Features

The RM-VL600 Remote Commander provides centralized control of all your AV components from a single remote commander and saves the trouble of operating different AV components with different remote control devices. The following are its main features.
Centralized control of Sony AV components with this one remote commander
This Commander is preset at the factory to operate Sony brand components, so you can use it out of the box as a control center for your Sony AV components.
Remote control signals for non-Sony components are also preset
This Commander is preset for most major brands components as well as Sony. You can remote control your non-Sony components by setting the type and code number of each component (page 10).
Learning function for programming various other remote control signals
This Commander has a Learning function, to learn the remote control signals needed to operate other non-preset components or functions. (To teach such signals to this Commander, use the remote control supplied with the non-preset components.) (page 16) In addition, the Commander can learn remote control signals (infrared signals only) of non-Audio Visual components such as air-conditioners, lights, etc. (Some specific appliances or functions may not be available.) (page 24)
Reassigning new components
You can assign Component Select buttons to freely operate other components. This is useful when you have more than two of the same kind of AV component (only if a Component Select button is free.) (page 33) You can only assign TVs to the TV Component Select button. You can only assign an amplifier or DVD/Receiver combo to the AMP Component Select button.

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.
Locking the Controls Hold Function
To prevent accidental operation, you can lock all the buttons with the Hold function.
POWER, press TV/VIDEO and CH +.
The SET button and the Component Select button currently selected flash once, and the Hold function is set.
All the buttons are locked.

The Component Select buttons flash by a constant interval when you press a button. You cannot operate a component even after setting the component code numbers.
The Commander fails to learn the remote control signals.
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).

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.
