DVD player.

system, you must first save the data for the remote control on Memory Stick
Duo™ media and then complete [Remote
Control Settings] ( 1 page 20).
For more information on remote control data, see sony.com/locationfree/ownerslounge/psp
Depending on the connected device, the usage method of the remote control for the device may vary. The main functions that are commonly available on remote controls are explained below.
• Use the same method of operation as you would with the remote control supplied with the connected device. However, buttons for features that are not available in the connected device cannot be used even if they are shown on the on-screen remote control.
• Button names as shown on the on-screen remote control may be different from the names shown on the remote control supplied with the connected device.
• When using a multifunctional connected device such as a combined Hard Disk/- or DVD player/video deck, if the function controlled by the remote control
(see figure 1) is not set correctly the remote control will not function after the connected device is turned on. In this case, switch the function controlled by the remote control to the function in use.
