Introduction

Understanding How the Receiver Works: STR-DE805G

The remote control supplied with the STR-DE805G uses infrared (IR) rays to command the receiver and control the on-screen display.

Since this receiver uses menu operations, you must connect a TV.

On-screen operation

1The remote commander emits an infrared (IR) signal when you press direction control button (1 above).

2This controls the movement of the pointer (hand icon) in the on-screen display (2 above).

3When you move the pointer to an on-screen icon, and press the center of the direction control button, the infrared (IR) repeater transmits the corresponding IR control code to the respective program source (3 above).

If the screen does not appear or the pointer does not move when you press the direction control button

The IR code from the remote is not fully reaching the infrared receptor on the receiver (1 above). Make sure there are no obstacles between the remote and the receiver.

If the program source fails to respond or is slow to respond

The IR control code from the IR repeater is not fully reaching the infrared receptor on the program source. Connect the extra IR repeater (supplied) and position it facing the program source (see “IR Repeater Hookups” on page 9).

If some of the programmed on-screen controls are unresponsive or slow, rerecord the IR codes for those buttons ( see “Registering non-Sony Audio/Video equipment” on page 19).
