Changing the factory setting of a
function button
If the factory settings of the FUNCTION buttons don’t
match your system components, you can change them.
For example, if you have a VHS VTR and a 8mm VTR,
you can assign the VIDEO 2 button to operate you
8mm VTR. Note that the settings of the LINE, TUNER
and PHONO buttons cannot be changed.
1
Hold down the SYSTEM CONTROL/FUNCTION
button whose function you want to change
(VIDEO 2, for example).
2
Press the corresponding numeric button of the
component you want to assign to the SYSTEM
CONTROL/FUNCTION button (8 = 8mm VTR,
for example).
For the numeric buttons, see the table in
“Operating one component while using another”
on page 9.
Now you can use the VIDEO 2 button to control a
8mm VTR.
To reset the setting to the factory setting
Repeat the above procedure.
Programming the Remote
The RM-PE300 remote included with the SDP-E300 can
control non-Sony components by “learning” the
control signals from their remotes. Once this remote
learns the other components signals, you can use these
components as part of your system. Additionally, if
you have any Sony components that fail to operate
with this remote, use this programming function. This
remote can “learn” signals only from other infrared
wireless remotes. Before you programme signals, make
sure that the two remotes:
• Face straight at each other (see Step 3 below)
• Are placed at a distance of about 2 inches (5 cm)
• Are not moved during programming

processor’s remote is to “learn” and hold down its
button until the LEARN indicator lights steadily.

Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to programme other buttons.
Note that each button can only “learn” one signal
from another remote.
