Philips SRU8112 Remote Control

Philips Updated: 2008-09-21 RSS

Easily select your favorite channels with our color icon-based universal remote! Blending technology and convenience, the Prestigo SRU8112 provides direct access buttons to your TV channels as well as big buttons for ease of use.

Extensive infrared code database for most devices & brands
A universal IR code database refers to a library of infrared codes built-in to a particular remote. This feature allows a remote to control your equipment without needing to learn individual signals. Select the correct infrared code sets in the database for the devices you want to control, to enable control of virtually every audio/video system element on the market today – regardless of model or brand.

Extensive library of channel icons for easy selection
The remote control incorporates a library of channel icons for most countries' main TV stations. Via the color LCD screen you can program the right channel icons for the right channel. Once setup, you use the LCD screen info to zap through your channels using the icons of TV stations instead of the digit keys on your remote.

Control up to 12 devices out of choice of 24
The 12-in-1 controller provides the convenience of controlling up to 12 audio video devices out of a choice of 24 with one remote control. The remote can be easily programmed to control almost any brand of almost all audio/video equipment, using the on-board IR code database. One single remote to operate all your devices, without the hassle of searching for the right remote!

No manual needed for set up
Unlike other universal remote controls, where a 3-digit code needs to be input to identify a brand and device, this remote incorporates on-device step-by-step instructions to setup your equipment, regardless of brand.

Convenient IR learning from another remote
Learning functionality refers to the process through which a remote control captures and stores infrared signals from other remotes for later use. When device codes are not included in the on-board database, they can always be learned from the original remote, simply by pointing to it.

Easily add and label extra functionality
Improved way of adding and labeling functions makes it easier and faster to add extra functionality. So, no more missing functions.

Activities to control multiple devices with one button press
Instead of operating your components one by one, activity based control blends the most commonly used functions into activities such as "Watch a movie" or "Listen to CD". When a user selects 'watch a movie', rather than having the end user address each individual piece of equipment - such as DVD player, TV and multimedia receiver -, one button holds all necessary commands to be able to start watching a movie: switch on the TV, switch on the amplifier and select the right input, switch on the the DVD player and start playing.

Big buttons increase operability and readibility
BIg buttons are larger size buttons on a remote to help read the label better. Additionally, pressing the button becomes more convenient, as the size has increased by 2 mm compared to the standard button remote size.

Selection buttons conveniently located next to screen
Selection buttons allow the user to easily select an option on a non-touchscreen LCD display. The screen is divided in 2 colums (right and left) with several rows. Each cell has a dedicated key (right or left) that, when pressed, will select the option indicated on the LCD screen.

Easy-to-read 2.0" color LCD display
2.0" color display (220 x 175 pixels) is foreseen on the remote to enhance readibility of the content on the screen.
