FeaturesThe RM-AV2100 Remote Commander provides centralized control of all your AVcomponents from a single remote commander and saves the trouble of operatingdifferent AV components with different remote control devices. The following are itsmain features.

Centralized control of Sony AV components with this one remote commanderThis Commander is preset at the factory to operate Sony brand components, so you canuse it out of the box as a control center for your Sony AV components.

Remote control signals for non-Sony components are also presetThis Commander is preset for most major brands components including Sony. You canremote control your components by setting their code numbers (page 8).

Learning function for programming other remote control signals you needThis Commander has a learning function, to learn remote control signals to operatenon-preset components or functions (page 16).In addition, the Commander can learn remote control signals (infrared signals only) ofnon-Audio Visual components such as air-conditioners, lights, etc. (some specificappliances or functions may not be available) (page 38).

Reassigning new componentsYou can assign other Component Select Buttons to freely operate other components.This is useful when you have more than two of the same kind of AV components (page35).

System Control function allows one-touch operation to execute a series ofcommandsYou can program up to 16 consecutive operation steps to execute a series of operationsby pressing a single button (page 23).

Data can be transferred among remote commanders with the markYou can transfer the data such as learned signals and component code settings betweenthis Commander and another Sony remote commander with the mark. It will saveyou the trouble of performing the same operations again for setting (page 41).

Channel macro function allows you to select a channel with a single keyUp to 4 key steps can be programmed on macro keys. If you set the key operations forentering a channel number on a macro key, you can select the channel by pressing thatmacro key (page 45).

Easy-to-operate touch key LCD with blue back lightThis Commander has a touch key LCD that changes the key display according to theselected component.

Notes• If you do not perform learning steps within

two minutes, learning mode ends.• If you do not perform Step 4 within 10

seconds after Step 3, the display turns back tothe display in Step 2. (All the learnable keysflash.) In this case, perform Step 3 againwhile the display is flashing,

• If “NG” appears while learning, the memoryis full. To free memory, clear learnedfunctions from keys that you do not use often(page 20). Then continue the learning steps.

• If you touch a key by mistake in step 4, whilepressing the RESET key, press the mistakenkey. Then repeat from Step 3 to continuelearning.

If the Commander does not seem tobe workingIf the learned key or button does not operateproperly, teach once again. (For example, if thevolume becomes very loud after pressing theVOLUME+ button only once, noise may haveinterfered during the learning procedure.)

If you set a component code afterlearning a signalIf you have programmed any signal for a keyor button using the learning function, thatsignal will remain assigned to that key orbutton even after you set a component code.

When you teach the signals for adouble cassette deckPress DECK B/A to select deck A or B.

When you teach the REC (record)signalIf you have to press two buttons at thesame time (for example, z and B) to startrecording on your cassette deck or VCR,teach the REC signal in one of thefollowing ways.

To operate with two keys on theCommanderIn Step 3 (page 17), while pressing the REC key,press the B key to display both keys. Thenpress the two buttons on your component’sremote control in Step 4.

To operate with one key on theCommanderIn Step 3 (page 17), press only the REC key.Then press the two buttons on yourcomponent’s remote control in Step 4.

When you teach signals to theVOLUME or MUTING buttons•If you have programmed any signal on

the VOLUME or MUTING button forcomponents other than TV and AMPusing the learning function, that signalwill be transmitted only when youselect that component.

•If you have programmed any signal onthe VOLUME or MUTING button forTV or AMP using the learning function,that signal will be transmitted onlywhen you select TV or AMP. When youselect other components, the presetvolume control signals for TV or AMPwill be transmitted (for the differencebetween visual components and audiocomponents, see page 22). To use thelearned signal, you need to program theVOLUME or MUTING button for eachcomponent using the learning function.

Advanced Features

Controlling the Volumeof Visual ComponentsConnected to an AudioSystemThe Commander is factory preset basedon the assumption that you hear thesound of your visual components fromyour TV speakers, and that you hearsound of your audio components fromthe loudspeakers connected to youramplifier.

This feature enables you to control thevolume of your TV or amplifier withouthaving to select TV or AMP each timeyou want to control the volume.For example, to control the volume whileusing a VCR, you don’t need to press theTV button to control the TV volume.

The following table shows the factorysetting of which volume would becontrolled for each component.

23

1 While pressing COMMANDEROFF, press VOLUME + andVOLUME –.

The volume control setting of visualcomponents (TV, VCR1,2 and 3, CBL/SAT, and DVD) changes to thedisplayed component.

Notes• If you have already programmed the

VOLUME or MUTING button of eachcomponent any signals by “learning”, theprocedure above will not change the functionof the VOLUME and MUTING buttons.

