Features

The RM-VL600 Remote Commander provides centralized control of all

your AV components from a single remote commander and saves thetrouble of operating different AV components with different remotecontrol devices. The following are its main features.

Centralized control of Sony AV components with this one remotecommander

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

Sony AV components.

Remote control signals for non-Sony components are also preset

This Commander is preset for most major brands components as well asSony. You can remote control your non-Sony components by setting thetype and code number of each component (page 10).

Learning function for programming various other remote control

signalsThis Commander has a Learning function, to learn the remote controlsignals needed to operate other non-preset components or functions. (Toteach such signals to this Commander, use the remote control suppliedwith the non-preset components.) (page 16)In addition, the Commander can learn remote control signals (infraredsignals only) of non-Audio Visual components such as air-conditioners,lights, etc. (Some specific appliances or functions may not be available.)

(page 24)

Reassigning new components

You can assign Component Select buttons to freely operate othercomponents. This is useful when you have more than two of the samekind of AV component (only if a Component Select button is free.) (page33)You can only assign TVs to the TV Component Select button.You can only assign an amplifier or DVD/Receiver combo to the AMPComponent Select button.

Use fresh batteries in bothremote units.

Avoid Learning in places subjectto direct sunlight or a strongfluorescent light. (Noise may

interfere during the Learningprocedure.)

The remote control detector areamay differ depending on eachremote unit. If Learning does notwork, try changing the positionsof the two remote control units.

When you teach signals of aninteractive signal exchangesystem remote control unit(supplied with some of Sonysamplifiers) to the Commander,the response signal of the mainunit may interfere with thelearning of the Commander. In

such a case, move to a placewhere the signals will not reachthe main unit (e.g. other rooms,etc.).

IMPORTANTBe sure to place the

Commander out of the reach ofsmall children or pets, and lockthe controls using the Holdfunction (page 34).Components such as airconditioners, heaters, electricappliances, and electric

Troubleshooting

If you have problems setting up or using the Remote Commander, first

check the batteries (page 8), then check the items below.Remedy

Move closer to the component. The maximum operatingdistance is approximately 32.8 ft. (10 m).

Check that you are aiming the Commander directly at thecomponent, and that there are no obstructions between theCommander and the component.

Power on the components first, if necessary. Make sure you have pressed the correct Component Select

button. In case of CBL or DVD, make sure the desiredcomponent is selected. Check that the component has infrared remote capability. For

example, if your component didnt come with a remotecommander, it probably isnt capable of being controlled by aremote commander.

You have assigned a different component to the ComponentSelect button. Check the component assigned to that buttonand the component code.

If your visual components are connected to an audio system,

make sure you have set up the Commander as described inControlling the Volume of Visual Components Connected toan Audio System (page 25).

You have assigned another component on the TV or AMPbutton (page 33). In this case, the volume cannot be controlledwhen you select components other than a TV or AMP.

Batteries are weakened.Replace them with new ones.

Set the component code correctly. If the code that is listed firstfor your component does not work, try all the codes for yourcomponent in the order in which they are listed in thesupplied Component Code Numbers.

Some features may not be preset. If some or all of the buttonsdo not function correctly even after you have set thecomponent codes, then use the Learning function to programthe remote control signals for the component (page 16).

The component may be operated with a code number that is

not listed in the Component code numbers. See Setting aComponent Code by the Search Function (page 13) and trysetting a code number again with the Search function.

When you teach signals of an interactive signal exchangesystem remote control unit (supplied with some of Sonysamplifiers) to the Commander, the response signal of themain unit may interfere with the learning of the Commander.In such a case, move to a place where the signals will notreach the main unit (e.g., another room, etc.).

Make sure that the Remote Commander has learned thecorrect signals. If not, see For accurate Learning (page 19)and try the Learning procedure again (page 16).

Symptom

You cannot operatecomponents.

You cannot control the

volume.

The Component Selectbuttons flash by aconstant interval whenyou press a button.

You cannot operate acomponent even aftersetting the componentcode numbers.

The Commander fails tolearn the remote controlsignals.

You cannot operate acomponent even afteryou programmed theremote control signalswith the Learningfunction.

Continued


38/52

38

Symptom

The SET indicator flashesfive times during theLearning procedure.

A Component Selectbutton flashes five timesduring setting.

The SET indicator flashestwice during theLearning procedure.

All Component Selectbuttons flash twice.

After programming thePower-On command of acomponent, pressing thatComponent Select buttondoes not functioncorrectly.

The System Controlfunction or ControlProgram function doesnot work properly.

Remedy

Learning has not succeeded. See For accurate Learning(page 19) and try the Learning procedure again (page 16).

There are no available buttons for learning. Clear

infrequently used Learned functions (page 22), then carry outlearning procedure.

The component codes cannot be set. See the suppliedComponent Code Numbers and try setting the componentcodes again (page 10).

A selected Component Select button or another button to beset has any remote control signals programmed by Learningfunction (page 16). Clear the learned signals (page 22) orselect another button which has no learned signals, and try

setting again. The Hold function is on. Unlock the Hold function (page 34).

A Learning function has already been set on the ComponentSelect button. If a Learning function has been set (page 16),you can program the Power-On function on the ComponentSelect button (page 27) but the Power-On setting will notwork until you clear the learned function. Erase thelearned function after the setting the Power-On function.This function is for Sony components only.

When you program a System Control function or ControlProgram function, make sure to follow the correct steps(pages 29, 32).

Change the direction the Remote Commander is aimed. If theproblem persists, position the programmed componentscloser together.

If the remote control receivers of the components are too farapart, or if something is blocking the signals between them,some of the components may not operate in sequence even

after you press the programmed button. If some of thecomponents do not operate correctly because of the above orany other reason, position the components back to the waythey were before you set the System Control function orControl Program function. Failure to do this can result inincorrect operation when you use these functions again.

Some components may not always be powered on by theSystem Control function or Control Program function. This is

because the power of the component turns on and offalternately when receiving the power on/off signal. In this

case, check the operating components power on/off statebefore using the System Control function.

If you change the AV brands component code number (page10) set on a Component Select button that has beenprogrammed for a series of commands by the ControlProgram function, the new signal will be transmitted whenyou press the corresponding Component Select button.

The intervals between steps may be too short. Depending onthe components, you may need to insert an interval betweenconsecutive controls. You can insert an interval by changing

the order of pressing the buttons. (You can insert an intervalbetween steps when programming the Component Selectbutton.)

If a SYSTEM CONTROL button or a Component Select buttonhas already learned a remote control signal (page 16), youcan program a System Control function (System ControlMacro) or a Control Program function (Component Macro),

but the function will not work until you clear the Learnedfunction. To clear the Learned function, see Changing orerasing the function of a learned button on page 22.

For the customers in the U.S.A

Customer Support InformationAfter you have read through this manual, if you still cannot get the RemoteCommander to work properly, call the Sony Customer Support Helplineat 1-800-822-2217.
