If the Commander does not seem to be working If the learned key or button does not operate properly, teach once again. (For example, if the volume becomes very loud after pressing the VOLUME+ button only once, noise may have interfered during the learning procedure.)
If you set a component code after learning a signal If you have programmed any signal for a key or button using the learning function, that signal will remain assigned to that key or button even after you set a component code.
When you teach the REC (record) signal If you have to press two buttons at the same time (for example, z and B) to start recording on your cassette deck or VCR, teach the REC signal in one of the following ways.
To operate with two keys on the Commander In Step 5 (page 21), while pressing the REC key, press the B key to display both keys. Then press the two buttons on your components remote control in Step 6.
To operate with one key on the Commander In Step 5 (page 21), press only the REC key. Then press the two buttons on your components remote control in Step 6.
When you teach signals to the VOLUME +/ or MUTING buttons If you have programmed any signal on
the VOLUME +/ or MUTING button for components other than TV and AMP using the learning function, that signal will be transmitted only when you select that component.
If you have programmed any signal for the VOLUME +/ buttons or the MUTING button of TV or AMP using the learning function, that signal will be also transmitted when you select another component. However, if you have programmed any signal for the VOLUME +/ buttons or the MUTING button of another component, that signal will be transmitted only after you select that component.
When you teach the signals of an air-conditioner See the notes on page 52.
To display only the frequently used keys You can hide keys you do not use. After Step 4 on page 20, while pressing the DEL key, press the key you want to hide (flashing). The pressed key changes to slower flashing and will no longer be displayed during remote control operations. To display it again, perform the same procedure again.
Note You cannot hide a key which has learned any signal.
23
To change the function display of a key You can select the most suitable function display among all the displays the key has, and set it to the key.
1 After Step 4 (page 20), while pressing the Mode Display key (in this case, VCR), press the key you want to teach repeatedly.
Each time the key is pressed, the display is changed in order.
2 When the desired display appears, release the Mode Display key.
3 Then follow Steps 6 to 8 (page 21).
Continued
Notes You can change the display of a key only
when you program it using the learning function. If you want to change the display of the key that has learned a signal, clear the signal first (page 25). Then teach the key again using the above procedure to change its display.
If you dont change the display of a key, the default display is used.
You cannot change the display of the area of the numeric keys 1 to 9.
To change the name of the Label key You can change the display of the Label key to the most suitable name using up to 8 characters or digits.

The cleared key flashes together with other learnable keys.
2 Press COMMANDER OFF.
If you keep COMMANDER OFF pressed for more than 2 seconds The Commander turns off.
If you keep COMMANDER OFF pressed for less than 2 seconds The Commander returns to the previously set mode.
For accurate learning Do not move the remote units during
the learning procedure. Be sure to keep holding down the
button of the other remote control until you hear the confirmation beep.
Use fresh batteries in both remote control units.
Avoid learning in places under direct sunlight or strong fluorescent light.
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 receivers and 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.).
IMPORTANT Be sure to place the Commander out of the reach of small children or pets. Also set the Hold function to lock the all buttons on the Commander (page 71) when it is not used. Components such as air conditioners, heaters, electric appliances, and electric shutters or curtains receiving an infrared signal can be dangerous if misused.

Advanced Features
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.
This feature enables you to control the volume of your TV or amplifier without having to select TV or AMP each time you want to control the volume. For example, to control the volume while using a VCR, you dont need to press the TV button to control the TV volume. You can switch the volume of all the visual components to the amplifier at the same time.
The following table shows the factory setting of which volume would be controlled for each component.
However, if your visual components are connected to an audio system, you probably hear TV or VCR sound from the loudspeakers via your amplifier, 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.

Notes If you have already programmed any signal
for the VOLUME or MUTING button of each component by learning, the procedure above will not change the function of the VOLUME and MUTING buttons.
If you have programmed volume control signals on VOLUME or MUTING buttons of TV or AMP, you can only use that signal when you select TV or AMP. For other component, the preset volume control signals for TV or AMP (depending on the above setting procedure) will be transmitted. To use the new signals, you need to program each button for each component by the learning procedure (page 20).
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. For example, when you watch a video, a series of operations like the ones below are necessary.
COMMANDER OFF
Continued
Example: 1 Turn on the TV. 2 Turn on the video (VCR). 3 Turn on the amplifier. 4 Set the input selector of the amplifier
to VIDEO 1. 5 Set the input mode of the TV to VIDEO 1. 6 Start video playback
You can program up to 32 consecutive operation steps to each of the SYSTEM CONTROL buttons (1-3) or the Label keys (SYSTEM 4-15). If you have set the System Control function for a Component Select button or a Label key (page 38), the execution of the programmed commands begins when you press the Component Select button for more than 2 seconds. The component macro executing time is variable by changing the setting (page 42). While executing the programmed commands, at the same time that each remote control signal is transmitted, the corresponding key is displayed.

