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 setting 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.

For the customers in the U.S.A.

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 operate this equipment.

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 are using 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

“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).

Installing the Batteries

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 – in the

battery compartment.

1

2

Searching for the Correct Code

You can 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 Component Select button for the desired component.

3

Press

CH +

(or

CH –

) and

POWER

in turn until the component

reacts as follows:

TV, DVD Home Theater: 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 component for code numbers allocated to the

component.

4

Press

ENTER

.

The SET indicator turns off.

If the SET indicator flashes five times before turning off, setup is

incomplete. Start over from Step 3.

If the component does not operate properly, repeat steps 1 to 4 and

search for another code.

If you still cannot get the Commander to work properly, see

“

Troubleshooting.

”

Operating a Component

1

Press the button of the desired component on the Commander.

TV

VCR

CBL

DVD

2

Aim the Commander directly at the component.

3

Press the button for the function you want to use.

See

“

Remote Button Descriptions

”

for complete descriptions of the

buttons on the Commander.

Notes on Using the Remote Commander

Basically, use this Commander in the same way as the remote

controls 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 a 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.

Design and specifications are subject to change without notice.

The validity of the CE marking is restricted to only those countries

where it is legally enforced, mainly in the countries EEA (European

Economic Area).

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 all the codes for your 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 button of the

TV

,

VCR

,

CBL

, or

DVD

is pressed to choose your

desired component.

• 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

POWER

,

INPUT

and

VOL –

buttons simultaneously.

For the customers in the U.S.A.
