Sony STR-D965 - Manual (Page 20)

Advanced Remote Operations
Programming the Remote
(for STR-D%5 only)
The RM-P351 remote included with the STR-D965 can
control non-Sony components by "learning" the
control signals from their remotes. Once this remote
learns the other components signals, you can use these
components as part of your system. Additionally, if
you have any Sony components that fail to operate
with this remote, use this programming function. This
remote can "learn" signals only from other infrared
wireless remotes. Before you progr am signals, make
sure that the two remotes:
• Face straight at each other (see Step 3 below)
• Are placed at a distance of about 2 inches (5 cm)
• Are not moved during programming

FUNCTION
1 Press the SYSTEM CONTROL/FUNCTION button
of the component you want to program.
For example, if you want to program a CD player's
remote, press CD.
2 Press LEARN to turn on the LEARN indicator.
3 Press the button on this unit's remote that is to
"learn" the signal from the other remote.
The LEARN indicator flashes slowly.
For the buttons you can use, see "Remote Button
Descriptions" on page 27 for the buttons you can
use to operate each component.
4 On the other remote, select the function that the
receiver's remote is to "learn" and hold down its
button until the LEARN indicator lights steadily.
5 Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to program other buttons.
Note that each button can only "learn" one signal
from another remote.
6 Press LEARN.
After the LEARN indicator turns off, you can
control the other component with the programmed
buttons.
'Q' When you program the recording signal
While holding down the • button on the receiver's
remote and press the record button on the other remote.
*Q' If you cannot successfully program signals, check the
following:
• If the LEARN indicator does not light up at all, the
batteries are weak. Replace both batteries.
• If the LEARN indicator does not flash or light up in
Step 3 or 4, there is interference. Clear the signal as
described in "Clearing the programmed signal" below
and program again from the beginning.
• The two remotes are placed too far apart. Make sure
they are only 2 inches apart.
• If you don't proceed to the following steps within about
1 minute during Steps 2 and 3, the remote automatically
exits learning mode. Start again from Step 2.
• If the memory in the remote has become full, (If you
program signals of Sony components, you can store
about 60 signals.) you can program a new signal on a
previously programmed button, but the new signal will
replace the previously programmed one.
Notes
• You cannot turn on programmed components by pressing a
SYSTEM CONTROL/FUNCTION button. You have to turn
on the component's power switch.
• Do not program remote signals of air conditioners or other
household appliances.
Clearing the programmed signal
To clear the programmed signals, do the following.
The button's functions are reset to the factory-preset.
1 Press LEARN to turn on the LEARN indicator.
2 While holding down BACKGROUND, hold down
the button to be cleared until the LEARN indicator
turns off.
If the LEARN indicator flashes rapidly
You cannot use the button you've pressed.
