The following are its main features. Control up to 16 components With the Remote Commander, you can control up to 16 components, including your TV, VCR, DVD, DVR, CD, RCVR, etc. Centralized control of Sony AV components with this one Remote Commander The Remote 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. Remote control signals for non-Sony components are also preset The Remote Commander also recognizes the preset codes for most major brands components, as well as Sony. Just select the corresponding codes to control all your AV components. XPRESS functions for executing a series of actions to operate several AV components by pressing just one key. Groups of commands from different components can be set for up to 8 XPRESS functions. For example, when you watch a DVD using a TV and amplifier/receiver, you can press just one key to turn on/off each component, and select the correct inputs. Available keys for the XPRESS function appear on the LCD display. Also, the XPRESS function can memorize the status of power on/off, input select status of each component, and send a signal to synchronize them to the Remote Commander, regardless of their current. Air-Slide executes an XPRESS function by “sliding your finger” across the LCD display You can also perform an XPRESS function by sliding your finger in a set pattern across the Remote Commander's LCD Display. This function is called an “Air-Slide”, and 6 different patterns are available. The AX Remote Editor software allows you to make advanced settings for the Remote Commander.

What is the XPRESS function? Default XPRESS function list Displays on the Programmed commands Label keys TV Turns on TV, and the display of XPRESS_TV appears. A-CBL Turns on TV and Analog cable box, and the display of XPRESS_A-CBL appears. D-SAT Turns on TV and Digital Satellite, and the display of XPRESS_D-SAT appears. DVD Turns on TV and DVD player, and the display of XPRESS_DVD appears. VCR Turns on TV and Video Cassette recorder, and the display of XPRESS_VCR appears. DVR Turns on TV and Digital Video Recorder, and the display of XPRESS_DVR appears. CD Turns on CD player and Receiver (Amplifier), and the display of XPRESS_CD appears. RCVR Turns on Receiver (Amplifier), and the display of XPRESS_RCVR appears. Operating An “XPRESS function” is an executable series of actions that can operate several AV components by pressing just one key. For example, you have to perform the following operations sequentially to watch a DVD using a TV, receiver/ amplifier, and DVD player. 1. Turn on the DVD player. 2. Turn on the TV. 3. Set the appropriate input mode of the TV. 4. Turn on the receiver/amplifier. 5. Set the appropriate input selector of the receiver/amplifier. 6. Start DVD playback. By setting the above actions as an XPRESS function, you can watch a DVD by simply pressing one key. Also, the XPRESS function can memorize the status of power on/off, input selector for each component, and send a signal to synchronize the status which you want without reference to the component's status. Some XPRESS functions are preset at the factory to operate Sony brand components (see the table below). However, depending on the factory preset code, they may not necessarily be effective.

Design and specifications are subject to change without notice. Troubleshooting If you have problems setting up or using the Remote Commander, first check the batteries (page 10), then check the items below. Refer also to Help of “AX Remote Editor.” Trouble with the Remote Commander's basic settings Problem Solution The Remote Commander does not turn on. Check the remaining battery level. If low, replace with new ones. The LCD display turns off automatically. The Remote Commander is preset at the factory to turn the display off automatically if you do not operate for more than 5 minutes. You can reset the automatic-off time to 1-30 minutes (page 37). The beep does not sound. The beep is turned off. Turn the beep on (page 41). The Timer function has stopped working. Check the Timer setting (page 29). When the battery power is weak or empty, or if the battery is removed for a long time, the Timer setting may be cleared. The touch-keys do not work properly. Calibrate the alignment of the LCD display (page 39). The LCD display does not light up even though the Remote Commander is turned on. The contrast level is too low. Set the contrast of the LCD display higher. While pressing the COMMANDER OFF button, press the OK button. And then press the CHANNEL + button a few times to increase the contrast. XPRESS function does not perform On-Remote Setup. In case of On-Remote Setup, XPRESS function controls only the power on/off of the component. If you want to control the input selector of the TV, etc., follow the procedure for On-PC Setup. Trouble with operation mode Solution Even if you press the keys/ buttons on the Remote Commander, the component does not work properly. • Get closer to the component. The maximum operating distance is approximately 32.8 ft. (10 m). • Check that you are aiming the Remote Commander directly at the component, and that there are no obstructions between the Remote Commander and the component. • Turn on the components first, if necessary. • Check that the component has infrared remote capability. For example, if your component did not come with the Remote Commander, it probably is not capable of being controlled by a Remote Commander. Even though you hold down a key/button, it does not work as intended. • The volume buttons and cursor buttons, and some others, continue to work when they are pressed and held. If you program the signals of such