• Do not expose the remote control

remote control operations.

• Be sure to place the Commander

out of the reach of small children

or pets. Components such as air

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 components 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

label. 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

label. In this case, it is recommended to preset again (page 13)

and change the component name on the label (page 27, 65).

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 buttons

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 23).

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 30).

• You have assigned another component to the TV or AMP

label (page 46). In this case, the volume cannot be controlled

when you select a component other than TV or AMP.

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

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.).

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 29)

and try the learning procedure again (page 23).

“NG” flashes five times. • Learning has not succeeded. After checking the following, try

learning procedure again (page 23).

- Change the distance between remote commanders.

- See “For accurate learning” (page 29).

• The component codes cannot be set. See the supplied

“Component Code Numbers” and try setting the component

codes again (page 13).

Macro function cannot be programmed. You can program the

Channel Macro function of the components of which the first

digit of the four-digit preset component code number is 3, 8

or 9 (page 48).

• You may select the component function label for which the

Channel Macro function cannot be programmed. The learned

signal or the Channel Macro function have been programmed

for that label. Clear the learned signal (page 29) or the

Channel Macro function (page 50).

• The program contents you want to change are set to be

executed by the timer. Set the timer setting in which that

program is included not to be executed (page 58), and edit the

program contents.

• You may try to operate the preset function (page 13) after

operating the learning function (page 23). You cannot operate

the preset function after operating the learning function.

A system control

program does not

function correctly.

• Make sure that you have programmed the commands in the

correct order (page 34).

• 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

38).

• The component codes are changed or new signals have been

learned for a label that has been programmed with a series of

commands. In this case, the new signals are transmitted when

the series of commands is executed.

• The interval may be too short. See “Changing the interval

between operation steps” (page 42) and set a longer interval,

or adjust the series of commands by changing the order of

buttons and labels. (When programming the system control

function, you can make an interval by pressing the TIMER

button.)

- Check that the timer macro program functions correctly by

- Check the location of the Commander.

• The status of each component is not suitable for operation.

(For example, you program the power-on setting, assuming

that power of the component is off when the timer turns on.

However, if power of the component is on when the

component receives the timer signal from the Commander,

the component will turn off.)
