Preparing and Using the Remote

•Some IR codes may not have been successfully programed, even if “RELEASE YOUR COMMANDER” appears on the TV screen. In this case, try programing the IR code again. If the IR code still cannot be programed, follow the procedure described in “Programming Other Infrared (IR) Codes (USER IR setting)” on page 22.

•The unit may not be able to record IR codes with special waveforms produced on some remotes.

Notes

•Do not register the same type of component (i.e., an LD player) at several different functions.

•The unit emits an IR signal that cancels the automatic playback function of program sources, such as laser disc and CD players, designed to start playing the moment they are turned on. To activate the auto play feature, set the receiver’s AUTO PLAY function to on.

•Keep the infrared sensor away from fluorescent light or direct sunlight. Otherwise, the IR codes may not be recorded.

•Even if the power cord has been disconnected from the AC power outlet, recorded IR codes will stay in the memory for approximately two weeks. If they disappear, “ALL CLEAR!” will appear on the TV screen the next time you turn on the receiver.

•Do not operate the remote supplied with the STR-DE805G when “PUSH YOUR COMMANDER” appears on the TV screen in step 6. Programing IR codes from the supplied remote may cause the STR-DE805G to malfunction.
