Using Non-Preset

Remote Control

Operations

The remote control signals may be different for

some components or functions. In this case,

programme the remote control signals with the

learning function (see page 19). Note, however,

that components and functions that do not

support the remote control of infrared signals

will not work with this Commander.

— Le a rn in g Fu n ct io n

To operate non-preset components or

functions, use the following “learning”

procedure to “teach” any of the

programmable buttons and keys to

operate the functions of another remote

control. You can also use the learning

function to change the signal of

individual keys and buttons after setting

the component code number (page 12).

To “teach” to the Component Select

buttons or Label keys, see page 45.

To “teach” to the SYSTEM CONTROL

buttons or Label keys, see page 49.

To control the volume

Press the 2 +/ – buttons to control the

volume, and the % button to mute.

When you select a visual component, the

TV’s volume will be controlled, and

when you select an audio component, the

amplifier’s volume will be controlled.

You can change this setting also (page

29).

No t e s

• If you have programmed any signal for the

2 or % button for any component using the

learning function (page 19), that signal will

be transmitted instead of controlling the

volume of the TV or amplifier once you select

that component.

No t e

Some specific remote control signals may not

be learned.

• If you have programmed any signal for the

2 +/ – buttons or the % button of TV or

AMP using the learning function, that signal

will be also transmitted when you select

another component. However, if you have

programmed any signal for the 2 +/ –

buttons or the % button of another

component, that signal will be transmitted

only after you select that component.

• If you have assigned another component to

the TV or AMP button, the volume of the TV

or amplifier cannot be controlled even when

you select other components.

corresponding SYSTEM CONTROL button or

a Label key.

• During programming of a series of operating

commands, the DEL key is not displayed and

you cannot clear any operation step you have

programmed. If you have programmed an

incorrect operation by mistake, start again

from Step 1.

• If you try to programme more than 32 steps, the

System Control setting finishes, and the 32 steps

you have programmed are registered. If you

want to programme again, clear the programme

(page 35) and start again from Step 1.

• When programming a power-on command

for the System Control function, if you select

the Component Select button or the Label key

for which you programmed the Power-on

setting (page 43), the Power-on setting is also

available. So, the power of the selected

component turns off if the POWER1 key of

the component is programmed.

After Step 3 (page 32), hold the Mode

Display key pressed for more than 2

seconds. Then follow the same procedure

as that for changing the name of the

Label key in “To change the display of

the Label key,” Steps 2 - 5 on page 24.

If you press the CLEAR key, the Label

key returns to the previous display.

Ab o u t t h e o rd e r o f o p e ra t io n st e p s

• 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;

TV Power-on t VCR Power-on

t VCR play back t TV input select

• After the series of input commands is

executed, the Commander displays the

touch-keys of the component in 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

or a Label key when you start operating that

component. (In the example on page 33, the

touch-keys of TV are displayed.)

• If a series of commands is programmed for

the Component Select button or the Label

keys (page 38), the display of that component

is shown after the programme is executed.

In this case, clear the Power-on setting, or do

not programme the POWER1 key of the

component.

Ab o u t t h e in t e rva l b e t w e e n

• You can change the interval between

operation steps (page 40).

• If you cannot receive signals successfully

during consecutive operation steps, programme

the interval between steps by pressing the

TIMER button between operation steps in Step

6 on page 33. This operation of programming an

interval is counted also as a step.

Notes on System Control

Operations

• 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 or a Label

key.

To e ra se t h e SYSTEM CONTROL 1

o r 3 b u t t o n

At the factory, the SYSTEM CONTROL 1

button is preset with a series of power-off

commands for Sony components and the

SYSTEM CONTROL 3 button with a

series of power-on commands for Sony

components.

• 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 or a Label key.

Failure to do this can result in incorrect

operation when you press the SYSTEM

CONTROL button or a Label key again.

• Some components may not always be

powered on by the System Control

function. This is because the power of

the component goes 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.

To erase the programmed commands for

each button, follow the steps below.

