Setting the Component Codes
To use this Remote Commander with a Sony brand component that is already preset at the factory (see the table on the left), you can skip this procedure.
If you are using other brand’s component or if you cannot operate even a Sony brand component, follow this procedure.

| Keep trying until your component operates as follows: |
| • TV, VCR, DVD, or satellite tuner : the power turns off. |
| • TV without a power switch: the Channel + function works. |
Be patient as you do this; it may take up to about 120 tries for a TV, and about 60 tries for VCR, and about 70 tries for satellite tuner, and about 20 tries for DVD, until the correct code number is located.
6When the correct code is found, press the tbutton.7Turn on the component again, and check that the Commander can control the other functions of your component such as channel and volume control.
