Philips SRU8015 review
Control up to 15 devices out of a choice of 25 The 15in1 controller
provides the convenience of controlling up to 15 home entertainment devices
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!
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.
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.
Easy-to-read 2.0" high resolution color LCD display To read the
content on the LCD display clearly, the display is of high resolution
quality (220 x 175 pixel TFT display). This high quality ensures great
readibility of the content on the screen
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.
Rotary cursor control for fast menu navigation A cursor incorporating a
rotary wheel enables you to navigate through the setup menu and the device
pages, in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions.
LCD screen with backlighting for convenience in the dark Backlighting is a
feature that illuminates the LCD screen or keypad for use in the dark. The
two most common types of backlighting include LED and electroluminescent
(EL). Remotes backlit with LEDs are typically bright but uneven with a
yellow or green color, while EL panels are smooth with blue, white or green
shades.
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.
