Features
The RM-AV2000 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.
Ce n t ra lize d co n t ro l o f So n y AV co m p o n e n t s w it h t h is o n e re m o t e co m m a n d e r
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.
Re m o t e co n t ro l sig n a ls fo r n o n -So n y co m p o n e n t s a re a lso p re se t
This Commander is preset for most major brands components including Sony. You can
remote control your components by setting their code numbers.
Le a rn in g fu n ct io n fo r p ro g ra m m in g o t h e r re m o t e co n t ro l sig n a ls yo u n e e d
This Commander has a learning function, to learn remote control signals to operate
non-preset components or functions. 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).
Ad d in g o r re a ssig n in g n e w co m p o n e n t s
You can use the OPTION button as an extra Component Select button. What’s more,
you can assign other Component Select Buttons to freely operate other components.
This is useful when you have more than two of the same kind of AV components.
Syst e m Co n t ro l fu n ct io n a llo w s o n e -t o u ch o p e ra t io n t o e xe cu t e a se rie s o f
co m m a n d s
You can program up to 16 consecutive operation steps to execute a series of operations
by pressing a single button.
Ea sy-t o -o p e ra t e t o u ch ke y LCD w it h b lu e b a ck lig h t
This Commander has a touch key LCD that changes the key display according to the
selected component. The Commander is easy to operate as only the keys necessary to
operate the selected component are displayed. The display backlight allows operation
even in the dark.

• If the remote control detectors of the
components are too far apart, or if
something is blocking them, some of
the components may not operate
consecutively even after you press the
SYSTEM CONTROL button.
• If some of the components did not
operate correctly because of the above
or for any other reason, always set all
the components back to the states they
were in before you pressed the SYSTEM
CONTROL button. Failure to do this
can result in incorrect operation when
you press the SYSTEM CONTROL
button again.
• Some components may not always be
powered on by the System Control
function. This is because the power of
the component gets on and off
alternatively when receiving the power
on/ off signal. In this case, check the
operating component’s power on/ off
state before using the SYSTEM
CONTROL function.
Tip fo r p ro g ra m m in g o n SYSTEM
CONTROL b u t t o n
After the series of input commands is executed,
the Commander displays the touch keys of the
component of the final step. By programming
an often-used component’s command as the
final step, you can save the step of pressing a
Component Select button when you start
operating that component.
Executing the programmed
commands
Press the desired SYSTEM CONTROL
button (1, 2 or 3). The programmed
remote control signals are transmitted in
the programmed order to operate each
component.

At the same time that each remote
control signal is transmitted, the
corresponding key is displayed.
• Some of the components may not
accept consecutive remote control
signals. For example, a TV generally
does not react to next signal right after
the Power-on signal. So, a series of
commands such as TV Power-on and
input select may not work properly. In
this case, insert other signals like the
example below;

In addition to their original System
Control functions (see page 19), SYSTEM
CONTROL 1, 2 or 3 buttons can be
programmed to “learn” any remote
control signal.
As they operate independently from
other buttons, SYSTEM CONTROL 1, 2
or 3 buttons can work as one-touch
buttons without any preceding operation
such as pressing a Component Select
button to select a component.
This is useful if you prefer having the
SYSTEM CONTROL button as a “one-
touch” button for a single operation
rather than executing a series of
commands.

Precautions
Specifications
• Do not drop the unit or give a shock to
the unit, or it may cause a malfunction.
• Do not leave the unit in a location hear
heat sources, or in a place subject to
direct sunlight, excessive dust or sand,
moisture, rain or mechanical shock.
• Do not put foreign objects into the unit.
Should any liquid or solid object fall
into the unit, have it checked by
qualified personnel before operating
the unit any further.
• Do not expose the remote control
detectors of your components to direct
sunlight or other strong illumination.
Too much light there can interfere with
remote control operations.
• Be sure to place the Commander out of
the reach of small children or pets.
Components such as air conditioners,
heaters, electric appliances, and electric
shutters or curtains receiving an
infrared signal can be dangerous if
misused.

such as alcohol, benzine or thinner as
they may damage the finish of the

Troubleshooting
If you have problems setting up or using the Remote Commander, first check the
batteries (page 6), then check the items below.
Symptom
Remedy
You cannot operate the
components.
• Go closer to the component. The maximum operating distance is
approximately 10m (32.8 ft.).
• Check that you are aiming the Commander directly at the compoent,
and that there are no obstructions between the Commander and the
component.
• Power on the components first, if necessary.
• Make sure you have pressed the correct Component Select button. In
case of DBS/ CBL, DVD or DECK B/ A, make sure the desired
component is displayed.
• Check that the component has infrared remote capability. For example,
if your component didn’t come with a remote commander, it probably
isn’t capable of being controlled by a remote commander.
• If your visual components are connected to an audio system, make sure
you’ve set up the Commander as described in “Controlling the Volume
of Visual Components Connected to an Audio System”. (page 18)
You cannot operate the
components even after
setting the component
code numbers.
• Set the component code correctly (page 8). If the code that is listed first
for your component doesn’t work, try all the codes for your component
in the order in which they are listed in the supplied “Component Code
Numbers”.
• Some features may not be preset. If some or all of the keys do not
function correctly even after you have set the component codes, then
use the learning function to program the remote control signals for the
component. (page 13)
You cannot operate a
component even after
you programmed the
remote control signals
with the “learning”
function.
• Make sure that the Remote Commander has learned the correct signals.
If not, try the learning procedure again. (page 13)
“NG” flashes during
learning.
• Clear infrequently used learned keys (page 15), then carry out learning
operations.
• See “For accurate learning” on page 15 and try the learning procedure
again. (page 13)
“NG” displays during
learning.
• Another remote control signal has been already programmed on that
key or button by the learning function. Clear learned functions (page 16)
and then try the learning procedure again. (page 13)

Symptom
Remedy
A system control
program does not
function correctly.
• Make sure that you have programmed the commands in the correct
order. (page 20)
• Try changing the orientation of the Commander. If that does not help,
try placing the components as close to each other as possible.
• Check the status of the components and make sure that you have set the
components properly to receive commands from the SYSTEM
CONTROL buttons.
The power of the
Commander turns off by
itself.
• This Commander is preset at the factory to switch the power off
automatically after 10 minutes if left unused. (Auto Power-Off, page 32)
You can change the power-off time from 10 to 90 minutes, or set the
Commander not to power off automatically.
