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.

When to replace the batteries

Under normal conditions, batteries will last up to six 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.

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

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’ VCR, you would use
the code number 035.
If your component isn’t listed, see “Searching for the Correct
Code.”

While pressing the

SET

button, press the

POWER

button.

Press the button of the component that
you want to set up.

Note

On the

CBL/SAT

RCVR

AUX

, and

DVD

buttons, “analog cable

box”, “receiver”, “CD player”, “tape deck”, and “DVD player” are
assigned respectively at the factory. But you can also assign other
components on these buttons. For details, see “Changing the
Component Type on the

CBL/SAT

RCVR

AUX

, and

DVD

buttons.”

Enter the component’s code number.
For example, if you’re entering the code
for a Philips VCR, you would press

Press and release the

ENT

button to store

the code number in the Commander’s
memory.

Go to “Step 2: Checking if the Code Number Works” to finish
setting up.

Step 2: Checking if the Code Number Works

Power on the component you want to set up.

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 .

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.

Power on the component you want to set up. Insert a tape or disc
if necessary.

While pressing the

SET

button, press the

POWER

button.

Press the button of the component on the Commander that you
want to set up.

Press and release the

CH+

button. Then press and release the

POWER

button.

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 100 tries until the correct code number is
located.

When the correct code is found, press the

ENT

button to store the

code number in the Commander’s memory.

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.”

Changing the Component Type on the CBL/
SAT, RCVR, CD, AUX and DVD buttons

At the factory, “analog cable box” is assigned on the

CBL/SAT

button, “receiver” on the

RCVR

button, “CD player” on the

button, “tape deck” on the

AUX

button and “DVD player” on the

DVD

button. By completing the following procedure, you can change

this setting so that you can set up any component on these buttons.

While pressing the

SET

button, press the

POWER

button.

Press the

CBL/SAT

RCVR

AUX

, or

DVD

button.

Press and release the

(stop) button.

Press and release one of the following buttons;

to assign a VCR
to assign a digital satellite receiver, a digital cable box or a
digital video recorder
to assign a receiver
to assign a CD player
to assign a tape deck
to assign an MD deck or a DAT deck
to assign a TV
to assign an analog cable box
to assign a DVD

Press and release the

ENT

button.

Enter the component’s code number by following steps 2 to 6 of
“Entering the Code Number”, or steps 1 to 7 of “Searching for the
Correct Code.”

Controlling the Volume of Video
Components Connected to an Audio
System

The Commander is factory preset based on the assumption that you
hear the sound of your video components from your TV’s speakers,
and that you hear the sound of your audio components from the
loudspeakers connected to your receiver (or amplifier).

Factory Setting:

If you assign an audio component on the

CBL/SAT, CD, AUX

DVD

button,

you can control the volume of the receiver (or amplifier) on the

RCVR

button.

If you assign video components on these buttons, you can control the volume
of the TV.

Thus you can control the volume of your TV or receiver (or
amplifier) while operating a video or audio component without first
having to press the

RCVR

button. For example, to control the

volume for your VCR channels, you don’t need to press the

button first.
However, if your video components are connected to an audio
system, you probably hear your TV’s or VCR’s sound from the
loudspeakers connected to your receiver (or amplifier), not from
your TV speakers. In this case, you need to change the factory setting
so that you can control the volume of your video components
without first having to switch to the receiver (or amplifier).
To change the factory setting for the volume control, follow the
procedures below.

Note

This feature is effective only when a receiver or amplifier is set up on
the

RCVR

button. You cannot control the volume of a receiver (or

amplifier) set up on

CBL/SAT, CD, AUX

DVD

button while

operating a component of another button.

Changing the Factory Setting for the
Volume Control

While pressing the

SET

button, press the

POWER

button.

Press the

RCVR

button.

Press the

VOL+

button.

Press the

ENT

button.

The volume control setting is changed to “receiver/amplifier.” You
can control the volume of the receiver (or amplifier) of the

RCVR

button while selecting any component.

Notes

• Even if you try to program more than four operations and press the

corresponding buttons in step 2 above, only the first four buttons
that were pressed will be programmed.

• If you try to program only one operation on a macro key, the

setting operation will be rejected.

• You can program the Channel Macro function for up to three

components only. To program for the fourth component, first clear
all macro keys for a component.

To change or clear the program

When you want to change the setting or if you are no longer using
that programmed operation, follow the procedure below to
overwrite or clear the program.

Hold down the macro key that you want to change or clear.

After waiting for about three seconds, press the new sequence of
buttons, or, to clear the program, press and release

, and then

press and release

ENT

Release the macro key.

Note

Be sure to wait for about three seconds in step 2 above. While you
are holding down the macro key and waiting, the programmed
signals are transmitted; therefore, if you are aiming the Commander
at your component, the programmed operations may be performed
before you go on with the procedure.

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

VCR

CBL/SAT

RCVR

AUX

DVD

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.

• If your video components are connected to an audio system, make sure

you’ve set up the Commander as described in “Controlling the Volume of
Video Components Connected to an Audio System.”

• Should any problem persist, reset the Commander to the factory setting by

pressing the

POWER

VIDEO

and

VOL

– buttons simultaneously.
