Features

The RM-VZ800T Remote Commander provides centralised control of all your AV components from a single remote commander and saves the trouble of operating different AV components with different remote control devices. The following are its main features.

Centralised control of Sony AV components with this one remote commander

This Commander is preset at the factory to operate Sony brand components, so you can use it out of the box as a control centre for your Sony AV components.

Remote control signals for non-Sony components are also preset

This Commander is preset for most major brands components including Sony. You can remote control your components by setting the type and code number of each component (page 8).

Learning function for programming various other remote control signals

This Commander has a Learning function, to “learn” the remote control signals needed to operate other non-preset components or functions. (To “teach” such signals to this Commander, use the remote control supplied with the non-preset components.) (page 14) In addition, the Commander can “learn” remote control signals (infrared signals only) of non-Audio Visual components such as air-conditioners, lights, etc. (Some specific appliances or functions may not be available.) (page 22)

Reassigning new components

You can assign Component Select buttons to freely operate other components. This is useful when you have more than two of the same kind of AV component (only if a Component Select button is free.) (page 30)

You can only assign TVs to the TV Component Select button.

See "Table of Preset Functions" (page 37) for the functions of buttons for each component.

Note

The remote control signals may be different for some components or functions. In this case, programme the remote control signals with the Learning function (page 14). Note, however, that components and functions that do not support the remote control of infrared signals will not work with this Commander.

To control the volume

Press ▲+/- to control the volume. Press ☐× to mute the sound.

When you select a visual component, the TV's volume will be controlled (TV Component Select button lights up), and when you select an audio component, the amplifier's volume will be controlled (AMP Component Select button lights up). You can change this setting also (page 23).

Notes

• If you used the Learning function (page 14) to programme the ▲+/- or ☒× buttons to send a signal to any other component, that signal will be transmitted instead of the volume or muting of the TV or amplifier when you select that component.
• If you used the Learning function (page 14) to programme the ▲+/- or ☑× buttons for the TV or AMP to send a signal to any other component, that signal will be transmitted only when you select TV or AMP. When you select another component, the preset volume control signals for TV or AMP will be transmitted.
• If you have assigned another component to the TV or AMP buttons (page 30), the volume of the TV or amplifier cannot be controlled even if you select another component.

Notes on operating your components

When you use a double cassette deck

1 If the remote control for your deck has a Deck A/B select control, the ⏻ button on your Commander has the corresponding function.

2 If you cannot select Deck A/B with the ⏻ button, first set the number code for either one of the decks, and

- set the function controls for the other deck to other free buttons (for example, the Number buttons) using the Learning function (page 14),

or

- assign the other deck to another Component Select button (page 30).

Programming Signals of Another Remote Control — Learning Function

To operate components or functions which do not work even if you set a component code number, use the following Learning procedure to "teach" any of the programmable buttons of the Commander to operate the functions of another remote control. You can also use the Learning function to change the signals of individual buttons after setting the component code number (page 8). It is recommended that you make a note of the "learned" key functions. (It is possible to make a note on the back of the supplied "Component code numbers.")

Notes

• Some specific remote control signals may not be "learned."
• You can also use a display monitor for computer display (including a built-in tuner type), if the Commander is "learned."

Example: To programme the ▶ (Play) signal of your video cassette recorder to the VCR ▶ (Play) button of the Commander

1 Place the RM-VZ800T head to head with your component's remote control.

To "teach" another component's remote control signal

After positioning the two remote commanders as in Step 1 on page 14, press the corresponding Component Select button, and then follow Steps 4 and 5 to perform Learning.

7 Press SET to finish setting.

Notes

• If you do not perform Learning steps within 20 seconds at any point during the process, Learning mode ends.
• If you do not perform Step 5 within 10 seconds after Step 4, the learning procedure returns to Step 3. Repeat Step 4 while the Component Select button lights.

To cancel setup, press SET.

If the Commander does not seem to be working

If the "learned" button does not operate properly, "teach" once again. (For example, if the volume becomes very loud after pressing ▲ + only once, noise may have interfered during the Learning procedure.)

