Advanced Remote Operations
Programming the Remote
The RM-P501 temóte included with the receiver can
control non-Sony components by "learning" the
control signals from their remotes. Once this remote
learns dte other components signals, you can use these
components tis part of your system. Additionally, if
you have any Sony components that fail to operate
with this remote, use diis programming function. This
remote can "learn" signals only from other infrared
wireless remotes. Before you program signeds, 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 prograituning

Press the SYSTEM CONTROL / FUNCTION
button of the component you want to program
(except the TUNER and PHONO buttons).
For example, if you want to program a CD player's
remote, press CD.
2 Press LEARN to turn on the LEARN indicator.
3 Press the button on this unit's remote that is to
"learn" the signal from the other remote.
The LEARN indicator flashes slowly.
Use only the shaded buttoirs shown above (see
"Remote Button Descriptions" on page 36 for the
buttons you can use to operate each component).
If the LEARN indicator flashes rapidly
You cannot use the button you've pressed.
On the other remote, select the function that the
receiver's remote is to "learn" and hold down its
button until the LEARN indicator lights steadily.
Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to program other buttons.
Note that each button can only "learn" one signal
from another remote.
Press LEARN.
After the LEARN indicator turns off, you can
control the other component with the programmed
buttons.
When you program the recording signal
Use die • button to memorize the signal.
If you cannot successfully program signals, check the
following:
• If the LEARN indicator does not light up at all, the
batteries are weak. Replace both batteries.
• If the LEARN indicator does not flash or li^t up in
Step 3 or 4, there is interference. Qear the signal as
described in "Oearing the programmed signals"
below and program again from the beginning.
• The two remotes are placed too far apart. Make sure
they are only 2 Inches apart.
• If you don't proceed to the following steps within
about 1 minute during Steps 2 and 3, the remote
automatically exits learning mode. Start again from
Step 2.
• If the memory in the remote has become full (If you
program signals of Sony components, you can store
about 60 signals.), you can program a new signal on a
previously programmed button, but the new signal
will replace the previously programmed one.
Notes
• You cannot turn on programmed components by pressing
a SYSTEM CONTROL/FUNCTION button. You have to
turn on die component's power switch.
• Do not program remote signals of air conditioners or other
household appliances.
Clearing the programmed signals
To clear all the programmed signals, do the following.
The button's functions are reset to the factory-pfeset.
1 Press LEARN to turn on the LEARN indicator.
2 Hold down SYSTEM OFF, VISUAL POWER, and
MASTER VOL - until the LEARN indicator
flashes three times and then turns off.
