Operating Instructions

RM-VL610

Features

The RM-VL610 Remote Commander provides centralized 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.

Centralized 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 center 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 10).

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 16)

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 24)

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

33)

You can only assign TVs to the TV Component Select button.

You can only assign an amplifier or DVD/Receiver combo to the AMP

Component Select button.

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

don’t 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

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 or

DAV, 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 or DAV.

Troubleshooting

If you have problems setting up or using the Remote Commander, first

check the batteries (page 8), then check the items below.

Symptom

Remedy

You cannot operate

components.

• Move closer to the component. The maximum operating

distance is approximately 32.8 ft. (10 m).

• 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 CBL or DVD, make sure the desired

component is selected.

• Check that the component has infrared remote capability. For

example, if your component didn’t come with a remote

commander, it probably isn’t 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 25).

• You have assigned another component on the TV or AMP

button (page 33). In this case, the volume cannot be controlled

when you select components other than a TV or AMP.

setting the component

code numbers.

• Set the component code correctly. If the code that is listed first

for your 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 program

the remote control signals for the component (page 16).

• 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 13) and try

setting a code number again with the Search function.

not work properly.

• When you program a System Control function or Control

Program function, make sure to follow the correct steps

(pages 29, 32).

• 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 Program 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 Program 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

10) set on a Component Select button that has been

programmed for a series of commands by the Control

Program 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 16), you

can program a System Control function (System Control

Macro) or a Control Program 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 22.
