Programirimg the Remote Control
After programming
Be sure to test that the component really works with the
programmed signals.
How many signals can you store in memory?
You can store approximately 60 signals, depending on the
format of the signal being used.
Memory capacity
If the LEARN indicator does not blink or light in step 3-(i) or
(D, this indicates that the memory capacity is full. In this
case, clear the signal stored in that button following the
procedure described in "To clear a programmed signal" and
program again from the beginning. When programming,
avoid the following conditions.
• Placing the remotes too far apart from each other.
• Exposing the remotes to intense light such as of invertor
fluorescent lamp.
• Receiving infrared signals of another appliance's remote.
Notes on programming
• Remote control signals of components of manufacturers
other than Sony can be programmed only when they are
compatible with the infrared wireless remote control
system. Since the programmable remote can "learn" only
the signals output from another remote, it cannot control
components that do not use a remote.
• Do not attempt to use the programmable remote with an
air conditioner or other household appliance.
• Note that there are some special remote control signals
that cannot be programmed.
• The SYSTEM CONTROL/FUNCTION button of this
remote does not work for thex)ther components even if
their signals are programmed.
Programming a New Signal onto a Previously
Programmed Button
Follow the programming procedure described on page 27.
The previously programmed signal is cleared and replaced
by the new signal.
To clear a programmed signal
1 Press the LEARN button with a bail-point pen, etc., so that
the LEARN indicator lights up.
2 Press the button to be cleared while pressing the
BACKGROUND button until the LEARN indicator goes
off.
To program a signal onto the • button for
recording
It is not possible to operate any component with only the #
button. You have to program the record standby signal and
record start signal under the 0 + ► button on the receiver's
remote. With a tape deck, you can also program the signal
under the • + button (in the reverse direction).
Notes on batteries
If the LEARN indicator does not light when a button is
pressed, this means that the batteries are low.
When the batteries are low, the remote can no longer operate
the unit and programming becomes impossible.
If this happens, replace both batteries with new ones. We
recommend you use alkaline batteries for extended use.
