Features

The RM-VL710 Remote Commander provides centralized control of all

your AV components from a single remote commander and saves the

trouble of operating different AV components with different remote

control devices. The following are its main features.

Centralized control of Sony AV components with this one remote

commander

This Commander is preset at the factory to operate Sony brand

components, so you can use it out of the box as a control center for your

Sony AV components.

Remote control signals for non-Sony components are also preset

This Commander is preset for most major brands components including

Sony.

You can remote control your components by setting the type and

code number of each component (page 8).

Learning function for programming various other remote control

signals

This Commander has a Learning function, to “learn” the remote control

signals needed to operate other non-preset components or functions. (To

“teach” such signals to this Commander, use the remote control supplied

with the non-preset components.) (page 14)

In addition, the Commander can “learn” remote control signals (infrared

signals only) of non-Audio Visual components such as air-conditioners,

lights, etc. (Some specific appliances or functions may not be available.)

(page 22)

Reassigning new components

You can assign Component Select buttons to freely operate other

components. This is useful when you have more than two of the same

kind of AV component (only if a Component Select buttons is free.) (page

30)

You can only assign TVs to the TV Component Select button.
