Executing a Series of Commands

—System Control Functions (continued)

To clear the System Macro of a label

In Step 5 (page 35), while pressing the Label Select button corresponding to the label that you want to erase, press the SCROLL button. (The labels for which the System Macro is programmed stay lit.)

“CLEAR OK” appears and the System Macro is cleared with a beep sound.

The cleared label flashes together with other labels which have no System Macro data.

If the character contents of the label have been changed

To clear the character contents of that label, perform the same procedure above again. The input contents are cleared and the label display returns to the original setting.

When you clear the System Macro overwritten over the SONY OFF label

The overwritten System Macro is cleared when you perform the procedure above and the factory presetting returns to the SONY OFF label.

If the character contents of the SONY OFF label have been changed, the character contents are cleared when you perform the procedure above again. The input contents are cleared and the label display returns to “SONY OFF.”

Note

When you select the label for which the System Macro is programmed, the ‘NG’ sound is heard. If you release the Label Select button then, data is not cleared and the System Macro signal is transmitted.

Notes on System Control Operations

•If the remote control detectors of the components are too far apart, or if something is blocking them, some of the components may not operate consecutively even after you select the System Macro number label.

•If some of the components did not operate correctly because of the above or for any other reason, always set all the components back to the states they were in before you select the System Macro number label. Failure to do this can result in incorrect operation when you select the System Macro number label again.

•Some components may not always be powered on by the System Control function. This is because the power of the component goes on and off alternatively when receiving the power on/off signal. In this case, check the operating component’s power on/off state before using the system control function.
