Features
The RM-VL610T Remote Commander provides
centralised 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.
Centralised control of Sony AV components
with this one remote commander
This Commander is preset at the factory to operate Sony
brand components, so you can use it out of the box as a
control centre 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 as Sony. You can remote
control your non-Sony components by setting the
type and code number of each component (page 8).
Learning function for programming various
other remote control signals
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.) (page 12)
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 18)
Reassigning new components
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 button is
free.) (page 24)
You can only assign TVs to the TV Component
Select button.
You can only assign an amplifier to the AMP
Component Select button.

during the Learning procedure.)
If you set a component code after “learning” a
signal
If you have programmed any signal on a button by the
Learning function, that signal will work even after you set
a component code.
Note on the REC z signal
You can only “teach” to one button at a time. Therefore you
cannot teach a sequential button operation (for example
REC z + G) to a single button on the Commander. In this
case, “teach” the combined function of the buttons on your
component to the Commander.
When you “teach” signals to 2 +/– or %
•If you used the Learning function to programme
the 2 +/– or % buttons to send any signal to
components other than the TV or AMP, that signal
will be transmitted only by pressing 2 +/– or %
when you select that component.
•If you used the Learning function to programme
the 2 +/– or % buttons to send any signal to the
TV or AMP, that signal will be transmitted only
after you select TV or AMP. When you select other
components, the “learned” signal will be
transmitted.
14
To “teach” the signals for an
air-conditioner
See “Notes on programming the signals for an airconditioner” on page 18.
For accurate Learning
• Do not move the remote units during the
Learning procedure.
• Be sure to keep holding down the “learning”
button until your Commander reacts as described.
• Use fresh batteries in both remote units.
• Avoid Learning in places subject to direct sunlight
or a strong fluorescent light. (Noise may interfere
during the Learning procedure.)
• The remote control detector area may differ
depending on each remote unit. If Learning does
not work, try changing the positions of the two
remote control units.
• When you teach signals of an interactive signal
exchange system remote control unit (supplied
with some of Sony’s amplifiers) to the
Commander, the response signal of the main unit
may interfere with the learning of the
Commander. In such a case, move to a place
where the signals will not reach the main unit (e.g.
other rooms, etc.).
IMPORTANT
Be sure to place the Commander out of the reach
of small children or pets, and lock the controls
using the Hold function (page 25).
Components such as air - conditioners, heaters,
electric appliances, and electric shutters or
curtains receiving an infrared signal can be
dangerous if misused.
Programming remote control signals to
the Component Select buttons and
System Control buttons
You can “teach” one operating procedure to a
Component Select button and System Control
buttons, so that when you press the Component
Select button and System Control buttons, the
operation is also automatically done.
For example, if it is necessary to switch the input
selection of an amplifier to DVD when you use a
DVD player, “teach” an input select signal to the
DVD button. After “learning,” the input selection of
an amplifier is automatically switched to DVD just
by pressing DVD. (For this operation, the amplifier
should first be turned on.)
Example: To “teach” the DVD input remote
control signal of your amplifier to the DVD

CONTROL button does not light up.
If another signal has already been
“learned” by that button
The SET indicator flashes twice, and the Commander
takes no action, returning to its state after SET was
pressed and held in Step 2. Either “teach” to another
free button, or clear the already “learned” function
(page 16) and start over from the beginning.
3 Press and hold the button on the other
remote control, until the SET indicator
lights and all the Component Select
buttons flash again.
During data transfer, only the SET indicator
stays lit, and the Component Select button turns
off.
If the SET indicator flashes five times
It means that “learning” is incomplete. Repeat Steps 2
and 3.
4 Repeat Steps 2 and 3 to “teach” remote
control signals to other buttons.
To teach signals to the SYSTEM CONTROL
buttons, press and hold the desired SYSTEM
CONTROL button for over 3 seconds.

