Inserting batteries into the
remote

Insert R6 (size-AA) batteries with the + and –
properly oriented in the battery compartment.
When using the remote, point it at the remote
sensor g on the receiver.

Tip

Under normal conditions, the batteries should last for
about 6 months. When the remote no longer operates
the receiver, replace all batteries with new ones.

Notes

• Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or
humid place.

• Do not use a new battery with an old one.

• Do not expose the remote sensor to direct sunlight
or lighting apparatuses. Doing so may cause a
malfunction.

• If you don’t use the remote for an extended period
of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible
damage from battery leakage and corrosion.

Notes

• Some functions explained in this section may not
work depending on the model of the receiver.

• The above explanation is intended to serve as an
example only.
Therefore, depending on the component the above
operation may not be possible or may operate
differently than described.

To reset the remote to factory
settings

Press =/1, AV =/1, and MASTER VOL – at
the same time.

The indicator lights 3 times, then goes off.

Programming the remote

You can program the remote to control non­Sony components by changing the code. Once
the control signals have been memorized, you
can use those components as part of your
system.

Futhermore, you can also program the remote
for Sony components that the remote is unable
to control. Note that the remote can only
control components that accept infrared
wireless control signals.

Note

When you assign a component to the MONITOR
button, you can operate the programmed component
without changing the function of the receiver.

1 Press AV ?/1 while pressing down USE

MODE.

The indicator lights.

2 Press the function button (including

MONITOR) for the component you want
to control.

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

3 Press the numeric buttons to enter the

numeric code (or one of the codes if
more than one code exists)
corresponding to the component and
the maker of the component you want
to control.

See the tables on pages 43 and 44 for
information on the numeric code(s)
corresponding to the component and the
maker of the component (the first digit and
the last two digits of the numeric code
correspond to the category and the maker’s
code respectively.)

4 Press ENTER.

Once the numeric code has been verified,
the indicator slowly flashes twice and the
remote automatically exits the programming
mode.

5 Repeat steps 1 to 4 to control other

components.

To cancel programming

Press USE MODE during any step. The remote
automatically exits the programming mode.

To activate the function after
programming.

Press the programmed button to activate the
function you want.

If programming is unsuccessful,
check the following:

• If the indicator does not light up in step 1, the
batteries are weak. Replace both batteries.

• If the indicator flashes 4 times in quick succession
while entering the numeric code, an error has
occurred. Start again from step 1.

Notes

• The indicator turns off while a valid button is
pressed.

• In step 2, if several function buttons are pressed,
only the last pressed button is valid.

• In step 3, if a function button is pressed, the new
function is selected and the programming
procedure returns to the beginning of step 3.

• For the numeric codes, only the first three numbers
entered are valid.

To clear the memory of the remote

To clear all programmed and learned signals,
do the following to reset the remote to factory
settings.

Press ?/1, AV ?/1 and MASTER VOL – at
the same time.

The indicator flashes 3 times, then goes off.

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

Use the numeric codes in the tables below to
control non-Sony components 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.
