This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits  
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.  
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against  
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment  
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not  
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause  
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is  
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular  
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to  
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning  
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the  
interference by one or more of the following measures:

• First, try repeating these setup procedures using the other codes  
listed for your component (see the supplied “Component Code  
Numbers”).  
• If – after trying all the codes listed for your component – you still  
cannot get the Commander to work properly, try the search  
method described in “Searching for the Correct Code.”  
Be sure to wait for about three seconds in step 2 above. While you  
are holding down the macro key and waiting, the programmed

at your component, the programmed operations may be performed  
before you go on with the procedure.  
Controlling the Volume of Video

does not have a MUTING function, the MUTING button on this  
Commander will not function with your TV.  
• Some functions of the component may not work with this  
Commander.  
• If your cable box can control volume, be sure to set its volume  
switch to a medium position. If the volume on the cable box is  
turned down completely, you will not be able to adjust your TVs

Thus you can control the volume of your TV or receiver (or  
amplifier) while operating a video or audio component without first  
having to press the TV or RCVR button. For example, to control the  
volume for your VCR channels, you dont need to press the TV  
button first.  
However, if your video components are connected to an audio  
system, you probably hear your TVs or VCR’s sound from the  
loudspeakers connected to your receiver (or amplifier), not from  
your TV speakers. In this case, you need to change the factory setting  
so that you can control the volume of your video components  
without first having to switch to the receiver (or amplifier).

To set up the Commander to use with other (non-Sony)  
manufacturers’ components, or to use with a component that is not
