Design and specifications subject to change without notice.

Setting Up the Remote . ^. .

Commander ^^

Before you can start using the Remote Commander, you must

first set it up. This booklet describes everything you need to

know to set up the Remote Commander, including:

Installing the batteries (instructions are on page 5)

Presetting the Remote Commander with the codes for your

TV, VCR, MDP and cable box (instructions begin on page 6)

About Presetting the Remote Commander .

To set up this Remote Commander to use with other (non-

Sony) manufacturer's TVs, VCRs, MDPs and cable boxes,

you'll need to follow the instructions in this booklet to preset

the Remote Commander with the correct code number.^ „^^^

Note:

The Remote Commander can be set up to operate up to two

components (DSS®, TV, cable box) at a time — unless their

code numbers happen to be the same. For example, you can set

up the Remote Commander to operate two TVs by setting their

codes into the FUNCTION buttons—CABLE and TV. For VCR

and MDP operation, the Remote Commander can be set up to

operate up to four components (VCR, MDP) by switching the

slide switch inside the Remote Convmander's hd.

Installing the Batteries

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.

Notes on Batteries

Under normal conditions, batteries will last up to six

months. If the Remote Commander does not operate

properly or the indicators of the buttons on the Remote

Commander do not light up, the batteries may be worn out.

When replacing batteries, replace both of them with new

ones.

Do not mix old batteries with new ones or mix different

types of batteries together.

Whenever you remove the batteries — to replace them, for

example — the code numbers revert to the factory settings

and must be reset.

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

don't plan to use the Remote Commander for a long period

of time.

Setting the Code

step 1: Entering the Remote Commander's ID

Code

In addition to having infrared transnussion, this Remote

Commander includes RF transmission, which allows you to

control your Sony brand DSS receiver from another room if

your component supports RF remote control. However, your

Remote Commander may be interfered with by the same type

of Remote Commander that is used nearby. To prevent this,

set the Commander's ID code. For the procedure of setting

your ID code, see the instruction manual of your DSS receiver.

Step 2: Entering the Code Number for Your ',,,

Component

1 Turn off the component you want to set up.

2 Turn to "Component Code Numbers" on page 16, and find

the three-digit code number for your component.

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 VCR,

you would use code ,

number 310.

Brand Component Code No.

Philips VCR

310,308,309

If your component is not listed, see "Setting Up a Non-

preprogrammed Component" on page 9.

Press the CODE SET button.

The TV and CABLE indicators on

the Remote commander flash,

indicating that the Remote

Commander is in preset mode.

4 Press the FUNCTION button (TV function-cable

or CABLE) for the component you're

setting up. ^_ ^ ^,.....__,

To set up your VCR or MDP, set the

slide switch inside the Remote

Commander to any position.

5 Enter the component's code number.

For example, if you're entering the

code for a Philips VCR, you would

press 3, 1 and 0.

@©®

6 Press the ENTER button to store the

code number in the Remote

Commander's memory.

step 3: Checking If the Code Number Works

Aim the Remote Commander at the

component and press the POWER

button that corresponds to your

component. The component should

turn on.

When the component turns on,

check that the Remote Commander

is operating the other functions of

your component. Press the CH +/-

buttons.

If the Remote Commander Doesn't Seem to Be

Working ...

First, try repeating these setup procedures using the other

codes listed for your component (see page 16).

If — after trying all the codes listed for your component — 

you still cannot get the Remote Commander to work

properly, try the learning function described under "Setting

Up a Non-preprogrammed Component" on page 9.

If the Remote Commander is Working Properly ...

You're finished setting up the Remote Commander for this

component.

You'll need to complete these procedures for each

component you plan to use with the Remote Commander. "

Troubleshooting

If you're having problems setting up or using the

Remote Commander:

When setting up the Remote Commander, carefully go through the

procedures described under "Setting the Code" on page 6. If the

code that's listed first for your component doesn't work, try all the

codes for your component — in the order in which they're listed. If

all the codes fail to work (or if your component is not listed in this

manual), try using the procedures under "Setting up a Non-pre¬

programmed component" on page 9. If, after trying all this, you still

cannot get the Remote Commander to operate properly, see

"Customer Support Information" below.

For non-RF components, check that you're aiming the Remote

Commander directly at the component, and that there are no

obstructions between the Remote Commander and the component.

Make sure the batteries you're using are not worn out, and that

they're inserted correctly. Note that whenever you remove the

batteries — to replace them, for example — if too much time is

taken, the code numbers revert to the factory settings and must be

reset.

When using the Remote Commander, note that some buttons work

exclusively with specific components. These buttons also function

independent of any component operation mode. For example, you

can use the TV/VTR to control the VCR even if any FUNCTION

button is pressed. For a complete list of the buttons that work

independently, see the highlighted buttons in the table on pages 12

through .15.

Make sure you've set your Remote Commander's ID code if you are

using RF transmission. Note that your Remote Commander may be

interfered with by the same type of Remote Commander that is used

nearby. See the instruction manual of your Sony DSS receiver with

RF control capability.

Customer Support Information

If — after you have read through this manual — you stiU cannot get

the Remote Commander to work properly, call the SONY DIGITAL

SATELLITE SYSTEM INFORMATION CENTER at 1-800-838-7669.
