Advanced Features
Controlling the Volumeof Visual ComponentsConnected to an AudioSystemThe Commander is factory preset basedon the assumption that you hear thesound of your visual components fromyour TV speakers, and that you hearsound of your audio components fromthe loudspeakers connected to youramplifier.
This feature enables you to control thevolume of your TV or amplifier withouthaving to select TV or AMP each timeyou want to control the volume.For example, to control the volume whileusing a VCR, you do not need to pressthe TV button to control the TV volume.You can switch the volume of all thevisual components to the amplifier at thesame time.
The following table shows the factorysetting of which volume would becontrolled for each component.
However, if your visual components areconnected to an audio system, youprobably hear TV or VCR sound from theloudspeakers via your amplifier, notfrom your TV speakers. In this case, youneed to change the factory preset so thatyou can control the volume of yourvisual components without first havingto switch to the amplifier.

When you have programmed thebuttons on the CommanderThe names of buttons on the Commanderwhich are not on the LCD touch keydisplay (VOLUME +/–, MUTING,CHANNEL +/–, RECALL, MENU, OK,EXIT, , , , and ) are displayed onthe right Label key.
Notes• If you interrupt the procedure at any point for
over two minutes, the setting mode ends andthe series of commands will be programmedto that point. In this case, clear the program(page 36) and start again from Step 1 to set theentire program from the beginning. Youcannot continue from where you let off.
• If a SYSTEM CONTROL button or a Label keyhas already “learned” a remote control signal(page 50), “NG” flashes and you cannotprogram on this button. Clear the learnedcontents first (page 52).
• If you change the component code number(page 12) or program a new signal by learning(page 20) on a key or button that has beenprogrammed in the series of commands of theSystem Control function, the new signal willbe transmitted when you press thecorresponding SYSTEM CONTROL button ora Label key.
• During programming of a series of operatingcommands, the DEL key is not displayed andyou cannot clear any operation step you haveprogrammed. If you have programmed anincorrect operation by mistake, start againfrom Step 1.
• If you try to program more than 32 steps, theSystem Control setting finishes, and the 32steps you have programmed are registered. Ifyou want to program again, clear the program(page 36) and start again from Step 1.
• When programming a power-on commandfor the System Control function, if you selectthe Component Select button or the Label keyfor which you programmed the Power-onsetting (page 44), the Power-on setting is alsoavailable. So, the power of the selectedcomponent turns off if the POWER key of thecomponent is programmed.In this case, clear the Power-on setting, or donot program the POWER key of thecomponent.
About the interval betweenoperation steps• You can change the interval between
operation steps (page 41).
• If you cannot receive signals successfullyduring consecutive operation steps, programthe interval between steps by pressing theTIMER button between operation steps in Step6 on page 34. This operation of programming aninterval is counted also as a step.
To change the display of thecomponent name on the ModeDisplay keyWhen you program a series of operatingcommands, you can change the displayof the component name to the mostsuitable name using up to 8 characters ordigits.
After Step 3 (page 33), hold the ModeDisplay key pressed for more than 2seconds. Then follow the same procedureas that for changing the name of theLabel key in “To change the name of theLabel key,” Steps 2 - 5 on page 25.If you press the CLEAR key, the Labelkey returns to the previous display.
About the order of operation steps• Some of the components may not accept
consecutive remote control signals. Forexample, a TV generally does not react tonext signal right after the Power-on signal.So, a series of commands such as TV Power-on and input select may not work properly.In this case, insert other signals like theexample below;
TV Power-on t VCR Power-ont VCR play back t TV input select
• After the series of input commands isexecuted, the Commander displays thetouch-keys of the component in the final step.By programming an often-used component’scommand as the final step, you can save thestep of pressing a Component Select buttonor a Label key when you start operating thatcomponent. (In the example on page 33, thetouch-keys of TV are displayed.)
• If a series of commands is programmed forthe Component Select button or the Labelkeys (page 39), the display of that componentis shown after the program is executed.

Notes on System ControlOperations• If the remote control detectors of the
components are too far apart, or ifsomething is blocking them, some ofthe components may not operateconsecutively even after you press theSYSTEM CONTROL button or a Labelkey.
• If some of the components did notoperate correctly because of the aboveor for any other reason, always set allthe components back to the states theywere in before you pressed theSYSTEM CONTROL button or a Labelkey. Failure to do this can result inincorrect operation when you press theSYSTEM CONTROL button or a Labelkey again.
• Some components may not always bepowered on by the System Controlfunction. This is because the power ofthe component goes on and offalternatively when receiving the poweron/off signal. In this case, check theoperating component’s power on/offstate before using the system controlfunction.
Programming a series ofcommands for the ComponentSelect buttons or the Label keysAs with the SYSTEM CONTROL buttonsor the Label keys, you can also program aseries of operating commands for theComponent Select buttons (up to 32 steps).To execute the commands programmedon a Component Select button or a Labelkey by the System Control function, pressthe button or key for more than 2 seconds.The component macro executing time isvariable by changing the setting (page43).

