Programming the Remote Control
The DSS receiver’s remote control is preset at the factory to operate
Sony brand TVs.
If you have a TV other than Sony brand, or you have other video
components that you want to control with the DSS receiver’s remote,
use the following procedures to program the remote.
Note
Your components must have infrared (IR) remote control capability in order to
be used with the DSS receiver’s remote.
To program the DSS receiver’s remote:
You can also find these code numbers
using the on-screen displays. See
“Displaying the Programmable Codes” on
page 74.
1 Turn to “Programmable Codes” on page 86, and find the three-
digit code number for your component. If more than one code
number is listed, use the number listed first to complete the
following procedures.
You must perform step 3 within 10
seconds of step 2, or you must start again
from step 2.
2 Press the CODE SET button.
3 Press the FUNCTION button (CABLE or TV) for the component
you’re setting up. SAT-A2 Only: To set up a VCR or laserdisc player,
set the slide switch to any position (VTR1/2/3/MDP).
You must perform step 4 within 10
seconds of step 3, or you must start again
from step 2. To cancel the operation, press
the ENTER button.
4 Enter the three-digit code number.
5 Press the ENTER button.
To Check if the Code Number Works
Use the following procedure to make sure the code you’ve entered
works:
1 Aim the DSS receiver’s remote control at the component and press
the POWER button that corresponds to that component.
2 For TVs and cable boxes: If the component responds, try the CH+
and CH- buttons. If the component responds, you’re done.
3 If the code doesn’t work for your component:
Try programming the remote using the other codes listed for
your component.
If you cannot get your component to respond to the DSS
receiver’s remote — even after trying all the code numbers for
your component — your component may not be compatible
with the DSS receiver’s remote. If this happens, you must use
your component’s own remote to operate it. SAT-A2 Only: Try
using the Learn feature to program specific buttons. See
“Using the Learn Function (SAT-A2 Only)” on page 87.
