest, Menu and more!

I have used the search function on the Philips RU760, and with AV1 set on my amp, I can use several functions on the Philips remote, but some are still missing.

I have read in the Philips manual, they can give you a 5 digit code that you can set to a specified button.


Why can't my Philips RU760 control the Sony amp, even though the Philips remote says OK when a signal is transmitted to it?

What are the 5 digit codes? Is the a list somewhere to download?

Can someone please help me to use my Philips RU760 remote with my Sony STR-DB1080?!

Did you change the remote to AV1 also?

Yes, I have changed the remote to AV1 also.

I was hoping for the easy solution by asking about the remote AV1 setting, but since you already did it, we have to go further.

When you say you want to learn select/ok, select/video, etc, I assume you mean you are using the easy scroll key on the LP211 to select the function you want to learn, and then you are pressing the middle button on the LP211 remote to send the signal to the Philips remote. Is this correct? When you perform this operation to send a signal to the receiver, it works, right, so it should also work sending it to the Philips, and I have no idea why it doesn’t.

The manual says, for the 5 digit codes, that you have to call the helpline number given on page 145 to obtain the 5 digit code for the missing function. This means there is no list to download and you have to call the number given.

Thanx Ron, for helping me out!

I know about calling the help line number to get the 5 digit code, I was just wondering if anyone knew what the 5 digit stood for? Like if it was the Hz or something. Also if Philips had some list they got the digits from, which someone had a downloaded copy of... I'm gonna call Philips on monday anyways.

What's really anoying me, is that the Philips remote says "OK" (two blinks) when I learn the signals from the Sony remote, but then the Philips can't send the same signal to my amp... So it's not actually learning the right signal or something...
