Frequently Asked Questions - RM-PP412 SONY

How do I insert the batteries into the Sony RM-PP412 remote?

Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote. Insert two R6 (AA) batteries following the + and – polarities indicated. Close the cover.

What is the battery life?

Under normal use, the batteries last approximately 6 months. When the remote stops working, replace both batteries with new ones.

How do I program the remote for a non-Sony device?

Hold down the USE MODE button and press AV I/⓷. The USE MODE key lights up. Press the input key corresponding to the device (e.g., CD/SACD for a CD player). Enter the 3-digit numeric code for the brand (see the table in the manual), then press ENTER. The USE MODE key flashes twice to confirm.

What should I do if the remote stops working?

First check that the batteries are not dead and replace them if necessary. Make sure the control mode (AV1/AV2) matches that of the receiver. Point the remote at the device's infrared sensor without obstacles. If the problem persists, reset the remote (see related question) or contact a Sony dealer.

How do I reset the remote to factory settings?

Press the AV I/⓷, I/() and MASTER VOL - buttons simultaneously. The USE MODE key flashes three times and then goes off.

What devices can I control with this remote?

The remote can control Sony receivers, CD/DVD players, VCRs, TVs, satellite tuners, cassette decks, DAT decks, LD players, etc. It is also programmable for many non-Sony brands (see codes in the manual).

How do I switch to AV1 or AV2 mode?

Hold down the USE MODE button, then press AV1 (flashes once) or AV2 (flashes twice) to change the control mode.

What do the keys with orange printing mean?

Keys with orange markings (such as ALT, ENTER, etc.) require you to press the ALT key first to activate their secondary function.

Where can I find the programming code for my device brand?

Advanced Remote Operations

This chapter describes how to set the remote to control non-Sony components.

Programming the remote

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 the remote for Sony components that the remote is unable to control. Note that the remote can only control components that accept infrared wireless control signals.

Note

You cannot program the SOURCE button.

1 Press AVI/while holding down USE MODE.

The USE MODE button lights.

2 Press one of the input buttons to select the input you want to control.

For example, if you are going to control a CD player, press CD/SACD.

You can also select the TV I/O button.

3 Press the numeric buttons to enter the numeric code (or one of the codes if more than one code exists) corresponding to the component and the maker of the component you want to control.

See the tables starting from page 10 for information on the numeric code(s) corresponding to the component and the maker of the component. (The first digit and the last two digits of the numeric code correspond to the category and the maker's code respectively.)

4 Press ENTER.

Once the numeric code has been verified, the USE MODE button slowly flashes twice and the remote automatically exits the programming mode.

5 Repeat steps 1 to 4 to control other components.

To cancel programming

Press USE MODE during any step. The remote automatically exits the programming mode.

To use the programmed input

Press the programmed input buttons.

If programming is unsuccessful, check the following:

• If the USE MODE button does not light up in step 1, the batteries are weak. Replace both batteries.
• If the USE MODE button flashes 4 times in quick succession while entering the numeric code, an error has occurred. Start again from step 1.
• In step 1, the remote automatically exits the programming mode if 60 seconds has passed after pressing USE MODE. Start again from step 1.

Notes

• The USE MODE button turns off while a valid button is pressed.
• In step 2, if you press the input buttons several times, only the last selected input is valid.
• In step 2, if you press TV I/(), only TV VOL +/-, TV CH +/-, TV/VIDEO and WIDE buttons are reprogrammed.
• In step 3, if you press the input buttons, the new input is selected and the programming procedure returns to the beginning of step 3.
• For the numeric codes, only the first three numbers entered are valid.

To clear the memory of the remote

Press I/ AVI/ and MASTER VOL - at the same time. The USE MODE button flashes 3 times, then goes off.

The numeric codes corresponding to the component and the maker 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.