1 While pressing COMMANDER OFF,

press MUTING.

2 Press the SYSTEM key on the display.

3 While pressing the DEL key, press the

SYSTEM CONTROL 1 or 3 button.

function from the button or key, you can use

the Power-On function.

• You can programme a signal by “learning”

(page 45) or a System Control function (page

38) for a Component Select button for which

the Power-On function has been

programmed. In this case, the Power-On

function is overwritten and cannot be used. If

you clear the “learned” signal or the System

System Control function.

In addition to the original function of

selecting the operating keys and buttons

of the desired component, the

Component Select button or the Label

signal by “learning.”

For example, if you always have to

change input select of the amplifier to CD

when listening to the CD player,

programme the signal of “changing the

amplifier’s input select” to the CD button

of this Commander. Then whenever you

press the CD button, it automatically

works as the original CD Component

Select button and changes also the

amplifier input select to CD. (In this case,

the amplifier should be turned on first.)

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.

Troubleshooting

If you have problems setting up or using the Remote Commander, first check the

batteries (page 7), 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 component,

and that there are no obstructions between the Commander and the

component.

• Turn on the component first, if necessary.

• 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 or Label key. A corresponding component is fixed by presetting

a component code number. Therefore, the name of component you have

preset may be different from that of the Component Select button or the

Label key. In this case, it is recommended to preset again (page 12) and

change the component name on the Mode Display key or the name of

the Label key (page 23, 24).

You cannot operate the

components even after

• 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 programme the remote control signals for

the component (page 19).

• 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 29).

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

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

component other than TV or AMP.

• 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.).

• Make sure that the Remote Commander has learned the correct signals.

If not, see “For accurate learning” (page 25) and try the learning

procedure again (page 19).

Symptom

Remedy

“NG” flashes five times. • Leaning has not succeeded. After checking the follows, try learning

procedure again (page 19).

- Change the distance between remote commanders.

- See “For accurate learning” (page 25).

• The component codes cannot be set. See the supplied “Component

Code Numbers” and try setting the component codes again (page 12).

• The data have not been transferred. See “Transferring data” (page 52)

and try transferring the data again.

• The data has not been received. See “Receiving the data” (page 56) and

try receiving the data again.

“NG” flashes twice.

• Learned signals have been programmed for the button or key to which you

want to set the learning, System Control or Channel Macro function. Clear

the learned signals (page 35, 60) and try setting again.

• Learned signals or the Channel Macro function have been programmed for

the Component Select button or the Label key to which you want to copy

the settings of another Component Select button or the Label key using the

copying function (page 47). Clear the contents (page 25, 60) and try the

copying procedure again.

• The key for which you want to programme the Channel Macro function is

not a Channel Macro key. You can programme the Channel Macro function

only for the Label keys.

• You may try to clear the learned signals in the Channel Macro setting mode

(page 60). In this mode, only Channel Macro settings can be cleared by

pressing the macro key while keeping the DEL key pressed. To clear the

learned signals, see page 46.

• Learned signals have been programmed for the Label key to which you

want to set the Channel Macro function. Clear the learned signals (page 25)

and try setting again. Or set to another Label key.

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

the display for the Component Select button or the Label key when the

Commander receives the data from another Commander. Clear the learned

signals using the CLEAR key and the RETURN key on the display of the

receiving mode (page 56). Or see “Changing or erasing the function of a

taught key or button” (page 25), and clear the learned signals.

• The programme contents you want to change are set to be executed by the

timer. Set the timer setting in which that programme is included not to be

executed (page 65), and edit the programme contents.

• You may try to programme the Power-On function (page 43) for a

Component Select button or the Label key to which the component code of

a non-Sony product has been set. This function is only for Sony

components.

• You may try to operate the preset function (page 12) after operating the

learning function (page 19). You cannot operate the preset function after

operationg the learning function. Preset after clearing the learned signals

(page 25), or preset to another Component Select button or Label key that is

not used.
