REPAIRING AND NOT THROWING AWAY

In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!
Today, the West is headed for the abyss. For the ultimate fate of our disposable society is for that society itself to be disposed of. And this will happen sooner, rather than later.

PHILIPS MAGNAVOX - REM-110 - REMOTE CONTROL - SETUP PROCEEDINGS & OTHER FEATURES

PHILIPS MAGNAVOX - REM-110 - REMOTE CONTROL - SETUP PROCEEDINGS & OTHER FEATURES

 

REPLACEMENT & CODE SAVER
When the batteries need replacing the remote control will stop working and will require two (2) new "AA" alkaline batteries for continued operation. Once you remove the old batteries, program settings and codes will be saved for 10 minutes, allowing adequate time to insert new ones.
However, if you do not replace the batteries within the allotted time (e.g., 10 minutes), you will have to reprogram the remote control.
PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE MANUALLY
  1. Manually turn on a component (e.g.,TV,VCR, etc.) and, if applicable, insert media (e. g., cassette).
  2. On the remote control, press a component key once (e.g.,TV,VCR,CBL).
  3. Press and hold SET(approximately 5 seconds) until the red light blinks twice, then release SET.
  4. Enter the first four-digit code for your brand of component. If performed correctly, the red light will blink twice.
  5. Aim the remote control at the component and press POWER ONCE  It should turn off. If it does not respond, repeat steps 2 and 3, trying each code for your brand until you find one that works. If it still does not work, try using Auto Scan (see below) on how to pro-gram your component.
  6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 for each component you want to program into the remote control.
NOTE: Press each key within 10 seconds of the previous entry.  Otherwise, the remote control will exit the programming mode.  If you press SET at any time (except during step 3), the remote control will exit the programming mode without saving your entries. You will have to start with step 1 to begin programming again.
AUTO-SCAN METHOD
If your component does not respond to the remote control after trying all codes listed for your brand, or if your brand is not listed at all, try searching for your code using Auto Scan. For example, to search.
FOR A TV:
  1. On the remote control, press TV once.
  2. Press and hold SET until the red light blinks twice, then release SET.
  3. Aim the remote control at the TV and press SCAN. The red light will blink twice.
  4. Continue aiming the remote control at the TV (which may take up to 5 minutes) until it turns off. Immediately press any key except VOL-, SCAN, or SET.  If SCAN is pressed again after any key stops Auto Scan, the remote will continue Auto Scan of the next ID from where it stopped.  If you have passed by the code that turns off the TV, press VOL- one or more times until the TV turns on again.
  5. To lock in the code and exit Auto Scan, press and release SET the red light will blink twice.
  6. To search for codes of other components, repeat steps 2 through 5, but substitute the appropriate key (e.g.,VCR, CBL) for the (VCR or Cable) component you are searching for.
NOTE: In the search mode, the remote will send IR (infrared) codes from its library to the selected device, starting with the most popular code first.
CHECKING THE CODES GOT BY AUTO-SCAN
If you have set up the remote control using Auto Scan, you can now find out which four-digit code is operating your component:
  1. On the remote control, press a component key once (e.g.,TV,VCR, CBL).
  2. Press and hold SET until the red light blinks twice, then release SET.
  3. Enter 9-9-0. The red light will blink twice.
  4. To view the code for the first digit, press 1once. Wait 3 seconds, count the red light blinks (e. g., 3 blinks = 3) and write down the number.  NOTE: If a code digit is "0" , the red light will not blink.
  5. Repeat step 4 three more times for remaining digits. Use 2for the second digit,3for the third digit and 4 for the fourth digit.
To find codes of other components, repeat steps 1 through 5, but substitute the appropriate key (e.g.,VCR or CBL) for the component you are checking. As before, write down each four-digit code.
REMOTE'S BUILT-IN TIMER SETTING
  1. Press Sleep key once, 15 minute timer is set. Red light blinks once.
  2. Additional key presses within 10 seconds will increase the timer value in 15 minute increments up to a maxi-mum of 90 minutes. For each press of the SLEEP key, the red light will blink to indicate how many 15 minute increments have been programmed, e.g., one blink for first press, two blinks for the second press, etc. Sleep timer activates 10 seconds after the last press of the SLEEP key. The red light will blink once every 15 seconds to indicate that the timer is running.
NOTE: Once the sleep timer is running, the sleep timer is automatically canceled if any other key is pressed. The remote IR must be pointed to the component to turn off component when timer ends.
TO ACTIVATE BUILT-IN SLEEP TIMER, IF COMPONENT HAS SLEEP FUNCTION
  1. On the remote control, press a component key once (e.g.,TV,VCR,CBL).
  2. Press and hold SETuntil the red light blinks twice, then release SET.
  3. Enter 9-7-0. The red light will blink twice.
  4. Follow instructions above to Set Timer.
  5. To reset to component Sleep function follow steps 1 through 3 above.  At the end of step three, the red light will blink four times to indicate the remote is reset to component Sleep function.
VOLUME LOCK
The remote control is set at the factory to control the volume independently while in the TV,VCR, and CBL modes.
To control the volume from one mode (e. g.,TV) while in another mode (e.g.,VCRor CBL), perform the instructions below to lock the volume setting.
  1. On the remote control, press TV once.
  2. Press and hold SET until the red light blinks twice, then release SET.
  3. Press VOL+. The red light will blink twice.
PUNCH THROUGH
The VCR Transport keys (e.g.,REW, PLAY, FFWD, REC, STOP, ANDPAUSE) are set at the factory to control the VCR even if TV or CBL is the selected mode. In other words,VCR control "punches through" regardless of what mode is on. Moreover, you do not have to press VCR before pressing the mode key.
SLEEP FEATURE
Press SLEEP key to activate your component’s internal sleep timer.  (May not be available for all components.) If the component does not have a sleep function, the first press of the SLEEP key activates the remote’s built-in sleep timer. Timer can be set to a maximum of 90 minutes.
