WARNING

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause 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. You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this manual could void your authority to operate this equipment.

Notes on Batteries

•Under normal conditions, batteries will last up to six months. If the Commander does not operate properly, the batteries might be worn out. When replacing batteries, replace both of them with new ones.

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

•If you take time to insert the batteries or press the buttons when replacing the batteries, the code numbers will be erased.

•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.

Setting the Code

Step 1: Entering the Code Number

1 Set the slide switch on the Commander to	AV1	CBL
		AV2
the position that correspond to the desired	VCR	TV
component.

2 See the tables in “Component Code numbers,” and find the code

number in double figures for the desired component.

If more than one code number is listed, use the number that’s listed

Changing the Component Type on the AV1 and AV2 Positions of the Slide Switch

On the positions AV1 and AV2 of the slide switch, the functions to operate Sony brand receivers and CD player are preset at the factory (using cord No. 4 and 5 respectively).

When you change the component type on the positions AV1 and AV2

of the slide switch, complete the following procedures:
1	Set the slide switch to the AV1 or AV2	AV1	CBL
			AV2
	position.	VCR	TV
2	Press the SET button with a ball-point pen	SET
	tip etc., and release it.

3Enter one of the codes from the following table, correspond to the component type you’re setting up:

Component type	Code No.
VCR	1
Receiver	4
CD player	5
Tape deck	6
TV	8
Cable box	9

For example, if you’re setting up a CD player, you would press and release 5.

4Press and release the ENTER button to

store the code number in the Commander’s ENTER memory.

Even if you are operating a video or audio component, this feature enables you to control the volume of your TV or receiver without first having to change the Commander’s slide switch to the TV or AV1.

VCR	TV
CBL	TV
TV	TV
AV1	Component whose type is set on the
	AV1 position*.
AV2	Component whose type is set on the
	AV1 position *.

For example, to control the volume for your VCR channels, you don’t need to change the slide switch from VCR to TV.

*On the AV1 position, the receiver is preset at the factory (using code No. 4). The commander controls the receiver’s volume, even if you assign a component which has no volume control itself (e.g. CD player, VCR) on the AV1 position, when the slide switch is set to the AV1 position.

Changing the Factory Preset of the Volume Control

If your video components are connected to an audio system, you probably hear your TV or VCR’s sound from the loudspeakers via your receiver, not from your TV speakers. In this case, you need to change the factory preset so that you can control the volume of your video components without first having to switch to the receiver (factory set on AV1 position). To change the factory preset of the volume control, follow the procedures below.

You can change this either before or after you set up the Commander to

Presetting the Remote Commander

The Commander is preset at the factory to operate Sony brand TVs , VHS VCRs, receivers, and CD players. If you’re using the Commander with a Sony TV, VHS VCR, receiver, and CD player, you won’t need to preset the Commander before you start using it.

To set up the Commander to use with other (non-Sony) manufacturer’s components, you'll need to follow the instructions in this manual to preset the Commander with the correct code number for your

first to complete the steps below.

For example, if you’re setting up a Philips’ VCR, you would use the

code number 13.

If your component isn’t listed, see “Searching for the Correct Code.”

3 Press the SET button with a ball-point pen	SET
tip etc., and release it.

4Enter the component’s code number. For
