To reset all function buttons to their factory settings
First press down MASTER VOLUME –, then AV I/∅, and then SYSTEM STANDBY.
Operating Non-Sony Components
You can program the remote to control non-Sony components. Once the control signals have been memorized, you can use those components as part of your system.
Furthermore, you can also program this remote for Sony components that the remote is unable to control. Note that the remote can control the components that accept infrared wireless control signals only.
1 Do the procedure of "Changing the Factory Setting of a Function Button" on page 12, if necessary.
2 Press IR SET. The program indicator lights up.
3 Press the function button for the component you want to control. For example, if you are going to control a CD player, press CD.
4 Press the numeric buttons to enter the numeric code (or one of the codes if more than one code exist) corresponding to the component and the make of the component you want to control. See the tables on pages 14 and 15 for information on the numeric code(s) corresponding to the component and the make of the component.
5 Press ENTER D.TUNING. When the program indicator goes off, the component(s) can then be controlled using this remote.
6 Repeat Steps 2 to 5 to control other components.
If programming is unsuccessful, check the following:
- If the program indicator does not light up, the batteries are weak. Replace both batteries.
- If you do not do Step 3 within one minute after pressing the IR SET button in Step 2, the remote automatically exits learning mode. Start again from Step 2.
Notes
- The numeric codes are based on the latest information available for each brand. There is a chance, however, that your component will not respond to some or all of the codes.
- All of the functions on this remote may not be available when used with your particular component.
Clearing all programmed signals
To clear all the programmed signals, do the following procedure. The remote is reset to its factory-setting.
1 Press IR SET to turn on the program indicator.
2 First press down MASTER VOLUME –, then AV I/⏻, and then SYSTEM STANDBY until the program indicator flashes twice, then goes off.
The numeric codes corresponding to the component and the make of the component
Use the numeric codes in the tables below to control non-Sony components and also Sony components that the remote is normally unable to control. Since the remote signal that a component accepts differs depending on the model and year of the component, more than one numeric code may be assigned to a component. If you fail to program your remote using one of the codes, try using other codes.
Notes
- The numeric codes are based on the latest information available for each brand. There is a chance, however, that your component will not respond to some or all of the codes.
- All of the functions on this remote may not be available when used with your particular component.
