To cancel the process

Press SET anytime.

Notes

• If you teach a signal to a button, the learned function will remain even after you set a manufacturer's code.
• You cannot teach a simultaneous button operation (for example + ) to the two buttons on the RM-VLZ620T at a time.

In this case, teach the signal to a single button while pressing two buttons on the original remote control at the same time.

To teach an air-conditioner's functions

If you adjust the setting of the air-conditioner according to the season, reset the parameters of the air conditioner's remote control (temperature, air strength and direction, etc.), and teach the new remote signals to the RM-VLZ620T.

When the power button on the remote control for an air-conditioner, etc., toggles between power-on and off with each press, the power-on/off operation may not be learned correctly. In this case, teach the power-on/off signals to two separate buttons on the RM-VLZ620T.

1 Teach the power-on signal to a button (transmit the power-on signal by pressing the power button when the device is turned off).
2 Teach the power-off signal to another button (transmit the power-off signal by pressing the power button when the device is turned on).

The two learned buttons of the RM-VLZ620T now control the power-on/off signals of the device respectively.

Note

Devices such as air conditioners and heaters receiving an infrared signal can be dangerous if misoperated. Be sure to place the RM-VLZ620T out of the reach of small children or pets, and lock the controls using the Hold function (page 26).

Tips for teaching accurately

• Do not move the remote control units during the learning procedure.
• Use new batteries in both remote control units.
• Avoid performing the learning procedure in places subject to direct sunlight, or strong fluorescent light. (Noise may interfere with the learning procedure.)
• The remote control detector area may differ depending on each remote control unit. If the RM-VLZ620T does not learn signals, try changing the positions of the two remote control units.
• When you teach the signals of an interactive signal exchange system remote control unit (supplied with certain Sony's amplifiers) to the RM-VLZ620T, the response signal of the main unit may interfere with the learning of the RM-VLZ620T. In such a case, move to a place where the signals will not reach the main unit (e.g., another room).

If you have problems setting up or using the RM-VLZ620T, first check the batteries (page 8), then check the items below.

Symptom	Remedy
You cannot operate the device.	·Move closer to the device. The maximum operating distance is approximately 11 m. ·Aim the RM-VLZ620T directly at the device. ·Remove any obstacles in the path between the RM-VLZ620T and the device. ·Power on the devices first, if necessary. ·Make sure you have pressed the correct Device Select button. ·Check that the device has infrared remote capability. For example, if your device did not come with a remote control, it probably is not capable of being controlled by the RM-VLZ620T. ·You have assigned a different device to the Device Select button. Check the device assigned to that button and the manufacturer's code.
You cannot control the volume.	·Your video devices (e.g., DVD player) may be connected to an audio system. Change the factory preset of the volume control (page 16).
The Device Select buttons flash at a constant interval when you press a button.	·The batteries are weak. Replace them with new ones.
The SET indicator flashes once and turns off during setting.	·The manufacturer's code cannot be set. Refer to the supplied "Manufacturer's Code List" and set the manufacturer's code again (page 12). ·If no operations are performed for 10 seconds while setting, the setting will be cancelled, and must be restarted from the beginning.
The SET indicator flashes once when you press any button.	·The Hold function is on. Unlock the Hold function (page 26).
You cannot operate the device even after setting the manufacturer's code.	·Set the manufacturer's code correctly. If the first code that is listed does not work, set other codes in the order they are listed in the supplied "Manufacturer's 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 manufacturer's code, then teach the RM-VLZ620T new functions by using the original remote control supplied with the device (page 18). ·The device may be operated with a manufacturer's code that is not listed in the "Manufacturer's Code List." Set a manufacturer's code again with the search function (page 14).
The signals of the remote control supplied with the device cannot be transmitted to the RM-VLZ620T.	·When you teach signals of an interactive signal exchange system remote control unit (supplied with some of Sony's amplifiers) to the RM-VLZ620T, the response signal of the main unit may interfere with the learning of the RM-VLZ620T. In such a case, move to a place where the signals will not reach the main unit (e.g., another room, etc.).
The RM-VLZ620T failed to learn the signals of the remote control supplied with the device.	·Avoid learning in places under direct sunlight or strong fluorescent light. ·Turn off any nearby infrared devices, such as an air-conditioner or headphones. ·Avoid learning near a plasma TV, or turn off the plasma TV while learning. ·When teaching the signals, keep the distance between the RM-VLZ620T and the other remote control about 3 - 8 cm. ·The RM-VLZ620T supports infrared signals only. RF signals or two-way communication signals are not supported. ·The batteries are weak. Use new batteries in both remote control units.
You cannot operate the device even after teaching the RM-VLZ620T.	·Make sure that you teach the RM-VLZ620T the correct signals (page 18). ·The volume, cursor, and some other buttons continue to work when pressed down for some seconds. If you teach the signals of such buttons, the RM-VLZ620T may not learn the signals accurately. Teach the signal by holding down the button on the remote control of the other device. ·The consecutive procedure has been already programmed on the button. Clear the programme (page 26). ·There are no available buttons for teaching. Clear the infrequently used learned functions (page 20), and teach the signals again.
After programming the power-on signal of the device, pressing that Device Select button does not function correctly.	·You have already set a new function or consecutive procedure on the Device Select button. Clear the learned function or programmed procedure. This function is for Sony devices only.
A consecutive procedure does not work properly.	·When you programme a consecutive procedure, make sure to follow the correct steps (pages 24). ·Change the direction the RM-VLZ620T is aimed. If the problem persists, position the programmed devices closer together. ·Remove any obstacles in the path between the RM-VLZ620T and the devices. ·Position the devices back to the way they were before you set a consecutive procedure. ·Some devices may not always be powered on by a consecutive procedure. This is because the power of the device turns on and off alternately when receiving the power on/off signal. In this case, check the operating device's power on/off status beforehand. ·If you change the manufacturer's code or teach a new signal on a button that has been programmed for a consecutive procedure, the new signal will be transmitted when you press the corresponding Device Select button. ·Some devices may not respond to the next signal immediately after the power-on signal. In this case, you can insert an interval by the following means. - Change the button order. - Press the same Device Select button again. Each time you press the button, you can insert an interval (page 26). ·The button has already learned a function. Clear the learned function (page 20). ·Check the status of the device and make sure that you have set the device properly to receive signals.
