your device (or one that does  
everything you want it to do)?  
Use the EZ-RC™ Remote Control Setup  
Wizard! The setup wizard lets you enter  
your device’s model number to find  
exactly the right code for your device.  
If your device turns off, try several other keys on  
your remote to make sure this code gives you all the  
functionality you want for this device. For example, if  
you’re testing a code for your DVD player, you definitely  
want the transport keys to work (play, stop, fast forward,  
etc.). So you should test at least these keys for a DVD  
player.

If you find a code that does most of what  
you want to do with a device, you can

remote through the remote’s Settings

Tips for setting up devices  
• Always point the remote directly at the  
device you’re trying to control.  
Once you’ve found a code that works for your device, the  
remote asks if you want to add another device. Press Yes  
to add another device (or press No if you’re done for now).  
Sony

Add another device?  
• It may take a few seconds for your device  
to respond to a command (especially on or  
off). Be patient between presses—give your  
device a few seconds to respond.  
No  
Yes  
• Some brands of devices do not use a POWER  
key to turn the device on or off. Instead they  
use separate POWER ON and POWER OFF  
keys. Check your devices’ original remotes  
to see if any of them have these separate  
power keys. If they do, use other keys  
(volume, channel, or number keys) to test  
codes in this step.  
Set master volume (for devices with audio control)  
If you’ve set up an audio receiver, the remote asks you  
if you want to set a device as the Master Volume control  
once you’ve finished setting up devices on your remote.  
Do you want to set  
your volume to  
control one device  
(e.g. your amp or TV)  
at all times?  
You should answer Yes only if you always change volume  
using the same device for all your devices.  
No  
Yes

If you sometimes use other devices to change volume, answer No in this  
screen—you’ll have a chance to set up master volume for specific activities (like  
when you’re watching a movie) later.  
How to see what you’ve set up

If you’re not sure what devices you’ve  
already added to the remote, press the

Set up your first activities  
Activities give you one-touch control over your entire home theater...watch movies, your favorite TV shows, listen to  
music, all with the touch of a button. This chapter gets you started. This is how it works:  
• a Hello activity turns on all your home theater devices automatically when you’re ready to start enjoying them  
• customized activities to Watch Movies, Watch Satellite or Cable, Listen to Music, etc. let you switch seamlessly  
between your favorite TV shows and DVDs  
• when you’re finished enjoying your home theater, a Good Night activity turns everything off for you  
Setting up the Hello activity (all on)  
The Hello activity is a very important first step to get the most from activities on your Xsight™ Touch. Different devices  
require different amounts of time to warm up before they can be used, which can interfere with the functioning of multi-  
step activities like Watch Movie, which you’ll set up later in this section. The Hello activity makes sure everything is on  
and ready for action when you want to use it.

How to make this remote all yours  
The Xsight™ Touch has powerful customization tools to make this remote truly your own. Favorites gives you access to  
your Favorite Channels and settings for the whole family. You can choose up to 72 favorite channels. Profiles lets you  
group your favorite channels and remote settings for each family member or type of programming.  
To use Favorites and Profiles, first build your list of favorite channels for the entire family—this list includes everything:  
all of Mom’s favorites, all of Dad’s...anything you plan to include in your profiles. Then you can choose from this list to  
create the individual profiles. But remember: a channel must be in your favorites in order to be in a profile.  
Creating your family favorites  
The first step is creating a list of favorite channels for the  
entire family. Once you’ve created this list, you can create  
lists for separate profiles.  
If you’re not already signed in:  
1. Double-click the EZ-RC™ Remote Control Setup Wizard icon on  
your PC desktop and sign in.  
2. Connect your remote and click Continue.  
3. Select Edit an existing setup you’ve saved here before and click

The next screen shows you the steps you’ll complete to set up your favorites.  
Press Next to continue.  
Set the device you use to change channels  
If you subscribe to a satellite programming service, for example, you probably  
use your satellite box to change channels, not your TV. Choose the option that  
works for your home theater, then click Next.  
Note: The Favorites feature works with a single source, like your cable box or satellite receiver.  
It will not work with a second source (for example, a satellite receiver and over-the-air  
programming on your TV).  
Set how many digits your channels have  
For example, if your channels go up to 999, then you should select 3 digits. If  
the channels go to up to 99, you should select 2 digits. Choose the option that  
works for your home theater, then click Next.  
Note: If you plan to include digital sub-channels in your Favorites list (like 59.1), choose 4 digits.  
Then choose Enter or Select/OK in the screen that follows if your system supports either of  
these options.  
Set how you finish entering a channel number  
Next you tell the setup wizard if you usually press Enter or OK on your remote  
to enter a channel. Choose the option that works for your home theater, then

When you’ve added all the channels you want for this profile, click the Next  
button. The setup wizard takes a few moments to prepare the next screen.

