Notes on System ControlOperations• If the remote control detectors of tile

components are too far apart, or if

something is blocking them, some of

the components may not operate

consecutively even after you press theSYSTEM CONTROL button or a Label

key.

• If some of the components did not

operate correctly because of the above

or for any other reason, always set all

the components back to the states they

were in before you pressed the SYSTEM

CONTROL button or a Label key.Failure to do this can result in incorrect

operation when you press the SYSTEM

CONTROL button or a Label key again.

• Some components may not always be

powered on by the System Control

function. This is because the power of

the component goes on and off

alternatively when receiving the power

on/off signal. In this case, check the

operating component's power on/off

state before using the system controlfunction.

If the power-on/off operation

does not work correctlyThe air-conditioner may not be turned on

"ON" with one butlon or key and "OFF"with another, while your air-

conditioner's remote control can operate"ON/OFF" with a single butlon or key,

program the signal on two buttons ork_ys of the Commander as follows.

1 Clear the learned power on/offsignal.(In the example on page 51, clear the

learned signal from the SYSTEMCONTROL 2 button.)

2 Program the signal {lransmitled fromthe power-on/off button of the air-conditioner's remote control) for the

tile unit, or it may cause a malfunction.• Do not leave the unit in a location hear

heat sources, or in a place subject to

direct sunlight, excessive dust or sand,moisture, rain or mechanical shock.

• Do not put foreign objects into tile unit.

Should any liquid or solid object fall

into the unit, have it checked by

qualified personnel before operating

tile unit any further.

• Do not expose tile remote control

detectors of your components to direct

sunlight or other strong illumination.

Too much light there can interfere with

remote control operations.

• Be sure to place tile Commander out of

tile reach of small children or pets.

Components such as air conditioners,

heaters, electric appliances, and electric

shutlers or curtains receiving an

infi'ared signal can be dangerous ifmisused.

Maintenance

Clean the surface with a soft cloth

slightly moistened with water or a mild

detergent solution. Do not use any typeof solvent such as alcohol, benzine or

thinner as they may damage the finish ofthe surface.

TroubleshootingIf you have problems setting up oi' using tile Romote Commander, first check the

batteries (page 7), then check the items below.

Symptom Remedy

YOU cannot operate the • Go closer to die componen_ The maximum operating distance iscomponents approximately 32.8 ft (I0 m7

• Check that you are aiming the Commander directly at the component,and that there are no obstl uctions between the Connnander and the

component• Turn on the components first, if necessary

• Check that the component has infi'ared remote capability For example,ff your component didn't come with a remote commander, it p_obablyisn't capable of being controlled by a remote commander

• You have assigned a different component to the Component Selectbutton or Label key A corresponding component is fixed by presetting

a component code number Therefore, the name of component you havepreset may be different from that of the Component Select button or theLabel key In this case, it is recommended to preset again (page 12) andchange the component name on the Mode Display key or the name ofthe Label key (page 23, 24)

• Set the component code correctly If the code that is listed first fo_ yourcomponent doesn't work, try all the codes for your component in theorder in which they are listed in the supplied '*Component CodeNumbers"

• Some f_atures may not be preset If some or all of the keys do notfunction correctly even after you }lave set the component codes, thenuse tile learning function to program the remote control signals for thecomponent (page 19).

• If your visual components are connected to an audio system, make sureyou've set up the Commander as described in "Controlling the Volumeof Visua! Components Connected to an Audio System" (page 29).

• You have assigned another component to the TV or AMP button (page45, 467 In this case, the volume cannot be contlolled when you select acomponent other than TV or AMP

• When you teach signals of an interactive signal exchange system remotecontrol unit (supplied with some of Sony's receivers and amplifiers7 tothe Commander, the response signal of the main unit may interfere withthe learning of die Commander. In StlCh a case, move to a place wherethe signals will not reach the main unit (eg other rooms, etc).

• Make stlre that the Remote Conlmander has learned the correct signalsIf not, see "For accurate learning" {page 25) and tiy the learningprocedure again (page 197

You cannot operate thecomponents even aftersetting the componentcode numbers.
