Features

The RM-AV3000T Remote Commander
provides centralized 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.

Customizing 258 labels of control
keys in the dot matrix

LCD with dot matrix makes label
customizing possible. A total of 258 labels
on the LCD, such as component labels,
macro labels, etc., can be customized. A
label of up to 8 letters with digits,
characters or symbols can be selected and
displayed.

Control of 18 components

Control of a maximum of 18 components
(TV, STB, VCR, DVD, CD, AMP, etc.) is
possible.
Components are selectable with 6
buttons on the Commander for the
components frequently used and 12 keys
on the LCD (displayed by pressing the
OTHER button). Component Select
buttons of light storage type are easy-to­operate and visible in the dark.

Setting a maximum of 45 macro
commands of a maximum of 32
successive steps

A maximum of 45 macro commands
which provide a maximum of 32
successive steps by pressing a single
button can be set (15 system control
macros, 18 component macros, and 12
timer macros). Macro execution speed is
changeable. All power on/off macro
commands for Sony components are
preset at the factory.

Clock display and timer function

Using a maximum of 12 timer macros,
timer control of automatic on/off and other
controls (such as recording, stopping, etc.)
of each component are possible.

Centralized 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 their code numbers (page 12).

Learning function for programming
other remote control signals you need

This Commander has a learning function,
to learn remote control signals to operate
non-preset components or functions
(page 19).
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 49).

Channel macro function allows you
to select a programme position with
a single key

Up to 5 key steps can be programmed on
macro keys (Label keys). If you set the
key operations for entering a programme
position number on a macro key, you can
select the programme position by
pressing that macro key (page 58).

Easy-to-operate touch key LCD with
blue back light

This Commander has a touch key LCD that
changes the key display according to the
selected component. The Commander is
easy to operate as only the keys necessary
to operate the selected component are
displayed. The display backlight allows
operation even in the dark.

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 (see page 19). 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 the 2 +/– buttons to control the
volume, and the % button to mute.
When you select a visual component, the
TV’s volume will be controlled, and

amplifier’s volume will be controlled.
You can change this setting also (page

29).

Notes

• If you have programmed any signal for the

2 or % button for any component using the
learning function (page 19), that signal will
be transmitted instead of controlling the
volume of the TV or amplifier once you select
that component.

• If you have programmed any signal for the
2 +/– buttons or the % button of TV or
AMP using the learning function, that signal
will be also transmitted when you select
another component. However, if you have
programmed any signal for the 2 +/–
buttons or the % button of another
component, that signal will be transmitted
only after you select that component.

• If you have assigned another component to
the TV or AMP button, the volume of the TV
or amplifier cannot be controlled even when
you select other components.

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 receivers and
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.).

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.

This feature enables you to control the
volume of your TV or amplifier without
having to select TV or AMP each time
you want to control the volume.
For example, to control the volume while
using a VCR, you don’t need to press the
TV button to control the TV volume.
You can switch the volume of all the
visual components to the amplifier at the
same time.

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

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.

Notes

• If you have already programmed any signal
for the 2 or % button of each component by
“learning,” the procedure above will not
change the function of the 2 and % buttons.

• If you have programmed volume control
signals on 2 or % buttons of TV or AMP,
you can only use that signal when you select
TV or AMP. For other component, the preset
volume control signals for TV or AMP
(depending on the above setting procedure)
will be transmitted. To use the new signals,
you need to programme each button for each
component by the learning procedure (page

20).

Example:

1 Turn on the TV.
2 Turn on the video (VCR).
3 Turn on the amplifier.
4 Set the input selector of the amplifier

to VIDEO 1.

5 Set the input mode of the TV to VIDEO.
6 Start video playback

You can programme up to 32 consecutive
operation steps to each of the SYSTEM
CONTROL buttons (1-3) or the Label
keys (SYSTEM 4-15).
If you have set the System Control
function for a Component Select button
or a Label key (page 38), the execution of
the programmed commands begins
when you press the Component Select
button for more than 2 seconds.
The component macro executing time is
variable by changing the setting (page 42).
While executing the programmed

(continued)

Notes

• If you interrupt the procedure at any point
for over 2 minutes, the setting mode ends
and the series of commands will be
programmed to that point. In this case, clear
the programme (page 35) and start again
from Step 1 to set the entire programme from
the beginning. You cannot continue from
where you left off.

