• You’re finished setting up the Commander for this component.
• If you’re setting up another component, you’ll need to complete
the procedure above for each component you plan to use with the
Commander.
En t e rin g t h e Co d e Nu m b e r fo r An o t h e r Co m p o n e n t
When you have two or more components of the same type (for
example, three VCRs), or when using an MD deck, you can set the
code number of the component’s type on an empty position of the
slide switch of the Remote Commander (AUX1, AUX2, SAT, or
TAPE position only).
You can set up either a visual or audio component regardless of the
position of the VISUAL/ AUDIO selector.
The following procedure explains how to set a code number for
another component on the AUX1 or AUX2 position.

By following the procedure below, you can change the volume
control of visual components. This setting is effective also if you set
other visual components in the AUX1/ AUX2 or SAT/ TAPE
position. However, you cannot change the volume control of audio
components.

example, you cannot set up the Commander to operate a Sony TV and a

• 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 internal rechargeable battery is not discharged.
• Check that your desired component is selected with the VISUAL/
AUDIO selector and the slide switch of the Remote Commander.
• If you cannot preset a component to the SAT/ TAPE or AUX1/
AUX2 position of the slide switch, a component type different from
that of the component you intend 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
Component”.
• 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.

With Fastext you can access pages with one key stroke. When a
Fastext page is broadcast, a colour-coded menu will appear at the

green, yellow and blue buttons on the Remote Commander.
Press the coloured button which corresponds to the colour-coded
menu. The page will be displayed after some seconds.
• Be sure to keep the Commander with the front facing upward and in a
well-lighted place. If you keep the Commander placed upside down or
in a dark place for an extended period of time, the internal rechargeable
battery will not be charged. If you continue using it without charging,
the rechargeable battery will be completely discharged.
• When the rechargeable battery becomes discharged, the operating range
of the Commander becomes narrower. Be sure to charge the battery
periodically by placing the Commander in a place such as a window
that lets in sufficient light.

If the component does not operate properly, repeat steps 2 to 5 and
search for another code. As the searching always start from 01, it
will stop again at the same code as the last searching. Pass the code
and continue searching until the next code by which the component
operates.
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 slide switch to the TV or AMP position.
For example, to control the volume for your VCR channels, you
don’t need to change the slide switch to the TV position.
However, if your video components are connected to an audio
system, you probably hear your TV’s or VCR’s sound from the
loudspeakers connected to 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
