When to replace the batteries
Before replacing the batteries, have new ones ready beforehand.
Under normal conditions, batteries will last up to one year. If the
Commander does not operate properly, the batteries might be worn
out. Replace the batteries with new ones.
Notes
• Replace both batteries with new ones.
• Do not take more than 3 minutes to replace the batteries;
otherwise, your code number setting will be erased.
Notes on Batteries
• Do not mix old batteries with new ones, or mix different types of
batteries together.
• 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.
For the customers in the U.S.A.
WARNING
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved in
this manual could void your authority to operate this equipment.
Setting Up the Remote Commander
About Setting up the Commander
The Commander is set up at the factory to operate Sony brand
components. However, even if you are using the Commander with a Sony
component, you may still need to set up the Commander for it, depending
on the component.
To set up the Commander to use with other (non-Sony) manufacturers’
components, or to use with a component that is not preset at the
factory, you will need to follow the instructions in this manual to
preset the Commander with the correct code number for your
component. (See “Component Code Numbers”.)
Note
The Commander can be set up to operate only one component per button –
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 simultaneously
(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 – in the
battery compartment.

2
Searching for the Correct Code
You can find a code number available for a
component that does not have one in
“
Component code numbers.”
Before starting the Search function
Set each component to the following status so
that the Search function works effectively.
TV, DVD Home Theater: Power-on
Other components: Power-off
*
If any of these components are assigned to any
of the Component Select buttons, you can set a
component code using the Search function.
1 Press and hold SET for more than two seconds. The SET indicator
lights up.
2 Press the Component Select button for the desired component.
3 Press CH + (or CH –) and POWER in turn until the component
reacts as follows:
TV, DVD Home Theater: Power-off
Other components: Power-on
Press CH + to go to the next code number.
Press CH – to go back to the previous code number.
The SET indicator flashes once after the numbers have cycled
once.
One cycle means, for example, that the commander has finished
searching for all the component for code numbers allocated to the
component.
4 Press ENTER.
The SET indicator turns off.
If the SET indicator flashes five times before turning off, setup is
incomplete. Start over from Step 3.
If the component does not operate properly, repeat steps 1 to 4 and
search for another code.
If you still cannot get the Commander to work properly, see
“
Troubleshooting.”
Operating a Component
1 Press the button of the desired component on the Commander.
TV
VCR
CBL
DVD
2 Aim the Commander directly at the component.
3 Press the button for the function you want to use.
See “Remote Button Descriptions” for complete descriptions of the
buttons on the Commander.
Notes on Using the Remote Commander
Basically, use this Commander in the same way as the remote
controls supplied with your components.
• Using this Commander will not increase the functions of your
components. The functions of the Commander are limited to the
functions of the components themselves. For example, if your TV
does not have a MUTING function, MUTING on this Commander
will not function with your TV.
• Some functions of a component may not work with this
Commander.
• If your cable box can control volume, be sure to set its volume to a
moderate level. If the volume on the cable box is turned down
completely, you will not be able to adjust your TV’s volume with
the Commander.

Troubleshooting
If you have problems setting up or using the Commander:
• When setting up the Commander, carefully go through the procedures
described in “Startup Guide.” If the code that is listed first for your
component does not work, try all the codes for your component – in the order
in which they are listed. If all the codes fail to work (or if your component is
not listed in this manual), try using the procedures in “Searching for the
Correct Code.”
• Make sure that you are aiming the Commander directly at the component, and
that there are no obstructions between the Commander and the component.
• Make sure the batteries you are using are not worn out, and that they are
inserted correctly.
• Check that the button of the TV, VCR, CBL, or DVD is pressed to choose your
desired component.
• Check that the component has infrared remote capability. For example, if
your component did not come with a remote control, it probably is not
capable of being controlled by the Remote Commander.
• Should any problem persist, reset the Commander to the factory setting by
pressing the POWER, INPUT and VOL – buttons simultaneously.
For the customers in the U.S.A.
