Features

The RM-AV2100 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 (page 8).

Le a r n 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 (page 16).

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 38).

Re a ssig n in g n e w co m p o n e n t s

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 (page

35).

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 (page 23).

Da t a ca n b e t ra n sfe rre d a m o n g re m o t e co m m a n d e rs w it h t h e

You can transfer the data such as learned signals and component code settings between

this Commander and another Sony remote commander with the mark. It will save

m a rk

you the trouble of performing the same operations again for setting (page 41).

Ch a n n e l m a cro fu n ct io n a llo w s yo u t o se le ct a ch a n n e l w it h a sin g le ke y

Up to 4 key steps can be programmed on macro keys. If you set the key operations for

entering a channel number on a macro key, you can select the channel by pressing that

macro key (page 45).

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

For accurate learning

• Do not move the remote units during

the learning procedure.

To change the learned function, clear it

first and perform learning again.

• Be sure to keep holding down the

button of the other remote control until

you hear the confirmation beep.

• Use fresh batteries in both remote

control units.

• Avoid learning in places under direct

sunlight or a strong fluorescent light.

• The remote control detector area may

differ depending on each remote unit. If

learning does not work, try changing

the positions of the two remote control

units.

• When you teach signals of an

interactive signal exchange system

remote control unit (supplied with

some of Sony’s receivers and

amplifiers) to the Commander, the

response signal of the main unit may

interfere with the learning of the

Commander. In such a case, move to a

place where the signals will not reach

the main unit (e.g. other rooms, etc.).

pressing the RESET key, press the

key or button you want to erase.

The cleared key flashes together with

other learnable keys.

IMPORTANT

Be sure to place the Commander out

of the reach of small children or pets.

Also set the Hold function to lock the

all buttons on the Commander (page

47) when it is not used. Components

such as air conditioners, heaters,

electric appliances, and electric

shutters or curtains receiving an

infrared signal can be dangerous if

misused.

Changing the Touch-

Key Display

Each Component Select button has two

types of touch-key displays: the full-

function display and the basic-function

display. On the basic-function display,

only the keys that are used for basic

operations are displayed.

You can modify the basic-function

display by setting only the desired keys

on it (See “To display only the desired

keys.”).

• You can select only one of the display types

for all Component Select buttons.

If you change the display type to the basic-

function (“CHANGE 2”) display for a

Component Select button, the displays for all

other Component Select buttons are also

changed to the same type (“CHANGE 2”).

• The number of keys displayed on the full-

function display varies according to the

component codes preset for the Component

Select buttons. For components that have few

keys in the full-function display, the basic-

function display can be the same as the full

one. In this case, you cannot modify the

basic-function display (See “To display only

the desired keys.”).

• A key that has learned any signal is always

displayed both in the full- and basic-function

displays.

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 32.8 ft. (10 m).

• 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 CBL/ SAT, 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.

• You have assigned a different component to the Component Select

button. Check the component assigned to that button and the

component code.

You cannot control the

volume.

• 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 22).

• You have assigned another component to the TV or AMP button (page

35). In this case, the volume cannot be controlled when you select a

component other than TV or AMP.

You cannot operate the

components even after

setting the component

code numbers.

• Set the component code correctly. 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 16).

• The component may be operated with a code number that is not listed

in the “Component Code Numbers”. See “Finding a component code

with the Search function” (page 11) and try setting a code number

again.

The Commander fails to • When you teach signals of an interactive signal exchange system remote

the Commander, the response signal of the main unit may interfere with

the learning of the Commander. In such a case, move to a place where

the signals will not reach the main unit (e.g. other rooms, etc.).

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, see “For accurate learning” (page 20) and try the learning

procedure again (page 16).

Select button.

• Signals have been programmed for that macro key using the learning

function. Clear the learned signals (page 20) and try programming the

Channel Macro function for the same key again, or try with another

macro key.

• There are some keys, on which signals have been programmed, on the

display for the Component Select button of the Commander when the

commander receives the data from another Commander. Clear the

signals (pages 20, 21 and “Notes” on page 44) and try receiving the data

again.

“NG” appears during

learning.

• Clear infrequently used learned keys (page 20), then carry out learning

operations.

A system control

program does not

function correctly.

• Make sure that you have programmed the commands in the correct

order (page 23).

• 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 (page 27).

• The component codes are changed or a new signals have been learned

for a key or button that has been programmed with a series of