buttons, RM-AX4000 Remote Commander may not learn the signals accurately. Reprogram the signals by continuing to hold down the desired button of the other remote control until “Learning is complete.” appears in the “AX4000 Remote Editor” screen. • The batteries of the other remote control are weak. Replace with new ones and reprogram the signals. The backlight setting is unintentionally changed. Unit Setting of the project set up on your PC is activated if you download data changed on your PC with the “Download the Unit Setting data together with the project data” box checked. Continued Additional Information Problem 71 Troubleshooting (continued) 72 Problem Solution “RECOVERY” appears on the screen and all the buttons are disabled. Error might has occurred in the firmware of the Remote Commander. Update the firmware using “AX Remote Editor.” The component does not work when checking the code setting on the Emulator. • Get closer to the component. The maximum operating distance is approximately 32.8 ft. (10 m). • Check that you are aiming the Remote Commander directly at the component, and that there are no obstructions between the Remote Commander and the component. • Turn on the components first, if necessary. • Check that the component has infrared remote capability. For example, if your component did not come with the Remote Commander, it probably is not capable of being controlled by a Remote Commander. The visual/audio component's volume cannot be controlled by the Remote Commander. The VOLUME button may be assigned to a different component than the one you want it to control. For On-PC Setup: Make sure to set “Action List” of the VOLUME button correctly after selecting the component to control the volume in Advanced mode. For On-Remote Setup: See “Controlling the volume of visual components connected to an audio component” on page 57. The VOLUME button of most components is already assigned to control the TV (or RCVR for audio components). Do not program any other function to the VOLUME button of the TV or RCVR. A System Control function does not work properly. • Make sure that you have programmed the commands in the correct order (page 51). • Try changing the orientation of the Remote 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 the components properly to receive commands. • The preset codes are changed or new signals have been learned for a key or button that has been programmed with a series of actions. In this case, the new signals are transmitted when the series of actions is executed. Even if you set the Timer macro, the component does not work properly. • The component could not receive the signal from the Remote Commander successfully. When using the Timer, check the following. – Check that the Timer macro functions correctly by pressing the TEST key, after setting the Timer macro (page 59). – Check the location of the Remote Commander. • The status of the component is not suitable for operation (for example, you programmed the power-on setting, assuming that power of the component is off when the Timer turns on. However, if the power of the component is on when the component receives the signal from the Remote Commander, the component will turn off). Even if you operate an XPRESS function, the TV does not turn on, or it turns off. • The Remote Commander memorizes the status of the component's input selector and power on/off. However, if you turn on/off the component with the remote control or operate the component directly, it will not recognize the current component status. In this case, press the SYNC-UP button to synchronize with the status of the current component and the Remote Commander. • If the TV turns off by its own Sleep function, the Remote Commander does not recognize its status. Turn off the TV with the Remote Commander. You can also turn off the TV at the scheduled time with the Timer on the Remote Commander. Problem Solution Even if you operate an XPRESS function, the Source component does not turn on, or it turns off. • The Remote Commander memorizes the status of the component's input selector and power on/off. However, if you turn on/off the component with the remote control or operate the component directly, it will not recognize the current component status. In this case, press SYNC-UP button to synchronize the status of the current component and the Remote Commander. • If the TV turns off by its own Sleep function, the Remote Commander does not recognize its status. Turn off the TV with the Remote Commander. You can also turn off the TV at the scheduled time with the Timer on the Remote Commander. Even if you operate an XPRESS function, the input selector of the TV or RCVR (Receiver/Amplifier) does not achieve the correct status. • The Remote Commander memorizes the status of the component's input selector and power on/off. However, if you turn on/off the component with the remote control or operate the component directly, it will not recognize the current component status. In this case, press the SYNC-UP button to synchronize the status of the current component and the Remote Commander. • If the TV turns off by its own Sleep function, the Remote Commander does not recognize its status. Turn off the TV with the Remote Commander. You can also turn off the TV at the scheduled time with the Timer on the Remote Commander. Air-Slide does not work properly. Make sure to slide your finger from the top-left on the LCD display. If you slide other than from the top-left, Air-Slide cannot recognize the action. Trouble with setting mode Solution You cannot operate the component even after you programmed a preset code. • Set