  • Do not take more than one hour to replace the batteries. Otherwise, your unit settings (page 24) will be initialized.
  • Do not attempt to recharge dry batteries.
  • Do not carry dry batteries together with coins or other metallic objects. This can generate heat if the positive and negative terminals of the batteries accidentally come into contact with metallic objects.
  • When you are not going to use the unit for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid damage from battery leakage and corrosion.
  • Do not use different types of batteries at the same time.
  • When you replace the batteries, replace them both with new ones.

If the Remote Commander does not seem to be working properly

If the learned button does not operate properly, clear the learned signal first (page 14), then perform the learning procedure from step 1 again. (For example, if the volume becomes very loud after pressing the △ (volume) + button just once, noise may have interfered during the learning procedure.)

For accurate learning

  • Do not move the remote units during the learning procedure.
  • Be sure to press and hold 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, or near a plasma display. (It may cause noise interference.)
  • The remote control signal direction may differ depending on the remote control. If Learning does not work, try changing the position of the remote control.
  • When you programme the Remote Commander from a remote control unit with an interactive signal exchange system (supplied with some Sony receivers and amplifiers), the response signal of the component may interfere with the Learning of the Remote Commander. In such a case, move to another room, etc., where signals will not interfere.

IMPORTANT

Be sure to place the Remote Commander out of the reach of small children or pets.

Also, set the Hold function to lock all the buttons on the Remote Commander (page 11) when it is not used. Devices such as air conditioners, heaters, electric appliances, and electric shutters or curtains receiving an infrared signal can be dangerous if misused.

Notes on programming the signals for an air-conditioner

About seasonal adjustments

If you change the settings of the air-conditioner for the season, you have to programme the remote control signals of the new settings on the Remote Commander.

If the power-on/off operation does not work correctly

If the Remote Commander can only operate “ON” with one button and “OFF” with another, while your air-conditioner’s remote control can operate “ON/OFF” with a single button, programme the signal on two buttons of the Remote Commander as follows.

1 Clear the “learned” power-on/off signal on the programmed button.
2 Reprogramme only the power-on signal of the air-conditioner on the button by following the steps of “Programming Signals of Another Remote Control” (page 12).
3 Programme the power-off signal of the air-conditioner on another button.

The two buttons of the Remote 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 Remote Commander.

Troubleshooting

If you have problems setting up or using the Remote Commander, first check the batteries (page 5), then check the items below.

