Troubleshooting - Sony RM-VL1400T Mode D'emploi

Troubleshooting

If you have problems setting up or using the Remote Commander, first check the batteries
(page 5), then check the items below.
Problem
You cannot operate the
components.
You cannot operate the
components even after setting the
preset code.
You cannot control the volume.
The Remote Commander fails to
learn the remote control signals.
Solution
• Move 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 A/V components first, if necessary.
• Check that you are pressing the correct COMPONENT
select button or Label select button.
• 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 or component label. A
corresponding component is determined by setting a preset
code. Therefore, the name of the component you have
preset may be different from that of the component label.
In this case, it is recommended to preset again (page 7) and
change the component name on the label (page 15).
• 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 they are listed in the
supplied "Preset Code List."
• 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
programme the remote control signals for the component
(page 12).
• The desired A/V component may not be operated by the
preset code listed in the "Preset Code List." See "Setting
A/V components which are not listed in the Preset Code
List" (page 8) to set the preset code available for the A/V
component.
• If your visual components are connected to an audio
system, make sure you have set up the Remote
Commander as described in "Controlling the volume of
visual components connected to an audio component"
(page 23).
• You have programmed remote control signals on the TV
or amplifier's volume control buttons. In this case, the
Remote Commander transmits the learned signals instead
of the volume control signals when you select a
component other than a TV or amplifier.
• When learning, place the Remote Commander and your
A/V component's remote control at a distance of 5 -10 cm
(2-4 inches) away from each other.
• Check that the battery power of your A/V component's
remote control is sufficient. If not, replace the battery
with a new one.
• Before learning, turn off other infrared devices, such as
air-conditioners or headphones.
• Learning may not succeed near a plasma display. Try
changing the position or turn off a plasma display.
• Learning may not succeed under strong fluorescent light.
Try changing the position.
• When you teach 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 cannot reach the main unit
(e.g. another room, etc.).