In the final step in creating this profile, you set what different groups of keys  
control by default when you’re using this profile.  
This is useful, for example, if the person using this profile prefers to use the  
surround sound system when watching TV—or if the person using this profile  
should not use the surround sound system! Once you’ve set up the keys on this  
screen, you won’t need to switch device modes to control the volume, channels,  
etc.—no matter which device you’re controlling with the other keys, the remote  
will automatically change volume on the device you select here.  
You can set the following options:  
LCD screen (soft keys)  
Volume keys  
Menu navigation keys  
Channel keys  
TeleText (color) keys  
Number keys  
Playback keys  
Input keys  
To change an option from the one shown, highlight the option you’d like to  
change, then choose the device you want these keys to control from the drop-  
down list.  
When you’ve finished setting what device you’d like the keys of each part of the  
remote to control, click the Next button to proceed.  
That’s it! You’ve finished setting up this profile.  
If you want to set up another profile (for someone else in the family, for  
example), click Yes. If you just want to just stick with this profile for now, click  
No.

Troubleshooting  
Most common problems with your Xsight™ Touch can be resolved by trying one of the following solutions. If you have  
any further questions, please call our help line toll-free at 1-800-276-0509.  
I can’t find a code that works my device (or one that does everything  
I want it to do).  
Make sure you’re pointing the remote directly at the device you’re trying  
to control.  
Initial setup  
My remote doesn’t come on automatically when I pick it up.  
Press the OK key to wake the remote up. Once you’ve completed the initial  
setup, you can change the Tilt setting by accessing Settings from the home  
screen and Tilt from the Settings menu. If this setting is off, turn it on.  
It may take a few seconds for your device to respond to a command  
(especially on or off). Be patient between presses—give your device a few  
seconds to respond.  
The screens are in the wrong language.  
Some brands of devices do not use a POWER key to turn the device  
on or off. Instead they use separate POWER ON and POWER OFF keys.  
Check your devices’ original remotes to see if any of them have these  
separate power keys. If they do, use other keys (volume, channel, or  
number keys) to test codes in this step.  
Change the setting by pressing the  
or more screens in the setup routine.

On-remote device setup  
How do I access on-remote device setup?  
If you quit setup after setting the time, you can access device setup  
through the Setup menu on the remote. In the Home screen, choose  
Setup (it’s on the second page of the Home screen—use the slider bar  
to access it). Then press Device Setup and Add Device. Then follow the  
rest of the instructions in the Out of the box section.  
If the above solutions don’t work completely, use the EZ-RC™ Remote  
Control Setup Wizard. The setup wizard lets you enter your device’s  
model number to find exactly the right code for your device. If you find a  
code that does most of what you want to do with a device, you can learn  
additional keys from your original remote through the remote’s Settings  
menu (see the remote’s user manual for instructions).  
How can I go back if I make a mistake?  
I don’t see my device in the “What is it” screen.

Troubleshooting

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Windows XP users must have Service Pack 3 and .Net 3.5  
I get an error message after I connect my remote.  
You might need to change your Active X settings in Internet Explorer for  
the EZ-RC™ Remote Control Setup Wizard to work.  
To nd out what service pack version you have:  
1. Right click on My Computer on your PC desktop.  
2. Choose Properties from the drop-down menu.  
3. In the General Tab, the Service Pack is listed under System.  
To change Active X settings:  
1. Click OK in the “Missing necessary software...” dialog box.  
2. Locate the yellow warning bar just above the AR remote control setup  
wizard page.  
3. Click where it says “click here” on the yellow warning bar to change  
the Active X setting.  
To update to SP3:  
1. Insert the CD that came with the remote. The CD goes automatically  
to Microsoft update site if you have a working internet connection.  
2. At the Microsoft website, click Express to begin the updating  
process. The Microsoft site checks your computer (this takes about  
5-10 minutes).  
3. The Microsoft site will tell you which updates you need to install.  
Follow the Microsoft site and installation wizard instructions to  
download and install updates.  
4. Click the Connect button again at the bottom of the screen.  
Setting Up Activities  
I want to add a key command to my Watch Movie/Satellite/Cable  
activity, but I don’t see it in the list of commands.  
If you have SP1, this will take 1 hour to update to SP2; an additional  
30 mins for SP3 (depending on connection speed)  
Make sure you’ve selected the correct device from the drop-down menu.  
Double check your original remote and make sure you’ve written down  
the key name correctly.  
If you have SP2, this will take 30 mins for SP3 (depending on  
connection speed)  
If you haven’t entered model number information for this device in the  
EZ-RC™ Remote Control Setup Wizard, go to the Main menu, select  
Devices and Modify Device. Then enter the model number for this  
device to get all the functionality available.  
4. Close all internet browser windows and continue with EZ-RC install.  
What if my CD doesn’t start installation automatically?  
Open the CD and double-click on the Wiz2 icon.  
If you still don’t see the key command you’re looking for, you can have  
the Xsight™ Touch learn this key from your original remote. See page 28  
for more information.  
If you have Windows XP and need Service Pack 3, see the Important  
Note for Windows XP users on the previous page (Vista users do not  
need this kind of update).  
I’ve set up Activities on my PC, but I can’t access them on my remote.  
You must download any changes you’ve made to your settings in the EZ-  
RC™ Remote Control Setup Wizard to the remote. Go to the main menu  
and click Download to Remote to save your settings to the remote itself.  
Otherwise, the work you’ve done will not be saved to your remote. See  
page 34 for more information.  
The EZ-RC™ program seems slow.  
Proxy servers, like those used in many business networks, may affect  
the performance of the EZ-RC™ Remote Control Setup Wizard. For best  
results, use the EZ-RC™ Remote Control Setup Wizard with a direct  
internet connection (for example, your home connection).  
How do I know the remote’s connected?  
Look for the green arrow icon in your PC’s status bar.  
Using Activities  
How do I know when an activity has finished?  
When you see the Assist key and soft keys for one of your devices  
on the remote screen, the remote has finished sending the activity’s  
commands and is ready to do something else.  
I see a progress bar in the corner of the screen when I connect the  
remote.  
Your remote’s firmware is being updated. Don’t disconnect the remote!  
The Xsight™ Touch is constantly being updated and improved, to get the  
latest codes and provide the most advanced functionality available.

