This chapter describes how to change the
factory setting of a function button and how to
set the remote to control non-Sony
components.
Once the numeric code has been verified,
the indicator slowly flashes twice and the
remote automatically exits the programming
mode.
5 Repeat steps 1 to 4 to control other
components.
Programming the remote
To cancel programming
Press USE MODE during any step. The remote
automatically exits the programming mode.
You can program the remote to control non-
Sony components by changing the code. Once
the control signals have been memorized, you
can use those components as part of your
system.
Tips
• If programming is unsuccessful, check the
following:
– If the indicator does not light up in step 1, the
batteries are weak. Replace both batteries.
– If the indicator flashes 4 times in quick
succession while entering the numeric code, an
error has occurred. Start again from step 1.
• To activate the function after programming, press
the programmed button to activate the function you
want.
Furthermore, you can also program the remote
for Sony components that the remote is unable
to control. Note that the remote can only
control components that accept infrared
wireless control signals.
Note
When you assign a component to the MONITOR
button, you can operate the programmed component
without changing the function of the receiver.
Notes
• The indicator turns off while a valid button is
pressed.
• In step 2, if several function buttons are pressed,
only the last pressed button is valid.
• In step 3, if a function button is pressed, the new
function is selected and the programming procedure
returns to the beginning of step 3.

The indicator flashes 3 times, then goes off.
See the tables on pages 11 and 12 for
