Sony STR-DE875 Operating Instructions - Page 66

Remote Button Description Programming the remote You can program the remote to control non-Sony components by changing the code. Once the control signals have been memorized, you can use those components as part of your system. Furthermore, you can also program the remote for Sony components that the remote is unable to control. Note that the remote can only control components that accept infrared wireless control signals. Note When you assign a component to the MONITOR button, you can operate the programmed component without changing the function of the receiver. 1 Press AV ?/1 while pressing down USE MODE. The indicator lights. 2 Press the function button (including MONITOR) for the component you want to control. For example, if you are going to control a CD player, press CD. 3 Press the numeric buttons to enter the numeric code (or one of the codes if more than one code exists) corresponding to the component and the maker of the component you want to control. See the tables on pages 67 and 68 for information on the numeric code(s) corresponding to the component and the maker of the component (the first digit and the last two digits of the numeric code correspond to the category and the maker's code respectively.) 4 Press ENTER. Once the numeric code has been verified, the indicator slowly flashes twice and the remote automatically exits the programming mode. 5 Repeat steps 1 to 4 to control other components. To cancel programming Press USE MODE during any step. The remote automatically exits the programming mode. z To activate the function after programming. Press the programmed button to activate the function you want. z If programming is unsuccessful, check the following: • If the indicator does not light up in step 1, the batteries are weak. Replace both batteries. • If the indicator flashes 4 times in quick succession while entering the numeric code, an error has occurred. Start again from step 1. Notes • The indicator turns off while a valid button is pressed. • In step 2, if several function buttons are pressed, only the last pressed button is valid. • In step 3, if a function button is pressed, the new function is selected and the programming procedure returns to the beginning of step 3. • For the numeric codes, only the first three numbers entered are valid. To clear the memory of the remote To clear all programmed and learned signals, do the following to reset the remote to factory settings. Press ?/1, AV ?/1 and MASTER VOL - at the same time. The indicator flashes 3 times, then goes off. The numeric codes corresponding to the component and the maker of the component Use the numeric codes in the tables below to control nonSony conponents and also Sony components that the remote is normally unable to control. Since the remote signal that a component accepts differs depending on the model and year of the component, more than one numeric code may be assigned to a component. If you fail to program your remote using one of the codes, try using other codes. Notes • The numeric codes are based on the latest information available for each brand. There is a chance, however, that your component will not respond to some or all of the codes. • All of the functions on this remote may not be available when used with your particular component.
