The Philips SRU9600 universal remote control makes it easy to set up and control eight of your home entertainment components. Now you can finally put away all your remote controls and replace them with one beautiful controller. The SRU9600 not only handles all the functions of your original remotes, it is also much easier and more convenient to use. It incorporates the use of an LCD screen to show only the relevant buttons the user needs, and it also includes an iPod like wheel for navigation of the remote's menu and the programmed components. The SRU9600 is the first of a family of universal remote controls that all share a similar touch sensitive LCD screen that only shows the relevant keys the user needs. 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.
