Advanced Remote Operations

Programming the Remote

The RM-P362 remote included with the TA-VA8ES and TA-VA7ES can control non-Sony components by “learning” the control signals from their remotes. Once this remote learns the other components signals, you can use these components as part of your system. Additionally, if you have any Sony components that fail to operate with this remote, use this programming function. This remote can “learn” signals only from other infrared wireless remotes. Before you program signals, make sure that the two remotes:

Face straight at each other (see Step 3 below)

Are placed at a distance of about 5 cm

Are not moved during programming

1Press the SYSTEM CONTROL/FUNCTION button of the component you want to program. For example, if you want to program a CD player’s remote, press CD.

2Press LEARN to turn on the LEARN indicator.

3Press the button on this unit’s remote that is to “learn” the signal from the other remote.

The LEARN indicator flashes slowly.

Use only the shaded buttons shown above (see “Remote Button Descriptions” on page 27 for the buttons you can use to operate each component).

You cannot use the button you’ve pressed.

4On the other remote, select the function that the amplifer’s remote is to “learn” and hold down its button until the LEARN indicator lights steadily.

5Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to program other buttons. Note that each button can only “learn” one signal from another remote.

6Press LEARN.

After the LEARN indicator turns off, you can control the other component with the programmed buttons.

When you program the recording signal

While holding down the r button on the amplifer’s remote and press the record button on the other remote.

If you cannot successfully program signals, check the following:

If the LEARN indicator does not light up at all, the batteries are weak. Replace both batteries.

If the LEARN indicator does not flash or light up in Step 3 or 4, there is interference. Clear the signal as described in “Clearing the programmed signal” below and program again from the beginning.

The two remotes are placed too far apart. Make sure they are only 5 cm apart.

If you don’t proceed to the following steps within about 1 minute during Steps 2 and 3, the remote automatically exits learning mode. Start again from Step 2.

If the memory in the remote has become full, (If you program signals of Sony components, you can store about 60 signals.) you can program a new signal on a previously programmed button, but the new signal will replace the previously programmed one.

Notes

You cannot turn on programmed components by pressing a SYSTEM CONTROL/FUNCTION button. You have to turn on the component's power switch.

Do not program remote signals of air conditioners or other household appliances.

Clearing the programmed signal

To clear the programmed signals, do the following. The button's functions are reset to the factory-preset.

1Press LEARN to turn on the LEARN indicator.

2While holding down BACKGROUND, hold down the button to be cleared until the LEARN indicator turns off.
