Executing a Series of

Commands

—

System Control Functions

With the System Control function,

you can program a series of

operating commands, and execute

them simply as follows.

1

When the display for

component operation appears

(if not, press the SET button

repeatedly), press the SYSTEM

button.

2

Select the System Macro

number label by pressing the

Label Select button.

For example, when you watch a

video, a series of operations like

the ones below are necessary.

Example:

1

Turn on the TV.

2

Turn on the video (VCR1).

3

Turn on the amplifier.

4

Set the input selector of the

amplifier to VIDEO 1.

5

Set the input mode of the TV to

VIDEO.

6

Start video playback.

You can program up to 32

consecutive operation steps to

each of the System Macro labels

(SONY OFF, SYSTEM 2-12).

At the factory, the SONY OFF

label is preset with a series of the

system power-off commands for

Sony components. You can

overwrite a system macro over

this label.

If you have set the System Control

function for a component label

(page 40), the execution of the

programmed commands begins

when you press the Label Select

button corresponding to the label

for more than 2 seconds.

The component macro executing

time is variable by changing the

setting (page 43).

While executing the programmed

commands, at the same time that

each remote control signal is

transmitted, the corresponding

label is displayed.
