Notes
• If you have already programmed any signal
for the VOLUME or MUTING button of each
component by “learning,” the procedure
above will not change the function of the
VOLUME and MUTING buttons.
• If you have programmed volume control
signals on VOLUME or MUTING 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 program each
button for each component by the learning
procedure (page 21).
Executing a Series of
Commands
— System Control Functions
With the System Control function, you can
program 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.
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 1.
6 Start video playback.
You can program 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 39), 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 43).
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.
