For example, to control the volume for your VCR channels, you don’t
need to change the slide switch from VCR to TV.
* On the AV1 position, the receiver is preset at the factory (using code
No. 4). The commander controls the receiver’s volume, even if you
assign a component which has no volume control itself (e.g. CD
player, VCR) on the AV1 position, when the slide switch is set to the
AV1 position.
Changing the Factory Preset of the Volume Control
If your video components are connected to an audio system, you
probably hear your TV or VCR’s sound from the loudspeakers via your
receiver, not from your TV speakers. In this case, you need to change
the factory preset so that you can control the volume of your video
components without first having to switch to the receiver (factory set
on AV1 position). To change the factory preset of the volume control,
follow the procedures below.
You can change this either before or after you set up the Commander to
work with your component.
1 Set the slide switch to the position that you
want to set up.
2 Press the SET button with a ball-point pen
tip etc., and release it.
3 aTo control the component’s sound from
the loudspeakers via your receiver which
is assigned to AV1, press the VOL- button.
bTo control the component’s sound from
the loudspeakers via your receiver which
is assigned to AV2, press the MUTING
button.
cTo control the component’s sound from
the TV speakers, press the VOL+ button.
4 Press and release the ENTER button to
store your setting in the Commander’s
memory.
5 If you haven’t already done so, finish setting up the component by
completing the procedures in “Step 1: Entering the Code Number”.
Using the Remote Commander

Notes on Using the Remote Commander
• Using the Commander will not increase the functions of your TV or
other components. The functions of the Commander are limited to
the functions of the TV or other components. For example, if your TV
doesn’t have a MUTE function,. the MUTE button on the Commander
will not function with your TV.
• Using the LIGHT function frequently of the Commander will shorten
the battery life.

Setting Up the Remote Commander
Before you can start using the Commander, you must first set it up.
This manual describes everything you need to know to set up the
Commander, including:
• Installing the batteries.
• Presetting the Commander with the codes for your TV, VCR, Cable
box, and other audio components.
Presetting the Remote Commander
The Commander is preset at the factory to operate Sony brand TVs ,
VHS VCRs, receivers, and CD players. If you’re using the Commander
with a Sony TV, VHS VCR, receiver, and CD player, you won’t need to
preset the Commander before you start using it.
To set up the 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, AV1, AV2, CBL, 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).
Installing the Batteries
Slide open the battery compartment and insert two size AA (R6)
batteries (not supplied).
Be sure to line up the + and – on the batteries with the + and – on the
battery compartment.
3-858-409-12(1)
Notes on Batteries
• Under normal conditions, batteries will last up to six months. If the
Commander does not operate properly, the batteries might be worn
out. When replacing batteries, replace both of them with new ones.
• Do not mix old batteries with new ones or mix different types of
batteries together.
• If you take time to insert the batteries or press the buttons when
replacing the batteries, the code numbers will be erased.
• If the electrolyte inside the battery should leak, wipe the
contaminated area of the battery compartment with a cloth and
replace the old batteries with new ones. To prevent the electrolyte
from leaking, remove the batteries when you plan not to use the
Commander for a long period of time.
Setting the Code
Step 1: Entering the Code Number
1 Set the slide switch on the Commander to
the position that correspond to the desired
component.
2 See the tables in “Component Code numbers,” and find the code
number in double figures for the desired component.
If more than one code number is listed, use the number that’s listed
first to complete the steps below.
For example, if you’re setting up a Philips’ VCR, you would use the
code number 13.
If your component isn’t listed, see “Searching for the Correct Code.”
3 Press the SET button with a ball-point pen
tip etc., and release it.
4 Enter the component’s code number. For
example, if you’re entering the code for a
Philips’ VCR, you would press and release
1, then press and release 3.
5 Press and release the ENTER button to
store the code number in the Commander’s
memory.
6 Go to “Step 2: Checking if the Code Number Works” to finish setting
up.
Step 2: Checking if the Code Number Works
1 Power on the component you want to set up with its power switch.
2 Aim the commander at the component and
press the POWER button.
The component should power off.
3 When the component powers off, check
that the commander is operating the other
functions of your component, such as
channel and volume control.
If the Commander Doesn’t Seem to Be Working...
• First, try repeating these setup procedures using the other codes
listed for your component (see “Component Code Numbers”).
• If - after trying all the codes listed for your component - you still
cannot get the Commander to work properly, try the search method
described in “Searching for the Correct Code”

hear the sound of your video components from your TV's speakers,
and that you hear the sound of your audio components from the
loudspeakers via your receiver (or amplifier).

enables you to control the volume of your TV or receiver without first

To finish setting up the component, go to “Step 1: Entering the Code
Number” and complete the procedures that are described.
Searching for the Correct Code
If you’ve tried all the code numbers listed for your component and you
still cannot get the Commander to work (or if your component is not
listed in this manual), try these steps.
1 Power on the component you want to set
up with its power switch. Then set the
slide switch on the commander to the
position that corresponds to the
component.
2 Press the SET button with a ball-point pen
tip etc., and release it.
3 Press and release the CH+ button. Then
press and release the POWER button.
4 Repeat step 3 until your component powers off.
Pressing the CH+ and POWER buttons repeatedly will try every
available code until the correct one is found. It may take up to about 50
to 60 tries until the correct code number is located.
5 When the component powers off, press and
release the ENTER button to store the code
number in the Commander’s memory.
6 Check that the Commander is operating
the other functions of your component.
Turn on the component again; then press
the CH and VOL buttons. If the
Commander seems to be working
properly, you have completed setting up
the Commander.
If the component does not operate properly, repeat steps 2 and 5 and
search for another code. As the searching always start from 01, it will
stop again at the same code as the last searching. Pass the code and
continue searching until the next code which the component turns off.
If you still cannot get the Commander to work properly, see
“Troubleshooting.”
