On-screen operation

The remote commander emits a constant radio frequency (RF) signal that conveys any movement of the remote

commander to the receiver via the RC antenna (1 above).

2 This controls the movement of the pointer (hand icon) in the on-screen display (2 above).

3 When you move the pointer to an on-screen icon, and press the button on the remote, the infrared (IR) repeater

transmits the corresponding IR control code to the respective program source (3 above).

If the screen flickers or the pointer does not move

The RF signal from the remote is being obstructed and is not reaching the RC antenna (1 above). Reposition the RC antenna or bring the remote commander closer to the RC antenna.

If the program source fails to respond or is slow to respond

The IR control code from the IR repeater is not fully reaching the infrared receptor on the program source. Connect the extra IR repeater (supplied) and position it facing the program source (see “IR Repeater Hookups” on page 9).

If some of the programmed on-screen controls are unresponsive or slow, rerecord the IR codes for those buttons ( see “Registering non-Sony Audio/Video equipment” on page 19).

polarity (+/–).

3 Close the cover by holding it down (it will be a

little uneven) and turning it to the right. The cover locks

Inserting Batteries Into the Remote: STR-DE805G

1 Open the cover on the bottom of the remote.

2 Insert two size -AA (R6) batteries with correct

polarity (+/–).

3 Close the cover.

After inserting the batteries into the remote

Place it undisturbed on a flat surface for about 10 seconds to allow the internal circuitry to calibrate.

To avoid damage caused by battery leakage and corrosion

Remove the batteries when the commander will not be used for a long time.

Battery life

• Normal operation can be expected about three months using Sony SUM-3 (NS), and a half year using Sony AM-3 (NW) alkaline batteries. Since the remote consumes power whenever you pick it up and an on-screen display appears, the service life of the batteries may be less than three months, depending on how much you handle the remote.

• When the batteries become weak, LOW will appear on the display during the initial on-screen displays (but possibly not at the deeper menu levels). When EMPTY appears, the batteries are almost completely drained and will soon need to be replaced.

To avoid damage caused by battery leakage and corrosion

Remove the batteries when the commander will not be used for a long time.

Battery life

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

Preparing and Using the Remote

Preventing Interference Between Multiple Remotes (STR-DE905G only)

If you use two or more receivers at the same time, interference may occur between the RF signals, causing the units to operate erratically. You can prevent this by giving all units a unique security number which distinguishes the signal of each unit from the others. Follow the procedure below to assign a security number to each unit.

1 Turn off the power to the unit.

2 Turn on the unit again while simultaneously

holding down the PHONO, CD, and TUNER buttons on the front panel. “SECURITY No.” appears in the display. Enter a number from 0 to 15 by pressing PHONO, CD or TUNER on the front panel. Make sure that the number is different from the security code of the other units.

3 After a few seconds, “SECURITY OK!” appears,

indicating that the code has been recorded.
