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

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.

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.

If the on-screen display does not appear even after the
batteries have been inserted into the remote (see page
14), reinsert the batteries and place the remote on a flat
surface for about 10 seconds.
Hints on handling the remote
• A slight wrist movement is all you need to direct the
pointer. (See previous illustration.)
• Hold the remote with its “click” button facing up, as
shown below. If the click button is oriented
diagonally, the pointer will not move in the same
direction that you move the remote.
How to Use the Remote:
STR-DE805G
The supplied remote lets you perform almost all of the
receiver operations. Operation is simple, press the
direction control button on the remote once to recall
the on-screen display, then press the corner of the
direction control pad representing the direction you
want to move the pointer (hand shaped icon) on the
on-screen display. Position the pointer so that the
finger tip is positioned on one of the on-screen items,
then press and quickly release the center of the
direction control button to “click” the item.
• The pointer will not move if you move the remote
along a flat plane as shown below.
• The on-screen display disappears automatically after
a few seconds when you place the remote on a flat
surface.
To make the on-screen display disappear faster,
position the pointer in the blank area, hold down the
click button to vanish the display, then place the
remote on a flat surface and release the click button.
To recall the on-screen display, pick up the remote.
Notes
• The position of the pointer freezes when you hold down
the click button.
• If the pointer begins drifting on the screen even while the
remote is stationary, place the remote on a flat surface
until the on-screen display disappears. The pointer
should behave normally the next time you use the remote.
• If your hand is very dry, the on-screen display may not
appear when you touch the click button. In this case, press
the click button.
