z When to replace batteries
Under normal conditions, the batteries should last for about 6
months. When the remote no longer operates the receiver,
replace both batteries with new ones.
Notes
• Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or humid place.
• Do not use a new battery with an old one.
• Do not expose the remote sensor of the receiver to direct
sunlight or lighting apparatuses. Doing so may cause a
malfunction.
• If you don’t use the remote for an extended period of time,
remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from battery
leakage and corrosion.

You can program the remote to control other components
by changing the code or non-Sony components. Once the
control signals have been memorized, you can use those
components as part of your system.
Furthermore, you can also program this remote for Sony
components that the remote is unable to control. Note
that the remote can control the components that accept
infrared wireless control signals only.
Program indicator: Lights up during programming
operations.
?/1, AV ?/1, MASTER VOLUME – : Press these buttons
at the same time to reset all the function buttons to the
factory settings and to clear the programmed signals set
for operation of non-Sony components.
Numeric buttons: Use when changing the factory
settings of the function buttons or specifying the maker of
the component that you want to control using the remote.
Notes
• The settings of PHONO and TUNER cannot be changed.
• When you assign a component to the TV CONTROL button,
you can operate the programmed component without changing
the function of the receiver.
ENTER D.TUNING: Use when changing the factory
settings of the function buttons or setting the remote to
operate non-Sony components.
1 Press IR SET.
The program indicator lights up.
Function buttons: Come with factory settings that can be
changed to suit the components you have.
2 Press the function button for the component you
w ant to control.
IR SET: Press to set the remote to operate non-Sony
For example, if you are going to control a CD player,
press CD.
components.
3 Press the numeric buttons to enter the numeric
code (or one of the codes if more than one code
exist) corresponding to the component and the
make of the component you w ant to control.
See the tables on pages 14 and 15 for information on
the numeric code(s) corresponding to the component
and the maker of the component (the first digit and
the last two digits of the numeric code(s) correspond
to the category and the maker’s code respectively).
4 Press ENTER D.TUNING.
When the program indicator flashes twice, the
component(s) can then be controlled using this
remote.
5 Repeat Steps 1 to 4 to control other components.
12
z If programming is unsuccessful, check the following:
• If the program indicator does not light up in Step 1, the
batteries are weak. Replace both batteries.
Th e n u m e ric co d e s co rre sp o n d in g t o t h e
co m p o n e n t a n d t h e m a ke r o f t h e
co m p o n e n t
• If you do not do Step 2 within twenty seconds after pressing
the IR SET button in Step 1, the remote automatically exits
programming mode. Start again from Step 1.
Use the numeric codes in the tables below to control non-
Sony conponents and also Sony components that the
remote is normally unable to control. Since the remote
signal that a component accepts differs depending on the
model and year of the component, more than one numeric
code may be assigned to a component. If you fail to
program your remote using one of the codes, try using
other codes.
Notes
• To redo a setting during programming, press IR SET to return
to step 2.
• After Step 1, only the first function button that is pressed will
register. If you press more than one function button, it will not
register.
• In step 3, only the first three numbers entered are valid.
• If you enter an unidentified preset number, the program
indicator goes off without flashing after pressing ENTER
D.TUNING in step 4, then the remote exits programming
mode. The previously programmed settings are memorized.
Notes
• The numeric codes are based on the latest information available
for each brand. There is a chance, however, that your
component will not respond to some or all of the codes.
• All of the functions on this remote may not be available when
used with your particular component.
Cle a rin g a ll p ro g ra m m e d sig n a ls
To clear all the programmed signals, do the following
procedure. The remote is reset to its factory-setting.
First press dow n MASTER VOLUME –, then AV ?/1,
and then ?/1 until the program indicator flashes three
times, then goes off.
