This chapter describes how to change the
factory setting of a function button and how to
set the remote to control non-Sony
components.
Selecting the mode of the
remote
Set the remote mode using the USE MODE
button and the remote mode buttons.
Selecting the command mode
You can switch the command mode (AV1 or
AV2) of the remote. If the command mode of
the receiver and the remote is different, you
cannot use the remote to operate the receiver.
Press 1 (AV1) (or 2 (AV2)) while pressing
down USE MODE.
The indicator lights once (twice for AV2) , then
the command mode switches.
Setting to the 2nd room mode.
You can use the remote to select the function
for the 2nd room (2nd room mode). You can
use the function buttons only for the 2nd room.
Press 2ND while pressing down USE
MODE.
The indicator lights for a while, then the mode
switches to the 2nd room mode.
Tips
•If you press a function button while pressing down
SOURCE, you can select the function for the 2nd
room even though the mode is not set to the 2nd
room mode.
•If you press SOURCE only, you can output the
source signal of the current function of the receiver
to the amplifier in the 2nd room.
Advanced Remote Operations
To check the mode of the remote
Press USE MODE. You can check the remote
by the indicator.
Mode Indicator lights
AV1 once
AV2 twice
2ND once (for a while)
To reset the remote to factory
settings
Press =/1, AV =/1, and MASTER VOL – at
the same time.
The indicator lights 3 times, then goes off.
Programming the remote
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.
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
You cannot program the SOURCE button.
1Press AV ?/1 while pressing down USE
MODE.
The indicator lights.
2Press the function button (including

GB
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 2, if you press TV ?/1, only TV VOL +/–,
TV CH +/–, TV/VIDEO and WIDE buttons are
reprogrammed.
•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.
•For the numeric codes, only the first three numbers
entered are valid.
To clear the memory of the remote
To clear all programmed and learned signals,
do the following to reset the remote to factory
settings.
Press ?/1, AV ?/1 and MASTER VOL – at
the same time.
The indicator flashes 3 times, then goes off.
The numeric codes corresponding to
the component and the maker of the
component
Use the numeric codes in the tables below to
control non-Sony components and also Sony
components that the remote is normally unable
to control. Since the remote signal that a
component accepts differs depending on the
model and year of the component, more than
one numeric code may be assigned to a
component. If you fail to program your remote
using one of the codes, try using other codes.
Notes
•The numeric codes are based on the latest
information available for each brand. There is a
chance, however, that your component will not
respond to some or all of the codes.
•All of the functions on this remote may not be
available when used with your particular
component.
continued
3Press the numeric buttons to enter the
numeric code (or one of the codes if
more than one code exists)
corresponding to the component and
the maker of the component you want
to control.
See the tables on pages 12 and 13 for
information on the numeric code(s)
corresponding to the component and the
maker of the component (the first digit and
the last two digits of the numeric code
correspond to the category and the maker’s
code respectively.)
4Press ENTER.
Once the numeric code has been verified,
the indicator slowly flashes twice and the
remote automatically exits the programming
mode.
5Repeat steps 1 to 4 to control other
components.
To cancel programming
Press USE MODE during any step. The remote
automatically exits the programming mode.
To activate the function after
programming.
Press the programmed button to activate the
function you want.
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.

3Point the remote control code receiver
section of the remote towards the
receiver/transmitter on the remote
control to be learned.
4Press the appropriate button on the
remote control to be learned to send
the remote button code.
Lightly pressing the button once should be
sufficient.
If learning is completed successfully, the
indicator slowly flashes twice and the
remote automatically exits the learning
mode.
When learning is not completed
successfully, the indicator flashes 4 times in
quick succession and the procedure returns
to step 4.
5Repeat steps 1 through 4 to program up
to 10 IR codes.
Tip
If programming is unsuccessful, check the follwing:
– If the indicator does not light up in step 1, the
batteries are weak. Replace both batteries.
– If the indicator lights 4 times in quick
succession in step 3, an error has occured. Start
again from step 1.
To cancel programming
Press USE MODE during any step. The remote
automatically exits the macro setting mode.
To delay the output of an IR code
Start over from step 1. In step 3, press each
button as shown below momentarily.
• Press M1 (TV/SAT) when the macro setting
is M1.
• Press M2 (TAPE) when the macro setting is
M2.
1 second delay is programmed at this program
step. The indicator lights twice slowly, then the
remote automatically exits the macro setting
mode.
To clear the programmed IR codes
Clear each macro step individually. In step 3,
press each button as shown below for more
than 2 seconds.
• Press M1 (TV/SAT) when the macro setting
is M1.
• Press M2 (TAPE) when the macro setting is
M2.
The IR code is cleared. The indicator lights
twice slowly, then the remote automatically
exits the macro setting mode.
To start macro play
Press M1 (TV/SAT) or M2 (TAPE) while the
ALT indicator turns ON.
Note
If the Macro Play function does not work properly,
program a delay between each operation. See “To
delay the output of an IR code”.
