How to use

Insert the required batteries into the battery compartment following polarity markings and point the remote toward the IR receiver on the target Sony device within typical IR range (usually a few meters). Press the relevant button for the desired function — power, volume, navigation or playback. For some devices, ensure there are no obstacles blocking the line of sight between the remote and the device IR sensor. If the device does not respond immediately, replace batteries or check device IR settings in the equipment menu.

Usage recommendations

Store the remote in a dry, room-temperature environment and remove batteries if the remote will be unused for an extended period to prevent leakage. For optimal operation, keep a clear line of sight between the remote and the device IR receiver and replace batteries when response becomes weak.