My Hello activity didn’t work.  
Using Favorites and Profiles  
On the remote screen, press Assist. Then press Power On/Off. Press  
the key for each device to turn that device on. Use the slider to access  
more devices.  
I can’t find a channel I want to add to my Favorites.  
You can add it manually by choosing Other at the top of the list. You can  
then choose to display this channel by a text label or search the EZ-RC™  
Remote Control Setup Wizard library for a channel icon. To use an icon  
from the library (or to choose your own), select Show Channel Icon,  
then click the button.  
Make sure your remote is pointed directly at your home entertainment  
devices and that there’s nothing obstructing the path.  
If the Power On/Off command in the Assist screen still doesn’t turn  
your device on, you might be using the wrong command to power on  
this device. Reconnect to the EZ-RC™ Remote Control Setup Wizard and  
choose Activities, Modify Activity. Then choose the Hello activity and  
check the power on/off commands. See page 16 for more information.  
Scroll through the icons available in the collection and highlight the logo  
you want. If you don’t see the icon you want, you can add your own by  
clicking the Browse button and finding the artwork for the icon on your  
PC. Press OK when you’ve selected the icon you want.  
Make sure all your devices are off before you start the Hello activity.  
The channel icon appears in the replica of the remote screen. Continue with  
the instructions that follow to add the channel number for this channel.  
My Watch Movie/Satellite/Cable activity didn’t work.  
On the remote screen, press Assist. Then press No Sound or No  
Picture. Finally, press the on-screen input button until you see or hear  
the correct signal.  
I can’t find a channel I want to add to my Profile.  
Only the channels you’ve chosen as your favorites can be selected for a  
profile. If you want to add a channel for your profile that you don’t see  
here, add it to your favorites by choosing Favorites, and then Modify  
Favorites in the EZ-RC™ Remote Control Setup Wizard Main Menu and  
following the on-screen instructions for adding channels.  
The wrong device is changing inputs in the Assist screens.  
Make sure the input key you see on the No Sound/No Picture screen is  
the correct one for the device you’re trying to change. If it isn’t, press  
the  
key and try the other Assist option (for example, No Sound if you  
How do I customize my Profile’s picture?  
chose No Picture first)  
In the second Add Profile screen (where you can change the name of the  
Profile), click the Profile’s icon and browse your PC for the picture you  
want to use.  
If that option is still changing inputs on the wrong device, connect the remote  
to your PC and launch the EZ-RC™ Remote Control Setup Wizard. In the  
main menu, choose Activities, Modify an Activity, the activity you want to  
modify, and Key Command Sequence. In the Key Command Sequence, check  
that you’ve chosen the correct input commands for each device.  
How do I start a second page of favorite channels?  
When you’ve filled up a page, click the + icon below the replica remote  
screen to add another page. Then click the first space in that page to  
start filling it with channels.  
The device is going to the wrong input or not changing inputs at all  
in the Assist screens.  
I can’t tune to one or more of my favorite channels.  
Make sure all your favorite channels are on a single source, like your cable  
box or satellite receiver. Favorites won’t work with a second source (for  
example, a satellite receiver and over-the-air programming on your TV).  
Make sure the input key you see on the No Sound/No Picture screen matches  
the device input you’re trying to access. If it doesn’t, you’ll need to change to  
the correct command in the EZ-RC™ Remote Control Setup Wizard.  
If you have digital sub-channels in your Favorites list (like 59.1), choose 4  
digits in the Favorites setup. See page 38 for more information.  
Make sure the settings for Favorites match the way you tune to channels  
in your system. See page 38 for more information.  
Connect the remote to your PC and launch the EZ-RC™ Remote Control  
Setup Wizard. In the main menu, choose Activities, Modify an Activity,  
the activity you want to modify, and Key Command Sequence. In the  
Key Command Sequence, check that you’ve chosen the correct input  
commands for each device.  
Make sure the channel numbers you entered for your favorite channels  
are accurate for your system.
