Sony RM-VL700S Manual

The RM-VL700 Remote Commander provides centralized control of all
your AV components from a single remote commander and saves the
trouble of operating different AV components with different remote
control devices. The following are its main features.

This Commander is preset at the factory to operate Sony brand
components, so you can use it out of the box as a control center for your
Sony AV components.

This Commander is preset for most major brands components including
Sony.  You can remote control your components by setting the type and
code number of each component (page 8).

This Commander has a Learning function, to “learn” the remote control
signals needed to operate other non-preset components or functions. (To
“teach” such signals to this Commander, use the remote control supplied
with the non-preset components.) (See page 15.)
In addition, the Commander can “learn” remote control signals (infrared
signals only) of non-Audio Visual components such as air-conditioners,
lights, etc. (Some specific appliances or functions may not be available.)
(page 23.)

You can assign Component Select buttons to freely operate other
components. This is useful when you have more than two of the same
kind of AV component (only if a Component Select buttons is free). (See
page 27.)
