Features  
The RM-VL610 Remote Commander provides centralized control of all  
your AV components from a single remote commander and saves the  
trouble of operating different AV components with different remote  
control devices. The following are its main features.  
Centralized control of Sony AV components with this one remote  
commander  
This 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  
This Commander is preset for most major brands components as well as  
Sony. You can remote control your non-Sony components by setting the  
type and code number of each component (page 10).  
Learning function for programming various other remote control  
signals  
This Commander has a Learning function, to “learn” the remote control  
signals needed to operate other non-preset components or functions. (To  
“teach” such signals to this Commander, use the remote control supplied  
with the non-preset components.) (page 16)  
In addition, the Commander can “learn” remote control signals (infrared  
signals only) of non-Audio Visual components such as air-conditioners,  
lights, etc. (Some specific appliances or functions may not be available.)  
(page 24)  
Reassigning new components  
You can assign Component Select buttons to freely operate other  
components. This is useful when you have more than two of the same  
kind of AV component (only if a Component Select button is free.) (page  
33)  
You can only assign TVs to the TV Component Select button.  
You can only assign an amplifier or DVD/Receiver combo to the AMP  
Component Select button.

Installing the  
Batteries  
Batteries for remote control  
operation (two size AA (R6)  
batteries)  
Under normal conditions, the  
batteries will last up to 1 year. If  
the Commander does not operate  
properly, the batteries might be  
drained. When this happens,  
replace the batteries with new  
ones.  
Slide open the battery  
compartment lid and insert two  
size AA (R6) batteries (not  
supplied). Be sure to match up the  
+ and – indications on the  
batteries with the + and –  
indications on the battery  
compartment.  
Note  
Do not take more than one hour to  
replace the batteries. Otherwise, your  
code number settings (page 10) and  
“learned” remote control signals (page  
16) will be erased.  
Notes on batteries  
• Do not use an old battery with a new  
one, or mix different types of  
batteries together.  
• If the electrolyte inside the battery  
should leak, wipe the contaminated  
area of the battery compartment with  
a cloth and replace the old batteries  
with new ones. To prevent electrolyte  
from leaking, remove the batteries if  
you plan not to use the Commander  
for a long period of time.  
Insert the batteries (negative end  
first) through the guide clamp  
within each compartment as  
shown above.

For accurate Learning  
Do not move the remote units  
during the Learning procedure.  
Be sure to keep holding down  
the “learning” button until your  
Commander reacts as described.  
Use fresh batteries in both  
remote units.  
Avoid Learning in places subject  
to direct sunlight or a strong  
fluorescent light. (Noise may

procedure.)  
The remote control detector area  
may differ depending on each  
remote unit. If Learning does not  
work, try changing the positions  
of the two remote control units.  
When you teach signals of an  
interactive signal exchange  
system remote control unit  
(supplied with some of Sony’s  
amplifiers) to the Commander,  
the response signal of the main  
unit may interfere with the  
learning of the Commander. In  
such a case, move to a place  
where the signals will not reach  
the main unit (e.g. other rooms,  
etc.).  
If you used the Learning  
function to program the VOL +/–  
or MUTING buttons to send any  
signal to components other than  
the TV or AMP, that signal will  
be transmitted only by pressing  
VOL +/– or MUTING when you  
select that component.  
If you used the Learning  
function to program the VOL +/–  
or MUTING buttons to send any  
signal to the TV or AMP, that  
signal will be transmitted only  
after you select TV or AMP.  
When you select other  
components, the “learned”  
signal will be transmitted.  
To “teach” the signals for an  
air-conditioner  
See “Notes on programming the  
signals for an air-conditioner” on  
page 24.  
IMPORTANT  
Be sure to place the  
Commander out of the reach of  
small children or pets, and lock  
the controls using the Hold  
function (page 34).  
Components such as air  
conditioners, heaters, electric  
appliances, and electric  
shutters or curtains receiving  
an infrared signal can be  
dangerous if misused.

speakers, and that you hear sound  
of your audio components from  
the loudspeakers connected to  
your amplifier.  
For example, to control the  
volume while using a VCR, you  
don’t need to press the TV button  
to control the TV volume.