ProblemSolution
You cannot operate the components.Move closer to the component. The maximum operating distance is approximately 32.8 ft. (10 m).Check that you are aiming the Remote Commander directly at the component, and that there are no obstructions between the Remote Commander and the component.Turn on the A/V components first, if necessary.Check that you are pressing the correct COMPONENT select button or Label select button.Check that the component has infrared remote capability. For example, if your component didn’t come with a remote commander, it probably isn’t capable of being controlled by a remote commander.You have assigned a different component to the COMPONENT select button or component label. A corresponding component is determined by setting a preset code. Therefore, the name of the component you have preset may be different from that of the component label. In this case, it is recommended to preset again (page 7) and change the component name on the label (page 15).
You cannot operate the components even after setting the preset code.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 they are listed in the supplied “Preset Code List.”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 programme the remote control signals for the component (page 12).The desired A/V component may not be operated by the preset code listed in the “Preset Code List.” See “Setting A/V components which are not listed in the Preset Code List” (page 8) to set the preset code available for the A/V component.
You cannot control the volume.If your visual components are connected to an audio system, make sure you have set up the Remote Commander as described in “Controlling the volume of visual components connected to an audio component” (page 23).You have programmed remote control signals on the TV or amplifier’s volume control buttons. In this case, the Remote Commander transmits the learned signals instead of the volume control signals when you select a component other than a TV or amplifier.
The Remote Commander fails to learn the remote control signals.When learning, place the Remote Commander and your A/V component’s remote control at a distance of 5 -10 cm (2-4 inches) away from each other.Check that the battery power of your A/V component’s remote control is sufficient. If not, replace the battery with a new one.Before learning, turn off other infrared devices, such as air-conditioners or headphones.Learning may not succeed near a plasma display. Try changing the position or turn off a plasma display.Learning may not succeed under strong fluorescent light. Try changing the position.When you teach signals of an interactive signal exchange system remote control unit (supplied with some of Sony’s receivers and amplifiers) to the Remote Commander, the response signal of the main unit may interfere with the learning of the Remote Commander. In such a case, move to a place where the signals cannot reach the main unit (e.g. another room, etc.).
You cannot operate a component even after you programmed the remote control signals with the “learning” function.Make sure that the Remote Commander has learned the correct signals. If not, see “Notes” on page 13 or “For accurate learning” (page 14), and try the learning procedure again (page 12).
“NG” appears in the third line on the screen and a beep sounds five times while setting the preset code.Preset code setting has not succeeded. Set the preset code again, referring to the supplied “Preset Code List”.
“NG” appears in the third line on the screen and a beep sounds five times while learning.·Learning has not succeeded. Try the learning procedure again (page 12), referring to “For accurate learning” (page 14).·While learning, you pressed the button other than the one on which you want to programme the signal. Programme the signal on the correct button again (page 12).
“FULL” appears in the third line on the screen and a beep sounds five times while learning.Learned signal memory is full. Clear learned signals that are not frequently used (page 14), then programme the desired remote signal.
“NG” appears in the third line on the screen and a beep sounds five times when trying to copy settings of a component label to another component label.·Setting cannot be copied on COMPONENT select buttons or Label select buttons in the following situations:– A learned signal or Component Macro is programmed.– The button’s component label has been changed.– The button’s function label has been changed.In this case, reset those settings (page 28) before copying.·You are copying the settings of A/V components other than a TV or amplifier on the Label select button assigned with a TV or amplifier. The TV button is assigned with only TV and the Label select button to which an amplifier is preset is assigned with only amplifier or DVD player home theatre system.·The Remote Commander fails to copy the settings if the programmed signal data of the button is too large. In this case, clear programmed signals that are not frequently used (page 14), then copy the settings again.
A beep sounds twice while setting the preset code.The preset code cannot be set on the COMPONENT select button or Label select button in the following situations:– A learned signal or Component Macro is programmed.– The button’s component label has been changed.– The button’s function label has been changed.In this case, reset those settings (page 28) before setting.
A beep sounds twice while learning.·See “For accurate learning” (page 14).·Other remote signal has been programmed on the desired button. Clear the learned signal (page 14) or programme the remote signal on another button (page 12).·Learning standby time (10 seconds) has been exceeded.Start over from the beginning.
A beep sounds twice while programming a Component Macro.·You are assigning a Component Macro on the COMPONENT select button or Label select button on which another Component Macro has been assigned. Clear the Component Macro assigned to the button (page 20), then assign the desired Component Macro.·The programmed steps exceed 32 after adding delay while checking the Component Macro. A maximum of 32 steps (including delay) can be programmed. Reprogramme the Component Macro.
“NG” appears in the third line on the screen and a beep sounds twice while programming the power-on function.You are programming the power-on function (page 21) on the COMPONENT select button or Label select button assigned with a preset code other than Sony’s. The power-on function can be programmed only on the button assigned with Sony’s preset code.
A Component Macro does not function correctly.When programming a Component Macro, programme the actions in the correct order (page 18).Change the direction of the Remote Commander. If it does not improve, position the Remote Commander closer to each A/V component.Check that the programmed A/V components are ready to receive the signals correctly (page 18).If you changed the preset code or programmed remote signals after programming the Component Macro, the new signal will be transmitted when executing the Component Macro.The interval between programmed steps is too short. See “To check the programmed steps of a Component Macro and add a delay action” (page 19) to extend the interval, or change the order of the steps.
The display turns off automatically.The Remote Commander is preset at the factory to turn off the display automatically if you do not operate it for over 30 seconds (automatic-off time). You can change the automatic-off time between 1-60 seconds (page 26).
The set mode closes unexpectedly while setting.The set mode closes if you do not operate the Remote Commander for over 60 seconds. Perform the next step within 60 seconds.
The confirmation beep does not sound.Beep sound is set to off. Set it on (page 27).
The confirmation beep sounds even though beep sound is set to off.A confirmation beep sounds during set mode, even if the beep sound is set to off.
“ ” appears in the screen.The batteries are weak. Replace them with new ones.
The Remote Commander does not enter set mode.If “ ” appears on the screen, the Remote Commander cannot enter into the set mode. Replace the batteries with new ones.