• If a SYSTEM CONTROL button or a Label
key has already “learned” a remote control
signal (page 49), “NG” flashes and you
cannot programme on this button. Clear the
learned contents first (page 51).

•If you change the component code number
(page 12) or programme a new signal by
learning (page 19) on a key or button that has
been programmed in the series of commands
of the System Control function, the new
signal will be transmitted when you press the
corresponding SYSTEM CONTROL button or
a Label key.

• During programming of a series of operating
commands, the DEL key is not displayed and
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 32 steps, the
System Control setting finishes, and the 32 steps
you have programmed are registered. If you
want to programme again, clear the programme
(page 35) and start again from Step 1.

• When programming a power-on command
for the System Control function, if you select
the Component Select button or the Label key
for which you programmed the Power-on
setting (page 43), the Power-on setting is also
available. So, the power of the selected
component turns off if the POWER1 key of
the component is programmed.
In this case, clear the Power-on setting, or do
not programme the POWER1 key of the
component.

About the interval between
operation steps

• You can change the interval between
operation steps (page 40).

• If you cannot receive signals successfully
during consecutive operation steps, programme
the interval between steps by pressing the
TIMER button between operation steps in Step
6 on page 33. This operation of programming an

34

interval is counted also as a step.

To change the display of the
component name on the Mode
Display key

When you programme a series of
operating commands, you can change the
display of the component name to the
most suitable name using up to 8
characters or digits.

After Step 3 (page 32), hold the Mode
Display key pressed for more than 2
seconds. Then follow the same procedure
as that for changing the name of the
Label key in “To change the display of
the Label key,” Steps 2 - 5 on page 24.
If you press the CLEAR key, the Label
key returns to the previous display.

About the order of operation steps

• Some of the components may not accept
consecutive remote control signals. For
example, a TV generally does not react to
next signal right after the Power-on signal.
So, a series of commands such as TV Power­on and input select may not work properly.
In this case, insert other signals like the
example below;

TV Power-on t VCR Power-on
t VCR play back t TV input select

• After the series of input commands is
executed, the Commander displays the
touch-keys of the component in the final step.
By programming an often-used component’s
command as the final step, you can save the
step of pressing a Component Select button
or a Label key when you start operating that
component. (In the example on page 33, the
touch-keys of TV are displayed.)

• If a series of commands is programmed for
the Component Select button or the Label
keys (page 38), the display of that component
is shown after the programme is executed.

Notes on System Control Operations

•If the remote control detectors of the
components are too far apart, or if
something is blocking them, some of
the components may not operate
consecutively even after you press the
SYSTEM CONTROL button or a Label
key.

•If some of the components did not
operate correctly because of the above
or for any other reason, always set all
the components back to the states they
were in before you pressed the SYSTEM
CONTROL button or a Label key.
Failure to do this can result in incorrect
operation when you press the SYSTEM
CONTROL button or a Label key again.

•Some components may not always be
powered on by the System Control
function. This is because the power of
the component goes on and off
alternatively 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.

• Even if you have programmed a signal by
“learning” (See “Adding a command that is

required when selecting a component”, page

45) or a System Control function (page 38) for
a Component Select button or a Label key,
you can programme the Power-On function
for that button, but it cannot be used. If you
clear a “learned” signal or the System Control
function from the button or key, you can use
the Power-On function.

• You can programme a signal by “learning”
(page 45) or a System Control function (page

38) for a Component Select button for which
the Power-On function has been
programmed. In this case, the Power-On
function is overwritten and cannot be used. If
you clear the “learned” signal or the System
Control function from the button or key, the
Power-On function is resumed, and you can
use it again.

• You can set the learning function (page 46) or
the System Control function (page 31) to the
Component Select button or the Label key for
which you programmed the Power-on signal.
In this case, the Power-on setting is also
available and the Power-on signal is output.
So check the setting of Power-on signal
before setting the learning function or the
System Control function.

