Advanced Remote Operations

Programming the Remote

The remote can control non-Sony components by “learning” the control signals from their remotes. Once this remote learns the other components signals, you can use these components as part of your system. Additionally, if you have any Sony components that fail to operate with this remote, use this programming function. This remote can “learn” signals only from other infrared wireless remotes. Before you programme signals, make sure that the two remotes:

Face straight at each other (see Step 3 below)

Are placed at a distance of about 5 cm

Are not moved during programming

1Press the SYSTEM CONTROL/FUNCTION button of the component you want to programme. For example, if you want to programme a CD player’s remote, press CD.

2Press LEARN to turn on the LEARN indicator.

3Press the button on this unit’s remote that is to “learn” the signal from the other remote.

The LEARN indicator flashes slowly.

Use only the shaded buttons shown above (see “Remote Button Descriptions” on page 21 for the buttons you can use to operate each component).

You cannot use the button you’ve pressed.

4On the other remote, select the function that the amplifier’s remote is to “learn” and hold down its button until the LEARN indicator lights steadily.

5Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to programme other buttons. Note that each button can only “learn” one signal from another remote.

6Press LEARN.

After the LEARN indicator turns off, you can control the other component with the programmed buttons.

When you programme the recording signal

While holding down the r button on the amplifier’s remote and press the record button on the other remote.

If you cannot successfully programme signals, check the following:

If the LEARN indicator does not light up at all, the batteries are weak. Replace both batteries.

If the LEARN indicator does not flash or light up in Step 3 or 4, there is interference. Clear the signal as described in “Clearing the programmed signal” below and programme again from the beginning.

The two remotes are placed too far apart. Make sure they are only 5 cm apart.

If you don’t proceed to the following steps within about 1 minute during Steps 2 and 3, the remote automatically exits learning mode. Start again from Step 2.

If the memory in the remote has become full, (If you programme signals of Sony components, you can store about 60 signals.) you can programme a new signal on a previously programmed button, but the new signal will replace the previously programmed one.

Notes

You cannot turn on programmed components by pressing a SYSTEM CONTROL/FUNCTION button. You have to turn on the component's power switch.

Do not programme remote signals of air conditioners or other household appliances.
