Executing a Series of Commands

—System Control Functions (continued)

About the order of operation steps

•Some of the components may not accept consecutive remote control signals. For example, a TV generally does not react to next signal right after the Power-on signal. So, a series of commands such as TV Power- on and input select may not work properly. In this case, insert other signals like the example below;

TV Power-on t VCR Power-on

t VCR play back t TV input select

•After the series of input commands is executed, the Commander displays the touch-keys of the component of the final step. By programming an often-used component’s command as the final step, you can save the step of pressing a Component Select button when you start operating that component. (In the example on page 24, the touch-keys of VCR1 are displayed.)

To clear programmed commands

1While pressing COMMANDER OFF, press one of the SYSTEM CONTROL 1, 2, or 3 button.

The key operations programmed for that button are displayed in order.

2While pressing the RESET key, press the same SYSTEM CONTROL button (1, 2, or 3) again.

When the contents of its program are cleared, all the component names flash.

When you want to set a new program to this SYSTEM CONTROL button, follow Steps 2 to 5 on pages 24 and 25.

To set the SYSTEM CONTROL 1 or 3 button back to the factory setting

At the factory, the SYSTEM CONTROL 1 button is preset with a series of power-off commands for Sony components and the SYSTEM CONTROL 3 button with a series of power-on commands for Sony components. To reset them to the factory settings, follow the steps below.
