Operating your
components
There are two ways to operate the
components on the Remote Commander
(RM-AX4000).
• XPRESS operation: You can operate
multiple AV components related to a
specific task, such as “watching a TV, ”
or “watching a DVD,” etc. This is
called an “XPRESS function.”
• Single component operation: You can
operate each AV component
individually (page 27).
What is the XPRESS
function?
An “XPRESS function” is an executable
series of commands that operate several
AV components, just by pressing one key.
For example, you have to perform the
following operations sequentially to
watch a DVD using a TV, receiver/
amplifier, and DVD player.
1. Turn on the TV.
2. Set the input mode of the TV to
VIDEO1.
3. Turn on the receiver/amplifier.
4. Set the input selector of the
receiver/amplifier to DVD.
5. Turn on the DVD player.
6. Start DVD playback.
By setting the above commands as an
XPRESS function, you can watch a DVD
by simply pressing one key.
Also, XPRESS function can memorize the
status of power on/off, input selector for
each component, and send a signal to
synchronize the status which you want
without reference to the component's
status.
Some XPRESS functions are preset at the
factory to operate Sony brand
components (see the table at right).
However, depending on the factory
preset code, they may not necessarily be
effective.
