Troubleshooting
If you have problems setting up or using the Remote Commander, first check the batteries (page 6), then
check the items below.
Remedy
• Move closer to the component. The maximum operating distance is
approximately 10 m. (32.8 ft).
• Check that you are aiming the Commander directly at the component,
and that there are no obstructions between the Commander and the
component.
• Power on the components first, if necessary.
• Make sure you have pressed the correct Component Select button. In
case of MD or DAT, make sure the desired component is selected.
• Check that the component has infrared remote capability. For example,
if your component did not come with a remote commander, it probably
is not capable of being controlled by a remote commander.
• You have assigned a different component to the Component Select
button. Check the component assigned to that button and the
component code.
• If your visual components are connected to an audio system, make sure
you have set up the Commander as described in “Controlling the
Volume of Visual Components Connected to an Audio System” (page
19).
• You have assigned another component on the TV or AMP button (page
24). In this case, the volume cannot be controlled when you select
components other than a TV or AMP.
• Batteries are weakened.
Replace them with new ones.
• Set the component code correctly. 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 in the supplied “Component code
numbers.”
• Some features may not be preset. If some or all of the buttons do not
function correctly even after you have set the component codes, then
use the Learning function to programme the remote control signals for
the component (page 12).
• The component may be operated with a code number that is not listed
in the “Component code numbers.” See “Setting a Component Code by
the Search Function” (page 10) and try setting a code number again
with the Search function.
• When you teach signals of an interactive signal exchange system
remote control unit (supplied with some of Sony’s amplifiers) to the
Commander, the response signal of the main unit may interfere with
the learning of the Commander. In such a case, move to a place where
the signals will not reach the main unit (e.g., another room, etc.).
• Make sure that the Remote Commander has “learned” the correct
signals. If not, see “For accurate Learning” (page 14) and try the
Learning procedure again (page 12).
• Learning has not succeeded. See “For accurate Learning” (page 14) and
try the Learning procedure again (page 12).
• There are no available buttons for “learning.” Clear infrequently used
Learned functions (page 16), then carry out learning procedure.
• The component codes cannot be set. See the supplied “Component code
numbers” and try setting the component codes again (page 8).
• A selected Component Select button or another button to be set has any
remote control signals programmed by Learning function (page 12).
Clear the “learned” signals (page 16) or select another button which has
no “learned” signals, and try setting again.

procedure.
A Component Select button flashes five times during

The SET indicator flashes twice during the Learning
procedure.
