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.

?/1
 while holding down RM

control.
For example, if you are going to control a 
CD player, press SA-CD/CD.

Press 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.
See the tables on pages 51–53 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.)

Press ENTER.
Once the numeric code has been verified,

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 4 times in quick 
succession while entering the numeric code, 
an error has occurred. Start again from step 1.
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 TV ?/1, only TV VOL +/– , 
TV CH +/–, TV/VIDEO and WIDE buttons are 
reprogrammed.
• 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.
