Setting up the remote commander

Notes
• With normal use, the batteries should last about three to six months.
• If  you do not use the remote commander for an extended period of time, remove the batteries 

to avoid possible damage from battery leakage.

• Do not use a new battery with an old one.
• Do not use different types of batteries.
• Do not leave the remote commander in an extremely hot or humid place.
• Do not drop any foreign object into the remote casing, particularly when replacing the batteries.
• Do not expose the remote sensor to direct light from the sun or lighting apparatus.  Doing so 

may cause a malfunction.

Insert two size AA (R6) batteries 
by matching the + and – on the 
batteries to the diagram inside the 
battery compartment.

Insert the negative (–) end first, 
then push in and down until the 
positive (+) end clicks into 
position.

You can use this remote 
commander to operate this DVD-
VCR and a Sony TV.  Buttons on 
the remote commander marked 
with an orange dot (•) can be used 
to operate your Sony TV.

Setting up the remote commander

The remote commander is preprogramed to control non-Sony TVs.  If your TV is 
listed in the following table, set the appropriate manufacturer’s code number.

Now you can use the ?/1, VOL +/–, CH +/–, MUTING*, TV/VIDEO and  ENTER*  
buttons to control your TV.  You can also use the buttons marked with a dot (•) to 
control a Sony TV.  To control the DVD-VCR, reset TV / DVD·VIDEO to 
DVD·VIDEO.

* for  Sony TV only

If more than one code number is listed, try entering them one at a time until you find 
the one that works with your TV.

Set TV / DVD·VIDEO at the top of the remote commander to TV.

Hold down ?/1, and enter your TV’s code number using the number buttons.  
Then release ?/1.
