Universal remote controls give you the ability to turn several different remote controls into one. The Philips C1035a is a remote that can control up to five different components. Using the C1035a allows you to either get rid of or put away the remotes for those components. Before you can start using a Philips universal remote, you must first program the remote with each device found in your home. This is done by manually going through different codes until you locate the right one.
Step 1