Adding a command that is required when selecting a component

In addition to the original function of
selecting the operating keys and buttons
of the desired component, the
Component Select button or the Label
key can have another remote control
signal by “learning.”
For example, if you always have to
change input select of the amplifier to CD
when listening to the CD player,
programme the signal of “changing the
amplifier’s input select” to the CD button
of this Commander. Then whenever you
press the CD button, it automatically
works as the original CD Component
Select button and changes also the
amplifier input select to CD. (In this case,
the amplifier should be turned on first.)

Notes on learning the signals of an air-conditioner

About seasonal adjustments

If you change the settings of the air­conditioner 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

The air-conditioner may not be turned on
or off properly with the button or key of
this Commander, for which you have
programmed its power-on/off signal.
If the Commander can operate only
“ON” with one button or key and “OFF”
with another, while your air­conditioner’s remote control can operate
“ON/OFF” with a single button or key,
programme the signal on two buttons or
keys of the Commander as follows.

1 Clear the learned power-on/off signal.

(In the example on page 51, clear the
learned signal from the SYSTEM
CONTROL 2 button.)

2 Programme the signal (transmitted

from the power-on/off button of the
air-conditioner’s remote control) for
the SYSTEM CONTROL 2 button
again.

3 Programme the signal from the same

button of the remote control for
another button or key (for example,
the SYSTEM CONTROL 3 button).

The two buttons or keys of the
Commander have been programmed
with the power-on signal and the power­off signal of the air-conditioner,
respectively so that you can operate the
air-conditioner with the Commander.

Troubleshooting

If you have problems setting up or using the Remote Commander, first check the
batteries (page 7), then check the items below.

Symptom

You cannot operate the
components.

You cannot operate the
components even after
setting the component
code numbers.

You cannot control the
volume.

The Commander fails to
learn the remote control
signals.

You cannot operate a
component even after
you programmed the
remote control signals
with the “learning”
function.

Remedy

• Go closer to the component. The maximum operating distance is
approximately 32.8 ft. (10 m).

• Check that you are aiming the Commander directly at the component,
and that there are no obstructions between the Commander and the
component.

• Turn on the component first, if necessary.

• 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 Label key. A corresponding component is fixed by presetting
a component code number. Therefore, the name of component you have
preset may be different from that of the Component Select button or the
Label key. In this case, it is recommended to preset again (page 12) and
change the component name on the Mode Display key or the name of
the Label key (page 23, 24).

• 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 keys 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 19).

• 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 29).

• You have assigned another component to the TV or AMP button (page
45, 46). In this case, the volume cannot be controlled when you select a
component other than TV or AMP.

• When you teach signals of an interactive signal exchange system remote
control unit (supplied with some of Sony’s receivers and 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.).

• Make sure that the Remote Commander has learned the correct signals.
If not, see “For accurate learning” (page 25) and try the learning
procedure again (page 19).

84

Symptom

“NG” flashes five times.

“NG” flashes twice.

Remedy

• Leaning has not succeeded. After checking the follows, try learning
procedure again (page 19).

- Change the distance between remote commanders.

- See “For accurate learning” (page 25).

• The component codes cannot be set. See the supplied “Component
Code Numbers” and try setting the component codes again (page 12).

• The data have not been transferred. See “Transferring data” (page 52)
and try transferring the data again.

• The data has not been received. See “Receiving the data” (page 56) and
try receiving the data again.

• Learned signals have been programmed for the button or key to which you
want to set the learning, System Control or Channel Macro function. Clear
the learned signals (page 35, 60) and try setting again.

• Learned signals or the Channel Macro function have been programmed for
the Component Select button or the Label key to which you want to copy
the settings of another Component Select button or the Label key using the
copying function (page 47). Clear the contents (page 25, 60) and try the
copying procedure again.

• The key for which you want to programme the Channel Macro function is
not a Channel Macro key. You can programme the Channel Macro function
only for the Label keys.

• You may try to clear the learned signals in the Channel Macro setting mode
(page 60). In this mode, only Channel Macro settings can be cleared by
pressing the macro key while keeping the DEL key pressed. To clear the
learned signals, see page 46.

• Learned signals have been programmed for the Label key to which you
want to set the Channel Macro function. Clear the learned signals (page 25)
and try setting again. Or set to another Label key.

