7 Press SET to finish setting.
When you teach signals to VOL +/ or MUTING
If you used the Learning function to program the VOL +/ or MUTING buttons to send any signal to components other than the TV or AMP, that signal will be transmitted only by pressing VOL +/ or MUTING when you select that component. If you used the Learning function to program the VOL +/ or MUTING buttons to send any signal to the TV or AMP, that signal will be transmitted only after you select TV or AMP. When you select other components, the learned signal will be transmitted.

For accurate Learning

Do not move the remote units during the Learning procedure. Be sure to keep holding down the learning button until your Commander reacts as described. Use fresh batteries in both remote units. Avoid Learning in places subject to direct sunlight or a strong fluorescent light. (Noise may interfere during the Learning procedure.) The remote control detector area may differ depending on each remote unit. If Learning does not work, try changing the positions of the two remote control units. When you teach signals of an interactive signal exchange system remote control unit (supplied with some of Sonys 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. other rooms, etc.).
To teach the signals for an air-conditioner
See Notes on programming the signals for an air-conditioner on page 24.

IMPORTANT

Be sure to place the Commander out of the reach of small children or pets, and lock the controls using the Hold function (page 34). Components such as air conditioners, heaters, electric appliances, and electric shutters or curtains receiving an infrared signal can be dangerous if misused.

Component Select button for the component whose signals are to be learned for over 3 seconds.

With this operation, you can only erase the learned functions of all buttons for a specific component. To erase a single learned function of a Component Select button, see page 22.
Controlling the Volume of Visual Components Connected to an Audio System
The Commander is factory preset based on the assumption that you hear the sound of your visual components from your TV speakers, and that you hear sound of your audio components from the loudspeakers connected to your amplifier. For example, to control the volume while using a VCR, you dont need to press the TV button to control the TV volume. The following table shows the factory setting of which volume would be controlled for each component.
Component Select button TV VCR CBL DVD SAT AMP CD TAPE Controls the volume of TV TV TV TV TV amplifier amplifier amplifier
To change the Factory Preset of the Volume Control
However, if your visual components are connected to an audio system, you may want to hear TV or VCR sound from the loudspeakers via your amplifier or DAV, not from your TV speakers. In this case, you need to change the factory preset so that you can control the volume of your visual components without first having to switch to the amplifier or DAV.

To program the Power-On command
Repeat the same procedure, pressing the desired Component Select button.
If the component code of a non-Sony brand has been set on a Component Select button, you cannot program the Power-On function on it. If you change the component code (page 10) after setting the Power-On function, the Power-On function is cleared. (The Component Select button flashes twice to indicate that you cannot set this function.) Even if you used the Learning function (page 16) to program a signal on a Component Select button, you can program the Power-On function on that button but it cannot be used. If you clear the learned function on that button, you can use the Power-On function.
Executing a Series of Commands System Control Functions
With the System Control function, you can program a series of operating commands, and execute them by pressing just one button. You can program up to 16 consecutive operation steps to each of the SYSTEM CONTROL buttons (A D). If you have set the System Control function for a Component Select button (page 33), the execution of the programmed commands begins when you press the Component Select button for more than 2 seconds. When executing the programmed commands, each remote commander signal is transmitted.

