How do I Program my Philips Universal Remote with a Panasonic TV?

There are two ways to program a Philips universal remote control:

Option 1: Direct Code Entry

If you are familiar with the TV’s codes and want to program the remote with them, this is the best choice.

If you do not know or cannot find the codes for your TV, this is your best option.

How to a Program a Philips Universal Remote with a Panasonic TV using codes (Direct Code Entry)

Your Philips universal remote control contains thousands of device codes for the latest audio and video equipment.

So you would need to locate the code listed for your TV that came with your remote control.

We’ve listed Philips universal remote control codes for various TV makes and models below in this post.

Philips universal remote Direct Code Entry programming instructions

If you know the TV’s codes and want to program a Philips universal remote control with them, the “Direct Code Entry” method is the fastest. Below are the detailed instructions for programming it.

  • Step 1: Find the code list (CL3, CL4, CL5, or CL6) for the specific device that you want to program your universal remote control with.
  • Step 2: Manually switch on the device you wish to control and turn off any other devices placed near it.
  • Step 3: Press and hold down the “Setup Button” until the red light on the remote control turns on and remains on.
  • Step 4: Once the red LED is on, release the “Setup Button”.
  • Step 5: Press and release the device button you wish to control. For example, if you want to program your Philips universal remote with a TV, then press the TV button.
  • Step 6: After pressing the device button, the red light on the remote will blink once and remain on.
  • Step 7: Next, use the number buttons on the remote to enter the first four digit remote control codes for your device.
  • Step 8: Test the device to see if the Philips remote is fully functional and that the device responds properly.
  • Step 9: If the remote’s buttons don’t operate the device, return to “Step 3” above and try again using the next code for that device.

Philips universal remote programming: direct code entry

If programming your Philips universal remote control via the Direct Code Search method does not work, you can try the Auto Code Search method, which is detailed below.

The “Auto Code Search” programming method is useful for people who do not know the codes for the gadgets they want to program a Philips universal remote control with.

Below are detailed instructions for programming your remote without knowing its codes.

  • Step 1: Manually switch on the device you wish to control and turn off any other devices placed near it.
  • Step 2: Press and hold the “Setup Button” until the red indicator light turns on and remains on.
  • Step 3: Once the red indicator light turns on, release the “Setup Button”.
  • Step 4: To program a TV, press and release the “TV button”.
    The Philips universal remote can control six types of devices: TV, CBL, Blue Ray, Aux, Aud, and Strm.
    If you wish to do Auto Code Search for another device, press and release the appropriate button.
  • Step 5: After pressing the button for the device you wish to control, the red light on the remote will blink once and remain on.
  • Step 6: Point your remote at the device, then press and release the “Power Button” to start the code search.
  • Step 7: The red indicator light will start flashing while it searches.
  • Step 8: If a compatible code is found, your device will turn off and the red indicator light on the Philips remote control will stop flashing and remain on.
  • Step 9: If your TV doesn’t turn off, simply repeat the process again from “Step 4” above.
  • Step 10: Once your device turns off, manually turn it back on.
  • Step 11: Point your Philips universal remote at the device again and press and release the “Volume Up Button”.
  • Step 12: After pressing the “Volume Up Button”, the red indicator light will blink once and remain on.
  • Step 13: At this stage, if a compatible code is found, your device should turn off again.
  • Step 14: If the device doesn’t turn off after pressing the “Volume Up Button”, simply continue to press and release the volume up button.
  • Step 15: Once your device turns off, that means your remote now has the compatible code.
  • Step 16: To store this code in your remote, simply press the same device button which you pressed in “Step 4” above.
    In this example, we will press the “TV button” since we are programming the remote control with a TV.
  • Step 17: Now turn on your device using the Philips remote and test all its buttons to make sure your remote is fully functional with it.
  • Step 18: If the Philips remote is not fully functional with your device, simply return to “Step 2” to repeat the process and find a better code.

Philips universal remote programming: Automatic Code Search 

Why won’t my Philips universal remote connect to my Panasonic TV?

Compatibility Issues

One possible reason why your Philips universal remote is not connecting to your Panasonic TV is compatibility issues. 

While universal remotes are designed to be versatile, they may not support all TV models. It’s essential to ensure that your Panasonic TV is compatible with the specific Philips universal remote model you are using. 

Refer to the remote’s manual or check the manufacturer’s website for a compatibility list.

Programming Errors

Another common cause of connection problems is programming errors. Universal remotes require programming to sync with your Panasonic TV. 

If the programming is not done correctly, the remote will not be able to communicate with your Panasonic TV. 

Follow the programming instructions provided by Philips carefully, ensuring you input the correct codes for your TV’s brand and model.

Battery Problems

Low or depleted batteries can also prevent your Philips universal remote from connecting to your Panasonic TV. 

Check the batteries and replace them if necessary. Make sure to use fresh, high-quality batteries to ensure optimal performance. 

Additionally, ensure that the batteries are correctly inserted into the remote, following the correct polarity markings.

Line of Sight Interference

Infrared signals used by universal remotes require a clear line of sight between the remote and the TV’s infrared sensor. 

Objects or obstacles blocking this line of sight can hinder the connection. Check for any obstructions such as furniture, decorations, or other devices that may be blocking the path between the remote and the Panasonic TV. Clearing the line of sight should improve the connection.

Infrared Sensor Issues

If the infrared sensor on your Panasonic TV is not functioning correctly, it can prevent your Philips universal remote from connecting. 

Ensure that the infrared sensor on your Panasonic TV is clean and free from dust or debris. You can use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the sensor.

Reset the remote 

Try resetting the universal remote to its factory default settings. The reset procedure can vary depending on the model, so refer to the user manual for instructions on how to do this.

Test other functions 

Check if the universal remote can control other devices, such as a DVD player or a set-top box. If it can, then the issue might be specific to the Panasonic TV.

Try alternative methods 

Some universal remotes support automatic code scanning or learning functions. Explore these options if manual code entry doesn’t work.

Contact customer support 

If you’ve exhausted all troubleshooting steps and the remote still won’t connect to your Panasonic TV, reach out to Philips customer support for further assistance. 

They can provide specific troubleshooting steps or determine if there might be a hardware issue with the remote.