the preset code correctly. If the preset code that is listed first for your component does not work, try all the preset codes for your component in the order listed in the supplied “Preset Code Lists.” • Some features may not be preset. If some or all of the keys do not function correctly even after you have set the preset codes, use the learning function to program the remote control signals for the component (page 47). • If you set a component code after changing the label of a component, they are cleared and return to the original label. Change the label of a component after you decide the component to be used by presetting a code. You cannot operate a component even after you programmed remote control signals with the “learning” function. Make sure that the Remote Commander has learned the correct signals. See “For accurate learning” (page 51) and try the learning procedure again (page 48). “NG” flashes 5 times when learning. • Leaning has not succeeded. After checking the following, try the learning procedure again (page 48). – Change the distance between the Remote Commander and remote control. – See “For accurate learning” (page 51). • The preset codes cannot be set. See the supplied “Preset Code Lists” and try setting the preset codes again (page 45). Continued Additional Information Problem 73 Troubleshooting (continued) 74 Problem Solution Learning fails. • When you make the Remote Commander learn the remote control signals, be sure to keep about 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) between the remote control of the components and the Remote Commander. • Check the remaining battery level of the remote control of the components. If low, replace with new ones. • Avoid learning in places under direct sunlight or strong fluorescent light. The Remote Commander may fail to learn remote control signals under strong light. • When you program signals of an interactive signal exchange system remote control unit (supplied with some of Sony’s receivers and amplifiers) to the Remote Commander, the response signal of the main unit may interfere with the learning of the Remote Commander. In such a case, move to a place where the signals will not reach the main unit (e.g. other rooms, etc.). • Perform the Learning procedure after turning off any nearby apparatus, such as an air-conditioner or infrared headphones. • The Remote Commander may fail to learn remote control signals near plasma TVs. Avoid learning near plasma TVs or turn off the plasma TV when learning “NG” flashes twice when learning. • Learned signals have been programmed for the button or key to which you want to set the learning, System Control function. Clear the learned signals (page 54) and try setting again. • Learn the signal within 10 sec after selecting a key/button you want to program. The Remote Commander does not memorize the radio band change (AM/ FM) or frequency. The Remote Commander cannot learn them. If you want to adjust the radio band or frequency, operate it manually. The setting display does not appear. The batteries are weak. Replace with new ones. The setting mode unintentionally quits while setting up. • If you do not operate for more than 120 seconds during setting mode, the Remote Commander automatically exits the setting mode and turns off. Perform the next operation step within 120 seconds. • The batteries are weak. Replace with new ones. “PRESET”, “LEARN”, “MACRO”, ”TIMER”, and ”LABEL” do not appear on the LCD display. These setting only appear with On-PC setup. To see these items, use the AX Remote Editor software. Others Problem Solution I want to restore all the settings. For On-PC Setup: In “AX Remote Editor,” click “Tools” on the menu bar, then select “Update Firmware for Remote” to update the firmware of the Remote Commander. If the firmware is updated, all the settings or learned data of the Remote Commander are deleted and the Remote Commander is set back to the factory setting. For On-Remote Setup: See “Erasing all the settings” (page 68). I want to use multiple components (VCR+DVD, TV+VCR, DVD+RCVR (receiver), etc.) with XPRESS function. When you have a multiple components (such as a DVD/VCR combo), select only one of either component type. For example, in the case of a DVD/VCR combo, select “DVD” or ”VCR”. If you select both components, the XPRESS function will not work properly. You want to set a DVD player for both XPRESS DVD and XPRESS CD. For On-PC Setup: You can set multiple XPRESS functions for one component. For example, when you watch a DVD, you can set the sound to output from the TV. Or, when you listen to a CD, you can set the sound to output from the RCVR (Receiver/Amplifier). For On-Remote Setup: You can set an XPRESS function for only one component. Choose either XPRESS_DVD or XPRESS_CD. If the batteries die, are the learned signals lost ? No. The signals are not deleted because they are stored in the nonvolatile memory. Your PC cannot recognize the USB connection. • Make sure to install the USB driver properly (page 17). Otherwise, you will have to reinstall the USB driver. • The batteries may be weak. Replace with new ones if the battery icon appears. • If the connection goes thorough the HUB, some PCs do not recognize it. In this case, connect it directly to the USB port of your PC. • The Remote Commander does not work by the bus power. If you use it in the USB mode, make sure to install new batteries. • Reconnect the USB mini cable to your PC. • Restart your PC. After you have read through this manual, if you still cannot get the Remote Commander to work properly, call the Sony Customer Support Helpline at 1-800-822-2217.