Executing a Series of Commands System Control Functions (continued)
Notes If you interrupt the procedure at any point
for over two minutes, the setting mode ends and the series of commands will be programmed to that point. In this case, clear the program (page 35) and start again from Step 1 to set the entire program from the beginning. You cannot continue from where you let off.
If a SYSTEM CONTROL button or a Label key has already learned a remote control signal (page 49), NG flashes and you cannot program on this button. Clear the learned contents first (page 51).
If you change the component code number (page 12) or program a new signal by learning (page 19) on a key or button that has been programmed in the series of commands of the System Control function, the new signal will be transmitted when you press the corresponding SYSTEM CONTROL button or a Label key.
During programming of a series of operating commands, the DEL key is not displayed and you cannot clear any operation step you have programmed. If you have programmed an incorrect operation by mistake, start again from Step 1.
If you try to program more than 32 steps, the System Control setting finishes, and the 32 steps you have programmed are registered. If you want to program again, clear the program (page 35) and start again from Step 1.
When programming a power-on command for the System Control function, if you select the Component Select button or the Label key for which you programmed the Power-on setting (page 43), the Power-on setting is also available. So, the power of the selected component turns off if the POWER key of the component is programmed. In this case, clear the Power-on setting, or do not program the POWER key of the component.
About the interval between operation steps You can change the interval between
operation steps (page 40). If you cannot receive signals successfully
during consecutive operation steps, program the interval between steps by pressing the TIMER button between operation steps in Step 6 on page 33. This operation of programming an interval is counted also as a step.
To change the display of the component name on the Mode Display key When you program a series of operating commands, you can change the display of the component name to the most suitable name using up to 8 characters or digits.
After Step 3 (page 32), hold the Mode Display key pressed for more than 2 seconds. Then follow the same procedure as that for changing the name of the Label key in To change the display of the Label key, Steps 2 - 5 on page 24. If you press the CLEAR key, the Label key returns to the previous display.
About the order of operation steps Some of the components may not accept
consecutive remote control signals. For example, a TV generally does not react to next signal right after the Power-on signal. So, a series of commands such as TV Power- on and input select may not work properly. In this case, insert other signals like the example below;
TV Power-on t VCR Power-on t VCR play back t TV input select
After the series of input commands is executed, the Commander displays the touch-keys of the component in the final step. By programming an often-used components command as the final step, you can save the step of pressing a Component Select button or a Label key when you start operating that component. (In the example on page 33, the touch-keys of TV are displayed.)
If a series of commands is programmed for the Component Select button or the Label keys (page 38), the display of that component is shown after the program is executed.

2 Clear again the System Control function programmed on SYSTEM CONTROL 1 or 3 (page 35). Select SYSTEM CONTROL 1 or 3, in Step 5 on page 35.
Note The interval setting (page 40) is not reset to the factory setting, even if you perform these steps.
Notes on System Control Operations If the remote control detectors of the
components are too far apart, or if something is blocking them, some of the components may not operate consecutively even after you press the SYSTEM CONTROL button or a Label key.
If some of the components did not operate correctly because of the above or for any other reason, always set all the components back to the states they were in before you pressed the SYSTEM CONTROL button or a Label key. Failure to do this can result in incorrect operation when you press the SYSTEM CONTROL button or a Label key again.
Some components may not always be powered on by the System Control function. This is because the power of the component goes on and off alternatively when receiving the power on/off signal. In this case, check the operating components power on/off state before using the system control function.

For example, if you always have to change input select of the amplifier to CD when listening to the CD player, program the signal of changing the amplifiers input select to the CD button of this Commander. Then whenever you press the CD button, it automatically works as the original CD Component Select button and changes also the amplifier input select to CD. (In this case, the amplifier should be turned on first.)
Note Some specific remote control signals may not be learned.

