Programming the Remote Control (Continued) After programming Be sure to test that the component really works with the programmed signals. How many signals can you store in memory? You can store approximately 60 signals, depending on the format of the signal being used. Memory capacity If the LEARN indicator does not blink or light in step 3-0 or ®, this indicates that the memory capacity is full. In this case, clear the signal stored in that button following the procedure described in 'To clear a programmed signal" and program again from the beginning. When programming, avoid the following conditions. • Placing the remotes too far apart from each other. • Exposing the remotes to intense light such as of invertor fluorescent lamp. • Receiving infrared signals of another appliance's remote. Notes on programming • Remote control signals of components of manufacturers other than Sony can be programmed only when they are compatible with the infrared wireless remote control system. Since the programmable remote can "learn" only the signals output from another remote, it cannot control components that do not use a remote. • Do not attempt to use the programmable remote with an air conditioner or other household appliance. • Note that there are some special remote control signals that cannot be programmed. • The SYSTEM CONTROL/FUNCTION button of this remote does not work for the other components even if their signals are programmed. Programming a New Signal onto a Previously Programmed Button Follow the programming procedure described on page 25. The previously programmed signal is cleared and replaced by the new signal. To clear a programmed signal 1 Press the LEARN button with a ball-point pen, etc., so that the LEARN indicator lights up. 2 Press the button to be cleared while pressing the BACKGROUND button until the LEARN indicator goes off. To program a signal onto the • button for recording It is not possible to operate any component with only the • button. You have to program the record standby signal and record start signal under the • + ► button on the receiver's remote. With a tape deck, you can also program the signal under the • + -ill button (in the reverse direction). Notes on batteries If the LEARN indicator does not light when a button is pressed, this means that the batteries are low. When the batteries are low, the remote can no longer operate the unit and programming becomes impossible. If this happens, replace both batteries with new ones. We recommend you use alkaline batteries for extended use. 26
