Preparations

This chapter describes how to prepare

the remote commander for operation.

Be sure to read this section before

operating.

Compatible Components

and Functions

This unit is a remote control system that utilizes infrared

rays to control an amplifier and AV components

connected to the amplifier.

Compatible Components

This unit can be used to operate Sony AV components as

well as AV components manufactured by other

manufacturers. Set up is necessary in order to operate

components manufactured by other companies (see page

19).

Note

Depending on the component, control may not be possible using

this unit.

Functions

This unit is a bidirectional remote commander. Not only

does it transmit infrared rays for operation of the

amplifier, it can also receive infrared rays emitted by the

amplifier to display characters and other information

supplied by other components connected to the amplifier

with a CONTROL A1 cord.

Preparations

Please be sure to carry out the procedures described in

“Setting up the commander” on page 6 after inserting the

batteries.

Inserting batteries into the commander

Insert the four size-AA (LR6) alkaline batteries (for

commander operation) and lithium battery (for

preservation of the commander’s internal memory).

1 Remove the battery compartment cover.

2 Insert the alkaline batteries.

3 Insert the lithium battery.

After wiping the lithium battery thoroughly with a

dry cloth, insert it into the compartment with the

positive (+) pole side facing up.

Preparing the Commander

4 Close the battery compartment cover.

After inserting the batteries, touching the touch panel

turns on the light and displays the touch panel (LCD)

adjustment screen. Follow the procedure on the next

page for touch panel adjustment and initial

communication.

Notes

• The LCD lights up when touched.

• VOL +/–, MUTING and SLEEP can be used even when the

LCD is not lit.

• If the commander is not used for approx. 10 seconds, the LCD

turns off automatically (Auto Off function).

Preparations

Touch panel adjustment

3 Adjust the position of the touch panel’s LCD.

Touch the center of each of the 4 dots with the touch

pen. When all 4 dots have been touched “Adjusted”

appears, a buzzer sounds, and the initial

communication screen appears.

Caution

Touch panel adjustment must be carried out for proper panel

operation. If used without adjustment, the ”Touch Panel

Adjustment” screen appears each time the LCD lights up.

Initial communication

4 Press U on the amplifier to turn on the amplifier.

5 Point the commander’s transmitter/receiver section

toward the amplifier, and touch OK.

Once initial communication with the amplifier has

been established, the commander is ready to operate

the amplifier.

Setting up the commander

Please be sure to carry out the following 1 to 5 procedures

for preparation of the commander.

The commander’s panel is touch sensitive and can be

operated by simply touching it.

1 Remove the touch pen.

When returning the touch pen, always slide it in tip

first.

Caution

Use only the touch pen provided with this unit or the soft tip

of your finger to operate the touch panel. Using a

commercially available writing utensils may damage the

panel and make correct operation impossible. If the tip of the

touch pen is damaged, or the touch pen is lost, please consult

your nearest Sony dealer.

2 Turn CONTRAST to adjust brightness of the LCD.

Touch the 4 dots with the touch pen.

Preparations

Note

• To ensure good communication conditions, carry out initial

setup from directly in front of, and close to the amplifier.

• Do not move the unit during initial setup.

If a communication error occurs during setup

An error message will be displayed.

• Touching OK will return to the step 5 setup screen.

• Touching SKIP goes to the regular screen without

carrying out initial setup. Although operation is

possible in this condition, functions not included on the

amplifier will be displayed, and some buttons will not

be operable. Also, the initial setup screen will appear

each time the touch panel is turned on.

Note

The commander receives and displays data transmitted from the

amplifier. Communication errors may occur if the commander’s

transmitter/receiver section is not directed properly toward the

amplifier.

Be sure to point the commander’s transmitter/receiver section

towards the amplifier.

When replacing the batteries

To ensure preservation of the commander’s internal

memory when replacing batteries, be sure to observe the

following cautions.

When to replace batteries

When the batteries become weak, a warning sounds and a

message is displayed. Replace batteries as instructed by

the message.

How to remove the lithium battery

Notes

• Disc titles and song titles downloaded from the CD changer are

memorized in the commander. The lithium battery is used for

preservation of this memory. If the unit is used with an

exhausted battery, the settings memorized in the commander

will be erased. Please replace the battery as soon as the message

appears.

• Replace the alkaline batteries with new batteries as soon as

their charge is exhausted. If the unit is used with exhausted

batteries, exhaustion of the lithium battery used to maintain

memory will be quickened and the memorized settings may be

erased.

• The life span of batteries may be shortened depending on the

conditions in which the commander is used.

• If the alkaline batteries and lithium battery become exhausted

at the same time, replace the alkaline batteries first. Replacing

the lithium battery first will erase the data memorized in the

commander.

• When replacing the alkaline batteries, always replace all 4

batteries with new ones.

• After replacing batteries, be sure to carry out touch panel

adjustment (page 6).