If you set a component code after "learning" a signal

If you have programmed any signal on a button by the Learning function, that signal will work even after you set a component code.

Note on the REC ● signal

You can only "teach" to one button at a time. Therefore you cannot teach a sequential button operation (for example REC ● + ▶) to a single button on the Commander. In this case, "teach" the functions of each button on your component to the Commander.

When you "teach" signals to +/- or ✗

- If you used the Learning function to programme the ▲+/- or ☐× buttons to send any signal to components other than the TV or AMP, that signal will be transmitted only by pressing ▲+/- or ☐× when you select that component.

- If you used the Learning function to programme the +/- or × buttons to send any signal to the TV or AMP, that signal will be transmitted only after you select TV or AMP. When you select other components, the "learned" signal will be transmitted.

To "teach" the signals for an air-conditioner

See "Notes on programming the signals for an air-conditioner" on page 22.

For accurate Learning

• Do not move the remote units during the Learning procedure.
• Be sure to keep holding down the "learning" button until your Commander reacts as described.
• Use fresh batteries in both remote units.
• Avoid Learning in places subject to direct sunlight or a strong fluorescent light. (Noise may interfere during the Learning procedure.)
• The remote control detector area may differ depending on each remote unit. If Learning does not work, try changing the positions of the two remote control units.
• When you teach signals of an interactive signal exchange system remote control unit (supplied with some of Sony's amplifiers) to the Commander, the response signal of the main unit may interfere with the learning of the Commander. In such a case, move to a place where the signals will not reach the main unit (e.g. other rooms, etc.).

IMPORTANT

Be sure to place the Commander out of the reach of small children or pets, and lock the controls using the Hold function (page 32). Components such as air conditioners, heaters, electric appliances, and electric shutters or curtains receiving an infrared signal can be dangerous if misused.

Programming Signals of Another Remote Control — Learning Function (continued)

Programming remote control signals to the Component Select buttons

You can "teach" one operating procedure to a Component Select button, so that when you press the Component Select button, the operation is also automatically done.

For example, if it is necessary to switch the input selection of an amplifier to DVD when you use a DVD player, "teach" an input select signal to the DVD button. After "learning," the input selection of an amplifier is automatically switched to DVD just by pressing DVD. (For this operation, an amplifier should first be turned on.)

Example: To "teach" the DVD input remote control signal of your amplifier to the DVD Component Select button of the Commander

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 Commander.

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

If the 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 Commander as follows.

1 Clear the "learned" power-on/off signal on the programmed button of the Commander.
2 Reprogramme only the power-on signal of the air-conditioner on the button of the Commander by following the steps of "Programming Signals of Another Remote Control-Learning Function" (page 14).
3 Programme the power-off signal of the air-conditioner on another button of the Commander.

The two buttons of the 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 Commander.

Controlling the Volume of Visual Components Connected to an Audio System

The Commander is factory preset based on the assumption that you hear the sound of your visual components from your TV speakers, and that you hear sound of your audio components from the loudspeakers connected to your amplifier.

For example, to control the volume while using a VCR, you don't need to press the TV button to control the TV volume.

The following table shows the factory setting of which volume would be controlled for each component.

Component Select button	Controls the volume of
TV	TV
VCR	TV
SAT	TV
DVD	TV
AMP	amplifier

However, if your visual components are connected to an audio system, you may want to hear TV or VCR sound from the loudspeakers via your amplifier, not from your TV speakers. In this case, you need to change the factory preset so that you can control the volume of your visual components without first having to switch to the amplifier.

To change the Factory Preset of the Volume Control

1 Press and while holding SET, press MENU. All Component Select buttons flash.

Notes

• If you used the Learning function to programme the ▲+/- or ☐× buttons to send a signal to a component, the procedure above will not change the function of the ▲+/- and ☐× buttons.
• If you set a Learning function for sending an amplifier's volume control signal on a Component Select button other than TV, the priority of sending the signal is also set as follows from highest to lowest priority: AMP button→VCR button→SAT button→DVD button. For example, if you "teach" the AMP button and the VCR button to send the amplifier's volume signal, when you adjust the volume, the signals on AMP button are sent to the amplifier first. If you "teach" the AMP button to send signals of other than for an amplifier, the signals are sent to the amplifier from the VCR button.

