On-screen control of Audio/Video components

The TA-VE800G Integrated AV Amplifier is an audio/video control centre with a unique interface. By connecting the

amplifier to your TV, an on-screen display appears and lets you operate the various connected audio/video

components. Use the remote to move the pointer (hand-shaped icon) on the on-screen display and select functions.

This unit’s on-screen display lets you control audio/video components as well as any other device that can be

controlled by an infrared remote control, such as lighting fixtures.

For details on how the amplifier controls other equipment, see page 6.

Introduction

A wide variety of sound fields including Dolby Pro Logic surround

Since the amplifier comes preset with 12 different sound fields (like HALL, THEATER, ARENA, etc.), you can enjoy exciting

sound effects simply by choosing one from the SOUND FIELD SELECT screen.

The amplifier also incorporates a Dolby Pro Logic decoder, so you can enjoy programmes recorded in Dolby Surround with

a surround effect similar to a movie theatre.

CD Changer Control

Connecting a Sony CD changer equipped with a Control A1 terminal allows you to access and display the disc information

stored in the CD changer in alphabetical order, numerical order, or by group name. You can also select the disc to be played

discs from the on-screen display using the amplifier’s remote.

GB

Understanding How the Amplifier Works

The remote control supplied with the TA-VE800G uses infrared (IR) rays to command the amplifier and control the

on-screen display.

Since this amplifier uses menu operations, you must connect a TV.

On-screen operation

1 The remote commander emits an infrared (IR) signal when you press direction control button (1 above).

2 This controls the movement of the pointer (hand icon) in the on-screen display (2 above).

3 When you move the pointer to an on-screen icon, and press the centre of the direction control button, the

infrared (IR) emitter transmits the corresponding IR control code to the respective programme source (3

above).

If the screen does not appear or the pointer does not move when you press the direction control button

The IR code from the remote is not fully reaching the infrared receptor on the amplifier (1 above). Make sure there are no

obstacles between the remote and the amplifier.

If the programme source fails to respond or is slow to respond

The IR control code from the IR repeater is not fully reaching the infrared receptor on the programme source. Connect the extra

IR repeater (supplied) and position it facing the programme source (see “IR Repeater Hookups” on page 8).

If some of the programmed on-screen controls are unresponsive or slow, rerecord the IR codes for those buttons ( see

“Registering non-Sony Audio/Video equipment” on page 16).

The TV is used as a monitor

To watch TV programmes, use the TV tuner built into your VCR. The VCR controls in the on-screen display let you switch the

programme positions using the amplifier’s remote.

You can use the TV’s tuner when the amplifier is turned off, but operations must be performed using the remote supplied

with the TV.

IR Repeater Hookups

Overview

This section describes how to connect the supplied

extra infrared (IR) repeater to the amplifier. The

repeater emits infrared signals corresponding to those

emitted by the remote controls supplied with the

respective components. Connected this repeater to

obtain additional coverage if you experience difficulty

controlling a certain component using the amplifier’s

on screen display (OSD) control functions, or your

installation prevents the repeater on the front panel

from reaching all of the equipment you need to control.

For the specific location of the terminal, see the

illustration below.

Hookups

Notes

• Use the supplied adhesive tape to secure the IR repeater

so that its front faces the equipment to be controlled.

• If you experience trouble controlling the connected

equipment, the infrared (IR) signals transmitted from the

repeater may not be reaching the infrared receptor on the

respective equipment. In such a case, reposition the IR

repeater closer to that piece of equipment.

Preparing and Using the Remote

Inserting Batteries Into the

Remote

1 Open the cover on the bottom of the remote.

2 Insert two size -AA (R6) batteries with correct

polarity (+/–).

3 Close the cover.

To avoid damage caused by battery leakage and

corrosion

Remove the batteries when the commander will not be

used for a long time.

Battery life

• Normal operation can be expected about three

months using Sony SUM-3 (NS), and a half year

using Sony AM-3 (NW) alkaline batteries. Since the

remote consumes power whenever you pick it up

and an on-screen display appears, the service life of

the batteries may be less than three months,

depending on how much you handle the remote.

• Do not expose the remote sensor to direct sunlight or

lighting apparatuses. Doing so may cause a

malfunction.

• If you experience difficulty operating the INPUT, number,

or ENTER buttons of a video deck or laserdisc player after

automatic registration from the manufacturer list in step 5.

Programme the IR codes for that equipment manually as

shown in step 6.

• On some laser disc players made by other manufacturers,

the ) and 0 buttons may not operate correctly even

after automatically registration from the manufacturer list

in step 5. If this happens, perform step 6 to manually

programme the IR codes for the ) and 0 buttons, as

well as any other buttons that you want to use with the

laser disc player.

Preparing and Using the Remote

Notes

• Do not register the same type of component (i.e., an LD

player) at several different functions.

• The unit emits an IR signal that cancels the automatic

playback function of programme sources, such as laser

disc and CD players, designed to start playing the

moment they are turned on. To activate the auto play

feature, set the amplifier’s AUTO PLAY function to on.

• Keep the infrared sensor away from fluorescent light or

direct sunlight. Otherwise, the IR codes may not be

recorded.

• Even if the mains lead has been disconnected from the

mains, recorded IR codes will stay in the memory for

approximately two weeks. If they disappear, “ALL

CLEAR!” will appear on the TV screen the next time you

turn on the amplifier.

• Do not operate the remote supplied with the TA-VE800G

when “PUSH YOUR COMMANDER” appears on the TV

screen in step 6. Programming IR codes from the supplied

remote may cause the TA-VE800G to malfunction.
