Searching for the Correct Code
If you�ve tried all the code numbers listed for your component and you still cannot get the Commander to work (or if your component is not listed in the �Component Code Numbers� tables), try these steps. 1 Power on the component you want to set up. Insert a tape or disc if necessary. 2 While pressing the SET button, press the POWER button. 3 Press the button of the component on the Commander that you want to set up. 4 Press and release the CH+ button. Then press and release the POWER button. 5 Repeat step 4 until the correct code number is found. Each time you press the CH+ button and then the POWER button, a new code number will be transmitted. Keep trying until your component operates by receiving the transmitted signal from the Commander (e.g., the power turns off, the CH+ function works, playback starts, etc.) Be patient as you do this; it may take about 100 tries until the correct code number is located. 6 When the correct code is found, press the ENT button to store the code number in the Commander�s memory. 7 Check that the Commander is operating the other functions of your component by pressing the corresponding buttons on the Commander. If they seem to be working properly, you�re done setting up the Commander. If the component does not operate properly, repeat steps 1 to 6 and search for another code. If you still cannot get the Commander to work properly, see �Troubleshooting.�

Operating an analog cable box
qs and qd To change the channel. For example, to change to channel 5, press 0 and 5 (or press 5 and ENT). qf Channel up: + Channel down: � Notes
� There may be cases you may turn on/off the cable box by pressing the CH+ or CH� buttons on the Commander. � If your cable box can control volume, be sure to set its volume control to a medium position. If the volume on the cable box is turned down completely, you will not be able to adjust your TV�s volume with the Commander.

Notes
� Replace both batteries with new ones. � Do not take more than 3 minutes to replace the batteries; otherwise, your setting of the code numbers will be erased.

Troubleshooting
If you have problems setting up or using the Commander: � When setting up the Commander, carefully go through the procedures described in �Setting the Code.� If the code that�s listed first for your component doesn�t work, try all the codes for your component - in the order in which they�re listed. If all the codes fail to work (or if your component is not listed in this manual), try using the procedures in �Searching for the Correct Code.� � Check that you�re aiming the Commander directly at the component, and that there are no obstructions between the Commander and the component. � Make sure the batteries you�re using are not worn out, and that they�re inserted correctly. � Check that the button of the TV, VCR, CBL/SAT, RCVR, or DVD is pressed to choose your desired component. � Check that the component has infrared remote capability. For example, if your component didn�t come with a remote commander, it probably isn�t capable of being controlled by a remote commander. � If your video components are connected to an audio system, make sure you�ve set up the Commander as described in �Controlling the Volume of Video Components Connected to an Audio System.� � Should any problem persist, reset the Commander to the factory setting by pressing the POWER, TV/VIDEO and VOL� buttons simultaneously.

Notes on Using the Remote Commander
Basically, use this Commander in the same way as the Commanders supplied with your components. � Using this Commander will not increase the functions of your components. The functions of the Commander are limited to the functions of the components themselves. For example, if your TV does not have a MUTING function, the MUTING button on this Commander will not function with your TV. � Some functions of the component may not work with this Commander. � If your cable box can control volume, be sure to set its volume switch to a medium position. If the volume on the cable box is turned down completely, you will not be able to adjust your TV�s volume with the Commander.

Setting Up the Remote Commander
About Presetting the Commander
The Commander is preset at the factory to operate Sony brand components. If you�re using the Commander with a Sony component, you won�t need to preset the Commander before you start using it. To set up the Commander to use with other (non-Sony) manufacturers� components, or to use with a component that is not preset at the factory, you�ll need to follow the instructions in this manual to preset the Commander with the correct code number for your components. (See the supplied �Component Code Numbers� also.)

Notes on Batteries
� Do not mix old batteries with new ones 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 the electrolyte from leaking, remove the batteries when you plan not to use the Commander for a long period of time.

* If you assign an audio component on the CBL/SAT or DVD button, you can control the volume of the receiver (or amplifier) on the RCVR button. If you assign video components on these buttons, you can control the volume of the TV.

Setting the Code
Follow the steps 1 and 2 below for each component you plan to use with the Commander.

Step 1: Entering the Code Number
1 See the supplied �Component Code numbers�, and find the threedigit code number for the desired component. If more than one code number is listed, use the number that�s listed first to complete the steps below. For example, if you�re setting up a Philips� VCR, you would use the code number 035. If your component isn�t listed, see �Searching for the Correct Code.� 2 While pressing the SET button, press the POWER button. 3 Press the button of the component that you want to set up.

Thus you can control the volume of your TV or receiver (or amplifier) while operating a video or audio component without first having to press the TV or RCVR button. For example, to control the volume for your VCR channels, you don�t need to press the TV button first. However, if your video components are connected to an audio system, you probably hear your TV�s or VCR�s sound from the loudspeakers connected to your receiver (or amplifier), not from your TV speakers. In this case, you need to change the factory setting so that you can control the volume of your video components without first having to switch to the receiver (or amplifier). To change the factory setting for the volume control, follow the procedures below.

Customer Support Information
If � after you�ve read through this manual � you still cannot get the Remote Commander to work properly, call the Sony Customer Support Helpline at 1-800-822-2217.

Notes
� The Commander can be set up to operate only one component per button � 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 simultaneously (because they use different code numbers). � You may not be able to operate even a Sony brand component with the factory presetting. In such a case, follow the procedure in �Setting the Code.�

Note
This feature is effective only when a receiver or amplifier is set up on the RCVR button. You cannot control the volume of a receiver (or amplifier) set up on CBL/SAT or DVD button while operating a component of another button.
