• Using this Commander will not add new functions to your components.
The functions of the Commander are limited to the functions of the
components itself. For example, if your TV does not have a mute
function, the ¤ button on this Commander will not function with your
TV.
Thus you can control the volume of your TV or amplifier (or
receiver) while operating a video or audio component without first
having to change the Commander’s slide switch to the TV or AMP.
For example, to control the volume for your VCR channels, you
don’t need to change the slide switch from VCR to TV.
However, if your video components are connected to an audio
system, you probably hear your TV’s or VCR’s sound from the
loudspeakers via your amplifier (or receiver), not from your TV
speakers. In this case, you need to change the factory setting so that
you can control the volume of your video components without first
having to switch to the amplifier (or receiver). To change the factory
setting for the volume control, follow the procedures below.

See the supplied “Component Code Numbers” table, and find the
two-character code number for your component.
If more than one code number is listed, use the number listed first
to complete the steps that follow. For example, if you’re setting
up a Philip’s TV, you would use 11 as the code number.
If your component is not listed, see “Searching for the Correct
Code”.
If you’re using the Commander with a Sony component, you won’t
need to preset the Commander before you start using it.
To set up the Commander to use with other manufacturers’ (non-
Sony) components, you’ll need to follow the instructions in this
manual to preset the Commander with the correct code number for
your components. (See the supplied “Component Code Numbers”
also.)

• When setting up the Commander, carefully go through the
procedures described under “Setting the Code”. 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 “Searching for the Correct
Code”.
• Check that you’re aiming the Commander directly at the
component, and that there are no obstructions between the
Commander and the component.
• Make sure the batteries you’re using are not worn out, and that
they’re inserted correctly.
• Check that the slide switch of the Remote Commander is set to the
position (VCR, AMP, CD, SAT/ AUX or TV) for your desired
component.
• If you cannot preset a component to the SAT/ AUX, AMP or CD
position of the slide switch, a component type different from that
of the component you intend to preset may be preset to that
position. In such a case, enter the code number first, following the
procedure in “Entering the Code Number for Another TV, VCR,
Amplifier (or receiver), CD Player or Satellite tuner”.
• Check that the component has infrared remote capability. For
example, if your component didn’t come with a remote control, it
probably isn’t capable of being controlled by the Remote
Commander.
• If your video components are connected to an audio system, make
sure you’ve set up the Commander as described in “Controlling
the Volume of Video Components Connected to an Audio System”.
• Should any problem persist, reset the Commander to the factory
setting by pressing the u, … and Á– buttons simultaneously.

However, you cannot change the volume control of audio
