Setting Up the Remote Commander
About Presetting the Commander
The Commander is preset at the factory to operate Sony brand
components.
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 (non-Sony)
manufacturers’ components, or to use with a component that is not
preset at the factory, 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.)
Component that can be preset Button Factory setting

VCR VCR Sony VHS VCR

Notes
+ The Commander can be set up to operate only one component per
button — unless their code numbers happen to be the same. For
example, you cannot set up the Commander to operate a Sony TV
and a Panasonic TV simultaneously (because they use different
code numbers).
+ You may not be able to operate even a Sony brand component with
the factory presetting. In such a case, follow the procedure in
“Setting the Code.”
