• 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.

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.

Setting up the remote commander

The remote commander is preprogrammed 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 +/–, PROG +/–, MUTING*, TV/VIDEO, 0-9 and 

-/--* 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.

Notes
• If you enter a new code number, the code number previously entered will be erased.
• If the TV uses a different remote control system from the one programmed to work with the 

DVD-VCR, you cannot control your TV with the remote commander.

• When you replace the batteries of the remote commander, the code number may change.  Set 

the appropriate code number every time you replace the batteries.

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
