Executing a Series of Commands

—System Control Functions (continued)

Programming a series of commands to the SYSTEM CONTROL buttons

Example: To program the procedure above to the SYSTEM CONTROL 2 button

1While pressing COMMANDER OFF, press one of the SYSTEM CONTROL buttons (in this case,

SYSTEM CONTROL 2).

All the component names flash.

If a series of commands is already programmed for that button

That program will be displayed. (At the factory, the SYSTEM CONTROL 1 button is preset with the System Power-Off function for Sony components (the same function as explained in page 34), and the SYSTEM CONTROL 3 button is factory preset with standard power- on command for nearly all Sony components.)

To program a new series of operations, clear the program first (see page 26).

2Press the Component Select buttton for the component to operate.

The keys for the selected component flash.

If the component has the power- on and power-off signals

Both the OFF and ON keys are displayed and you can select either of them to program.

It is useful to set the exact command for power-on or power-off and operate the component regardless of its status (on/off).
