Getting Started
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.

the RM-VLZ620 new functions by
using the original remote control
supplied with the device.
You can teach a function to all the
buttons (except SET) for any device
mode.
To teach the Device Select or
SYSTEM CONTROL buttons, see
page 24.
You may find it useful to write down
the functions you have taught.

Notes
Use new batteries in both remote control
units.
Certain remote control signals may not be
learned.
If the function has already been learned, it
will be overwritten with the new one.
You cannot teach a number button to
which you have already assigned a channel
(page 27).
You can also teach the signals of a
computer’s remote control (including a
built-in tuner type) to control the monitor.
If you do not perform learning steps for 10

The SET indicator turns off.
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

direct sunlight, or strong
To teach an air-conditioner’s
functions

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 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).
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.

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 devices to direct
sunlight or other strong
illumination. Too much light
there can interfere with remote
control operations.
Place the remote control out of the
reach of small children or pets.
Devices 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 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

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 manufacturer’s code.
Set the manufacturer’s 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 manufacturer’s 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.

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 device’s 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.
