Executing a Series of CommandsSystem Control Functions

With the System Control function, you can program a series of operating commands, and execute them simply as follows.

1When the display for component operation appears (if not, press the SET button repeatedly), press the SYSTEM button.

2Select the System Macro

number label by pressing the Label Select button.

For example, when you watch a video, a series of operations like the ones below are necessary.

Example:

1Turn on the TV.

2Turn on the video (VCR1).

3Turn on the amplifier.

4Set the input selector of the amplifier to VIDEO 1.

5Set the input mode of the TV to

VIDEO.

6Start video playback.

You can program up to 32 consecutive operation steps to each of the System Macro labels (SONY OFF, SYSTEM 2-12).

At the factory, the SONY OFF label is preset with a series of the system power-off commands for Sony components. You can overwrite a system macro over this label.

If you have set the System Control function for a component label (page 40), the execution of the programmed commands begins when you press the Label Select button corresponding to the label for more than 2 seconds.

The component macro executing time is variable by changing the setting (page 43).

While executing the programmed commands, at the same time that each remote control signal is transmitted, the corresponding label is displayed.
