Operating Non-Sony Components

You can program the remote to control non-Sony components. Once the control signals have been memorized, you can use those components as part of your system. Furthermore, you can also program this remote for Sony components that the remote is unable to control. Note that the remote can control the components that accept infrared wireless control signals only.

1 Do the procedure of “Changing the Factory Setting

of a Function Button” on page 12, if necessary.

2 Press IR SET.

3 Press the function button for the component you

want to control (except the 5.1 IN buttons).

For example, if you are going to control a CD player, press CD.

4 Press the numeric buttons to enter the numeric

code (or one of the codes if more than one code exist) corresponding to the component and the make of the component you want to control.

See the tables on pages 14 and 15 for information on the numeric code(s) corresponding to the component and the make of the component.

Clearing all programmed signals

To clear all the programmed signals, do the following procedure. The remote is reset to its factory-setting.

1 Press IR SET to turn on the program indicator.

Advanced Remote Operations

2 First press down MASTER VOLUME –, then AV 1/u,

6 Repeat Steps 2 to 5 to control other components.

z If programming is unsuccessful, check the following:

• If the program indicator does not light up, the batteries are weak. Replace both batteries.

• If you do not do Step 3 within one minute after pressing the IR SET button in Step 2, the remote automatically exits learning mode. Start again from Step 2.

Notes

• Programmed components will not turn on when you press a function button. You have to turn on the component’s power switch.

• The numeric codes are based on the latest information available for each brand. There is a chance, however, that your component will not respond to some or all of the codes.

• All of the functions on this remote may not be available when used with your particular component.

Operating Non-Sony Components

The numeric codes corresponding to the component and the make of the component

Use the numeric codes in the tables below to control non-

Advanced Remote Operations

Sony conponents and also Sony components that the remote is normally unable to control. Since the remote signal that a component accepts differs depending on the model and year of the component, more than one numeric code may be assigned to a component. If you fail to program your remote using one of the codes, try using other codes.

Notes

• The numeric codes are based on the latest information available for each brand. There is a chance, however, that your component will not respond to some or all of the codes.

• All of the functions on this remote may not be available when used with your particular component.
