5-Digit Codes for Newer Philips Remotes
Some newer Philips universal remotes — primarily models released after 2020 that support an expanded code library — use 5-digit codes. The programming steps are identical, but you’ll need to enter a 5-digit number instead of 4.
Common 5-digit codes for popular brands:
| TV Brand | 5-Digit Codes |
|---|---|
| Hisense | 10748, 11314, 11660, 12183, 13523 |
| Samsung | 10812, 10060, 10702, 10766, 11060 |
| LG | 10178, 11423, 11265, 12049 |
| TCL | 12049, 13949, 14235 |
| Vizio | 11758, 10864, 12183 |
If you’re unsure whether your remote takes 4-digit or 5-digit codes, check the model number printed on the back of the remote and match it against the guide below.

How to Program a Philips Universal Remote Using Codes {#manual-code-entry}
This method works when you have the code ready from the tables above.
Step 1 — Turn on the device Power on the TV, Blu-ray player, or cable box you want to control. Turn off any other devices nearby to avoid accidental pairing.
Step 2 — Press and hold Setup Point the remote at your device. Press and hold the Setup button. The red indicator light will blink twice and then stay solid. Release the button as soon as the light stays on.
Step 3 — Select the device type Press the device mode button that matches what you’re pairing — press TV for a television, DVD for a DVD or Blu-ray player, CBL for a cable or satellite box, or STR for a streaming device. The red light will flash once and return to solid.
Step 4 — Enter the code Use the number keys to enter the 4-digit (or 5-digit) code from the table above. Enter each digit slowly. The red light stays on while you type.
Step 5 — Test the remote Press the Power button. If your device turns off, the code is correct. Press Power again to turn it back on, then test the volume and channel buttons. If the device didn’t respond, start over at Step 2 with the next code on the list.
Tip: Some brands have 10 or more valid codes. If the first several don’t work, try the Auto Code Search method below before assuming incompatibility.
How to Program a Philips Universal Remote Using Auto Code Search {#auto-code-search}
Use this method when you don’t have the code or when none of the manual codes worked.
Step 1 Turn on your TV or device.
Step 2 Press and hold Setup until the red light stays solid, then release.
Step 3 Press the device type button (TV, DVD, etc.). The red light flashes and returns to solid.
Step 4 Point the remote at the device. Press and release the Power button once. The remote sends a batch of 10 codes automatically.
Step 5 Wait 2–3 seconds. If the TV turns off, one of the 10 codes worked. Press Power again to turn the TV back on — the remote is now paired.
If the TV didn’t turn off, press Power again. The remote sends the next batch of 10 codes. Keep repeating until the device responds. This process covers most devices within 2–4 minutes.
For a faster lookup, use the remote code finder tool to search your specific TV brand and model.
Philips Remote Model Guide — Which Codes Work for Which Remote
Philips has released over a dozen universal remote models. The code format and library size varies by model. Here’s a quick reference:
| Philips Remote Model | Code Format | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| SRP2006 | 4-digit | Entry-level model, controls 6 devices |
| SRP2018 | 4-digit | 18-device model, covers most major brands |
| SRP3014 | 4-digit | Mid-range, OLED-compatible models |
| SRP4004 | 4-digit | Premium 4-device model with macro keys |
| CL019 | 4-digit | Older budget model, limited code library |
| SRP5016 | 5-digit | Extended code library, newer smart TVs |
| SBCRU545 | 4-digit | Legacy model, pre-2015 |
Check the model number on the sticker on the back of your remote. If you own an SRP5016 or later and the 4-digit codes aren’t working, try the 5-digit codes from the section above.
You can also use the universal remote compatibility check tool to verify whether your Philips remote model is compatible with your specific TV brand.
Troubleshooting: Philips Universal Remote Not Working
Code Isn’t Working — What to Try
1. Try every code on the list. Some TV brands have 8–12 valid codes. Don’t stop after the first two.
2. Check the batteries. Weak batteries are the most common cause of failed pairings. The Setup button requires full battery power to initiate pairing mode. Replace with fresh AA or AAA batteries and retry.
