Features

The RM-VL700T Remote Commander provides centralized control of

all your AV components from a single remote commander and saves

the trouble of operating different AV components with different remote

control devices. The following are its main features.

Centralized control of Sony AV components with this one

remote commander

This Commander is preset at the factory to operate Sony brand

components, so you can use it out of the box as a control centre for

your Sony AV components.

Remote control signals for non-Sony components are also preset

This Commander is preset for most major brands components

including Sony. You can remote control your components by setting

the type and code number of each component (page 8).

Learning function for programming various other remote

control signals

This Commander has a Learning function, to “learn” the remote

control signals needed to operate other non-preset components or

functions. (To “teach” such signals to this Commander, use the remote

control supplied with the non-preset components.) (See page 15.)

In addition, the Commander can “learn” remote control signals

(infrared signals only) of non-Audio Visual components such as air-

conditioners, lights, etc. (Some specific appliances or functions may

not be available.) (page 23.)

Reassigning new components

You can assign Component Select buttons to freely operate other

components. This is useful when you have more than two of the same

kind of AV component (only if a Component Select button is free). (See

page 27.)

Getting Started

Installing the

Batteries

Slide open the battery

compartment lid and insert two

size R6(AA) batteries (not

supplied). Be sure to match up the

+ and – indications on the

batteries with the + and –

indications on the battery

compartment.

When to replace the

batteries

Batteries for remote control

operation (two size R6 (AA)

batteries)

Under normal conditions, the

batteries will last up to six

months. If the Commander does

not operate properly, the batteries

might be drained. When this

happens, replace the batteries with

new ones.

Note

Do not take more than one hour to

replace the batteries. Otherwise, your

setting of the code numbers (page 8)

and “learned” remote control signals

(page 15) will be erased.

Notes on batteries

• Do not use an old battery with a new

one 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 not to use

the Commander for a long period of

time.

Insert the batteries negative-and-

first through the guide clamp

within each compartment as

shown above.