Adding an Extra Function to the Component Select Buttons

Programming the Power-On command of the selected component just by pressing that Component Select button (for Sony components only)

When using Sony components, you can programme the Power-On signal for each component on a Component Select button. You can select the desired component and power it on by just pressing that Component Select button.

Example: To programme the TV button

1 Press and while holding SET, press MENU.

All Component Select buttons flash.

2 While holding ⏻ pressed, press the desired Component Select button. When you first press ⏻, only the Component Select buttons that have already been set with the Power-On command light up.

Example: If the Power-On command has been programmed on the VCR and DVD buttons, these buttons light up when you first press ⏻.

graph TD
    A["TV"] --> B["VCR"]
    B --> C["SAT"]
    C --> D["DVD"]
    D --> E["AMP"]
    F["Power"] --> G["Down Arrow"]
    G --> H["Power"]
    I["Power"] --> J["Down Arrow"]
    J --> K["Power"]

To cancel setting, press SET.

To clear the Power-On command

Repeat the same procedure, pressing the desired Component Select button that lights up when you press ⏻.

Notes

• If the component code of a non-Sony brand has been set on a Component Select button, you cannot programme the Power-On function on it. If you change the component code (page 8) after setting the Power-On function, the Power-On function is cleared. (The Component Select button flashes twice to indicate that you cannot set this function.)
• Even if you used the Learning function (page 14) to programme a signal on a Component Select button, you can programme the Power-On function on that button but it cannot be used. If you clear the "learned" function on that button, you can use the Power-On function.

Executing a Series of Commands — System Control Functions

With the System Control function, you can programme a series of operating commands, and execute them by pressing just one button. You can programme up to 16 consecutive operation steps on each of the SYSTEM CONTROL buttons (A - D).

If you have set the System Control function for a Component Select button (page 29), the execution of the programmed commands begins when you press the Component Select button for more than 2 seconds.

When executing the programmed commands, each remote commander signal is transmitted.

Example: when you watch a video, and you can set a series of operations you want to set as follows:

graph TD
    A["Power on the TV."] --> B["Power on the video (VCR)."]
    B --> C["Power on the amplifier."]
    C --> D["Set the input selector of the amplifier to VIDEO 1."]
    D --> E["Set the input mode of the TV to VIDEO 1."]
    E --> F["Start video playback."]

Example: To programme the procedure above to the SYSTEM CONTROL B button

1 Press and while holding SET, press the SYSTEM CONTROL B button.

The SET indicator light turns on.

If a System Control function (System Control Macro) has already been set on the button, the SET indicator flashes twice. The setting procedure is automatically cancelled.

2 Set the System Control function.

With this example, press buttons in sequence as below:

graph TD
    A["Hand with finger icon"] --> B["Icon: Power Pulse"]
    B --> C["Hand with finger icon"] --> D["Icon: Power Pulse"]
    D --> E["Hand with finger icon"] --> F["AMP TV"]
    F --> G["Hand with finger icon"] --> H["Icon: Power Pulse"]
    H --> I["Hand with finger icon"] --> J["VIDEO 1"]
    J --> K["Hand with finger icon"] --> L["Hand with finger icon"]
    L --> M["Hand with finger icon"] --> N["VCR"]
    N --> O["Hand with finger icon"] --> P["Video 1"]

You can programme up to 16 consecutive steps on each of the SYSTEM CONTROL buttons (A - D), including the first step to select a Component Select button.

3 Press SET to complete the programming.

The SYSTEM CONTROL button light turns off.

To programme a new series of operations for those buttons which already have a control programme have already been set

Erase the programme (page 28).