Notes on programming the signals for an
air-conditioner
About seasonal adjustments
If you change the settings of the air-conditioner for
the season, you have to programme the remote
control signals of the new settings on the
Commander.
If the power-on/off operation does not work
correctly
If the Commander can only operate “ON” with one
button and “OFF” with another, while your airconditioner’s remote control can operate “ON/
OFF” with a single button, programme the signal
on two buttons of the Commander as follows.
1 Clear the “learned” power-on/off signal on the
programmed button of the Commander.
2 Reprogramme only the power-on signal of the
air-conditioner on the button of the Commander
by following the steps of “Programming Signals
of Another Remote Control- Learning Function”
(page 12).
3 Programme the power-off signal of the airconditioner on another button of the
Commander.
The two buttons of the Commander have been
programmed with the power-on signal and the
power-off signal of the air-conditioner respectively,
so that you can operate the air-conditioner with the
Commander.

Components Connected to an
Audio System
To change the Factory Preset of the Volume
Control
The Commander is factory preset based on the
assumption that you hear the sound of your visual
components from your TV speakers, and that you
hear sound of your audio components from the
loudspeakers connected to your amplifier.
For example, to control the volume while using a
VCR, you do not need to press the TV button to
control the TV volume.
The following table shows the factory setting of
which volume would be controlled for each
component.

However, if your visual components are connected
to an audio system, you may want to hear TV or
VCR sound from the loudspeakers via your
amplifier, not from your TV speakers. In this case,
you need to change the factory preset so that you
can control the volume of your visual components
without first having to switch to the amplifier.