SET, press and hold for more than 3 seconds the SYSTEM CONTROL button you want to clear.
Tips for programming the System Control functions
The following information helps you to program a consecutive operation steps.
About the order of operation steps
Some of the components may not accept consecutive remote control signals. For example, some TVs generally may not respond to the next signal right after the Poweron signal. So, a series of commands such as TV Power-on and input select may not work properly. In this case, insert other signals to other components such as in the example below: TV Power-ontVCR Power-ont VCR playbacktTV input select
Programming a Series of Commands on the Component Select Buttons
As with the SYSTEM CONTROL buttons, you can also program a series of operating commands for the Component Select buttons (up to 16 steps). To execute the commands programmed on a Component Select button by the System Control function, press the button for more than 2 seconds.
The SET indicator and the VCR Component Select button lights turn on.
If a Control Program function (Component Macro) has already been set on the button, the button flashes twice. The setting procedure is automatically canceled.
2 Set the Control Program
With this example, press the buttons in sequence as below:
When you press the button for less than 2 seconds, it works as a normal Component Select button, and the programmed function does not work. See also Tips for programming the System Control functions on page 31.
You can program up to 16 consecutive steps on each of the Component Select buttons, including the first step of pressing to select a Component Select button.
The VCR Component Select button light turns off.
Example: To program the procedure on page 29 for the VCR Component Select button
SET, press the VCR Component Select button.
Programming a Series of Commands on the Component Select Buttons (continued)
SET, press and hold for more than 3 seconds the Component Select button you want to clear.
You can program a Control Program function (Component Macro) for a Component Select button on which the Power-On function (page 27) has been programmed. In this case, the Power-On function is executed when you press the Component Select button, or when you select another component while the consecutive Control Program is being executed. If the procedure is interrupted the at any point for over more than 20 seconds, the setting mode ends and the series of commands will be programmed up to that point. In this case, clear the program (page 33) and start again from Step 1 to set the entire program from the beginning. You cannot continue programming once the setting mode ends. If a Component Select button has already learned a remote control signal (page 16), you can program a Control Program function (Component Macro), but the function does will not work until you clear the Learned Function. To clear the Learning Learned Function, see Changing or erasing the function of a learned button on page 22. While you are setting a program, you can insert a 0.4 second interval before the next step is executed by pressing the same Component Select button again. For the example above in the step 2, you can insert a 0.4 second interval between the TV-on signal and the TV/VIDEO switching signal at the exercising as the program is executed by pressing the buttons TVtPOWERtTV.

Assigning Other Components to the Component Select Buttons
You can assign another component to any of the Component Select buttons not being used. Once if you set a Component Select button to a different type of component, the entered components code number becomes effective.
To use the original component setting, set the component code number again (page 10). If you enter a new brands component code number without clearing the previous learned functions on that Component Select button, the previously learned functions remain effective. Erase the functions you do not use frequently. You can only assign a TV to the TV Component Select button.

When pressing the POWER button and the TV/VIDEO button, all the Component Select buttons go off. When pressing the VOL button while holding down the POWER button and the TV/ VIDEO button, the SET indicator lights up and the Component Select buttons light up one by one. When the SET indicator turns off at last, all settings are cleared, and the Commander returns to its original state.

Precautions

Do not drop the unit or give a shock to the unit, or it may cause a malfunction. Do not leave the unit in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or sand, moisture, rain or mechanical shock. Do not put foreign objects into the unit. Should any liquid or solid object fall into the unit, have it checked by qualified personnel before operating the unit any further. Do not expose the remote control detectors of your components to direct sunlight or other strong illumination. Too much light there can interfere with remote control operations. Be sure to place the Commander out of the reach of small children or pets. Components such as air conditioners, heaters, electric appliances, and electric shutters or curtains receiving an infrared signal can be dangerous if misused.

You cannot operate a component even after you programmed the remote control signals with the Learning function.
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 program the remote control signals for the component (page 16). 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 13) 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 Sonys 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 19) and try the Learning procedure again (page 16).
Troubleshooting (continued)

The System Control When you program a System Control function or Control function or Control Program function, make sure to follow the correct steps Program function does (pages 29, 32). not work properly. Change the direction the Remote Commander is aimed. If the problem persists, position the programmed components closer together. If the remote control receivers of the components are too far apart, or if something is blocking the signals between them, some of the components may not operate in sequence even after you press the programmed button. If some of the components do not operate correctly because of the above or any other reason, position the components back to the way they were before you set the System Control function or Control Program function. Failure to do this can result in incorrect operation when you use these functions again. Some components may not always be powered on by the System Control function or Control Program function. This is because the power of the component turns on and off alternately when receiving the power on/off signal. In this case, check the operating components power on/off state before using the System Control function. If you change the AV brands component code number (page 10) set on a Component Select button that has been programmed for a series of commands by the Control Program function, the new signal will be transmitted when you press the corresponding Component Select button. The intervals between steps may be too short. Depending on the components, you may need to insert an interval between consecutive controls. You can insert an interval by changing the order of pressing the buttons. (You can insert an interval between steps when programming the Component Select button.) If a SYSTEM CONTROL button or a Component Select button has already learned a remote control signal (page 16), you can program a System Control function (System Control Macro) or a Control Program function (Component Macro), but the function will not work until you clear the Learned function. To clear the Learned function, see Changing or erasing the function of a learned button on page 22.