3. Reduce the distance. Point the remote directly at the TV’s IR sensor — usually located at the bottom-center or bottom-right of the screen — from within 6 feet (2 meters).
4. Remove obstructions. Soundbars, furniture, and decorative objects placed in front of the TV’s IR sensor block the signal. Move them aside during setup.
5. Try the Auto Code Search. Even if you tried manual codes, the Auto Search method sometimes finds a working code the manual list misses because it cycles through the full internal library.
If you’re troubleshooting a Hisense TV specifically, the dedicated Hisense TV remote codes guide covers brand-specific code variants in more detail.
Remote Not Responding at All
If the remote doesn’t trigger the red Setup light at all:
- Replace the batteries immediately.
- Make sure the battery polarity is correct (+ and − match the diagram inside the battery compartment).
- Press any button while pointing the remote at a phone camera — if you see a faint purple or white flash on the camera screen, the IR blaster is working. If no flash appears, the remote may be defective.
HDMI-CEC Note for 2026 Smart TVs
If you own a smart TV from 2022 or newer — including Samsung (QLED/Neo QLED), LG (OLED), Sony (Bravia XR), or TCL (Google TV) — check whether HDMI-CEC is enabled before programming a universal remote.
HDMI-CEC allows a single remote to control all devices connected via HDMI. On Samsung TVs it’s called Anynet+, on LG it’s SimpLink, and on Sony it’s Bravia Sync. If CEC is active, you may already be able to control connected devices without any additional codes. Check the TV settings menu under General → External Device Manager (Samsung) or Connection Settings (LG) before setting up a universal remote.
How to Reset a Philips Universal Remote
If the remote is behaving erratically or previously stored codes are interfering with new pairings, a factory reset clears all saved codes.
To reset most Philips universal remotes:
- Press and hold Setup for 10 seconds.
- The red light blinks rapidly 4 times.
- Release the button. All saved codes are cleared.
After the reset, re-pair each device from scratch using the steps above. For a clean setup walkthrough, the TV setup checklist tool walks through each configuration step in order.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will a Philips universal remote work with any TV brand? Philips universal remotes are compatible with most major TV brands including Samsung, LG, Sony, TCL, Vizio, Hisense, Panasonic, and Toshiba. Compatibility depends on your specific remote model and its code library. Very new TV models released in 2025 or later may not be in older remote code libraries — use the Auto Code Search method in that case.
What’s the difference between 4-digit and 5-digit Philips codes? 4-digit codes are used by older and mid-range Philips remote models (CL019, SRP2006 through SRP4004). 5-digit codes are used by newer extended-library models (SRP5016 and later). The setup process is identical for both — just enter the full code when prompted.
Can I use a Philips universal remote with a Roku TV or Roku streaming stick? Yes, for Roku TVs the codes 2407, 2014, 0903, 2894, and 4395 work with most Philips remotes. For the Roku streaming stick (plugged into another TV), use codes 2014, 4395, or 0903. Note that advanced Roku functions like the Roku home screen may not be accessible from a universal remote — only basic TV control (power, volume, input) is typically supported.
My Philips remote controls the volume but not the channel. What’s wrong? This usually means the remote paired to the TV’s volume controls (which are often shared across brands) but didn’t lock the full code. Try re-pairing using a different code from the list. After entering each code, test both volume and channel before confirming.
Can I program multiple devices to one Philips universal remote? Yes. Most Philips universal remotes support 4 to 18 devices depending on the model. Each device type button (TV, DVD, CBL, etc.) stores a separate code. Repeat the setup process for each device, pressing the correct device type button each time.
Other Universal Remote Code Guides
If you’re using a different remote brand to control a Philips TV, or a Philips remote with a different device, these guides cover the most common combinations:
- GE universal remote codes — GE remotes with Philips and other TV brands
- RCA universal remote codes — full code list for RCA universal remotes
- One For All universal remote codes — alternative brand with wide compatibility
