The following are the steps for ENTERING THE CODE NUMBER for the Sony Universal Remote Control:
- Press and Release the 'S' (set) button

- Enter in the component's 2-digit number (it has been reported that you may have to enter a 0 before the 2-digit number on some models)
- Press and Release the ENTER button to store the code
To CHECK IF THE CODE NUMBER WORKS, do the following:
- Power ON the component you want to set up

- The component should power OFF
The following are the steps for SEARCHING FOR THE CORRECT CODE:
