Getting Started Introduction
Understanding How the Receiver Works: STR-DE905G
Before you can use the remote to control the receiver, you must connect the remote control (RC) antenna as shown
below.
Steel beams within walls and other metallic objects may interfere with signal reception by the RC antenna. To
prevent this, keep the RC antenna at least 50 cm away from all metallic objects.
Since this receiver uses menu operations, you must connect a TV.
On-screen operation
1
The remote commander emits a constant radio frequency (RF) signal that conveys any movement of the remote
commander to the receiver via the RC antenna (1 above).
2
This controls the movement of the pointer (hand icon) in the on-screen display (2 above).
3
When you move the pointer to an on-screen icon, and press the button on the remote, the infrared (IR) repeater
transmits the corresponding IR control code to the respective program source (3 above).
If the screen flickers or the pointer does not move
The RF signal from the remote is being obstructed and is not reaching the RC antenna (1 above). Reposition the RC antenna or
bring the remote commander closer to the RC antenna.
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).