• If you have programmed volume controlsignals on VOLUME or MUTING buttons ofTV or AMP, you can only use that signalwhen you select TV or AMP. For othercomponent, the preset volume control signalsfor TV or AMP (depending on the abovesetting procedure) will be transmitted. To usethe new signals, you need to program eachbutton for each component by the learningprocedure (page 16).

for over two minutes, the setting mode endsand the series of commands will beprogrammed to that point. In this case, clearthe program (page 26) and start again fromStep 1 to set the entire program from thebeginning. You cannot continue from whereyou let off.

• If a SYSTEM CONTROL button has already“learned” a remote control signal (see page38), “NG”flashes and you cannot program onthis button. Clear the learned contents first(see page 40).

•If you change the component code number(page 8) or program a new signal by learning(page 16) on a key or button that has beenprogrammed in the series of commands ofthe System Control function, the new signalwill be transmitted when you press thecorresponding SYSTEM CONTROL button.

• During Setting mode, the RESET key is notdisplayed and you cannot clear any operationstep you have programmed. If you haveprogrammed an incorrect operation bymistake, start again from Step 1.

Tips for programming theSystem Control functionsThe following information helps you toprogram a consecutive operation steps.

About the interval betweenoperation stepsYou can change the interval between operationsteps (see page 30).

2 While pressing the RESET key,press the same SYSTEMCONTROL button (1, 2, or 3)again.

When the contents of its program arecleared, all the component namesflash.

When you want to set a new programto this SYSTEM CONTROL button,follow Steps 2 to 5 on pages 24 and 25.

To set the SYSTEM CONTROL 1 or3 button back to the factorysettingAt the factory, the SYSTEM CONTROL 1button is preset with a series of power-offcommands for Sony components and theSYSTEM CONTROL 3 button with aseries of power-on commands for Sonycomponents. To reset them to the factorysettings, follow the steps below.

About the order of operation steps• Some of the components may not accept

consecutive remote control signals. Forexample, a TV generally does not react tonext signal right after the Power-on signal.So, a series of commands such as TV Power-on and input select may not work properly.In this case, insert other signals like theexample below;

TV Power-on t VCR Power-ont VCR play back t TV input select

• After the series of input commands isexecuted, the Commander displays thetouch-keys of the component of the final step.By programming an often-used component’scommand as the final step, you can save thestep of pressing a Component Select buttonwhen you start operating that component. (Inthe example on page 24, the touch-keys ofVCR1 are displayed.)

To clear programmed commands

1 While pressing COMMANDEROFF, press one of the SYSTEMCONTROL 1, 2, or 3 button.

The key operations programmed forthat button are displayed in order.

2 While pressing the RESET key,press the SYSTEM CONTROLbutton (1 or 3).

When the contents of its program arecleared, all the components namesflash.

3 While pressing the RESET key,press the SYSTEM CONTROLbutton (1 or 3) again.

When it is reset to the factory setting,the programmed operations aredisplayed in order.

NoteThe interval setting (page 30) is not reset to thefactory setting, even if you perform these steps.

Notes on System ControlOperations• If the remote control detectors of the

components are too far apart, or ifsomething is blocking them, some ofthe components may not operateconsecutively even after you press theSYSTEM CONTROL button.

• If some of the components did notoperate correctly because of the aboveor for any other reason, always set allthe components back to the states theywere in before you pressed the SYSTEMCONTROL button. Failure to do thiscan result in incorrect operation whenyou press the SYSTEM CONTROLbutton again.

• Some components may not always bepowered on by the System Controlfunction. This is because the power ofthe component gets on and offalternatively when receiving the poweron/off signal. In this case, check theoperating component’s power on/offstate before using the system controlfunction.

• If the system control function does notwork correctly, see also “Tips forprogramming the System Controlfunctions” on page 25.

Adding a command that isrequired when selecting acomponentIn addition to the original function ofselecting the operating keys and buttonsof the desired component, theComponent Select button can haveanother remote control signal by“learning.”For example, if you always have tochange input select of the amplifier to CDwhen listening to the CD player, programthe signal of “changing the amplifier’sinput select” to the CD button of thisCommander. Then whenever you pressthe CD button, it automatically works asthe original CD Component Select buttonand changes also the amplifier inputselect to CD. (In this case, the amplifiershould be turned on first.)

NoteSome specific remote control signals may notbe learned.

Notes• If the component code of a non-Sony product

has been set for a Component Select button,you cannot program the Power-On functionfor it.

• Even if you have programmed a signal by“learning” (See “Adding a command that isrequired when selecting a component.”) or aSystem Control function (page 28) for aComponent Select button, you can programthe Power-On function for that button, but itcannot be used. If you clear a “learned”signal or the System Control function fromthe button, you can use the Power-Onfunction.

