Programming the 
Remote Control
The remote control is preset to operate Sony brand video equipment.
If you have video equipment other than Sony brand that you want to 
control with the TV’s remote control, use the following procedures to 
program the remote control. 
1
Turn to “Programmable Codes” on page 43, and find the three-
digit code number for your equipment. If more than one code 
number is listed, use the number listed first to complete the 
following procedure.
2
Press CODE SET.
3
Move the slide switch to the desired input. 
4
Enter the three-digit code number.
5
Press ENTER.
Tips
If more than one code number is listed, try entering them one by 
one until you come to the correct code for your equipment.
If you enter a new code number, the code number you previously 
entered at that setting is erased.
In some rare cases, you may not be able to operate your 
equipment with the supplied remote control. In this case, use the 
equipment’s own remote control unit.
Whenever you remove the batteries to replace them, the code 
numbers may revert to the factory setting and must be reset.
