 When DMPORT input is selected and you have 
assigned VIDEO 1 input to DMPORT input, no 
video signals are output from the VIDEO 1 VIDEO 
OUT jack.
Programming the remote
You can program the remote to control non-
Sony components by changing the code. Once 
the control signals have been memorized, you 
can use those components as part of your 
system.
Furthermore, you can also program the remote 
for Sony components that the remote is unable 
to control. Note that the remote can only 
control components that accept infrared 
wireless control signals.
1Press RM SET UP.
The RM SET UP indicator slowly flashes.
2Press the input button for the 
component you want to control.
For example, if you are going to control a 
CD player, press SA-CD/CD.
The RM SET UP indicator lights up.
3Press the numeric buttons to 
enter the numeric code (or one 
of the codes if more than one 
code exists) corresponding to 
the component and the maker 
of the component you want to 
control (except TV).
See the tables on page 68–71 for 
information on the numeric code(s) 
corresponding to the component and the 
maker of the component (the first digit 
and the last two digits of the numeric code 
correspond to the category and the 
maker’s code respectively).

Using the Remote
4Press ENTER.
Once the numeric code has been verified, 
the RM SET UP indicator slowly flashes 
twice and the remote automatically exits 
the programming mode.
5Repeat steps 1 to 4 to control 
other components.
Notes
 The indicator turns off while a valid button is 
pressed.
 In step 2, if several input buttons are pressed, only 
the last pressed button is valid.
 In step 2, if you press TUNER, you can only 
program the button to control a tuner (page 71).
 In step 3, if an input button is pressed, the new 
input is selected and the programming procedure 
returns to the beginning of step 3.
 For the numeric codes, only the last three numbers 
entered are valid.
To program the remote to 
control a TV
1Press RM SET UP.
The RM SET UP indicator slowly flashes.
2Press TV.
3Press the numeric buttons to enter the 
numeric code (or one of the codes if more 
than one code exists) for TV. For details, see 
page 69.
4Press ENTER.
Once the numeric code has been verified, 
the RM SET UP indicator slowly flashes 
twice and the remote automatically exits the 
programming mode.
To cancel programming
Press RM SET UP during any step. The RM 
SET UP indicator flashes 5 times in quick 
succession. The remote automatically exits the 
programming mode.
To activate the input after 
programming
Press the programmed button to activate the 
input you want.
If programming is 
unsuccessful, check the 
following:
 If the indicator does not light up in step 1, the 
batteries are weak. Replace both batteries.
 If the indicator flashes 5 times in quick 
succession while entering the numeric code, 
an error has occurred. Start again from step 
1.
To clear the memory of the 
remote
To clear all programmes, do the following to 
reset the remote to factory settings.
While holding down MASTER 
VOL –, press and hold ?/1 and then 
press AV ?/1.
The indicator flashes 3 times, then goes off.
The numeric codes 
corresponding to the 
component and the maker of 
the component
Use the numeric codes in the tables below to 
control non-Sony components and also Sony 
components that the remote is normally unable 
to control. Since the remote signal that a 
component accepts differs depending on the 
model and year of the component, more than 
one numeric code may be assigned to a 
component. If you fail to program your remote 
using one of the codes, try using other codes.
Notes
 The numeric codes are based on the latest 
information available for each brand. There is a 
chance, however, that your component will not 
respond to some or all of the codes.
 All of the input buttons on this remote may not be 
available when used with your particular 
component.
