Setting Up the Remote
Commander
Before you can start using the Remote Commander, you must first
set it up. This manual describes everything you need to know to
set up the Remote Commander for your TV, VCR and cable box.
About Presetting the Commander
This Remote Commander is preset at the factory to operate Sony
brand TVs and Sony brand VHS VCRs. If you're using this
Commander with a Sony TV and a Sony VHS VCR, you won't need
to preset the Commander before you start using it.
To set up this Remote Commander to use with other (non-Sony)
manufacturer's TVs, VCRs, and cable boxes, you'll need to follow
the instructions in this manual to preset the Remote Commander.
Note
The Commander can be set up to operate only one component of each
category (TV, VCR, cable box) at a time unless their code numbers happen
to be the same. For example, you cannot set up the Commander to operate
a Sony TV and a Panasonic TV at the same time.
5 When the component powers off, press and release the TV/
VIDEO button to store this code in the Commander's memory.

Troubleshooting
If you're having problems setting up or using the
Remote Commander:
■ If the Commander does not seem to be working properly, try
using the procedures under "Setting up the Remote
Commander".
If after trying all this, you still cannot get the Commander to
operate properly, see "Customer Support Information" below.
■ Check that you'er aiming the Commander directly toward the
component, and that there are no obstructions between the
Commander and the component.
■ Make sure that the battery you'er using is not worn out, and that
it is inserted correctly. Note that whenever you remove the
battery — to replace it, for example — the codes that you've set
are automatically erased and must be reset.
■ When using the Commander, note that some buttons work
exclusively with specific component. These buttons also
function independently of the position of the slide switch. For
example, you can use the tape transport buttons to control the
VCR even if the slide switch is set to TV or Cable. For a
complete list of the buttons that work independently, see
"Remote Button Descriptions".
