Installing the Batteries
(ill.
A
)
Slide open the battery compartment and insert
two size AA batteries (not supplied).
Be sure to line up the
]
and
}
on the batteries
with the
]
and
}
on the battery compartment.
When to replace the batteries
Under normal conditions, batteries will last up
to six months. If the Commander does not
operate properly, the batteries might be worn
out. Replace the batteries with new ones.
Notes
• Replace both batteries with new ones.
• Do not take more than 20 minutes to replace the
batteries; otherwise, your setting of the code
numbers will be erased.
Notes on Batteries
• Do not mix old batteries with new ones or mix
different types of batteries together.
• If the electrolyte inside the battery should leak,
wipe the contaminated area of the battery
compartment with a cloth and replace the old
batteries with new ones. To prevent the
electrolyte from leaking, remove the batteries
when you plan to not use the Commander for a
long period of time.
Setting the Code (ill.
B
)
This Remote Commander is preset at the factory
to operate Sony brand TVs (using code No.101).
If you’re using this Commander with a Sony
brand TV, you won’t need to preset the
Commander before you start using it.
To set up the Commander to use with other
(non-Sony) manufacturers’ TV, you’ll need to
follow the instructions below to preset the
Remote Commander with the correct code
number for your TV.
Notes
•The Commander can be set up to operate only
one TV at a time – unless their code numbers
happen to be the same. For example, you
cannot set up the Commander to operate a
Sony TV and a Panasonic TV at the same time
(because they use different code numbers).
•You may not be able to operate even a Sony
brand TV with the factory setting. In such a
case, follow the procedures below.
Step 1: Entering the Code Number
1
See the supplied “Component Code
Numbers” and find the three-digit code
number for your TV.
If more than one code number is listed, use
the number that’s listed first to complete the
steps that follow.
For example, if you’re setting up a Philips
TV, you would use code number
111
.
If your TV is not listed, see “Searching for
the Correct Code”.
2
Press the
POWER
button while pressing the
SET
button.
3
Enter the TV’s code number.
For example, if you’re entering the code for a
Philips TV, you would press and release
1
,
then press and release
1
, and then press and
release
1
.
Your Code Number
4
Press and release the
ENT
(Enter) button to
store the code number in the Commander’s
memory.
5
Go to “Step 2: Checking if the Code Number
Works” to finish setting up.
Step 2: Checking if the Code
Number Works
1
Power on the TV using the TV’s power
switch.
2
Aim the Remote Commander at the TV and
press the
POWER
button.
The TV should power off.
3
When the TV powers off, check that the
Commander is operating the other functions
of your TV, such as channel and volume
control.
If the Commander Doesn’t Seem
to Be Working...
• First, try repeating these setup procedures
using the other codes listed for your TV.
• If – after trying all the codes listed for your TV
– you still cannot get the Commander to work
properly, try the search method described
under “Searching for the Correct Code”.
• If you still cannot get the Commander to work
properly, see “Troubleshooting”.
If the Commander Seems to Be
Working Properly...
• You’re finished setting up the Commander for
this component.
Searching for the Correct Code
If you’ve tried all the code numbers listed for
your TV and you still cannot get the
Commander to work (or if your TV is not listed),
try these steps.
1
Power on the TV you want to set up with its
power switch.
2
Press the
POWER
button while pressing the
SET
button.
3
Press and release the
CH +
button. Then
press and release the
POWER
button.
4
Repeat step 3 until the correct code is found.
Pressing
CH +
and
POWER
repeatedly will
try every available code until the correct one
is found. Be patient as you do this; it may
take about 150 tries until the correct code
number is located.
5
When the power of the TV goes off, press
and release the
ENT
(Enter) button to store
the code number in the Commander’s
memory.
6
Check that the Commander is operating the
other functions of your TV. Press the
channel and volume control buttons. If it
seems to be working properly, you’re done
setting up the Commander.
If you still cannot get the Commander to work
properly, see “Troubleshooting”.
Operating a Component
1
Point the Commander directly at the TV.
2
Press the button for the function you want to
use.
See “Remote Button Descriptions” for
complete descriptions of the buttons on the
Commander.
Notes on Using the Remote
Commander
Basically, use this Commander in the same way as
the Commander supplied with your TV.
• Using this Commander will not increase the
functions of your TV. The functions of the
Commander are limited to the functions of the
components themselves. For example, if your TV
does not have a Recall function, the
RECALL
button on this Commander will not function with
your TV.
• Some functions of your TV may not work with
this Commander.

Troubleshooting
If you’re having problems setting
up or using the Remote
Commander:
• When setting up the Commander, carefully go
through the procedures described under
“Setting the Code”. If the code that’s listed
first for your TV doesn’t work, try all the
codes listed for your TV – in the order in
which they’re listed. If all the codes fail to
work (or if your TV is not listed in this
manual), try using the procedures under
“Searching for the Correct Code”.
• Check that you’re aiming the Commander
directly at the TV, and that there are no
obstructions between the Commander and the
TV.
• Make sure the batteries you’re using are not
worn out, and that they’re inserted correctly.
• Check that the TV has infrared remote
capability. For example, if your TV didn’t
come with a remote, it probably isn’t capable
of being controlled by a Remote Commander.
