Features

The RM-AX4000 Remote Commander

provides centralized control of all your

AV components from a single remote

control and saves the trouble of operating

different AV components with different

remote control devices. The following are

its main features.

Control up to 16 components

With the Remote Commander, you can

control up to 16 components, including

your TV, VCR, DVD, DVR, CD, RCVR,

etc.

Centralized control of Sony AV

components with this one Remote

Commander

The Remote 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

The Remote Commander also recognizes

the preset codes for most major brands

components, as well as Sony. Just select

the corresponding codes to control all

your AV components.

XPRESS functions for executing a

series of actions to operate several

AV components by pressing just one

key.

Groups of commands from different

components can be set for up to 8

XPRESS functions. For example, when

you watch a DVD using a TV and

amplifier/receiver, you can press just one

key to turn on/off each component, and

select the correct inputs. Available keys

for the XPRESS function appear on the

LCD display.

Also, the XPRESS function can memorize

the status of power on/off, input select

status of each component, and send a

signal to synchronize them to the Remote

Commander, regardless of their current.

Air-Slide executes an XPRESS

function by “sliding your finger”

across the LCD display

You can also perform an XPRESS

function by sliding your finger in a set

pattern across the Remote Commander's

LCD Display. This function is called an

“Air-Slide”, and 6 different patterns are

available.

The AX Remote Editor software allows

you to make advanced settings for the

Remote Commander.

Clock display and Timer function

Up to 8 Timer macros can be

programmed to automatically turn on/

off components and other controls (such

as recording, stopping, etc.).

Learning function lets you program

other remote control signals you may

need

The Remote Commander can learn the

remote control infrared signals of non-

preset components. The Remote

Commander can learn remote control

signals (infrared signals only) of other

devices such as air conditioners, lights,

etc. (some specific appliances or

functions may not be available).

System Control function executes a

series of actions (a macro) by

pressing one button/key

In addition to the XPRESS function, more

settings can be programmed to perform a

series of actions (a macro) just by

pressing one button. You can program up

to 8 System Control functions.

Furthermore, you can program a series of

actions (a macro) to other buttons as a

single step of an XPRESS function or

component operation.

KeyMacro function allows you to

select a channel with a single key

The Remote Commander allows you to

program a macro for a key to operate an

AV component. For example, you can

create a macro that enters the numbers 1,

2, and 3, to select channel 123 just by

pressing one key.

The AX Remote Editor software allows

you to make advanced settings for the

Remote Commander.

Easy-to-operate Touch-key LCD with

blue back light

The Remote Commander has a Touch-

key LCD that changes keys and labels

according to the selected component. The

Remote Commander is easy to operate as

only the keys necessary to operate the

selected component are shown. The

display backlight allows operation even

in the dark.

The supplied software “AX Remote

Editor” for easy Remote Commander

setup

By installing the “AX Remote Editor” on

the supplied CD-ROM onto your PC, you

can customize the setting of the Remote

Commander according to your

preferences. You can also program

various advanced settings easily.

The settings programmed on your PC

can be transferred to the Remote

Commander as necessary using the

supplied USB cable.

and – of the battery compartment.

When to replace the

batteries

When replacing the batteries, do it

quickly. Otherwise, the memory

settings for the clock will be erased.

The clock does not work while

replacing the batteries.

Alkaline batteries will last up to 5

months (a Sony TV turned On/Off up to

approx. 300 times per day). If the Remote

Commander does not operate properly,

the batteries are getting weak and E

appears on the LCD display. When the

LCD display dims or the backlight for the

touch keys grows dim, the batteries are

getting weak, and need to be replaced.

Notes on replacing the batteries

• Do not attempt to recharge dry batteries.

• Do not carry dry batteries together with coins

or other metallic objects. This can generate

heat if the positive and negative terminals of

the batteries accidentally come into contact

with metallic objects.

• When you are not going to use the unit for a

long time, remove the batteries to avoid

damage from battery leakage and corrosion.

• Do not use different types of batteries at the

same time.

• When you replace the batteries, replace them

both with new ones.
