Setting Up the Remote Commander
About Presetting the Commander
The Commander is preset at the factory to operate Sony brand
components.
If you’re using the Commander with a Sony component, you won’t
need to preset the Commander before you start using it.
To set up the Commander to use with other (non-Sony)
manufacturers’ components, or to use with a component that is not
preset at the factory, you’ll need to follow the instructions in this
manual to preset the Commander with the correct code number for
your components. (See “Component code numbers” also).
Notes
• The Commander can be set up to operate only one component per
button – unless their code numbers happen to be the same. For
example, you cannot set up the Commander to operate a Sony TV
and a Panasonic TV simultaneously (because they use different
code numbers).
• You may not be able to operate even a Sony brand component with
the factory presetting. In such a case, follow the procedure in
“Setting the Code.”
Installing the Batteries
Before replacing the batteries, have new ones ready beforehand.
Push open the battery compartment and insert two size AA (R6)
batteries (not supplied).
Be sure to line up the + and – on the batteries with the + and – on the
battery compartment.
12
When to replace the batteries
Under normal conditions, batteries will last up to one year. If the
Commander does not operate properly, the batteries might be worn
out. Replace the batteries with new ones.
Notes
• Replace both batteries with new ones.
• Do not take more than 3 minutes to replace the batteries; otherwise,
your setting of the code numbers will be erased.
Notes on Batteries
• Do not mix old batteries with new ones 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 the electrolyte
from leaking, remove the batteries when you plan not to use the
Commander for a long period of time.
Setting the Code
Follow the steps 1 and 2 below for each component you plan to use
with the Commander.
Step 1: Entering the Code Number
1 See the supplied “Component code
numbers”, and find the four-digit code
number for the desired component.
If more than one code number is listed, use
the number that’s listed first.
For example, if you’re setting up a Sony
TV, you would use the code number 8201.
If your component isn’t listed, see
“Searching for the Correct Code.”
2 Press SET more than two
seconds.
The SET indicator lights up.
3 Press the button of the
component that you want to
set up.
The SET indicator lights up.
4 Press the Number buttons to enter the four-digit
component code number.
5 Press ENT. The SET indicator turns off. If the SET
indicator flashes five times before lighting up, it
means that the setup is incomplete. Confirm the
component code number and start over from Step 4.
If the code setting is not finished properly
If you do not input anything into the Commander within 20 seconds
between each step, or if you press SET while setting the component
code, the setup procedure will be canceled.
Start over from Step 2.
Step 2: Checking if the Code Number Works
1 Power on the component you want to set up.
2 Aim the Remote Commander at the component and press a button
to check if that button works.
For example, press the 1 button to see if it works on your
component .
3 Check that the other buttons of the Commander is operating the
corresponding functions of the component.
You can write down the code number on the label inside the
battery compartment lid.
If the Commander Doesn’t Seem to Be Working...
•First, try repeating these setup procedures using the other codes
listed for your component (see the supplied “Component Code
Numbers”).
•If – after trying all the codes listed for your component – you still
cannot get the Commander to work properly, try the search
method described in “Searching for the Correct Code.”
Searching for the Correct Code
You can find a code number available for a
component that doesn’t have one in
“Component code numbers.”
Before starting the Search function
Set each component to the following status so
that the Search function works effectively.
TV, DVD Home Theater: Power-on
Other components: Power-off
* If any of these components are assigned to any
of the Component Select buttons, you can set a
component code using the Search function.
1 Press SET more than two seconds. The SET indicator lights up.
2 Press the Component Select button for the desired component.
The SET indicator lights up.
3 Press CH + or CH – and 1 in turn until the component reacts as
follows:
TV: Powers off
Other components: Powers on
Press CH + to go to the next code number.
Press CH – to go back to the previous code number.
The SET indicator flashes once after the numbers have turned one
cycle.
One cycle means, for example, that the commander finishes
searching all the component code numbers allocated to the
component.
4 Press ENT.
The SET indicator and the Component button turn off.
If the SET indicator flashes five times before turning off, it means
that the setup is incomplete. Start over from Step 3.
If the component does not operate properly, repeat steps 1 to 4 and
search for another code.
If you still cannot get the Commander to work properly, see
“Troubleshooting.”
Operating a Component
1 Press the button of the desired component on the Commander.
TV CBL/SAT
2 Point the Commander directly at the component.
3 Press the button for the function you want to use.
See “Remote Button Descriptions” for complete descriptions of the
buttons on the Commander.
Notes on Using the Remote Commander
Basically, use this Commander in the same way as the Commanders
supplied with your components.
•Using this Commander will not increase the functions of your
components. The functions of the Commander are limited to the
functions of the components themselves. For example, if your TV
does not have a MUTING function, MUTING on this Commander
will not function with your TV.
•Some functions of the component may not work with this
Commander.
•If your cable box can control volume, be sure to set its volume
switch to a medium position. If the volume on the cable box is
turned down completely, you will not be able to adjust your TV’s
volume with the Commander.

Troubleshooting
If you have problems setting up or using the Commander:
• When setting up the Commander, carefully go through the procedures
described in “Setting the Code.” If the code that’s listed first for your
component doesn’t work, try all the codes for your component - in the order
in which they’re listed. If all the codes fail to work (or if your component is
not listed in this manual), try using the procedures in “Searching for the
Correct Code.”
• Check that you’re aiming the Commander directly at the component, and that
there are no obstructions between the Commander and the component.
• Make sure the batteries you’re using are not worn out, and that they’re
inserted correctly.
• Check that the button of the TV or CBL/SAT is pressed to choose your desired
component.
• 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.
• Should any problem persist, reset the Commander to the factory setting by
pressing the 1, INPUT and VOL– buttons simultaneously.
