Setting Up the Remote Commander
About setting up the Commander
The Commander is set up at the factory to operate Sony brand
components. However, even if you intend to use the Commander
with a Sony component, you may still need to set up the
Commander for it, depending on the component.
To set up the Commander to use with other (non-Sony)
manufacturers' components, or to use with a component that is not
Remote
preset at the factory, you will need to follow the instructions in this
manual to preset the Commander with the correct code number for
Commander your component. (See "Startup Guide" and "Component Code
Numbers".)

Note
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).
Installing the batteries
Push open the battery compartment and insert two size AA (R6)
batteries (not supplied).

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, MUTING 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
to a moderate level. 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.