Adding an Extra Function to the
Component Select Buttons
Programming the Power-On command of
the selected component just by pressing
that Component Select button (for Sony
components only)
When a code number of a Sony component is set to
a Component Select button, the Power-On signal is
automatically programmed to the button. You can
select the desired component and power it on by
just pressing that Component Select button.
Visual components are:
TV, video cassette recorder, analogue cable
box, satellite tuner, DVD player
Audio components are:
CD player, MD player, cassette deck, amplifier
To cancel setting, press SET.
Note
If you used the Learning function to programme the 2 +/
– or % buttons to send a signal to a component, the
procedure above will not change the function of the 2 +/–
and % buttons.
Example: To clear the Power-on command
1 Press and while holding SET, press MENU.
The SET indicator lights up.
2 While holding 1 pressed, press the desired
Component Select button.
While the 1 button is pressed, the Component
Select buttons that Sony components are set to
flash in the following order.
TVtDVDtSATtCBLtVCRtCDtTAPEtAMP
The Component Select buttons that Sony
components are not set to do not flash.
20
To cancel the setting, press SET.
To programme the Power-On command
Repeat the same procedure, pressing the desired
Component Select button.
Notes
• If the component code of a non-Sony brand has been set
on a Component Select button, you cannot programme
the Power-On function on it. If you change the
component code (page 8) after setting the Power-On
function, the Power-On function is cleared. (The
Component Select button flashes twice to indicate that
you cannot set this function.)
• Even if you used the Learning function (page 12) to
programme a signal on a Component Select button, you
can programme the Power-On function on that button
but it cannot be used. If you clear the “learned” function
on that button, you can use the Power-On function.
Executing a Series of Commands
— System Control Functions
With the System Control function, you can
programme a series of operating commands, and
execute them by pressing just one button. You can
programme up to 16 consecutive operation steps to
each of the SYSTEM CONTROL buttons (1 – 4).
If you have set the System Control function for a
Component Select button (page 23), the execution of
the programmed commands begins when you press
the Component Select button for more than 2 seconds.
When executing the programmed commands, each
remote commander signal is transmitted.
Example: To watch a video, you can set a series
of operations as follows:
Power on the TV.
r
Power on the video (VCR).
r
Power on the amplifier.
r
Set the input selector of the amplifier to VIDEO 1.
r
Set the input mode of the TV to VIDEO 1.
r
Start video playback.
Continued
21
Example: To programme the procedure above to
the SYSTEM CONTROL 2 button
To programme a new series of operations for
those buttons which already have a Control
Programme set
1 Press and while holding SET, press the
SYSTEM CONTROL 2 button.
Erase the programme (page 22).
The SET indicator light turns on.
Notes
If a System Control function (System Control
Macro) has already been set on the button,
the SET indicator flashes twice.
The setting procedure is automatically cancelled.
2 Set the System Control function.
With this example, press buttons in sequence as
below:
• If you interrupt the procedure at any point for over 20
seconds, the setting mode ends and the series of
commands will be programmed up to that point. In this
case, clear the programme (page 22) and start again from
Step 1 to set the entire programme from the beginning.
You cannot continue programming once the setting mode
ends.
• If a SYSTEM CONTROL button has already “learned” a
remote control signal (page 12), you can programme a
System Control function (System Control Macro), but the
function will not work until you clear the Learning
function. To clear the Learning function, see “Changing
or erasing the function of a “learned” button” on page
16.
• If you change the component code number (page 8) or
programme a new signal by using the Learning function
(page 12) on a key or a button that has been programmed
with a series of commands using the System Control
function, the new signal will be transmitted when you
press the corresponding SYSTEM CONTROL button.
• While in setting mode, you cannot clear any operation
step you have programmed. If you have programmed an
incorrect operation by mistake, start again from Step 1.
• If you try to programme more than 16 steps, the System
Control setting mode ends, and the 16 steps you have
programmed are registered. If you want to programme
the steps again, clear the programme (page 22) and start
again from Step 1.
Tips for programming the System Control
functions
The following information helps you to programme
a consecutive operation steps.
About the order of operation steps
You can programme up to 16 consecutive steps
on each of the SYSTEM CONTROL buttons (1 –
4), including the initial step of pressing switch to
a Component Select button.
3 Press SET to complete the programming.
The SYSTEM CONTROL button light turns off.
Some of the components may not accept
consecutive remote control signals. For example,
some TVs generally may not respond to the next
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 to other
components, such as in the example below:
TV Power-ontVCR Power-ont VCR playback t
TV input select
To clear programmed commands
1 Press and while holding SET, press and
hold for more than 3 seconds the SYSTEM
CONTROL button you want to clear.
22
Programming a Series of
Commands on the Component
Select Buttons
As with the SYSTEM CONTROL buttons, you can
also programme a series of operating commands for
the Component Select buttons (up to 16 steps).
To execute the commands programmed on a
Component Select button by the System Control
function, press the button for more than 2 seconds.
Example: To programme the procedure on page
21 for the VCR Component Select button
1 Press and while holding SET, press the
VCR Component Select button.
The SET indicator and the VCR Component
Select button lights turn on.
If a Control Programme function (Component
Macro) has already been set on the button, the
button flashes twice. The setting procedure is
automatically cancelled.
2 Set the Control Programme function.
With this example, press the buttons in sequence
as below:
Notes
• When you press the button for less than 2 seconds, it
works as a normal Component Select button, and the
programmed function does not work.
• See also “Tips for programming the System Control
functions” on page 22.
You can programme up to 16 consecutive steps
on each of the Component Select buttons,
including the first step of pressing to select a
Component Select button.
3 Press SET to complete the programming.
The VCR Component Select button light turns
off.
Continued
23
To clear programmed commands
1 Press and while holding SET, press and
hold for more than 3 seconds the
Component Select button you want to
clear.
Notes
• You can programme a Control Programme function
(Component Macro) for a Component Select button on
which the Power-On function (page 20) has been
programmed. In this case, the Power-On function is
executed when you press the Component Select button,
or when you select another component while the
consecutive Control Programme is being executed.
• If the procedure is interrupted at any point for over 20
seconds, the setting mode ends and the series of
commands will be programmed up to that point. In this
case, clear the programme (page 24) and start again from
Step 1 to set the entire programme from the beginning.
You cannot continue programming once the setting mode
ends.
• If a Component Select button has already “learned” a
remote control signal (page 12), you can programme a
Control Programme function (Component Macro), but
the function will not work until you clear the Leaning
function. To clear the Leaning function, see “Changing or
erasing the function of a “learned” button” on page 16.
• While you are setting a programme, you can insert a 0.4
second interval before the next step is executed by
pressing the same Component Select button again. For
the example above in the Step 2, you can insert a 0.4
second interval between the TV-on signal and the TV/
VIDEO switching signal at the exercising as the
programme is executed by pressing the buttons
TVt1tTV.
24
Assigning Other Components to
the Component Select Buttons
You can assign another component to any of the
Component Select buttons not being used.
Once if you set a Component Select button to a
different type of component, the entered
component‘s code number becomes effective.
Notes
• To use the original component setting, set the component
code number again (page 8).
• If you enter a new brand‘s component code number
without clearing the previous “learned” functions on that
Component Select button, the previously “learned”
functions remain effective. Erase the functions you do not
use frequently.
• You can only assign a TV to the TV Component Select
button.

