Device Functions
Once the remote has been programmed for the
codes of other devices, press the appropriate
Input
Selector
dijl
–
o
to change the
remote from controlling the DCR600
II
and
DVD600
II
to controlling the additional product.
When you press any one of the selectors, it will
briefly flash in red to indicate that you have
changed the device being controlled.
When operating a device other than the
DCR600
II
or DVD600
II
, the controls may not
correspond exactly to the function printed on
the remote or button. Some commands, such as
the transport controls, will operate the same
way for that device as they do for the DCR600
II
and DVD600
II
. Other buttons will change their
function so that they correspond to a secondary
label on the remote. For example, the
Sleep
p
and
Surround Mode Selector
t
buttons
also function as the Channel Up and Channel
Down buttons when operating most TV sets,
VCRs or cable boxes. The Channel Up/Down
indication is printed directly on the remote. For
many standard CD players, cassette decks, VCRs
and DVD functions, the standard function icons
are printed on top of the buttons.
For some products, however, the function of a
particular button does not follow the command
printed on the remote. In order to see which
function a button controls, consult the Function
List tables on pages 26 and 27. To use those
tables, first check the type of device being con-
trolled (e.g., TV, VCR). Next, look at the remote
control diagram. Note that each button has a
number on it.
To find out what function a particular button has
for a specific device, find the button number on
the Function List and then look in the column for
the device you are controlling. For example,
button number 7 is the Macro 2 button for the
DCR600
II
, but it is the Repeat button for CD
players, and the Favorite Channels button for
cable boxes and satellite receivers. Button num-
ber 32 is the Delay button for the DCR600
II
, but
the Time button for CD players, and Preview
Channel button for many TVs, cable television
boxes and satellite services.
Notes on Using the Remote
With Other Devices
•
Manufacturers may use different code sets for
the same product category. For that reason, it
is important that you check to see whether the
code set you have entered operates as many
controls as possible. If it appears that only a
few functions operate, check to see whether
another code set will work with more buttons.
•
When a button is pressed on the remote,
the red light under the
Input Selector
d
h
–
jl
–
o
for the product being
operated should flash briefly. If the Device
Control Selector flashes for some but not all
buttons for a particular product, it does NOT
indicate a problem with the remote but rather
that no function is programmed for the button
being pushed. Consult the Function List on
pages 26 and 27. Blank squares indicate that
no function is programmed for that button for
the corresponding device. Consult the device‘s
owner‘s manual for further information.
Volume Control Punch-Through
The remote may be programmed to operate the
Volume Control
sw
and
Mute
c
func-
tions of either the TV or the DCR600
II
in conjunc-
tion with any of the devices controlled by the
remote. For example, since the DCR600

,
depending on which system’s volume control
you wish to have attached for the punch-
through mode. The

you pressed in Step 1 will blink
