Remote Commander settings and operating proceduresAbout the factory setting
The Remote Commander is preset at the factory to operate most Sony brand AV components (see the table below).
If you operate a non-Sony AV component, you need to set the component’s preset code on the Remote Commander first.

How to set up the Remote Commander (On-PC Setup and On-Remote Setup)
There are two ways to make settings for the Remote Commander, “On-PC Setup” with the aid of PC software and “On- Remote Setup” directly on the Remote Commander.
•On-PC Setup (Recommended) “On-PC Setup” uses the supplied software for your PC, “AX Remote Editor” to set up the Remote Commander. By following the wizard, it allows you to easily make all the necessary settings for the Remote Commander (components’ preset codes, etc.,). Furthermore, you can add and customize a range of settings which are not available with On- Remote Setup.
•On-Remote Setup
“On-Remote Setup” is a way of setting up directly with the Remote Commander. However, some advanced settings are not available with On- Remote setup (see the table on page 14).
See “Setting procedure for On-PC Setup” (page 14), or “Setting procedure for On- Remote Setup” (page 15) for each setting method.
IMPORTANT
You cannot use both methods. Once you set up the Remote Commander by either On-PC Setup (recommended) or On- Remote Setup, you cannot make additional settings using the other method. You can only delete the entire setup and start over using the other setup method.
