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.

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’ VCR, you would use

the code number 035.

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.

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

and

DVD

buttons.”

For the customers in the U.S.A.

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.”

4

Enter the component’s code number. For

example, if you’re entering the code for

a Philips VCR, you would press

-35

.

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


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.”

Changing the Component Type on the CBL/

SAT and DVD buttons

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

CBL/SAT

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.

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.

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

,

VCR

,

CBL/SAT

, or

DVD

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.
