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.

Step 1: Searching for the Correct Code

This Commander is preset with the remote control codes of different manufacturers. Follow the procedure described below to set the remote control code that operates your TV, VCR or cable box.

1 Power on the component you want to set up. Then set the slide

switch on the Remote Commander to VCR (to set up a VCR), CABLE (to set up a cable box), or TV (to set up a TV).
