The following are its main features. Centralized control of Sony AV components with this one remote commander TI_s Commander is preset at the factory to operate Sony brand components, so you can use it out of the box as a control Sony AV components. center for your Remote control signals for non-Sony components are also preset This Commander is preset for most major brands components including Sony. You can remote control your components by setting the type and code number of each component (page 8). Learning function for programming various other remote control signals This Commander has a Learning function, to "learn" the remote control signals needed to operate other non_pre_t components or functions. (To "teach" such signals to this Commander, use the remote control supplied with the non-pre_t components.) (See page 15.) In addition, the Commander can "learn" remote control signals (infrared signals only) of non-Audio Visual components such as air-conditioners, lights, etc. (Some specific appliances or functions may not be available.) (page 23.) Reassigning new components You can assign Component Select buttons to freely operate other components. This is useful when you have more than two of the same kind of AV component (only if a Component Select buttons is free).

(Noise may interfere during the L_arning procedure.) • The remote control detector area may differ depending on each remote unit. If Learning does not work, try changing the positions of the two remote control units. • When you teach signals of an interactive signal exchange system remote control unit (supplied with some of Sony's amplifiers) to the Commander, the response signal of the main unit may interfere with the learning of the Commanden In such a case, move to a place where the signals will not reach the main unit (e.g. other rooms, etc.). IMPORTANT Be sure to place the Commander out of the reach of small children or pets, and lock the controls using the Hold function (page 30). Components such as air conditioners, heaters, electric appliances, shutters or an infrared dangerous 18 and electric curtains receiving signal can be if misused. Programming remote control signals to the Component Select buttons You can "teach" one operating procedure to a Component Select button, so that when you press the Component Select button, the operation is also automatically done. For example, if it is necessary to switch the input selection of an amplifier to DVD when you use a DVD player, "teach" an input select signal to the DVD button. After "learning", the input selection of an amplifier is automatically switched to DVD just by pressing DVD. (For this operation, an amplifier should first be turned on.) Example: To "teach" the DVD input remote control signal of your amplifier to the DVD button of the Commander 1 Follow 15).

The two buttons of the Commander have been programmed with th_ power_on signal and the power_off signal of the air-conditioner respectively, so that you can operate the air_ conditioner with the Commander. 23 Controllingthe Volume of VisualComponents Connectedto anAudio System The Commander is factory pre_t based on the assumption that you hear the sound of your visual components from your TV speakers, and that you hear sound of your audio components from the loudspeakers connected to your amplifier. For example, volume while don't need to to control the to control the using a VCR, you press the TV button TV volume. The following table shows the factory setting of which volume would be controlled for each component. ComponentSelect button Contmlsthevolume _V I_V VCR CBL/SAI ¸ DVD AMP 24 amplifier However, if your visual components are connected to an audio system, you may want to hear TV or VCR sound from the loudspeakers via your amplifier, not from your TV speakers.
