Sony RM-VL900 Operating Instructions (primary manual) - Page 27

Notes on System Control Operation • If the remote control detectors of the components are too far apart, or if something is blocking them, some of the components may not operate consecutively even after you press the SYSTEM CONTROL button. • If some of the components did not operate correctly because of the above or for any other reason, always set all the components back to the states they were in before you pressed the SYSTEM CONTROL button. Failure to do this can result in incorrect operation when you press the SYSTEM CONTROL button again. • Some components may not always be powered on by the System Control function. This is because the power of the component gets on and off alternatively when receiving the power on/off signal. In this case, check the operating component's power on/off state before using the system control function. • If the system control function does not work correctly, see also "Tips for programming the System Control function" on page 26. Programming a series of commands to the Component Select buttons Same as the SYSTEM CONTROL buttons, you can also program a series of operating commands on the Component Select buttons (up to 16 steps). Example: To program the procedure on page 23 to the VCR button 1 Press S (set). All Component Select buttons flash. 2 Press and hold the desired Component Select button for more than 3 seconds. The selected Component button lights up and all other button flash rapidly. Continued 27
