Remote Commander Operation Installing Batteries
Each button on the remote commander functions in the
same way as those having the same name on the front
panel.
However, the following operations cannot be performed
using the remote commander. Use the front panel controls
instead.
• Turing the power on and off
• Selecting digital(optical/coaxial)/analog input source
• Setting the clock
• Adjusting the recording level and balance
• Adjusting the headphones level
• Setting the timer recording/piayback
• Selecting the record mode (standard or long)
The following operations can be performed only with the
remote commander.
• Activating CD synchronized recording using a Sony CD
player and controlling the CD player
• Locating the desired selection on the Compact Disc or
setting the CD player in the pause mode (possible only
when a Sony CD player is used.)
• Repeat play
• Skip play
• RMS* play
*RMS: Random Music Sensor
Notes on remote control
e Do not expose the remote sensor on the deck to strong
light such as direct sunlight, lighting apparatus, etc.
e Do not place any obstructions between the Remote
Commander and the remote sensor, or else operations will
not be performed correctly.
• The controllable range is limited. Point the Remote
Commander directly at the remote sensor on the deck.
• When remote control operation distance becomes shorter,
the batteries are weak. Replace both batteries with new
ones.
To avoid battery leakage
When the commander will not be used for a long period of
time, remove the batteries to avoid damage caused by
battery leakage and corrosion.
Battery life
About half a year of normal operation can be expected
when using the Sony SUM-3 (NS) batteries.
