If the Commander can operate  
only ONwith one button or  
label and OFFwith another,  
while your air-conditioners

The cursor moves to the right.  
When the Joystick is pressed

When controlling the volume of the

for the amplifier is transmitted for the  
TV. But if you program any signal for  
the VOL or MUTING button of the  
TV, its learned signal is transmitted  
for the TV.  
But if you set another TV or amplifier  
for volume control setting, its signal  
will be transmitted. In this case, its  
learned signal will be transmitted if  
you program any signal for the VOL  
or MUTING button.  
If a TV or an amplifier set for volume  
control setting has no preset data for  
the VOL or MUTING button, the  
signal cannot be transmitted.  
If you preset another category of

to the component label for which the  
volume control setting has been  
programmed, the signal of the VOL

When operating a component which  
has no volume data, if you have

When using the timer setting on this  
Commander, only one setting can be  
assigned to one program. If you want  
to set the timer to turn on at a  
programmed time, and to set the  
timer to turn off at another time,  
program the two settings separately.  
If there are some programs set to be  
executed at the same time, they start  
in order from the lowest program  
number.  
According to the status of the  
component operated by the timer  
program, the next program might not  
function successfully. When setting a  
timer program, check carefully the  
setting of other programs.  
Some programs cannot be executed at  
the set time because the execution  
time of the remote control output is  
different depending on the contents  
of the timer execution. Or, if the  
execution time arrives while the  
previous timer program is outputted,  
the timer program begins after the  
execution of the previous one. In this  
case also, the program cannot be  
executed at the set time. So, set the  
timer regarding the contents and the  
duration of the timer execution.

Do not expose the remote control  
detectors of your components to  
direct sunlight or other strong  
illumination. Too much light in  
such places can interfere with  
remote control operations.  
Be sure to place the Commander  
out of the reach of small children  
or pets. Components such as air  
conditioners, heaters, electric  
appliances, and electric shutters  
or curtains receiving an infrared  
signal can be dangerous if  
misused.

Troubleshooting  
If you have problems setting up or using the Remote Commander, first  
check the batteries (page 7), then check the items below.  
Symptom  
Remedy  
You cannot operate the  
components.  
Go closer to the component. The maximum operating  
distance is approximately 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 the component.  
Turn on the components first, if necessary.  
Check that the component has infrared remote capability. For  
example, if your component didnt come with a remote  
commander, it probably isnt capable of being controlled by a  
remote commander.  
You have assigned a different component to the component  
label. A corresponding component is fixed by presetting a  
component code number. Therefore, the name of component  
you have preset may be different from that of the component  
label. In this case, it is recommended to preset again (page 13)  
and change the component name on the label (page 27, 65).  
You cannot operate the  
components even after  
setting the component  
code numbers.  
Set the component code correctly. If the code that is listed first  
for your component doesnt work, try all the codes for your  
component in the order in which they are listed in the  
supplied Component Code Numbers.”  
Some features may not be preset. If some or all of the buttons  
do not function correctly even after you have set the  
component codes, then use the learning function to program  
the remote control signals for the component (page 23).  
You cannot control the  
volume.  
If your visual components are connected to an audio system,  
make sure youve set up the Commander as described in  
Controlling the Volume of Visual Components Connected to  
an Audio System(page 30).  
You have assigned another component to the TV or AMP  
label (page 46). In this case, the volume cannot be controlled  
when you select a component other than TV or AMP.  
The Commander fails to When you teach signals of an interactive signal exchange

system remote control unit (supplied with some of Sonys  
receivers and amplifiers) to the Commander, the response

- Change the distance between remote commanders.

Learned signals or the Channel Macro function have been

copying function (page 46). Clear the contents (page 19, 29)  
and try the copying procedure again.  
You may try to program the Power-On function (page 44) for

components.

you want to set the learning, Channel Macro or component  
macro function. Clear the learned signals (page 19, 29) and try

You may select the component name for which the Channel  
Macro function cannot be programmed. You can program the  
Channel Macro function of the components of which the first  
digit of the four-digit preset component code number is 3, 8  
or 9 (page 48).  
You may select the component function label for which the  
Channel Macro function cannot be programmed. The learned  
signal or the Channel Macro function have been programmed  
for that label. Clear the learned signal (page 29) or the  
Channel Macro function (page 50).  
The program contents you want to change are set to be  
executed by the timer. Set the timer setting in which that  
program is included not to be executed (page 58), and edit the  
program contents.  
You may try to operate the preset function (page 13) after  
operating the learning function (page 23). You cannot operate  
the preset function after operating the learning function.

A system control  
program does not  
function correctly.  
Make sure that you have programmed the commands in the  
correct order (page 34).  
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 the components properly to receive commands (page  
38).  
The component codes are changed or new signals have been  
learned for a label that has been programmed with a series of  
commands. In this case, the new signals are transmitted when  
the series of commands is executed.  
The interval may be too short. See Changing the interval  
between operation steps(page 42) and set a longer interval,  
or adjust the series of commands by changing the order of  
buttons and labels. (When programming the system control  
function, you can make an interval by pressing the TIMER  
button.)

function as expected.  
- Check that the timer macro program functions correctly by  
pressing the TEST key, after programming the timer (page  
58).  
- Check the location of the Commander.  
The status of each component is not suitable for operation.  
(For example, you program the power-on setting, assuming  
that power of the component is off when the timer turns on.  
However, if power of the component is on when the  
component receives the timer signal from the Commander,  
the component will turn off.)  
The timer program is  
executed in the next  
week or on the next day  
though that program has  
been already executed.  
The timer program contents you have set on this Commander  
repeat weekly or daily. If you want to execute the timer  
program once, set the timer standby mode to off after the  
execution of the timer program (page 58).