Some of the components may not  
accept consecutive remote control  
signals. For example, some TVs  
generally may not respond to the  
next signal right after the Power-  
on signal. So, a series of  
commands such as TV Power-on  
and input select may not work  
properly.  
In this case, insert other signals to  
other components such as in the

Troubleshooting  
If you have problems setting up or using the Remote Commander, first  
check the batteries (page 8), then check the items below.  
Symptom  
Remedy  
You cannot operate  
components.  
• Move closer to the component. The maximum operating  
distance is approximately 32.8 ft. (10 m).  
• Check that you are aiming the Commander directly at the  
component, and that there are no obstructions between the  
Commander and the component.  
• Power on the components first, if necessary.  
• Make sure you have pressed the correct Component Select  
button. In case of CBL or DVD, make sure the desired  
component is selected.  
• 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. Check the component assigned to that button  
and the component code.  
You cannot control the  
volume.  
• If your visual components are connected to an audio system,  
make sure you have set up the Commander as described in  
“Controlling the Volume of Visual Components Connected to  
an Audio System” (page 25).  
• You have assigned another component on the TV or AMP  
button (page 33). In this case, the volume cannot be controlled  
when you select components other than a TV or AMP.

constant interval when  
you press a button.  
You cannot operate a  
component even after  
setting the component  
code numbers.  
• 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 in which they are listed in the  
supplied “Component Code Numbers.”  
• 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 program  
the remote control signals for the component (page 16).  
• The component may be operated with a code number that is  
not listed in the “Component code numbers”. See “Setting a  
Component Code by the Search Function” (page 13) and try  
setting a code number again with the Search function.

system remote control unit (supplied with some of Sony’s  
amplifiers) to the Commander, the response signal of the  
main unit may interfere with the learning of the Commander.  
In such a case, move to a place where the signals will not  
reach the main unit (e.g., another room, etc.).  
You cannot operate a  
component even after  
you programmed the  
remote control signals  
with the Learning  
function.  
• Make sure that the Remote Commander has “learned” the  
correct signals. If not, see “For accurate Learning” (page 19)  
and try the Learning procedure again (page 16).

This function is for Sony components only.  
The System Control  
function or Control  
Program function does  
not work properly.  
• When you program a System Control function or Control  
Program function, make sure to follow the correct steps  
(pages 29, 32).  
• Change the direction the Remote Commander is aimed. If the  
problem persists, position the programmed components  
closer together.  
• If the remote control receivers of the components are too far  
apart, or if something is blocking the signals between them,  
some of the components may not operate in sequence even  
after you press the programmed button. If some of the  
components do not operate correctly because of the above or  
any other reason, position the components back to the way  
they were before you set the System Control function or  
Control Program function. Failure to do this can result in  
incorrect operation when you use these functions again.  
• Some components may not always be powered on by the  
System Control function or Control Program function. This is  
because the power of the component turns on and off  
alternately when receiving the power on/off signal. In this  
case, check the operating component‘s power on/off state  
before using the System Control function.  
• If you change the AV brands‘ component code number (page  
10) set on a Component Select button that has been  
programmed for a series of commands by the Control  
Program function, the new signal will be transmitted when  
you press the corresponding Component Select button.  
• The intervals between steps may be too short. Depending on  
the components, you may need to insert an interval between  
consecutive controls. You can insert an interval by changing  
the order of pressing the buttons. (You can insert an interval  
between steps when programming the Component Select  
button.)  
• If a SYSTEM CONTROL button or a Component Select button  
has already “learned” a remote control signal (page 16), you  
can program a System Control function (System Control  
Macro) or a Control Program function (Component Macro),  
but the function will not work until you clear the Learned  
function. To clear the Learned function, see “Changing or  
erasing the function of a “learned” button” on page 22.
