About Presetting the Commander
The Commander is preset at the factory to operate Sony brand
components.
If you're using the Commander with a Sony component, you won't
need to preset the Commander before you start using it.
To set up the Commander to use with other (non-Sony)
manufacturers' components, or to use with a component that is not
preset at the factory, you'll need to follow the instructions in this
manual to preset the Commander with the correct code number for
your components. (See the supplied "Component Code Numbers"
also.)
