6 Hold COMMANDER OFF
pressed for more than 2 seconds
to turn the Commander off.
If you keep COMMANDER OFF
pressed for less than 2 seconds, the
display returns to the previous setting
mode.
Notes
• If you have already programmed any signal
for the 2 or % button of each component by
“learning,” the procedure above will not
change the function of the 2 and % buttons.
• If you have programmed volume control
signals on 2 or % buttons of TV or AMP,
you can only use that signal when you select
TV or AMP. For other component, the preset
volume control signals for TV or AMP
(depending on the above setting procedure)
will be transmitted. To use the new signals,
you need to programme each button for each
component by the learning procedure (page
20).
Executing a Series of
Commands
— System Control Functions
With the System Control function, you
can programme a series of operating
commands, and execute them by
pressing just one button.
For example, when you watch a video, a
series of operations like the ones below
are necessary.
COMMANDER

Continued
Example:
1 Turn on the TV.
2 Turn on the video (VCR).
3 Turn on the amplifier.
4 Set the input selector of the amplifier
to VIDEO 1.
5 Set the input mode of the TV to VIDEO.
6 Start video playback
You can programme up to 32 consecutive
operation steps to each of the SYSTEM
CONTROL buttons (1-3) or the Label
keys (SYSTEM 4-15).
If you have set the System Control
function for a Component Select button
or a Label key (page 38), the execution of
the programmed commands begins
when you press the Component Select
button for more than 2 seconds.
The component macro executing time is
variable by changing the setting (page 42).
While executing the programmed
commands, at the same time that each
remote control signal is transmitted, the
corresponding key is displayed.
Preset programs for the SYSTEM
CONTROL 1 and 3 buttons
The SYSTEM CONTROL 1 and 3 buttons
are preset at the factory to execute each
program as follows.
SYSTEM CONTROL 1 button:
Turn off all the Sony components that
could receive the signal from the
Commander at the same time.
SYSTEM CONTROL 2 button:
Turn on all the Sony components that
could receive the signal from the
Commander at the same time.
