About the factory setting

The Remote Commander is preset at the

factory to operate most Sony brand AV

components (see the table below).

If you operate a non-Sony AV

component, you need to set the

component’s preset code on the Remote

Commander first.

How to set up the Remote

Commander (On-PC Setup

and On-Remote Setup)

There are two ways to make settings for

the Remote Commander, “On-PC Setup”

with the aid of PC software and “On-

Remote Setup” directly on the Remote

Commander.

•

On-PC Setup (Recommended)

“On-PC Setup” uses the supplied

software for your PC, “AX Remote

Editor” to set up the Remote

Commander. By following the wizard,

it allows you to easily make all the

necessary settings for the Remote

Commander (components’ preset

codes, etc.,). Furthermore, you can add

and customize a range of settings

which are not available with On-

Remote Setup.

•

On-Remote Setup

“On-Remote Setup” is a way of setting

up directly with the Remote

Commander. However, some advanced

settings are not available with On-

Remote setup (see the table on page

14).

See “Setting procedure for On-PC Setup”

(page 14), or “Setting procedure for On-

Remote Setup” (page 15) for each setting

method.

IMPORTANT

You cannot use both methods. Once you

set up the Remote Commander by either

On-PC Setup (recommended) or On-

Remote Setup, you cannot make

additional settings using the other

method. You can only delete the entire

setup and start over using the other setup

method.
