Operating the Remote
Commander
There are two ways to operate the
components on the Remote Commander.
• XPRESS operation: You can operate
multiple AV components related to a
specific task, such as “watching a
DVD,” or “watching a digital satellite,”
etc. This is called an “XPRESS
function.”
• Single component operation: You can
operate each AV component
individually (page 27).
What is the XPRESS
function?
An “XPRESS function” is an executable
series of actions that can operate several
AV components by pressing just one key.
For example, you have to perform the
following operations sequentially to
watch a DVD using a TV, receiver/
amplifier, and DVD player.
1. Turn on the DVD player.
2. Turn on the TV.
3. Set the appropriate input mode of
the TV.
4. Turn on the receiver/amplifier.
5. Set the appropriate input selector of
the receiver/amplifier.
6. Start DVD playback.
By setting the above actions as an
XPRESS function, you can watch a DVD
by simply pressing one key.

Also, the XPRESS function can memorize
the status of power on/off, input selector
for each component, and send a signal to
synchronize the status which you want
without reference to the component's
status.
Some XPRESS functions are preset at the
factory to operate Sony brand
components (see the table below).
However, depending on the factory
preset code, they may not necessarily be
effective.
