Philips manufactures many universal remotes, from basic models like the Philips SRP1103/27 to more advanced options like the Philips 4-Device Universal Vizio Replacement Remote (SRP9141A/27).
These remotes vary in features, such as the number of devices they can control, backlighting, and dedicated streaming buttons.
For Vizio TV users, compatibility depends on the remote’s code library, which Philips updates to support major brands, including Vizio.
Each Philips remote model supports a specific code format—either 3-digit, 4-digit, or 5-digit—depending on its design and firmware.
The correct code format for your remote can usually be found in the user manual, on the Philips website, or by checking the remote’s battery compartment for a model number.
But which Philips universal remote codes are compatible with Vizio TVs?

How to program your Philips universal remote to a Vizio TV
Programming your Philips universal remote to work with your Vizio TV is a straightforward process requiring careful attention to detail. Generally, there are two common methods: the Manual Code Entry Method and the Auto Code Search Method.
Most Philips remotes support both, though the exact steps may vary slightly depending on your model. Always refer to your remote’s manual for model-specific instructions.
Manual Code Entry
The method involves entering one of the codes listed above directly into your remote. If you have a working code, it is the fastest way to program your remote. Try the following:
- Turn on your Vizio TV using the power button or the original remote.
- Press and hold the Setup button (sometimes labelled “Code Search” or “Set”) until the indicator light (usually red) turns on and stays lit. This puts the remote in programming mode.
- Press the TV button on your remote to indicate you are programming it for a television. The indicator light may blink once and remain on.
- Use the number pad to enter one of the 4-digit codes from the list above (e.g., 0154). For example, Press 0-1-5-4.
- If the code is accepted, the indicator light should blink twice and turn off.
- Point the remote at your Vizio TV and press the Power button. If the TV turns off, the code works. If not, repeat steps 2–4 with a different code (e.g., 1174 or 0062).
If the code works, press the Setup button again to lock it in (some models save automatically). Then, test other functions, like the volume and channel buttons, to ensure full compatibility.
Auto Code Search
If the manual entry does not work or you are unsure which code to use, the auto code search method scans through all possible codes until it finds a match. Do the following:
- Ensure the TV is powered on.
- Press the Setup or Code Search button until the indicator light stays on.
- Select your device by pressing the TV button.
- Press and release the Power button repeatedly (some models require you to press it once and wait). The remote will send different codes to the TV.
- When the TV turns off, immediately press the Enter or OK button to stop the search and save the code.
- Turn the TV back on with the Power button and test other functions like volume and input selection.
The auto search can take several minutes, so be patient. If it cycles through all codes without success, double-check your remote’s battery and try again.
Additional programming tips
Before programming, you must ensure the following:
- Your remote has fresh batteries to avoid interruptions.
- Stand 3–5 feet from the TV for a clear signal during programming.
- Some older Vizio TVs may require codes like 0004 or 0189, while newer models might work better with 1174 or 1154.
- Once programmed, your Philips universal remote should control your Vizio TV seamlessly. If you encounter issues, you should troubleshoot the problem.
For example, if the code does not work, try another code from the list. Double-check that you entered the code correctly and that the indicator light responded. Alternatively, the auto code search method lets the remote find a compatible code automatically.
Finally, if you notice that the remote only controls some functions (the power button works, but volume or input selection does not), the code may only offer partial compatibility. Try a different code that fully syncs all functions.
Conclusion
Pairing your Philips universal remote with your Vizio TV is a game-changer that simplifies your home entertainment setup. You can use codes like 0154, 1174, 0062, and 0204 for your Vizio TV.
Alternatively, you can use other specialised options for Philips-Magnavox (0062, 0207) and DSHD800R (0632). These codes will give you everything you need to take control.
However, if you try one code and notice it does not work, use a different one. Also, ensure that your remote has fresh batteries to avoid interruptions and that you stand 3–5 feet from the TV during programming for a clear signal.
