Advanced Remote Operations

This chapter describes how to change the factory setting of the easy scroll key and how to set the remote to control non-Sony components.

Programming the remote

You can program the remote to control non- Sony components. Once the control signals have been memorized, you can use those components as part of your system.

Furthermore, you can also program the remote for Sony components that the remote is unable to control. Note that the remote can only control components that accept infrared wireless control signals.

Note

You cannot program “SOURCE”.

1 Press AV ?/1 while holding down USE

MODE.

The USE MODE button lights and “IR SET” appears in the display.

2 Move the easy scroll key to select the input you want to control, then press the key to enter the selection.

For example, if you are going to control a CD player, select CD/SACD.

You can also select the TV ?/1 button.

3 Press the numeric buttons to enter the numeric code (or one of the codes if more than one code exists) corresponding to the component and the maker of the component you want to control.

See the tables starting from page 10 for information on the numeric code(s) corresponding to the component and the maker of the component. (The first digit and the last two digits of the numeric code correspond to the category and the maker’s code respectively.)

4 Press ENTER.

Once the numeric code has been verified, the USE MODE button slowly flashes

twice and the remote automatically exits the programming mode.

5 Repeat steps 1 to 4 to control other components.

Operations

If programming is unsuccessful,

 

check the following:

 

• If the USE MODE button does not light up in step

 

1, the batteries are weak. Replace both batteries.

 

• If the USE MODE button flashes 4 times in quick

 

succession while entering the numeric code, an error

 

has occurred. Start again from step 1.

 

• In step 1, the remote automatically exits the

 

programming mode if 60 seconds has passed after

 

pressing USE MODE. Start again from step 1.

 

Notes

The USE MODE button turns off while a valid button is pressed.

In step 2, if you press the easy scroll key several times, only the last selected input is valid.

In step 2, if you press TV ?/1, only TV VOL +/–, TV CH +/–, TV/VIDEO and WIDE buttons are reprogrammed.

In step 3, if you press the easy scroll key, the new input is selected and the programming procedure returns to the beginning of step 3.

For the numeric codes, only the first three numbers entered are valid.

To clear the memory of the remote

Press ?/1, AV ?/1 and MASTER VOL – at the same time. The USE MODE button flashes 3 times, then goes off.