Notes on learning the signalsof an air-conditionerAbout seasonal adjustmentsIf you change the settings of the air-conditioner for the season, you have toprogram the remote control signals of thenew settings on the Commander.
If the power-on/off operationdoes not work correctlyThe air-conditioner may not be turned onor off properly with the button or key ofthis Commander, for which you haveprogrammed its power-on/off signal.If the Commander can operate only“ON” with one button or key and “OFF”with another, while your air-conditioner’s remote control can operate“ON/OFF” with a single button or key,program the signal on two buttons orkeys of the Commander as follows.
1 Clear the learned power-on/off signal.(In the example on page 52, clear thelearned signal from the SYSTEMCONTROL 2 button.)
2 Program the signal (transmitted fromthe power-on/off button of the air-conditioner’s remote control) for theSYSTEM CONTROL 2 button again.
3 Program the signal from the samebutton of the remote control foranother button or key (for example, theSYSTEM CONTROL 3 button).
The two buttons or keys of theCommander have been programmedwith the power-on signal and the power-off signal of the air-conditioner,respectively so that you can operate theair-conditioner with the Commander.

Additional Information
Precautions•Do not drop the unit or give a shock to
the unit, or it may cause a malfunction.•Do not leave the unit in a location hear
heat sources, or in a place subject todirect sunlight, excessive dust or sand,moisture, rain or mechanical shock.
•Do not put foreign objects into the unit.Should any liquid or solid object fallinto the unit, have it checked byqualified personnel before operatingthe unit any further.
•Do not expose the remote controldetectors of your components to directsunlight or other strong illumination.Too much light there can interfere withremote control operations.
•Be sure to place the Commander out ofthe reach of small children or pets.Components such as air conditioners,heaters, electric appliances, and electricshutters or curtains receiving aninfrared signal can be dangerous ifmisused.
MaintenanceClean the surface with a soft clothslightly moistened with water or a milddetergent solution. Do not use any typeof solvent such as alcohol, benzine orthinner as they may damage the finish ofthe surface.
91
TroubleshootingIf you have problems setting up or using the Remote Commander, first check thebatteries (page 7), then check the items below.
Remedy
• Go closer to the component. The maximum operating distance isapproximately 32.8 ft. (10 m).
• Check that you are aiming the Commander directly at the component,and that there are no obstructions between the Commander and thecomponent.
• Turn on the components first, if necessary.• Check that the component has infrared remote capability. For example,
if your component did not come with a remote commander, it probablyis not capable of being controlled by a remote commander.
• You have assigned a different component to the Component Selectbutton or Label key. A corresponding component is fixed by presettinga component code number. Therefore, the name of component you havepreset may be different from that of the Component Select button or theLabel key. In this case, it is recommended to preset again (page 12) andchange the component name on the Mode Display key or the name ofthe Label key (page 24, 25).
• Set the component code correctly. If the code that is listed first for yourcomponent does not work, try all the codes for your component in theorder in which they are listed in the supplied “Component CodeNumbers.”
• Some features may not be preset. If some or all of the keys do notfunction correctly even after you have set the component codes, thenuse the learning function to program the remote control signals for thecomponent (page 20).
• If your visual components are connected to an audio system, make sureyou have set up the Commander as described in “Controlling theVolume of Visual Components Connected to an Audio System” (page30).
• You have assigned another component to the TV or AMP button (page44, 46). In this case, the volume cannot be controlled when you select acomponent other than TV or AMP.
• When you teach signals of an interactive signal exchange system remotecontrol unit (supplied with some of Sony’s receivers and amplifiers) tothe Commander, the response signal of the main unit may interfere withthe learning of the Commander. In such a case, move to a place wherethe signals will not reach the main unit (e.g. other rooms, etc.).
• Make sure that the Remote Commander has learned the correct signals.If not, see “For accurate learning” (page 26) and try the learningprocedure again (page 20).
Symptom
You cannot operate thecomponents.
You cannot operate thecomponents even aftersetting the componentcode numbers.
You cannot control thevolume.
The Commander fails tolearn the remote controlsignals.
You cannot operate acomponent even afteryou programmed theremote control signalswith the “learning”function.
Continued
92
Troubleshooting (continued)
Symptom
“NG” flashes five times.
“NG” flashes twice.
“NG” appears duringlearning.
Remedy
• Leaning has not succeeded. After checking the follows, try learningprocedure again (page 20).- Change the distance between remote commanders.- See “For accurate learning” (page 26).
• The component codes cannot be set. See the supplied “ComponentCode Numbers” and try setting the component codes again (page 12).
• The data have not been transferred. See “Transferring data” (page 56)and try transferring the data again.
• The data has not been received. See “Receiving the data” (page 59) andtry receiving the data again.
• Learned signals have been programmed for the button or key to whichyou want to set the learning, System Control or Key Macro function.Clear the learned signals (page 36, 64) and try setting again.
• Learned signals or the Key Macro function have been programmed forthe Component Select button or the Label key to which you want tocopy the settings of another Component Select button or the Label keyusing the copying function (page 48). Clear the contents (page 26, 64)and try the copying procedure again.
• The key for which you want to program the Key Macro function is not aKey Macro key. You can program the Key Macro function only for theLabel keys.
• You may try to clear the learned signals in the Key Macro setting mode(page 64). In this mode, only Key Macro settings can be cleared bypressing the macro key while keeping the DEL key pressed. To clear thelearned signals, see page 48.
• Learned signals have been programmed for the Label key to which youwant to set the Key Macro function. Clear the learned signals (page 26)and try setting again. Or set to another Label key.
• There are some keys, for which learned signals have been programmed,on the display for the Component Select button or the Label key whenthe Commander receives the data from another Commander. Clear thelearned signals using the CLEAR key and the RETURN key on thedisplay of the receiving mode (page 59). Or see “Changing or erasingthe function of a taught key or button” (page 26), and clear the learnedsignals.
• The program contents you want to change are set to be executed by thetimer. Set the timer setting in which that program is included not to beexecuted (page 69), and edit the program contents.
• You may try to program the Power-On function (page 44) for aComponent Select button or the Label key to which the component codeof a non-Sony product has been set. This function is only for Sonycomponents.
• You may try to operate the preset function (page 12) after operating thelearning function (page 20). You cannot operate the preset function afteroperationg the learning function. Preset after clearing the learnedsignals (page 26), or preset to another Component Select button or Labelkey that is not used.
• The memory is full. Clear infrequently used learned keys (page 26), thencarry out learning operations.

