In it’s default condition this remote control will operate the basic functions of this Sony TV, Sony DVDs and 
most Sony VCRs. To control VCRs and DVDs of other manufacturers (and some Sony VCR models), the 
remote control needs to be configured.

• Before you start, look up the 3 digit code for your brand of DVD or VCR from the list below. 

On those brands that have more than one code, enter the first code number.

• Sony will endeavour to update the software according to market changes. Therefore, please 

refer to the code table included with the remote control for latest code set.

• A small label is provided inside the battery door to allow you to record your brand codes.

Press and hold the 

>

 button on the remote control for approximately 6 

seconds until the green DVD and VCR light of the Media Selector starts 
flashing (see fig. 1).

While the VCR and DVD lights are flashing, enter all three digits of the 

code for your brand of VCR or DVD (see the list below) using the number 
buttons on the remote control (see fig. 2). 

 If your selected code is entered correctly, the green VCR or DVD 

light (according to your selection) will be lit momentarily (see fig. 
3), otherwise repeat all the above steps.

Turn on your VCR or DVD and check that the main functions (playback, 

stop, rewind, fast forward and channel selection for both VCR and DVDs 
as well as Menu and cursors buttons only for DVDs) work.

•  If your device is not working or some of the functions do not work please check that you 

entered the correct code or try the next code listed against the brand. 

• Not all brands are covered and not all models of every brand may be covered.

Always remember to press the 

>

 or

 button until the green light iluminates according to 

the equipment you want to operate with this remote control: VCR, TV or DVD. Refer to pages 
48 -49 on how to operate the AUX mode.