Notes

- If you interrupt the procedure at any point for over 20 seconds, the setting mode ends and the series of commands will be programmed up to that point. In this case, clear the programme (page 28) and start again from Step 1 to set the entire program from the beginning. You cannot continue programming once the setting mode ends.

- If a SYSTEM CONTROL button has already "learned" a remote control signal (page 14), you can programme a System Control function (System Control Macro), but the function will not work until you clear the Leaning function. To clear the Learning function, see "Changing or erasing the function of a "learned" button" on page 20.

- If you change the component code number (page 8) or programme a new signal by using the Learning function (page 14) on a key or a button that has been programmed with a series of commands of using the System Control function, the new signal will be transmitted when you press the corresponding SYSTEM CONTROL button.

- While in setting mode, you cannot clear any operation step you have programmed. If you have programmed an incorrect operation by mistake, start again from Step 1.

- If you try to programme more than 16 steps, the System Control setting mode ends, and the 16 steps you have programmed are registered. If you want to programme the steps again, clear the programme (page 28) and start again from Step 1.

Executing a Series of Commands — System Control Functions (continued)

Tips for programming the System Control functions

The following information helps you to programme a consecutive operation steps.

About the order of operation steps

Some of the components may not accept consecutive remote control signals. For example, some TVs generally may not respond to the next signal right after the Power-on signal. So, a series of commands such as TV Power-on and input select may not work properly.

In this case, insert other signals to other components like such as in the example below:

TV Power-on→VCR Power-on→ VCR playback→TV input select

Changing the interval between operation steps

While you are setting a programme, you can insert a 0.4 second interval before the next step is executed by pressing the same Component Select button again. In the example above, if you press AMP→①→AMP→1 in Step 2, you can insert a 0.4 second interval after the AMP power-on signal is transmitted.

To clear programmed commands

1 Press and while holding SET, press and hold for more than 3 seconds the SYSTEM CONTROL button you want to clear.

Programming a Series of Commands on the Component Select Buttons

As with the SYSTEM CONTROL buttons, you can also programme a series of operating commands for the Component Select buttons (up to 16 steps).

To execute the commands programmed on a Component Select button by the System Control function, press the button for more than 2 seconds.

Notes

• When you press the button for less than 2 seconds, it works as a normal Component Select button, and the programmed function does not work.
• See also "Tips for programming the System Control functions" on page 28.

Example: To programme the procedure on page 26 for the VCR Component Select button

1 Press and while holding SET, press the VCR Component Select button. The SET indicator and the VCR Component Select button lights turn on.

If a Control Programme function (Component Macro) has already been set on the button, the button flashes twice. The setting procedure is automatically cancelled.

2 Set the Control Programme function.

With this example, press the buttons in sequence as below:

graph TD
    A["TV"] --> B["Power Icon"]
    B --> C["VCR"]
    C --> D["Power Icon"]
    D --> E["AMP"]
    E --> F["Power Icon"]
    F --> G["VIDEO 1"]
    G --> H["1"]
    H --> I["TV"]
    I --> J["AMP"]
    J --> K["VCR"]
    K --> L["+/-"]

You can programme up to 16 consecutive steps on each of the Component Select buttons, including the first step to select a Component Select button.

3 Press SET to complete the programming.

The VCR Component Select button light turns off.

Programming a Series of Commands on the Component Select Buttons (continued)

To clear programmed commands

1 Press and while holding SET, press and hold for more than 3 seconds the Component Select button you want to clear.

Notes

• You can programme a Control Programme function (Component Macro) for a Component Select button on which the Power-On function (page 25) has been programmed. In this case, the Power-On function is executed when you press the Component Select button, or when you select another component while the consecutive Control Programme is being executed.
• If the procedure is interrupted at any point for over more than 20 seconds, the setting mode ends and the series of commands will be programmed up to that point. In this case, clear the programme (page 30) and start again from Step 1 to set the entire programme from the beginning. You cannot continue programming once the setting mode ends.
• If a Component Select button has already “learned” a remote control signal (page 14), you can programme a Control Programme function (Component Macro), but the function will not work until you clear the “Learned” Function. To clear the “Learned” Function, see “Changing or erasing the function of a “learned” button” on page 20.
• While you are setting a programme, you can insert a 0.4 second interval before the next step is executed by pressing the same Component Select button again. In the example above, if you press AMP ⏻ AMP 1 in Step 2, you can insert a 0.4 second interval after the AMP power-on signal is transmitted.

