How to Program and Customize Your URC-4913 Philips Remote

A great television deserves a great remote. The One For All Philips Replacement Remote is engineered to be the ideal companion for your TV, offering a superior feel and a full suite of functions—including the signature Ambilight key—that often work right out of the box. For other universal remotes that may not have such a dedicated button, you can always use the Learning feature to copy any function from the original remote. This is more than a replacement; it’s an upgrade.

Find Your ONE FOR ALL Remote Control Codes

This guide is structured to be a simple, logical path to full functionality. We will start with the instant, no-fuss setup that works for most users, then move to fine-tuning and advanced customizations.

Step 1: How To Setup One For All URC-4913 Philips Remote

This section covers the primary setup process. For the majority of Philips TV owners, these are the only steps you will ever need.

The Instant Connection Test

This remote is designed for immediate use with most Philips TVs made in recent years.

  1. Insert two AAA batteries.
  2. Point the remote at your TV and test a few core functions like Power and Volume.

If your TV responds correctly, your setup is complete.

The Primary Setup Method (If Needed)

If the instant test does not work, you must sync the remote to your specific TV model using this simple search process.

  1. Ensure your TV is powered on.
  2. Press and hold the Red and Blue keys simultaneously until the LED light behind the Power button flashes twice.
  3. Aim the remote at your TV and press and hold the Power key.
  4. The remote will now transmit a new power-off signal every three seconds. The moment your television shuts down, you must immediately release the Power key.
  5. The LED will flash twice to confirm the code is stored. Now, test the other keys to ensure full functionality.

Step 2: How Make All Keys Works Properly In URC-4913 Philips Remote

Occasionally, the primary setup will result in a remote that works, but one or two keys may not perform the correct function. This next process allows you to correct individual buttons without starting over.

  1. Make sure your TV is on.
  2. Enter the fine-tuning mode by holding Red + Blue until the LED blinks twice.
  3. Point the remote at the TV and press and hold the key that is not working correctly (for example, the Menu key).
  4. The remote will send a new command for that function every 3 seconds.
  5. When the correct function appears on your TV screen (e.g., the main menu opens), immediately release the key. The LED will blink twice, confirming the new command is saved for that key.

How To Setup Soundbar or AV Receiver To Philips Remote

This remote is primarily for your Philips TV, but it includes powerful features to control your sound system’s volume and even learn commands from other remotes. You can program the remote’s volume keys to control your audio system.

  • Quick Setup for Major Brands (Audio SimpleSet):
    1. Hold down Volume Up + Volume Down until the LED blinks twice.
    2. Find your audio brand’s digit in above provided list.
    3. Hold down that digit. The remote will send a Mute command every 3 seconds.
    4. When your soundbar mutes, release the digit to save.
  • Manual Setup for All Brands (Audio Code Setup):
    1. Hold Volume Up + Volume Down until the LED blinks twice.
    2. Enter the four-digit code for your audio brand from the from the article start provided list.
    3. Test the volume controls to confirm.

How To Use Learning Feature In One For All Philips Remote

This allows the remote to copy any function from any other working infrared remote.

  1. Hold Green + Yellow until the LED blinks twice.
  2. Press 975.
  3. Press the key on the One For All remote where you want to store a function.
  4. Press the corresponding key on your original remote. A double blink confirms success.
  5. When you are done, press and hold OK for 3 seconds to save.

How To Reset URC-4913 Philips Remote

If you would like to reset your remote back to its default settings, please do the following: 

  1. Hold down the Green and Yellow keys until the LED blinks twice.
  2. Press 977.
  3. The LED will blink 4 times and the remote is now reset.
The remote turns my TV on and off, but the GUIDE button doesn’t work. How do I fix just that one button?

This is the exact purpose of the “Fine-Tuning” process described in Part 2 of this guide. It allows you to correct individual key functions without affecting the buttons that are already working correctly.

Does this remote use 4-digit codes to set up my Philips TV?

No. For setting up your Philips TV, this model uses a simpler search method where you just hold down the Power key. However, you will need 4-digit codes if you want to program the remote to control the volume on a soundbar or AV receiver. Those codes are found in the main Audio Codelist on our homepage.

Can I make the YouTube key open a different app?

Yes. The app shortcut keys are fully programmable. You can record a macro (a sequence of key presses) that opens your desired app and assign that macro to the YouTube key or the other app shortcut buttons. This is a powerful feature, and for a different perspective, you can see how this process works in our guide for the LG replacement remote.

What is the “Power Macro” for audio devices?

If you have programmed the remote to control your soundbar, you can press and hold the Power key for three seconds. This will send a power command to both your TV and your audio device at the same time, allowing you to turn your system on or off with a single press.

Conclusion

The One For All Philips Replacement Remote is a purpose-built tool designed to offer a seamless and superior control experience. Its ability to work instantly with most TVs, combined with a simple yet powerful setup and fine-tuning process, ensures that any user can achieve a perfect configuration. By leveraging its advanced audio control and learning features, you can easily make this remote the single, intuitive controller for your entire viewing environment.
