Setting the Code
Follow the steps 1 and 2 below for each component you plan to
use with the Commander.
Step 1: Entering the Code Number
1
See the supplied
“
Component Code numbers
”
, and find the
three-digit code number for the desired component.
If more than one code number is listed, use the number that’s
listed first to complete the steps below.
For example, if you’re setting up a Philips’ TV, you would use
the code number 056.
If your component isn’t listed, see
“
Searching for the Correct
Code.
”
2
While pressing the
SET
button, press the
POWER
button.
3
Press the button of the
component that you want to
set up.
4
Enter the component’s code
number. For example, if you’re
entering the code for a Philips TV,
you would press
-56
.
5
Press and release the
ENT
button to
store the code number in the
Commander’s memory.
6
Go to
“
Step 2: Checking if the Code Number Works
”
to finish
setting up.
If you press a wrong button in step 4
Press the
POWER
button while pressing the
SET
button and
then go back to step 2.
Step 2: Checking if the Code Number Works
1
Power on the component you want to set up.
2
Aim the Remote Commander at the component and press a
button to check if that button works.
For example, press the
POWER
button to see if it works on
your component .
3
Check that the other buttons of the Commander is operating
the corresponding functions of the component.
You can write down the code number on the label inside the
battery compartment lid.
If the Commander Doesn’t Seem to Be Working...
•First, try repeating these setup procedures using the other
codes listed for your component (see the supplied
“
Component
Code Numbers
”
).
•If – after trying all the codes listed for your component – you
still cannot get the Commander to work properly, try the
search method described in
“
Searching for the Correct Code.
”
Searching for the Correct Code
If you’ve tried all the code numbers listed for your component
and you still cannot get the Commander to work (or if your
component is not listed in the
“
Component Code Numbers
”
tables), try these steps.
1
Power on the component you want to set up. Insert a tape or
disc if necessary.
2
While pressing the
SET
button, press the
POWER
button.
3
Press the button of the component on the Commander that
you want to set up.
4
Press and release the
CH+
button. Then press and release the
POWER
button.
5
Repeat step 4 until the correct code number is found.
Each time you press the
CH+
button and then the
POWER
button, a new code number will be transmitted.
Keep trying until your component operates by receiving the
transmitted signal from the Commander (e.g., the power turns
off, the CH+ function works, playback starts, etc.) Be patient
as you do this; it may take about 70 tries until the correct code
number is located.
6
When the correct code is found, press the
ENT
button to store
the code number in the Commander’s memory.
7
Check that the Commander is operating the other functions of
your component by pressing the corresponding buttons on
the Commander. If they seem to be working properly, you’re
done setting up the Commander.
If the component does not operate properly, repeat steps 1 to 6
and search for another code.
If you still cannot get the Commander to work properly, see
“
Troubleshooting.
”
Operating a Component
1
Press the button of the desired component on the
Commander.
2
Point the Commander directly at the component.
3
Press the button for the function you want to use.
See
“
Remote Button Descriptions
”
for complete descriptions of
the buttons on the Commander.
Notes on Using the Remote Commander
Basically, use this Commander in the same way as the
Commanders supplied with your components.
•Using this Commander will not increase the functions of your
components. The functions of the Commander are limited to
the functions of the components themselves. For example, if
your TV does not have a MUTING function, the
MUTING
button on this Commander will not function with your TV.
•Some functions of the component may not work with this
Commander.
•If your cable box can control volume, be sure to set its volume
switch to a medium position. If the volume on the cable box is
turned down completely, you will not be able to adjust your
TV’s volume with the Commander.

Setting Up the Remote Commander
About Presetting the Commander
The Commander is preset at the factory to operate Sony brand
components.
If you’re using the Commander with a Sony component, you
won’t need to preset the Commander before you start using it.
To set up the Commander to use with other (non-Sony)
manufacturers’ components, or to use with a component that is
not preset at the factory, you’ll need to follow the instructions in
this manual to preset the Commander with the correct code
number for your components. (See the supplied
“
Component
Code Numbers
”
also.)
Notes
•The Commander can be set up to operate only one component
per button – unless their code numbers happen to be the same.
For example, you cannot set up the Commander to operate a
Sony TV and a Panasonic TV simultaneously (because they use
different code numbers).
•You may not be able to operate even a Sony brand component
with the factory presetting. In such a case, follow the
procedure in
“
Setting the Code.
”
Installing the Batteries
Before replacing the batteries, have new ones ready
beforehand.
Slide open the battery compartment and insert two size AA (R6)
batteries (not supplied).
Be sure to line up the + and – on the batteries with the + and –
on the battery compartment.
1
2
When to replace the batteries
Under normal conditions, batteries will last up to 6 months. If
the Commander does not operate properly, the batteries might
be worn out. Replace the batteries with new ones.
Notes
•Replace both batteries with new ones.
•Do not take more than 3 minutes to replace the batteries;
otherwise, your setting of the code numbers will be erased.
Notes on Batteries
•Do not mix old batteries with new ones or mix different types
of batteries together.
•If the electrolyte inside the battery should leak, wipe the
contaminated area of the battery compartment with a cloth and
replace the old batteries with new ones. To prevent the
electrolyte from leaking, remove the batteries when you plan
not to use the Commander for a long period of time.

Troubleshooting
If you have problems setting up or using the Commander:
• When setting up the Commander, carefully go through the
procedures described in “Setting the Code.” If the code that’s
listed first for your component doesn’t work, try all the codes for
your component - in the order in which they’re listed. If all the
codes fail to work (or if your component is not listed in this
manual), try using the procedures in “Searching for the Correct
Code.”
• Check that you’re aiming the Commander directly at the
component, and that there are no obstructions between the
Commander and the component.
• Make sure the batteries you’re using are not worn out, and that
they’re inserted correctly.
• Check that the button of the
TV
or
CBL
is pressed to choose your
desired component.
• Check that the component has infrared remote capability. For
example, if your component didn’t come with a remote
commander, it probably isn’t capable of being controlled by a
remote commander.
• Should any problem persist, reset the Commander to the factory
setting by pressing the
POWER
,
TV
/
VIDEO
and
VOL–
buttons
simultaneously.