• There are some keys, for which learned signals or the Key Macrofunction have been programmed, on the display for the ComponentSelect button or the Label key. Copy the settings to another ComponentSelect button or the Label key, or clear the learned signals (page 26) orthe Key Macro function (page 64).
• Make sure that you have programmed the commands in the correctorder (page 32).
• Try changing the orientation of the Commander. If that does not help,try placing the components as close to each other as possible.
• Check the status of the components and make sure that you have set thecomponents properly to receive commands (page 39).
• The component codes are changed or a new signals have been learnedfor a key or button that has been programmed with a series ofcommands. In this case, the new signals are transmitted when the seriesof commands is executed.
• The interval may be too short. See “Changing the interval betweenoperation steps” (page 41) and set a longer interval, or adjust the seriesof commands by changing the order of buttons and keys. (Whenprogramming the system control function, you can make an interval ofa while by pressing the TIMER button.)
• Data transfer to/from a single Component Select button or Label keycannot transfer System Control functions set to each button or key.Either set up the receiving Commander from the start, or perform wholedata transfer (page 56).
• The component could not receive the signal from the Commandersuccessfully. When using the timer, check the following.- Check that the timer macro program functions correctly by pressing
the TEST key, after programming the timer (page 70).- Check the location of the Commander.
• The status of each component is not suitable for operation. (Forexample, you program the power-on setting, assuming that power ofthe component is off when the timer turns on. However, if power of thecomponent is on when the component receives the timer signal from theCommander, the component will turn off.)
• The timer program contents you have set on this Commander repeatevery week (weekly timer). If you want to execute the timer programonce, set the timer standby mode to OFF after checking the execution ofthe timer program (page 70).
• If you preset a component code after inputting character contents, theyare cleared and return to the original display. Edit the characters afteryou decide the component to be used by presetting a code.
• If you input characters to the Label keys which have no data (displayed“∗∗∗∗ ”), the input characters are not displayed. In this case, first inputdata to the Label keys by learning function (page 20) and inputcharacters. However, the input characters are displayed during thelearning operation.
