Battery life  
Installing the Batteries  
Under normal conditions, size AA  
(LR6) alkaline batteries will last up  
to one year. If the RM-VLZ620 does  
not operate properly, the batteries  
might be drained. If this happens,  
replace both batteries with new  
ones.  
Slide open the battery compartment  
lid and insert two size AA (R6) dry  
batteries (not supplied).  
Insert the batteries (negative end  
first) into the battery compartment  
as shown below.  
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 RM-  
VLZ620 for a long period of time.  
Note  
Even if you replace the batteries, your  
manufacturer’s code settings or learned/  
programmed remote signals remain stored.

Note  
Devices such as air conditioners and heaters  
receiving an infrared signal can be dangerous  
if misoperated. Be sure to place the RM-  
VLZ620 out of the reach of small children or  
pets, and lock the controls using the Hold  
function (page 31).  
To cancel the process  
Press SET anytime.  
Notes  
If you teach a signal to a button, the  
learned function will remain even after  
you set a manufacturer’s code.  
You cannot teach a simultaneous button  
operation (for example + ) to the  
two buttons on the RM-VLZ620 at a time.  
In this case, teach the signal to a single  
button while pressing two buttons on the  
original remote control at the same time.  
Tips for teaching accurately  
Do not move the remote control  
units during the learning  
procedure.  
Use new batteries in both remote  
control units.  
Avoid performing the learning  
procedure in places subject to  
direct sunlight, or strong

If you adjust the setting of the air-  
conditioner according to the season,

interfere with the learning  
procedure.)  
The remote control detector area  
may differ depending on each  
remote control unit. If the RM-  
VLZ620 does not learn signals, try  
changing the positions of the two  
remote control units.  
When you teach the signals of an  
interactive signal exchange system  
remote control unit (supplied with  
certain Sonys amplifiers) to the  
RM-VLZ620, the response signal  
of the main unit may interfere  
with the learning of the RM-  
VLZ620. In such a case, move to a  
place where the signals will not  
reach the main unit (e.g., another  
room).  
When the power button on the  
remote control for an air-  
conditioner, etc., toggles between  
power-on and off with each press,  
the power-on/off operation may not  
be learned correctly. In this case,  
teach the power-on/off signals to  
two separate buttons on the  
RM-VLZ620.

Troubleshooting  
If you have problems setting up or using the RM-VLZ620, first check the  
batteries (page 8), then check the items below.  
Symptom  
Remedy  
You cannot operate the  
device.  
Move closer to the device. The maximum operating distance is  
approximately 11 m (36 ft).  
Aim the RM-VLZ620 directly at the device.  
Remove any obstacles in the path between the RM-VLZ620  
and the device.  
Power on the devices first, if necessary.  
Make sure you have pressed the correct Device Select button.  
Check that the device has infrared remote capability. For  
example, if your device did not come with a remote control, it  
probably is not capable of being controlled by the RM-VLZ620.  
You have assigned a different device to the Device Select  
button. Check the device assigned to that button and the  
manufacturer’s code.  
You cannot control the  
volume.  
Your video devices (e.g., DVD player) may be connected to an  
audio system. Change the factory preset of the volume control  
(page 18).

you press a button.  
The SET indicator  
flashes once and turns  
off during setting.  
The manufacturer’s code cannot be set. Refer to the supplied  
“Manufacturer’s Code List” and set the manufacturer’s code  
again (page 13).  
If no operations are performed for 10 seconds while setting, the  
setting will be canceled, and must be restarted from the  
beginning.  
The SET indicator  
flashes once when you  
press any button.  
The Hold function is on. Unlock the Hold function (page 31).  
You cannot operate the  
device even after setting  
the manufacturers code.  
Set the manufacturers code correctly. If the first code that is  
listed does not work, set other codes in the order they are listed  
in the supplied “Manufacturer’s Code List.”  
Some features may not be preset. If some or all of the buttons  
do not function correctly even after you have set the  
manufacturer’s code, then teach the RM-VLZ620 new  
functions by using the original remote control supplied with  
the device (page 20).  
The device may be operated with a manufacturers code that is  
not listed in the “Manufacturer’s Code List.” Set a  
manufacturer’s code again with the search function (page 15).  
When you teach signals of an interactive signal exchange  
system remote control unit (supplied with some of Sony’s  
amplifiers) to the RM-VLZ620, the response signal of the main  
unit may interfere with the learning of the RM-VLZ620. In  
such a case, move to a place where the signals will not reach the  
main unit (e.g., another room, etc.).  
The signals of the  
remote control supplied  
with the device cannot  
be transmitted to the  
RM-VLZ620.

Avoid learning near a plasma TV, or turn off the plasma TV  
while learning.  
When teaching the signals, keep the distance between the RM-  
VLZ620 and the other remote control about 3 – 8 cm (1 – 3  
in.).  
The RM-VLZ620 supports infrared signals only. RF signals or  
two-way communication signals are not supported.  
The batteries are weak. Use new batteries in both remote  
control units.

work properly.  
Change the direction the RM-VLZ620 is aimed. If the problem  
persists, position the programmed devices closer together.  
Remove any obstacles in the path between the RM-VLZ620  
and the devices.  
Position the devices back to the way they were before you set a  
consecutive procedure.  
Some devices may not always be powered on by a consecutive  
procedure. This is because the power of the device turns on  
and off alternately when receiving the power on/off signal. In  
this case, check the operating devices power on/off status  
beforehand.  
If you change the manufacturer’s code or teach a new signal on  
a button that has been programmed for a consecutive  
procedure, the new signal will be transmitted when you press  
the corresponding Device Select button.  
Some devices may not respond to the next signal immediately  
after the power-on signal.  
In this case, you can insert an interval by the following means.  
– Change the button order.  
– Press the same Device Select button again. Each time you  
press the button, you can insert an interval (page 30).  
The button has already learned a function. Clear the learned  
function (page 23).  
Check the status of the device and make sure that you have set  
the device properly to receive signals.

Table of Preset Functions  
The function of the buttons varies  
depending on settings/operating  
modes. The following table (page 37  
through page 45) shows how the  
RM-VLZ620 generally operates for  
each device in the preset mode.  
You can assign another device to any  
of the Device Select buttons except  
TV. Once you set a Device Select  
button to a different type of device,  
the entered manufacturer’s code  
becomes effective. In this case, the  
function of the buttons may be  
different from the following table.  
Notes  
The reference numbers correspond with  
the KEY DISPLAY in the following table.  
There may be some devices or functions  
that cannot be operated with RM-VLZ620.  
To use the original device setting, set the  
manufacturer’s code again (page 12).  
If you enter a new brand’s manufacturer’s  
code without clearing the previous learned  
functions on that Device Select button, the  
previously learned functions remain  
effective. Clear functions you do not use  
frequently.  
When you press the (record) button, be  
careful not to accidentally erase the  
previously recorded contents.