Notes If the component code of a non-Sony product
has been set for a Component Select button or a Label key, you cannot program the Power-On function for it.
Even if you have programmed a signal by learning (See Adding a command that is required when selecting a component, page 45) or a System Control function (page 38) for a Component Select button or a Label key, you can program the Power-On function for that button, but it cannot be used. If you clear a learned signal or the System Control function from the button or key, you can use the Power-On function.
You can program a signal by learning (page 45) or a System Control function (page 38) for a Component Select button for which the Power-On function has been programmed. In this case, the Power-On function is overwritten and cannot be used. If you clear the learned signal or the System Control function from the button or key, the Power- On function is resumed, and you can use it again.
You can set the learning function (page 46) or the System Control function (page 31) to the Component Select button or the Label key for which you programmed the Power-on signal. In this case, the Power-on setting is also available and the Power-on signal is output. So check the setting of Power-on signal before setting the learning function or the System Control function.

Programming a Frequently Used Key Operation for SYSTEM CONTROL Buttons or Label Keys In addition to their original System Control functions (see page 31), SYSTEM CONTROL 1, 2 or 3 buttons or SYSTEM 4 - 15 Label keys can be programmed to learn any remote control signal. As they operate independently from other buttons, SYSTEM CONTROL 1, 2 or 3 buttons can work as one-touch buttons without any preceding operation such as pressing a Component Select button to select a component. This is useful if you prefer having the SYSTEM CONTROL button as a one- touch button for a single operation rather than executing a series of commands.
Note Some specific remote control signals may not be learned. Refer to the operating instructions supplied to the specific remote control as well.

Notes on learning the signals of an air-conditioner About seasonal adjustments If you change the settings of the air- conditioner for the season, you have to program the remote control signals of the new settings on the Commander.
If the power-on/off operation does not work correctly The air-conditioner may not be turned on or off properly with the button or key of this Commander, for which you have programmed its power-on/off signal. If the Commander can operate only ON with one button or key and OFF with another, while your air- conditioners remote control can operate ON/OFF with a single button or key, program the signal on two buttons or keys of the Commander as follows.
1 Clear the learned power-on/off signal. (In the example on page 51, clear the learned signal from the SYSTEM CONTROL 2 button.)
2 Program the signal (transmitted from the power-on/off button of the air- conditioners remote control) for the SYSTEM CONTROL 2 button again.
3 Program the signal from the same button of the remote control for another button or key (for example, the SYSTEM CONTROL 3 button).
The two buttons or keys of the Commander have been programmed with the power-on signal and the power- off signal of the air-conditioner, respectively so that you can operate the air-conditioner with the Commander.

