Preparations  
This chapter describes how to prepare  
the remote commander for operation.  
Be sure to read this section before  
operating.  
This unit is a remote control system that utilizes infrared  
rays to control a receiver and AV components connected  
to the receiver.  
Co m p a t ib le Co m p o n e n t s  
This unit can be used to operate Sony AV components as  
well as AV components manufactured by other  
manufacturers. Set up is necessary in order to operate  
components manufactured by other companies (see page  
18).  
Fu n ct io n s  
This unit is a bidirectional remote commander. Not only  
does it transmit infrared rays for operation of the receiver,  
it can also receive infrared rays emitted by the receiver to  
display characters and other information supplied by  
other components connected to the receiver with a  
CONTROL A1 cord.

1 m ~ 2 m  
When the batteries become weak, a warning sounds and a  
message is displayed. Replace batteries as instructed by  
the message.  
Note  
• To ensure good communication conditions, carry out initial  
setup from directly in front of, and close to the receiver.  
• Do not move the unit during initial setup.

time the touch panel is turned on.  
Replace alkaline  
batteries.  
Replace lithium  
battery.  
Ho w t o re m o ve t h e lit h iu m b a t t e ry  
Note  
The commander receives and displays data transmitted from the  
receiver. Communication errors may occur if the commanders  
transmitter/ receiver section is not directed properly toward the  
receivers display.  
Be sure to point the commanders transmitter/ receiver section  
towards the receivers display.  
Notes  
• Disc titles and song titles downloaded from the CD changer are  
memorized in the commander. The lithium battery is used for  
preservation of this memory. If the unit is used with an  
exhausted battery, the settings memorized in the commander  
will be erased. Please replace the battery as soon as the message  
appears.  
• Replace the alkaline batteries with new batteries as soon as  
their charge is exhausted. If the unit is used with exhausted  
batteries, exhaustion of the lithium battery used to maintain  
memory will be quickened and the memorized settings may be  
erased.  
• The life span of batteries may be shortened depending on the  
conditions in which the commander is used.  
• If the alkaline batteries and lithium battery become exhausted  
at the same time, replace the alkaline batteries first. Replacing  
the lithium battery first will erase the data memorized in the  
commander.  
• When replacing the alkaline batteries, always replace all 4  
batteries with new ones.  
• After replacing batteries, be sure to carry out touch panel  
adjustment (page 6).
