About the factory setting
The Remote Commander is preset at the
factory to operate most Sony brand AV
components (see the table below).
If you operate a non-Sony AV
component, you need to set the
component’s preset code on the Remote
Commander first.

How to set up the Remote
Commander (On-PC Setup
and On-Remote Setup)
There are two ways to make settings for
the Remote Commander, “On-PC Setup”
with the aid of PC software and “On-
Remote Setup” directly on the Remote
Commander.
• On-PC Setup (Recommended)
“On-PC Setup” uses the supplied
software for your PC, “AX Remote
Editor” to set up the Remote
Commander. By following the wizard,
it allows you to easily make all the
necessary settings for the Remote
Commander (components’ preset
codes, etc.,). Furthermore, you can add
and customize a range of settings
which are not available with On-
Remote Setup.
• On-Remote Setup
“On-Remote Setup” is a way of setting
up directly with the Remote
Commander. However, some advanced
settings are not available with On-
Remote setup (see the table on page
14).
See “Setting procedure for On-PC Setup”
(page 14), or “Setting procedure for On-
Remote Setup” (page 15) for each setting
method.
IMPORTANT
You cannot use both methods. Once you
set up the Remote Commander by either
On-PC Setup (recommended) or On-
Remote Setup, you cannot make
additional settings using the other
method. You can only delete the entire
setup and start over using the other setup
method.