Additional Information
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 hear
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.
Maintenance Clean the surface with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water or a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of solvent such as alcohol, benzine or thinner as they may damage the finish of the surface.
84
Troubleshooting If you have problems setting up or using the Remote Commander, first check the batteries (page 7), then check the items below.
Remedy
Go closer to the component. The maximum operating distance is approximately 32.8 ft. (10 m).
Check that you are aiming the Commander directly at the component, and that there are no obstructions between the Commander and the component.
Turn on the components first, if necessary. Check that the component has infrared remote capability. For example,
if your component didnt come with a remote commander, it probably isnt capable of being controlled by a remote commander.
You have assigned a different component to the Component Select button or Label key. A corresponding component is fixed by presetting a component code number. Therefore, the name of component you have preset may be different from that of the Component Select button or the Label key. In this case, it is recommended to preset again (page 12) and change the component name on the Mode Display key or the name of the Label key (page 23, 24).
Set the component code correctly. If the code that is listed first for your component doesnt 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 keys 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 19).
If your visual components are connected to an audio system, make sure youve set up the Commander as described in Controlling the Volume of Visual Components Connected to an Audio System (page 29).
You have assigned another component to the TV or AMP button (page 45, 46). In this case, the volume cannot be controlled when you select a component other than TV or AMP.
When you teach signals of an interactive signal exchange system remote control unit (supplied with some of Sonys receivers and 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.).
Make sure that the Remote Commander has learned the correct signals. If not, see For accurate learning (page 25) and try the learning procedure again (page 19).
Symptom
You cannot operate the components.
You cannot operate the components even after setting the component code numbers.
You cannot control the volume.
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.
85
Symptom
NG flashes five times.
NG flashes twice.
Remedy
Leaning has not succeeded. After checking the follows, try learning procedure again (page 19). - Change the distance between remote commanders. - See For accurate learning (page 25).
The component codes cannot be set. See the supplied Component Code Numbers and try setting the component codes again (page 12).
The data have not been transferred. See Transferring data (page 52) and try transferring the data again.
The data has not been received. See Receiving the data (page 56) and try receiving the data again.
Learned signals have been programmed for the button or key to which you want to set the learning, System Control or Channel Macro function. Clear the learned signals (page 35, 60) and try setting again.
Learned signals or the Channel Macro function have been programmed for the Component Select button or the Label key to which you want to copy the settings of another Component Select button or the Label key using the copying function (page 47). Clear the contents (page 25, 60) and try the copying procedure again.
The key for which you want to program the Channel Macro function is not a Channel Macro key. You can program the Channel Macro function only for the Label keys.
You may try to clear the learned signals in the Channel Macro setting mode (page 60). In this mode, only Channel Macro settings can be cleared by pressing the macro key while keeping the DEL key pressed. To clear the learned signals, see page 46.
Learned signals have been programmed for the Label key to which you want to set the Channel Macro function. Clear the learned signals (page 25) and try setting again. Or set to another Label key.
There are some keys, for which learned signals have been programmed, on the display for the Component Select button or the Label key when the Commander receives the data from another Commander. Clear the learned signals using the CLEAR key and the RETURN key on the display of the receiving mode (page 56). Or see Changing or erasing the function of a taught key or button (page 25), and clear the learned signals.
The program contents you want to change are set to be executed by the timer. Set the timer setting in which that program is included not to be executed (page 65), and edit the program contents.
You may try to program the Power-On function (page 43) for a Component Select button or the Label key to which the component code of a non-Sony product has been set. This function is only for Sony components.
You may try to operate the preset function (page 12) after operating the learning function (page 19). You cannot operate the preset function after operationg the learning function. Preset after clearing the learned signals (page 25), or preset to another Component Select button or Label key that is not used.
Continued
86
Troubleshooting (continued)
Symptom
NG appears during learning.
NG flashes if you try to copy the settings of the Component Select button or the Label key to another Component Select button or Label key.
A system control program does not function correctly.
Your Commander does not work as expected after data transfer.
The component set to be operated by the timer of the Commander does not function as expected.
The timer program is executed in the next week though that program has been already executed.
The character contents you have input return to the original display.
The character contents you have input are not displayed.
Remedy
The memory is full. Clear infrequently used learned keys (page 25), then carry out learning operations.
There are some keys, for which learned signals or the Channel Macro function have been programmed, on the display for the Component Select button or the Label key. Copy the settings to another Component Select button or the Label key, or clear the learned signals (page 25) or the Channel Macro function (page 60).
Make sure that you have programmed the commands in the correct order (page 31).
Try changing the orientation of the Commander. If that does not help, try placing the components as close to each other as possible.
Check the status of the components and make sure that you have set the components properly to receive commands (page 37).
The component codes are changed or a new signals have been learned for a key or button that has been programmed with a series of commands. In this case, the new signals are transmitted when the series of commands is executed.
The interval may be too short. See Changing the interval between operation steps (page 40) and set a longer interval, or adjust the series of commands by changing the order of buttons and keys. (When programming the system control function, you can make an interval of a while by pressing the TIMER button.)
Data transfer to/from a single Component Select button or Label key cannot transfer System Control functions set to each button or key. Either set up the receiving Commander from the start, or perform whole data transfer (page 52).
The component could not receive the signal from the Commander successfully. When using the timer, check the following. - Check that the timer macro program functions correctly by pressing
the TEST key, after programming the timer (page 66). - Check the location of the Commander.
The status of each component is not suitable for operation. (For example, you program the power-on setting, assuming that power of the component is off when the timer turns on. However, if power of the component is on when the component receives the timer signal from the Commander, the component will turn off.)
The timer program contents you have set on this Commander repeat every week (weekly timer). If you want to execute the timer program once, set the timer standby mode to OFF after checking the execution of the timer program (page 67).
If you preset a component code after inputting character contents, they are cleared and return to the original display. Edit the characters after you decide the component to be used by presetting a code.
If you input characters to the Label keys which have no data (displayed ), the input characters are not displayed. In this case, first input data to the Label keys by learning function (page 19) and input characters. However, the input characters are displayed during the learning operation.
