Charging the internal rechargeable battery with the
Solar Cells
This Commander is equipped with a solar cell that charges the
internal rechargeable battery if you keep the Commander in a well-
lighted place such as by a window.
Therefore, you will not need to replace the battery.
Notes
• Be sure to keep the Commander with the front facing upward and
in a well-lighted place. If you keep the Commander placed upside
down or in a dark place for an extended period of tinrv%;the internal
rechargeable battery will not be charged. If you continue using it
without charging, the rechargeable battery will be completely
discharged.
• When the rechargeable battery becomes discharged, the operating
range of the Commander becomes narrower. Be sure to charge the
battery periodically by placing the Commander in a place such as
by a window that lets in sufficient light.
• Do not place the Commander in a place subject to direct sunlight.
Setting the Code
Follow the steps 1 and 2 below for each component you plan to use
with the Commander.
Step 1: Entering the Code Number
1 See the supplied "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."

2 Set the VISUAL/AUDIO selector to VISUAL
(to set up on the TV, CABLE, AV1/DBS or VCR
position) or AUDIO (to set up on the AMP,
TAPE, AV2 or CD position).

desired component. • v ^" 1 '—' l_^_ J
Note
On each of the CABLE, AV1/DBS, AMP, TAPE, AV2, and CD
positions, components are assigneciat the factory as shown in the
table in "Setting Up the Remote Commander."
But you can also assign other components on these positions. For
details, see "Changing the Component Type of the Positions."
4 Press and release the S (Set) button.
5 Enter the component's code number. For
example, if you're entering the code for a
PhiHps VCR, you would press and release
1,
then press and release 3.
6 Press and release the ENTER button to store the
code number in the Conunander's memory.
7 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.
2 Aim the Remote Commander at the component and press a button
to check if that button works.
For example, press the POWER button to see if it works on your
component.
3 Check that the other buttons of the Commander is operating the
corresponding functions of the component.
If the Commander Doesn't Seem to Be Working...

• If - after trying all the ccxies listed for your component - you still
cannot get the Commander to work properly, try the search
method describL*d in "Searching for the Correct Code."
Tip

3 Press and release the S (Set) button.
4 Press and release the CH+ button. Then press
and release the POWER button.
5 Repeat step 4 until the correct code number is found.
Each time you press the CH+ button and then the POWER button,
a new code number will be transmitted.
Keep trying until your component operates by receiving the
transmitted signal from the Commander (e g., the power turns off,
the CH+ function works, playback starts, etc ). Be patient as you
do this; it may take 50 or 60 tries until the correct code number is
located.
6 When the correct code is found, press and
release the ENTER button to store the code
number in the Commander's memory.
7 Check that the Commander is operating the other functions of
your component by pressing the corresponding buttons on the
Commander. If they seem to be working properly, you're done
setting up the Commander.
If the component does not operate properly, repeat steps 3 to 6 and
search for another code. As the searching always starts from 01, it
will stop again at the same code as the last searching. Pass the code
and continue searching until the next code by which the component
operates.
If you still cannot get the Commander to work properly, see
"Troubleshooting."
Changing the Component Type of the
Positions
At the factory, components are assigned to each position of the slide
switch as shown in the table in "Setting Up the Remote
Commander."
By completing the following procedure, you can change this setting
so that you can set up other components on any of these positions
except for the
TV and VCR positions.
1 Set the VISUAL/AUDIO selector to VISUAL (to
set up on CABLE or AV1/DBS position) or
AUDIO (to set up on AMP, TAPE, AV2 or CD
position).
2 Set the slide switch to the position whose
component type is to be changed.
Note
You cannot change the component type on the TV and VCR
positions.
