Frequently used amplifier/receiver and TV control buttons are on the front panel

The frequently used amplifier/receiver and TV control buttons are located on the front panel, so that you can easily operate the amplifier/receiver and TV while operating other AV components.

This chapter describes how to prepare the remote commander for operation. Be sure to read this section before operating.

Compatible components and functions

This unit is a remote control system that utilizes infrared rays to control amplifiers/ receivers and AV components.

Compatible Components

This unit can be used to operate Sony AV components as well as AV components made by other manufacturers. Setup is necessary in order to operate components made by other manufacturers (page 10).

Note

Depending on the component, control may not be possible using this unit.

Functions

This commander operates under the 1 way and the 2 way remote system. As a 2 way remote commander, you can operate the Sony components compatible with the 2 way remote system. Under the 2 way remote system, not only does it transmit infrared rays for operation of the amplifier/receiver, it also receives infrared rays emitted by the amplifier/receiver to display characters and other information from components connected to the amplifier/ receiver with a CONTROL A1/A1 II cord. This commander can also exchange data directly with 2 way CD players (page 19).

In addition, this commander is equipped with 2 remote code transmitter/receiver sections in order to provide a greater operating range.

With the 2 way remote system, the component responds to signals sent from the commander by sending additional signals (information about the status of the component, text data, etc.) back to the commander. Thus, operations are performed as a result of communication between the commander and the component.

SONY STRDA7ES - Understanding the 2 way remote system - 1

When using a home entertainment system comprised of several components compatible with the 2 way remote system, please restrict 2 way remote system operation to a single component. Generally, the 2 way remote system is turned off on all components except for the amplifier/receiver.

If you would like to turn off the amplifier/ receiver's 2 way remote system, refer to "Setting up the 2 way remote" in the operating instructions supplied with the amplifier/ receiver.
