Getting Started

Installing the Batteries

Slide open the battery compartment lid and insert two R6 (size AA) dry batteries (not supplied). Insert the batteries (negative end first) into the battery compartment as shown below.

Battery life

Under normal conditions, LR6 (size AA) alkaline batteries will last up to one year. If the RM-VLZ620T does not operate properly, the batteries might be drained. If this happens, replace both batteries with new ones.

Notes on batteries

Do not use an old battery with a new one, or mix different



types of batteries together.

If the electrolyte inside the battery should leak, wipe the



contaminated area of the battery compartment with a cloth and replace the old batteries with new ones. To prevent electrolyte from leaking, remove the batteries if you plan not to use the RM-VLZ620T for a long period of time.

Note

Even if you replace the batteries, your manufacturer’s code settings or learned/programmed remote signals remain stored.

Location of Controls

The function of the buttons varies depending on settings/operating modes. The “Table of Preset Functions” (page 32) shows how the RM-VLZ620T generally operates for each device in the factory preset mode.

Teaching the RM-VLZ620T New Functions (Learning Function)

If you cannot control a device, even after correctly setting the manufacturer’s code, you can teach the RM-VLZ620T new functions by using the original remote control supplied with the device.

You can teach a function to all the buttons (except SET) for any device mode. To teach the Device Select or SYSTEM CONTROL buttons, see page 21. You may find it useful to write down the functions you have taught.

Notes

Use new batteries in both remote control units.



Certain remote control signals may not be learned.



If the function has already been learned, it will be overwritten



with the new one.

You cannot teach a number button to which you have already



assigned a channel (page 23). You can also teach the signals of a computer’s remote control



(including a built-in tuner type) to control the monitor.

If you do not perform learning steps for 10 seconds at any



point during the process, the learning procedure is cancelled.

To cancel the process

Press SET anytime.

Notes

If you teach a signal to a button, the learned function will



remain even after you set a manufacturer’s code.

You cannot teach a simultaneous button operation (for



example  + ) to the two buttons on the RM-VLZ620T at a time.

In this case, teach the signal to a single button while pressing

two buttons on the original remote control at the same time.

To teach an air-conditioner’s functions

If you adjust the setting of the air-conditioner according to the season, reset the parameters of the air conditioner’s remote control (temperature, air strength and direction, etc.), and teach the new remote signals to the RM-VLZ620T.

When the power button on the remote control for an air-conditioner, etc., toggles between power-on and off with each press, the power-on/off operation may not be learned correctly. In this case, teach the power-on/off signals to two separate buttons on the RM-VLZ620T.

1 Teach the power-on signal to a button (transmit

the power-on signal by pressing the power button when the device is turned off).

2 Teach the power-off signal to another button

(transmit the power-off signal by pressing the power button when the device is turned on).

The two learned buttons of the RM-VLZ620T now control the power-on/off signals of the device respectively.

Note

Devices such as air conditioners and heaters receiving an infrared signal can be dangerous if misoperated. Be sure to place the RMVLZ620T out of the reach of small children or pets, and lock the controls using the Hold function (page 26).

Tips for teaching accurately

Do not move the remote control units during the



learning procedure.

Use new batteries in both remote control units.



Avoid performing the learning procedure in places



subject to direct sunlight, or strong fluorescent light. (Noise may interfere with the learning procedure.)

The remote control detector area may differ



depending on each remote control unit. If the RMVLZ620T does not learn signals, try changing the positions of the two remote control units.

When you teach the signals of an interactive signal



exchange system remote control unit (supplied with certain Sony’s amplifiers) to the RMVLZ620T, the response signal of the main unit may interfere with the learning of the RMVLZ620T. In such a case, move to a place where the signals will not reach the main unit (e.g., another room).
