The RM-TP2 Interactive Remote Commander provides centralized control of all your AV
components from a single remote commander and saves you the trouble of operating different AV
components with different remote control devices. Its main features are as follows:
Centralized control of Sony AV components with this one remote
commander
This Commander is preset to operate Sony brand components, so you can use it right out of the
box as a control center for your Sony AV components. This Commander also incorporates a
variety of operations especially for Sony amplifiers/receivers (page 19).

key (page 22). You can program up to 16 Macro Plays.
Learning Function for programming additional remote control signals
This Commander has a Learning Function, to learn the signals from other remotes and operate
non-preset components or functions (page 26). The Learning Function can be used with preset
operation keys and USER RESERVE KEYS.
Easy-to-operate touch sensitive LCD and the jog dial

Preparations
This chapter describes how to prepare the
remote commander for operation. Be sure to
read this section before operating.
Compatible components
and functions
This unit is a remote control system that
utilizes infrared rays to control amplifiers/
receivers and AV components.
Compatible Components
This unit can be used to operate Sony AV
components as well as AV components made
by other manufacturers. Setup is necessary in
order to operate components made by other
manufacturers (page 10).
Note
Depending on the component, control may not be
possible using this unit.
Functions
This commander operates under the 1 way and
the 2 way remote system. As a 2 way remote
commander, you can operate the Sony
components compatible with the 2 way remote
system. Under the 2 way remote system, not
only does it transmit infrared rays for operation
of the amplifier/receiver, it also receives
infrared rays emitted by the amplifier/receiver
to display characters and other information
from components connected to the amplifier/
receiver with a CONTROL A1/A1
cord. This
commander can also exchange data directly
with 2 way CD players (page 20).
In addition, this commander is equipped with 2
remote code transmitter/receiver sections in
order to provide a greater operating range.
Preparations
Preparing the commander
Charging the battery
Before you use the commander, charge the
battery. The exclusive rechargeable battery is
built-in.
1 Connect the AC adapter to the battery
charger.
2 Place the commander on the battery
charger.
The indicator lights in red while charging.
Charging is finished when the lights turns to
green. It takes about 6 hours to fully charge
the battery.
Notes
· The contrast and the touch panel is adjusted
correctly when shipped. If the LCD shifts from the
normal operating position, or the LCD is too bright
or dark to see, use RM SETUP screen to adjust
them (page 30).
· The LCD turns on when touched. The LCD also
turns on when the BACK LIGHT button is pressed.
· ?/1/SYSTEM STANDBY, MASTER VOL +/­,
MUTING, SLEEP, TV INPUT, TV CH +/­, and
TV VOL +/­ buttons can be used even when the
LCD is not lit.
· Pressing the BACK LIGHT button turns the
backlight on or off. Holding it down for about 2
seconds turns the LCD off.
· If the commander is not used for 60 seconds, the
LCD turns off automatically (Auto Off function).
The Auto Off function can be changed between 10
and 90 seconds under "Setting the LCD turn off
time" in the RM SETUP screen (page 31).
