Before You Use the Commander

Understanding the 2 way remote system

This commander operates under a 2 way remote system. 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.

graph LR
    A["Commander"] <--> B["Component"]

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 receiver/amplifier.

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

Special Remarks

■ About the LCD

Depending on the brightness of the room and the angle at which the commander is viewed, the LCD may be difficult to see. When this occurs, changing the angle of the commander or adjusting the CONTRAST of the LCD may make the LCD easier to see. When fingerprints (etc.) get on the LCD, wipe the LCD with a soft, dry cloth. It is recommended to use the touch pen supplied with the commander.

■ About batteries

Life span of the batteries

This commander is different from conventional remotes in that it makes use of a large LCD and is capable of 2 way communication. Because of this, the batteries become exhausted more quickly than with conventional remotes.

Under normal conditions, the batteries should last approximately 2.5 months*. However, depending on how the remote is used and the initial voltage of the batteries, the actual period of use may be shorter or longer than that mentioned above.

* This value is based on 60 key operations a day with the backlight on. If the backlight is turned off, the batteries should last much longer. In order to extend the life of the batteries, it is recommended to keep the backlight off when operating the commander in a well lit area.

Preparations

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 a receiver/amplifier and AV components connected to the receiver/amplifier.

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 (see page 24).

Note

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

Functions

This unit is a 2 way remote commander. Not only does it transmit infrared rays for operation of the receiver/amplifier, it also receives infrared rays emitted by the receiver/amplifier to display characters and other information from components connected to the receiver/amplifier with a CONTROL A1 cord.

Preparing the Commander

Please be sure to carry out the procedures described in "Setting up the commander" on page 6 after inserting the batteries.

Inserting batteries into the commander

Insert the four size-AA (LR6) alkaline batteries (for commander operation) and the lithium battery (for preservation of the commander's internal memory).

Notes

  • Disc titles and song titles downloaded from the CD changer are memorized in the commander. The lithium battery is used for preservation of this memory. If the unit is used with an exhausted battery, the settings memorized in the commander will be erased. Please replace the battery as soon as the “Battery Low” message appears.
  • Replace the alkaline batteries with new batteries as soon as their charge is exhausted. If the unit is used with exhausted batteries, exhaustion of the lithium battery used to maintain memory will be quickened and the memorized settings may be erased.
  • The life span of batteries may be shortened depending on the conditions in which the commander is used.
  • If the alkaline batteries and lithium battery become exhausted at the same time, replace the alkaline batteries first. Replacing the lithium battery first will erase the data memorized in the commander.
  • When replacing the alkaline batteries, always replace all 4 batteries with new ones.
  • After replacing batteries, be sure to carry out touch panel adjustment (page 6).

Additional information

Precautions during use

On installment

Do not drop the commander or subject it to strong vibration as this could cause damage.

On the touch pen

Use only the touch pen provided with this unit or the soft tip of your finger to operate the touch panel. Using a commercially available writing utensil may damage the panel and make correct operation impossible. If the tip of the touch pen is damaged, or the touch pen is lost, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

On battery life

When the backlight is not necessary, do not press BACK LIGHT/COMMANDER OFF to turn on the LCD. Touch the touch panel to turn on just the LCD. The life of the battery will be prolonged. The life of the battery may be shortened depending on the conditions in which the commander is used.

On handling

The touch panel (display section) is made of glass. Twisting the touch panel, dropping the unit, placing your elbow (etc.) on it, or placing heavy objects on top of it, may break the touch panel and cause bodily harm due to glass fragments.

On cleaning

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use solvent such as thinner, benzine, or alcohol as these will damage the surface of the commander.

Troubleshooting

If you experience any of the following difficulties while using the commander, use this troubleshooting guide to help you remedy the problem. Should any problem persist, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Operation can not be done with the commander.

→ Check that the receiver/amplifier and components are connected correctly.
→ The commander and receiver/amplifier are too far apart.
→ Make sure that there are no objects between the commander and receiver/amplifier.
→ Make sure that the receiver/amplifier's power is turned on.
The commander's transmitter/receiver section is not pointed at the receiver/amplifier.
The commander's batteries are exhausted. Replace with new alkaline batteries (see page 7).
→ There is an inverter system florescent light near the commander or receiver/amplifier. Please place away from the florescent light.
→ Make sure you have selected the correct function on the remote.
→ When you operate a programmed non-Sony component, the remote may not function properly depending on the make and model of the component.

The receiver/amplifier's functions and modes do not correlate with the displays on the commander.

→ Initial communication setup has not been done. Use after first carrying out initial communication setup (see page 6).
→ The commander was not pointed at the receiver/amplifier when it was turned ON. Touch RELOAD, and download component data (see page 8).
→ Select the correct function using the commander.

LCD does not appear.

→ The LCD is not turned on. Touch the touch panel.
→ Contrast is too light or too dark.
Use the CONTRAST control to adjust the contrast of the LCD (see page 6).

When a CD player, tape deck, or MD deck is connected to the receiver/amplifier via CONTROL A1Ⅱ jacks, Auto Function does not work properly.

→ Reprogram the remote (see page 30).

The SOUND FIELD function does not work.

→ If the receiver/amplifier has the 5.1 INPUT jacks, the SOUND FIELD function becomes inoperable whenever you select the component connected to the jacks.

Commands of components made by manufacturers other than Sony do not function.

→ When registering components made by certain manufacturers, some commands may not function even though they are displayed.

"5.1 INPUT" cannot be selected from the function screen even though the receiver/amplifier has the 5.1 INPUT jacks.

→ A communication error has occurred. Point the remote towards the receiver/amplifier and select "5.1INPUT" from the function screen again.
