Features

The RM-VL600 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.

Centralized control of Sony AV components with this one remote

commander

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.

Remote control signals for non-Sony components are also preset

This Commander is preset for most major brands components as well as

Sony. You can remote control your non-Sony components by setting the

type and code number of each component (page 10).

Learning function for programming various other remote control

signals

This Commander has a Learning function, to “learn” the remote control

signals needed to operate other non-preset components or functions. (To

“teach” such signals to this Commander, use the remote control supplied

with the non-preset components.) (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 24)

Reassigning new components

You can assign Component Select buttons to freely operate other

components. This is useful when you have more than two of the same

kind of AV component (only if a Component Select button is free.) (page

33)

You can only assign TVs to the TV Component Select button.

You can only assign an amplifier or DVD/Receiver combo to the AMP

Component Select button.

Getting Started

When to replace the

batteries

Installing the

Batteries

Batteries for remote control

operation (two size AA (R6)

batteries)

Under normal conditions, the

batteries will last up to six

months. If the Commander does

not operate properly, the batteries

might be drained. When this

happens, replace the batteries with

new ones.

Slide open the battery

compartment lid and insert two

size AA (R6) batteries (not

supplied). Be sure to match up the

+ and – indications on the

batteries with the + and –

indications on the battery

compartment.

Note

Do not take more than one hour to

replace the batteries. Otherwise, your

code number settings (page 10) and

“learned” remote control signals (page

16) will be erased.

Notes on batteries

• Do not use an old battery with a new

one, or mix different types of

batteries together.

• If the electrolyte inside the battery

should leak, wipe the contaminated

area of the battery compartment with

a cloth and replace the old batteries

with new ones. To prevent electrolyte

from leaking, remove the batteries if

you plan not to use the Commander

for a long period of time.

Insert the batteries (negative end

first) through the guide clamp

within each compartment as

shown above.

For accurate Learning

•Do not move the remote units

during the Learning procedure.

•Be sure to keep holding down

the “learning” button until your

Commander reacts as described.

•Use fresh batteries in both

remote units.

•Avoid Learning in places subject

to direct sunlight or a strong

system remote control unit

(supplied with some of Sony’s

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.).

•If you used the Learning

function to program the VOL +/–

or MUTING buttons to send any

signal to components other than

the TV or AMP, that signal will

be transmitted only by pressing

VOL +/– or MUTING when you

select that component.

•If you used the Learning

function to program the VOL +/–

or MUTING buttons to send any

signal to the TV or AMP, that

signal will be transmitted only

after you select TV or AMP.

When you select other

components, the “learned”

signal will be transmitted.

To “teach” the signals for an

air-conditioner

See “Notes on programming the

signals for an air-conditioner” on

page 24.

IMPORTANT

Be sure to place the

Commander out of the reach of

small children or pets, and lock

the controls using the Hold

function (page 34).

Components such as air

conditioners, heaters, electric

appliances, and electric

shutters or curtains receiving

an infrared signal can be

dangerous if misused.

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 near 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.

Design and specifications are subject to

change without notice.

•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.

Maintenance

Clean the surface with a soft cloth

slightly moistened with water or a

mild detergent solution. Do not

use any type of solvent such as

alcohol, benzene or thinner as they

may damage the finish of the

surface.

Troubleshooting

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

check the batteries (page 8), then check the items below.

Symptom

Remedy

You cannot operate

components.

• Move 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.

• Power on the components first, if necessary.

• Make sure you have pressed the correct Component Select

button. In case of CBL or DVD, make sure the desired

component is selected.

• 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 have set up the Commander as described in

“Controlling the Volume of Visual Components Connected to

an Audio System” (page 25).

• You have assigned another component on the TV or AMP

button (page 33). In this case, the volume cannot be controlled

when you select components other than a TV or AMP.

The Component Select

buttons flash by a

you press a button.

You cannot operate a

component even after

setting the component

code numbers.

• Set the component code correctly. If the code that is listed first

for your component does not 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 16).

• The component may be operated with a code number that is

not listed in the “Component code numbers”. See “Setting a

Component Code by the Search Function” (page 13) and try

setting a code number again with the Search function.

You cannot operate a

any other reason, position the components back to the way

they were before you set the System Control function or

Control Program function. Failure to do this can result in

incorrect operation when you use these functions again.

• Some components may not always be powered on by the

System Control function or Control Program function. This is

because the power of the component turns on and off

alternately 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.

• If you change the AV brands‘ component code number (page

10) set on a Component Select button that has been

programmed for a series of commands by the Control

Program function, the new signal will be transmitted when

you press the corresponding Component Select button.

• The intervals between steps may be too short. Depending on

the components, you may need to insert an interval between

consecutive controls. You can insert an interval by changing

the order of pressing the buttons. (You can insert an interval

between steps when programming the Component Select

button.)

• If a SYSTEM CONTROL button or a Component Select button

has already “learned” a remote control signal (page 16), you

can program a System Control function (System Control

Macro) or a Control Program function (Component Macro),

but the function will not work until you clear the Learned

function. To clear the Learned function, see “Changing or

erasing the function of a “learned” button” on page 22.
