F Power on
The RC9800i will determine the best method to power on your device. Follow
the on-screen instructions (fig. 7).
G Channel selection
Note: This step will only appear for devices that have a built-in tuner.
The RC9800i will now prompt you with questions to find the best method for
tuning to 1, 2 and 3-digit channels. Follow the on-screen instructions (fig. 8).
H Input selection
Note: This step will only appear for devices that accept inputs from external devices.
You will be asked a few questions on external inputs i.e. audio-video input
sources that feed audio-video signals into your device (fig. 9). These may be
labeled AV1, AV2, EXT1, EXT2, etc (fig. 10).
Tip: Turn on all input sources.
When asked, add the input source’s label to the list. Please make sure that:
■ you read through all the options carefully (fig. 9). Some options look very
similar, but differ considerably. Choose the input selection method that best
matches your situation.
■ you list ALL inputs (fig. 11), also those that you never actually use or to
which currently no external devices are connected. The RC9800i needs to
know exactly the actual sequence of your device’s input sources in order to
correctly control your equipment.
Repeat steps A through H in Part 10 for every device that you want to control with
the RC9800i.

Set up Activities
The RC9800i will now collect information on the activities for which your
AV equipment is used (e.g. Watch a DVD, listen to a CD, etc.).
Make sure all A/V devices involved are properly connected before proceeding. Select
all activities that you want to configure on your RC9800i; you can always redo this
step at a later time.
Note: If you want to know more about Activities and Activity-Based Control, please read ‘What You Should Know About
Activity-Based Control’ on page 12 of the User Manual. This background information is not mandatory for completing the
Activity Setup.
In the course of the Activities Setup, all activities will be configured room by room.

Electronic Program Guide (EPG)
Your RC9800i comes with a 1 year free-of-charge subscription to the Philips
Internet EPG Service. Before you can use the EPG application on the RC9800i, you
first must perform a few service-related settings. Some of these service-related
settings are to be performed on a PC using a Web browser, NOT on the RC9800i.
Please refer to p. 46-50 the User Manual for instructions on how to setup the EPG.