Assigning Other Components to the Component Select Buttons

You can assign another component to any of the Component Select buttons not being used.

Once if you set a Component Select button to a different type of component, the entered component's code number becomes effective.

Notes

• To use the original component setting, set the component code number again (page 8).
• If you enter a new brand's component code number without clearing the previous "learned" functions on that Component Select button, the "learned" functions remain effective. Erase the functions you do not use frequently.
• You can only assign TVs to the TV Component Select button.

Copying the settings of a Component Select button to another button

You can copy the entire settings of a Component Select button to another Component Select button. The settings of the component code (page 8) and the "learned" function (page 14) are copied to a new button.

Example: To copy the settings of the DVD button to the SAT button

1 Press and while holding SET, press MENU. All Component Select buttons flash.

2 Press and hold for over 3 seconds the desired Component Select button to which you want to copy a setting from another Component Select button.

While holding down this button, the other Component Select buttons flash. Then, when you press the Component Select button which holds the setting you want to copy, all Component Select buttons light up. When copying is complete, any Component Select buttons other than the two buttons pressed, turn off.

graph TD
    A["TV"] --> B["for over 3 seconds"]
    C["VCR"] --> B
    D["SAT"] --> B
    E["DVD"] --> B
    F["AMP"] --> B

    L --> Q["TV"]
    L --> R["VCR"]
    L --> S["SAT"]
    L --> T["DVD"]
    L --> U["AMP"]

To cancel setting, press SET.

Notes

• You cannot copy the settings to a Component Select button on which any "learned" function (page 14) has been programmed.
• Since you can only operate a TV using the TV Component Select button, and you cannot copy other Component Select button settings (other than for a TV) to the TV Component Select button.
• You cannot copy the Control Programme function (Component Macro) to another Component Select button.

To return the setting of the Component Select button to the original component setting

Clear the "learned" function (page 20) and perform the original component setting following the procedure on page 31.

Locking the Controls — Hold Function

To prevent accidental operation, you can lock all the buttons with the Hold function.

1 Press and while holding ⏻, press ⬇ and PROGR +.

The SET indicator and all the Component Select buttons flash once, and the Hold function is set.

While the Hold function is on, no function can be operated. (The SET indicator and all the Component Select buttons flash twice.)

To unlock the control

Press and while holding ⏻, press ⏱ and PROGR –.

The SET indicator and all the Component Select buttons flash once, and the Hold function is cleared.

Erasing All Settings — To reset the Commander to its factory settings

You can erase all remote control signals programmed by the "learned" function to reset the Commander to its factory settings.

1 While holding ⏻ pressed, press ⭕ and ▲-.

The SET indicator and all Component Select buttons light up. Then the Component Select buttons turn off one by one from the left, followed by the SET indicator. When the SET indicator turns off at last, all settings are cleared, and Commander returns to its original state.

Precautions

• Do not drop the unit or give a shock to the unit, or it may cause a malfunction.
• Do not leave the unit in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or sand, moisture, rain or mechanical shock.
• Do not put foreign objects into the unit. Should any liquid or solid object fall into the unit, have it checked by qualified personnel before operating the unit any further.
• Do not expose the remote control detectors of your components to direct sunlight or other strong illumination. Too much light there can interfere with remote control operations.
• Be sure to place the Commander out of the reach of small children or pets. Components such as air conditioners, heaters, electric appliances, and electric shutters or curtains receiving an infrared signal can be dangerous if misused.

Maintenance

Clean the surface with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water or a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of solvent such as alcohol, benzene or thinner as they may damage the finish of the surface.

Troubleshooting

If you have problems setting up or using the Remote Commander, first check the batteries (page 6), then check the items below.