• You can program a signal by “learning” (page32) or a System Control function (page 28) fora Component Select button for which thePower-On function has been programmed. Inthis case, the Power-On function isoverwritten and cannot be used. If you clearthe “learned” signal or the System Controlfunction from the button, the Power-Onfunction is resumed, and you can use it again.If you have programmed both a signal by“learning” and a System Control function forthe button, the “learned” signal will haveoverwritten the System Control function.

TroubleshootingIf you have problems setting up or using the Remote Commander, first check thebatteries (page 6), then check the items below.

Remedy

• Go closer to the component. The maximum operating distance isapproximately 32.8 ft. (10 m).

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

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

case of CBL/SAT, DVD or DECK B/A, make sure the desiredcomponent is displayed.

• Check that the component has infrared remote capability. For example,if your component didn’t come with a remote commander, it probablyisn’t capable of being controlled by a remote commander.

• You have assigned a different component to the Component Selectbutton. Check the component assigned to that button and thecomponent code.

• If your visual components are connected to an audio system, make sureyou’ve set up the Commander as described in “Controlling the Volumeof Visual Components Connected to an Audio System” (page 22).

• You have assigned another component to the TV or AMP button (page35). In this case, the volume cannot be controlled when you select acomponent other than TV or AMP.

• Set the component code correctly. If the code that is listed first for yourcomponent doesn’t work, try all the codes for your component in theorder in which they are listed in the supplied “Component CodeNumbers”.

• Some features may not be preset. If some or all of the keys do notfunction correctly even after you have set the component codes, thenuse the learning function to program the remote control signals for thecomponent (page 16).

• The component may be operated with a code number that is not listedin the “Component Code Numbers”. See “Finding a component codewith the Search function” (page 11) and try setting a code numberagain.

• Make sure that the Remote Commander has learned the correct signals.If not, see “For accurate learning” (page 20) and try the learningprocedure again (page 16).

Symptom

You cannot operate thecomponents.

You cannot control thevolume.

You cannot operate thecomponents even aftersetting the componentcode numbers.

You cannot operate acomponent even afteryou programmed theremote control signalswith the “learning”function.

Symptom

You hear beeps (“pip,pip, pip, pip, pip”) and“NG” flashes.

You hear beeps (“pip,pip”) and “NG” flashes.

“NG” appears duringlearning.

A system controlprogram does notfunction correctly.

Remedy

• Learning has not succeeded. See “For accurate learning” (page 20) andtry the learning procedure again (page 16).

• The component codes cannot be set. See the supplied “ComponentCode Numbers” and try setting the component codes again (page 8).

• The data have not been transferred. See “Transferring data” (page 41)and try transferring the data again.

• The data have not been received. See “Receiving the data” (page 43) andtry receiving the data again.

• The Preset Lock function is on. Unlock the Preset Lock function (page48), and try the component code setting or the learning function.

• Signals have been programmed for that Component Select or SYSTEMCONTROL button using the learning function. Clear the learned signals(page 34, 40) and try programming the System Control function again.

• Signal has been programmed for that key using the learning function.Clear the signal(s) (pages 20 and 21) and try programming the functionor the display for the same key again, or try with another ComponentSelect button.

• Signals have been programmed for that macro key using the learningfunction. Clear the learned signals (page 20) and try programming theChannel Macro function for the same key again, or try with anothermacro key.

• There are some keys, on which signals have been programmed, on thedisplay for the Component Select button of the Commander when thecommander receives the data from another Commander. Clear thesignals (pages 20, 21 and “Notes” on page 44) and try receiving the dataagain.

• Clear infrequently used learned keys (page 20), then carry out learningoperations.

• Make sure that you have programmed the commands in the correctorder (page 23).

• Try changing the orientation of the Commander. If that does not help,try placing the components as close to each other as possible.

• Check the status of the components and make sure that you have set thecomponents properly to receive commands (page 27).

• The component codes are changed or a new signals have been learnedfor a key or button that has been programmed with a series ofcommands. In this case, the new signals are transmitted when the seriesof commands is executed.

• The interval may be too short. See “Changing the interval betweenoperation steps” (page 30) and set a longer interval.

Troubleshooting (continued)

57

Symptom

The power of theCommander turns off byitself.

The power of theCommander does notturn on when you press abutton.

Your Commander doesnot work as expectedafter data transfer.

Remedy

• This Commander is preset at the factory to switch the power offautomatically after 10 minutes if left unused. (Auto Power-Off, page 49)You can change the power-off time from 10 to 90 minutes, or set theCommander not to power off automatically.

• The Hold function is on (“OFF” appears on the display). Unlock theHold function (page 47).

Data transfer to/from a single button cannot transfer System Controlfunctions that are learned by Component Select buttons. Either set up thelearned Commander from the start, or perform whole data transfer.

Note on the Commanders with the markData transfer between Commanders with the mark may not always be complete, depending ontheir functions and keys, and some of the System Control function data may be dropped.

For the customers in the U.S.A.
