harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from

that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

When to replace the batteries

Under normal conditions, batteries will last up to one year. If the Commander does not operate properly, the batteries might be worn out. Replace the batteries with new ones.

4Press the Number buttons to enter the four-digit component code number.

5 Press ENTER. The SET indicator turns off. If the SET ENTER

indicator flashes five times before lighting up, it means that the setup is incomplete. Confirm the component code number and start over from Step 4.

If the code setting is not finished properly

If you do not input anything into the Commander within 20 seconds between each step, or if you press SET while setting the component code, the setup procedure will be canceled.

Press CH – to go back to the previous code number.

The SET indicator flashes once after the numbers have turned one

cycle.

One cycle means, for example, that the commander finishes

searching all the component code numbers allocated to the

component.

4 Press ENTER.

The SET indicator and the Component button turn off.

If the SET indicator flashes five times before turning off, it means

that the setup is incomplete. Start over from Step 3.

About tactile dots

The number 5 button, the N button and CH+ each have a tactile dot for convenient use.

Note on the VOL+/- and MUTING buttons

Setting Up the Remote Commander

About Presetting the Commander

The Commander is preset at the factory to operate Sony brand components.

If you’re using the Commander with a Sony component, you won’t need to preset the Commander before you start using it.

To set up the Commander to use with other (non-Sony) manufacturers’ components, or to use with a component that is not preset at the factory, you’ll need to follow the instructions in this manual to preset the Commander with the correct code number for your components. (See the supplied “Component Code Numbers” also).

Component that can be preset	Button	Factory setting
TV	TV	Sony TV
VCR/Cable box/Digital satellite	VCR	Sony VHS VCR
receiver/DVD/TV/Digital video

Notes on Batteries

•Do not mix old batteries with new ones or mix different types of batteries together.

•If the electrolyte inside the battery should leak, wipe the contaminated area of the battery compartment with a cloth and replace the old batteries with new ones. To prevent the electrolyte from leaking, remove the batteries when you plan not to use the Commander for a long period of time.

2	Aim the Remote Commander at the component and press a button
	to check if that button works.
	For example, press the POWER button to see if it works on your
	component .
3	Check that the other buttons of the Commander is operating the
	corresponding functions of the component.

You can write down the code number on the label inside the battery compartment lid.

If the Commander Doesn’t Seem to Be Working...

•First, try repeating these setup procedures using the other codes listed for your component (see the supplied “Component Code Numbers”).

•If – after trying all the codes listed for your component – you still cannot get the Commander to work properly, try the search method described in “Searching for the Correct Code.”

Operating a Component

1Press the button of the desired component on the Commander.

Troubleshooting

If you have problems setting up or using the Commander:

• When setting up the Commander, carefully go through the procedures

described in “Setting the Code.” If the code that’s listed first for your

component doesn’t work, try all the codes for your component - in the order

in which they’re listed. If all the codes fail to work (or if your component is

not listed in this manual), try using the procedures in “Searching for the

Correct Code.”

• Check that you’re aiming the Commander directly at the component, and that

there are no obstructions between the Commander and the component.

• Make sure the batteries you’re using are not worn out, and that they’re

inserted correctly.

• Check that the button of the TV, VCR, CBL, or DVD is pressed to choose your

desired component.

• Check that the component has infrared remote capability. For example, if

your component didn’t come with a remote commander, it probably isn’t

capable of being controlled by a remote commander.

Notes

•The Commander can be set up to operate only one component per button – unless their code numbers happen to be the same. For example, you cannot set up the Commander to operate a Sony TV and a Panasonic TV simultaneously (because they use different code numbers).

•You may not be able to operate even a Sony brand component with the factory presetting. In such a case, follow the procedure in “Setting the Code.”

• Some functions of the component may not work with this

Commander.

• If your cable box can control volume, be sure to set its volume

switch to a medium position. If the volume on the cable box is

turned down completely, you will not be able to adjust your TV’s

volume with the Commander.
