Presetting the Remote Commander
The Commander is preset at the factory to operate Sony brand TVs ,
VHS VCRs, DBS tuners, receivers, and CD players (using code No. 01

VHS VCR, Receiver, and CD player, you won't need to preset the
Commander before you start using it.
To set up tfu? Commander to use with other (non-Sony) manufacturer's
components, you’ll need to follow the instructions in this manual to
preset the Commander with the correct code number for your
components.
Note
The Commander can be set up to operate only one component of each
category (VCR, AVI, AV2/CBL, DBS, or TV position of the slide
switch) at a time - unless their code numbers happen to be the same.
For example, you cannot set up the Commander to operate a Sony TV
and a Panasonic TV at the same time (because they use different code
numbers).