Symptom	Remedy
You cannot operate the components.	Go closer to the component. The maximum operating distance is approximately 10 m. (32.8 ft).Check that you are aiming the Commander directly at the component, and that there are no obstructions between the Commander and the component.Power on the components first, if necessary.Make sure you have pressed the correct Component Select button. In case of SAT or DVD, make sure the desired component is selected.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 on the Component Select button. Check the component assigned to that button and the component code.
You cannot control the volume.	If your visual components are connected to an audio system, make sure you've set up the Commander as described in "Controlling the Volume of Visual Components Connected to an Audio System" (page 23).You have assigned another component on the TV or AMP button (page 30). In this case, the volume cannot be controlled when you select components other than TV or AMP.
The Component Select buttons flash by a constant interval when you press a button.	Batteries are weakened.Replace them with new ones.
You cannot operate the components even after setting the component code numbers.	Set the component code correctly. If the code that is listed first for your component doesn't work, try all the codes for your component in the order in which they are listed in the supplied "Component code numbers."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 14).The component may be operated with a code number that is not listed in the "Component code numbers." See "Setting a Component Code by the Search Function" (page 11) and try setting a code number again with the Search function.
The Commander fails to learn the remote control signals.	When you teach signals of an interactive signal exchange system remote control unit (supplied with some of Sony's amplifiers) to the Commander, the response signal of the main unit may interfere with the learning of the Commander. In such a case, move to a place where the signals will not reach the main unit (e.g. other rooms, 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 "For accurate Learning" (page 17) and try the Learning procedure again (page 14).
The SET indicator flashes five times during the Learning procedure.	Learning has not succeeded. See “For accurate Learning” (page 17) and try the Learning procedure again (page 14).There are no available buttons for “learning.” Clear infrequently used Learned functions (page 20), then carry out learning operations.
A Component Select button flashes five times during setting.	The component codes cannot be set. See the supplied “Component code numbers” and try setting the component codes again (page 8).
The SET indicator flashes twice during the Learning procedure.	A selected Component Select button or another button to be set has any remote control signals programmed by Learning function (page 14). Clear the “learned” signals (page 20) or select another button which has no “learned” signals, and try setting again.
All Component Select buttons flash twice.	The Hold function is on. Unlock the Hold function (page 32).
After programming the Power-On command of a component, the Component Select button does not function correctly.	A Learning function has already been set on the Component Select button. If a Learning function has been set (page 14), you can programme the Power-On function on the Component Select button (page 25) but the Power-On setting will not work until you clear the “learned” function. Erase the “learned” function after the setting the Power-On function. This function is for the Sony components only.
The System Control function or Control Programme function does not work properly.	When you programme a System Control function or Control Programme function, make sure to follow the correct steps (pages 26, 29).Change the direction the Remote Commander is aimed. If the problem persists, position the programmed components closer together.If the remote control receivers of the components are too far apart, or if something is blocking the signals between them, some of the components may not operate in sequence even after you press the programmed button. If some of the components do not operate correctly because of the above or any other reason, position the components back to the way they were before you set the System Control function or Control Programme function. Failure to do this can result in incorrect operation when you use these functions again.Some components may not always be powered on by the System Control function or Control Programme function. This is because the power of the component turns on and off alternately when receiving the power on/off signal. In this case, check the operating component’s power on/off state before using the System Control function.If you change the AV brands’ component code number (page 8) set on a Component Select button that has been programmed for a series of commands by the Control Programme function, the new signal will be transmitted when you press the corresponding Component Select button.The intervals between steps may be too short. Depending on the components, you may need to insert an interval between consecutive controls. You can insert an interval by changing the order of pressing the buttons. (You can insert an interval between steps when programming the Component Select button.)If a SYSTEM CONTROL button or a Component Select button has already “learned” a remote control signal (page 14), you can programme a System Control function (System Control Macro) or a Control Programme function (Component Macro), but the function will not work until you clear the Learned Function. To clear the Learned function, see “Changing or erasing the function of a “learned” button” on page 20.
