Setting the Component Codes
To use this Remote Commander with a Sony brand component that
is already preset at the factory (see the table on the left), you can skip
this procedure.
If you are using other brand's component or if you cannot operate
even a Sony brand component, follow this procedure.
Setting by Entering the Code Number
See the supplied "Component Code Numbers" and find the code for
your component.
1
Set the slide switch to the position that corresponds to the
component to set up.
To set up... Set the slide switch to...
a TV TV
a satellite tuner SAT
2 a VCR VCR or AUX
2
Press the S (set) button.
3
Enter the three-digit component code in the "Component
Code Numbers" table.
For example, to set a Philips' TV, press
4
Press the ... button.
5
Aim this Commander to your component and check if you can
operate it using this Commander.
Go through the same procedure for each component you want to set
up.
If you cannot operate your component...
• First, try repeating these set up procedures using the other codes
listed for your component (see "Component Code Numbers").
• If — after trying all the codes listed for your component — you still
cannot get the Commander to work properly, try the search
method described under "Setting by Searching for the Correct
Code".
Notes
• Be sure to proceed to each next step in the above procedure within 10
seconds; otherwise, the setting mode will be canceled.
• You cannot set up more than one component at a time on each position of the
slide switch. If you want to set up two or more same components of different
brands, see "Setting Another TV, VCR, or Satellite Tuner".
Tip
You can write down the code number on the label inside the battery
compartment lid.
Setting by Searching for the Correct Code
If you've tried all the code numbers listed for your component and
you still cannot get the Commander to work (or if your component
was not listed), try the following.
1
Turn on the component you wish to set up using its power
switch.
2
Set the slide switch on the Remote Commander to the desired
position.
3
Press the S (Set) button.
4
Aim the Commander to your component, and press and release
the PROGR+ button. Then press and release the u button.
5
Repeat step 4 until the correct code number is found.
Each time you press the PROGR+ button and then the u button, a
new code number will be transmitted.
Keep trying until your component operates as follows:
• TV, VCR or satellite tuner : the power turns off.
• TV without a power switch: the Channel + function works.
Be patient as you do this; it may take up to about 100 tries for a
TV, and 70 to 80 tries for other components until the correct code
number is located.
6
When the correct code is found, press the ... button.
7
Turn on the component again, and check that the Commander
can control the other functions of your component such as
channel and volume control.
If the component does not operate properly, repeat steps 3 to 6 and
search for another code.
If you still cannot get the Commander to work properly, see
"Troubleshooting".
.
Note
Be sure to proceed to each next step in the above procedure within 10 seconds;
otherwise setting mode will be canceled.

example, three VCRs), you can set the code number of the
component's type on any empty position of the slide switch of the
Remote Commander (AUX or SAT position only).
1

Troubleshooting

If you're having problems setting up or using the Remote
Commander:
• When setting up the Commander, carefully go through the
procedures described under "Setting the Component Codes". If the
code that's listed first for your component doesn't work, try all the
codes for your component — in the order in which they're listed. If
all the codes fail to work (or if your component is not listed), try
using the procedures under "Setting by Searching for the Correct
Code".
• Check that you're aiming the Commander directly at the
component, and that there are no obstructions between the