Troubleshooting
If you have problems setting up or using the Remote Commander, first check the batteries (page 6), then
check the items below.
Symptom
You cannot operate components.
Remedy
• Move closer to the component. The maximum operating distance is
approximately 10 m. (32.8 ft).
• Check that you are aiming the Commander directly at the component,
and that there are no obstructions between the Commander and the
component.
• Power on the components first, if necessary.
• Make sure you have pressed the correct Component Select button. In
case of MD or DAT, make sure the desired component is selected.
• Check that the component has infrared remote capability. For example,
if your component did not come with a remote commander, it probably
is not capable of being controlled by a remote commander.
• You have assigned a different component to the Component Select
button. Check the component assigned to that button and the
component code.
You cannot control the volume.
• If your visual components are connected to an audio system, make sure
you have set up the Commander as described in “Controlling the
Volume of Visual Components Connected to an Audio System”
(page 19).
• You have assigned another component on the TV or AMP button
(page 24). In this case, the volume cannot be controlled when you select
components other than a TV or AMP.

component does not work, try all the codes for your component in the
order in which they are listed in the supplied “Component code
numbers.”
• Some features may not be preset. If some or all of the buttons do not
function correctly even after you have set the component codes, then
use the Learning function to programme the remote control signals for
the component (page 12).
• The component may be operated with a code number that is not listed
in the “Component code numbers.” See “Setting a Component Code by
the Search Function” (page 10) and try setting a code number again
with the Search function.
The Commander fails to learn the remote control signals. • When you teach signals of an interactive signal exchange system
remote control unit (supplied with some of Sony’s amplifiers) to the
Commander, the response signal of the main unit may interfere with
the learning of the Commander. In such a case, move to a place where
the signals will not reach the main unit (e.g., another room, etc.).
You cannot operate a component even after you

28
Symptom
All Component Select buttons flash twice.
After programming the Power-On command of a
component, pressing that Component Select button does
not function correctly.
The System Control function or Control Programme
function does not work properly.
Remedy
• The Hold function is on. Unlock the Hold function (page 25).
• A Learning function has already been set on the Component Select
button. If a Learning function has been set (page 12), you can
programme the Power-On function on the Component Select button
(page 20) but the Power-On setting will not work until you clear the
“learned” function. Erase the “learned” function after setting the
Power-On function.
This function is for Sony components only.
• When you programme a System Control function or Control
Programme function, make sure to follow the correct steps (pages 21,
23).
• Change the direction the Remote Commander is aimed. If the problem
persists, position the programmed components closer together.
• If the remote control receivers of the components are too far apart, 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 the components do not operate
correctly because of the above or any other reason, position the
components back to the way they were before you set the System
Control function or Control Programme function. Failure to do this can
result in incorrect operation when you use these functions again.
• Some components may not always be powered on by the System
Control function or Control Programme function. This is because the
power of the component turns on and off alternately when receiving
the power on/off signal. In this case, check the operating component‘s
power on/off state before using the System Control function.
• If you change the AV brands‘ component code number (page 8) set on a
Component Select button that has been programmed for a series of
commands by the Control Programme function, the new signal will be
transmitted when you press the corresponding Component Select
button.
• The intervals between steps may be too short. Depending on the
components, you may need to insert an interval between consecutive
controls. You can insert an interval by changing the order of pressing
the buttons. (You can insert an interval between steps when
programming the Component Select button.)
• If a SYSTEM CONTROL button or a Component Select button has
already “learned” a remote control signal (page 12), you can
programme a System Control function (System Control Macro) or a
Control Programme function (Component Macro), but the function will
not work until you clear the Learned function. To clear the Learned
function, see “Changing or erasing the function of a “learned” button”
on page 16.
