Searching for the Correct Code
It is possible to find a code number available
for a component that does not have one in
“
Component code numbers.
”
Before starting the Search function
Set each component to the following status so
that the Search function works effectively.
TV, DVD Home Theater: Power-on
Other components: Power-off
*
If any of these components are assigned to any
of the Component Select buttons, you can set a
component code using the Search function.
1
Press and hold
SET
for more than two seconds. The SET indicator
lights up.
2
Press the appropriate Component Select button. The SET indicator
lights up.
3
Press
CH +
(or
CH –
) and
1
in turn until the component reacts as
follows:
TV: Power-off
Other components: Power-on
Press
CH +
to go to the next code number.
Press
CH –
to go back to the previous code number.
The SET indicator flashes once after the numbers have cycled
once.
One cycle means, for example, that the commander has finished
searching for all the code numbers allocated to the component.
4
Press
ENT
.
The SET indicator and the Component button turn off.
If the SET indicator flashes five times before turning off, setup is
incomplete. Start over from Step 3.

When to replace the batteries
Before replacing the batteries, have new ones ready beforehand.
Under normal conditions, batteries will last up to one year. 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
code number settings will be erased.
• Do not mix old batteries with new ones, or mix different battery types 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 to not use the Commander for a long period of time.

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,
MUTING
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
to a moderate level. 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.

WARNING
This equipment has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for
a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio
or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the
receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between
the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an
outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an
experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
You are cautioned that any
changes or modifications not
expressly approved in this manual
could void your authority to

Setting Up the Remote Commander
About setting up the Commander
The Commander is set up at the factory to operate Sony brand
components. However, even if you intend to use the Commander
with a Sony component, you may still need to set up the
Commander for it, depending on the component.
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 will need to follow the instructions in this
manual to preset the Commander with the correct code number for
your component. (See
“Startup Guide”
and
“Component Code
Numbers”
.)
Note
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).

Troubleshooting
If you have problems setting up or using the Commander:
• When setting up the Commander, carefully go through the procedures
described in
“
Startup Guide.
”
If the code that is listed first for your component
does not work, try other codes for that component – in the order in which they
are 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.
”
• Make sure that you are aiming the Commander directly at the component,
and that there are no obstructions between the Commander and the
component.
• Make sure the batteries you are using are not worn out, and that they are
inserted correctly.
• Check that the appropriate
TV
or
CBL/SAT
button is pressed.
• Check that the component has infrared remote capability. For example, if
your component did not come with a remote control, it probably is not
capable of being controlled by the Remote Commander.
• Should any problem persist, reset the Commander to the factory setting by
pressing the
1
,
INPUT
and
VOL –
buttons simultaneously.