• There are some keys, for which learned signals have been programmed, on
the display for the Component Select button or the Label key when the
Commander receives the data from another Commander. Clear the learned
signals using the CLEAR key and the RETURN key on the display of the
receiving mode (page 56). Or see “Changing or erasing the function of a
taught key or button” (page 25), and clear the learned signals.

• The programme contents you want to change are set to be executed by the
timer. Set the timer setting in which that programme is included not to be
executed (page 65), and edit the programme contents.

• You may try to programme the Power-On function (page 43) for a
Component Select button or the Label key to which the component code of
a non-Sony product has been set. This function is only for Sony
components.

• You may try to operate the preset function (page 12) after operating the
learning function (page 19). You cannot operate the preset function after
operationg the learning function. Preset after clearing the learned signals
(page 25), or preset to another Component Select button or Label key that is
not used.

Troubleshooting (continued)

Symptom

“NG” appears during
learning.

“NG” flashes if you try to
copy the settings of the
Component Select button
or the Label key to another
Component Select button
or Label key.

A system control
programme does not
function correctly.

Your Commander does
not work as expected
after data transfer.

The component set to be
operated by the timer of
the Commander does not
function as expected.

The timer programme is
executed in the next
week though that
programme has been
already executed.

The character contents
you have input return to
the original display.

The character contents
you have input are not
displayed.

86

Remedy

• The memory is full. Clear infrequently used learned keys (page 25), then
carry out learning operations.

• There are some keys, for which learned signals or the Channel Macro
function have been programmed, on the display for the Component
Select button or the Label key. Copy the settings to another Component
Select button or the Label key, or clear the learned signals (page 25) or
the Channel Macro function (page 60).

• Make sure that you have programmed the commands in the correct
order (page 31).

• Try changing the orientation of the Commander. If that does not help,
try placing the components as close to each other as possible.

• Check the status of the components and make sure that you have set the
components properly to receive commands (page 37).

• The component codes are changed or a new signals have been learned
for a key or button that has been programmed with a series of
commands. In this case, the new signals are transmitted when the series
of commands is executed.

• The interval may be too short. See “Changing the interval between
operation steps” (page 40) and set a longer interval, or adjust the series
of commands by changing the order of buttons and keys. (When
programming the system control function, you can make an interval of
a while by pressing the TIMER button.)

• Data transfer to/from a single Component Select button or Label key
cannot transfer System Control functions set to each button or key.
Either set up the receiving Commander from the start, or perform whole
data transfer (page 52).

• The component could not receive the signal from the Commander
successfully. When using the timer, check the followings.

- Check that the timer macro programme functions correctly by pressing

the TEST key, after programming the timer (page 66).

- Check the location of the Commander.

• The status of each component is not suitable for operation. (For
example, you programme the power-on setting, assuming that power of
the component is off when the timer turns on. However, if power of the
component is on when the component receives the timer signal from the
Commander, the component will turn off.)

• The timer programme contents you have set on this Commander repeat
every week (weekly timer). If you want to execute the timer programme
once, set the timer standby mode to OFF after checking the execution of
the timer programme (page 67).

• If you preset a component code after inputting character contents, they
are cleared and return to the original display. Edit the characters after
you decide the component to be used by presetting a code.

• If you input characters to the Label keys which have no data (displayed
“

”), the input characters are not displayed. In this case, first input

****

data to the Label keys by learning function (page 19) and input
characters. However, the input characters are displayed during the
learning operation.

Symptom

The display of the
Commander turns off by
itself.

E is displayed only
when transferring the
data and lighting the
LCD display window.

The Commander enters
the clock setting mode by
itself.

“LOCK” is displayed on
the LCD and the display
for operation does not
appear when you press a
button.

Helpline available

Remedy

• This Commander is preset at the factory to turn the display off
automatically if you do not operate for more than 10 minutes. You can
change the Automatic-Off time from 1 to 30 minutes (page 74).

• The batteries begin to be exhausted. Replace the batteries as early as
possible (page 7).

• The batteries might have been replaced, or the batteries are worn out.
Replace the batteries with new ones (page 7). After replacing the
batteries, the set contents remain. So, to use the Commander with the
previous set contents, you should only set the clock (page 8).

• The Hold function is on. Unlock the Hold function (page 71).
