Features
The multi functional remote control, RM-NX7000, allows you to control multiple
AV components, lighting equipment, and air-conditioners with one remote
control. The following features are provided.
Easy to use interface
65,536 color operation display
The Remote Commander is equipped
with a vividly clear 65,536 color TFT
LCD operation display for
comfortable operation.
High-speed performance
High-speed CPU for smooth
operation of the Remote Commander.
Computer Interface
The Remote Commander provides a
USB connector and a “Memory Stick”
slot, which allows you to exchange
data with your computer. The high-
speed data transfer USB connection
allows for stress-free exchange of data
with your computer.
Tactile response panel
The Remote Commander is equipped
with the tactile response panel with
the TouchEngine™ technology
providing a realistic “click feel” to a
key when you press it.
Easy setting of the remote control
codes
The intelligent code setting system
simplifies a usually complicated code
setting process.
Extended functions of the
Remote Commander
Customizing of the operation
display
You can customize the operation
display according to your preference.
You can create your own personal
easy-to-use display by changing the
design, allocation of keys, etc.
Direct Access Buttons that call up
desired pages with just one button
You can program frequently used-
pages, etc., for the Direct Access
Buttons, then the page is called up by
simply pressing a single button.
Macro function – A series of
operations at the touch of a button
A macro is a programmed series of
actions condensed into the function of
one button.
If you program several operations
(such as turning on the TV and
selecting a channel) for a key as a
macro, multiple remote control
signals are sent by pressing the one
key.
Component List for easy selection
of a CD or a channel
A Component List shows what
objects a component handles.
For example, if you register CDs in
the CD changer to a Component List,
you can play back a desired CD just
by selecting it from the list. The
Component List can be displayed by
category, such as by artist name,
genre, etc.
9
Zapping function for easy selection
of a channel
Zapping is the function to call up
only desired channels sequentially,
making channel selection (from a
multitude of channels) easy.
For example, if you create a Zapping
group gathering only sports channels,
or movie channels, you can select a
desired channel from the Zapping
group.
Multi Component keys for
operating multiple components on
one display
You can assign function keys of
multiple components to a single
component display.
For example, when you watch a DVD
with a home theater system, if you
register several components used for
playing back a DVD to a key, you can
operate those components in one
display.
“NAVITUS Design” for setting the
Remote Commander more simply
and freely
The supplied software “NAVITUS
Design” allows you to set up the
Remote Commander on your
computer and download the settings
to the Remote Commander. Various
advanced settings can be made easily
on your computer. You also can
download the data from the web site
to program components, and import
a desired image from your computer
to customize the operation display.

Programming remote control signals for a key or button – Learning function (LEARN)
z Tips
• Operate the key or button that learned the signal, and check if the AV component
functions properly. If the AV component does not function properly, perform learning of
a remote control signal again.
•You cannot teach a remote control signal to the Direct Access buttons or Component
keys directly. To use the learned signal with these buttons/keys, first teach function keys
in the component, and then program the action of the learned key/button as a macro for
the Direct Access button or Component key. For details, see “Programming a series of
actions (macro) for a key/button” (page 115).
For accurate learning
•Do not move the remote control units during the learning procedure.
•Do not disconnect or connect the AC power adaptor or the USB cable while
learning. This may cause an incorrect learning procedure. It is recommended
to connect the AC power adaptor before learning.
•Press and hold down the button of the remote control whose signal you want
to teach until a beep sounds.
•Decide the position of two remote control units or the distance between them
according to the position of the infrared ray emitter.
•When you teach signals of an interactive signal exchange system remote
control unit (supplied with some Sony tuners, amplifiers and receivers) to the
Remote Commander, the response signal of the main unit may interfere with
learning of the Remote Commander. In this case, move to a place where the
signals will not reach the main unit (e.g. other rooms, etc.).

Assigning function keys of multiple AV
components to a Component display
The Multi component key is a Component key with which you can remotely
control multiple AV components with function keys of multiple AV components
assigned to one Component display. If you create a Multi component key when
a DVD player is connected to a receiver and a DSP (digital surround processor),
for example, you can remotely control these components in one display without
switching between each component.
The Multi component key can also be created easily with a computer using the supplied
application. For details, refer to the manual (Help) of “NAVITUS Design.”
In this section, how to create a Multi Component “THEATER” key, for
example, containing function keys for a DVD player, a receiver and a DSP
(digital surround processor) together assigned on the Component display is
explained.
How to program a Multi Component “THEATER” key
1Create an Alias Component key.
2 Change the wallpaper.
3 Move or delete the function keys.
4Create Alias function keys and assign them to the component display.

Create Alias function keys
that refer to function keys
of another component you
want to assign to the
Component display.
In this case, assign Alias function keys for
[RCVR] (Receiver), [DSP] (digital surround
processor) and [DVD] in the frames for
respective components of the “Theatre”
component display.

About the Multi Component keys created in the default
settings at the factory
In the Remote Commander, nine Multi Component keys, such as the [TV/VCR]
key, the [TV/DVD] key, etc., have already been created on pages 2/3 and 3/3 of
the Home display. Because all the Multi Component keys are created so that
they refer to other keys by the Alias setting, the already set contents will be
overwritten if you perform some new settings for these keys by the customizing
function, etc. Therefore, if you delete the setting contents of a Multi Component
key after performing new settings, the key will become an Empty key and the
contents set at the factory cannot be returned to the original status. If you want
to return the setting contents to the original status, perform the setting again.

Outline of a series of actions (macro)
In this section, the concept of a macro, types of macros and the setting up
procedure of a macro are explained.
What is a macro ?
If you program a series of actions as one operation, you can transmit several
remote control signals in proper order by simply pressing a key/button. This
series of actions is an action program (macro), and “programming a macro”
means “programming an action program for a key/button.” For example, if you
program the following actions, which are required for playing a DVD, as a
macro, you can watch a DVD by simply pressing a key/button.
Remote control operations to see a DVD image
1Turn on the amplifier.
2Turn on the TV.
3Turn on the DVD.
4 Set the input selector of the amplifier to DVD.
5 Set the input selector of the TV to DVD.
6 Start DVD playback.

Types of macros and setting flow
There are the three following types of macros.
SYSTEM MACRO: A macro programmed for a function key/button. A
series of actions you programmed works when the
programmed key/button is pressed.
COMPONENT MACRO: A macro programmed for a Component key. A series
of actions you programmed works when the
programmed key/button is pressed for 2 seconds or
longer.
TIMER MACRO: A macro programmed for a Timer program key that is
created for the timer operation. A series of actions you
programmed works when the set time comes if the
timer is set.

* The maximum number for operation steps to be programmed changes depending on the memory
capacity.
•A macro cannot be programmed for the following buttons
– COMMANDER OFF button
– HOME button
– NEXT/BACK button
About the circulated reference
The circulated reference is caused when keys refer to each other by the Alias setting and
the operation procedure becomes looped and endless. For example, if you set a macro
procedure of Key A to Key B and a macro procedure of Key B to Key A, the two key refer
to each other and the operation will be looped and endless.
On this Remote Commander, when you select keys that refer to each other, a message
appears to prevent the circulated reference.
About the order of operation steps
Certain components may not accept consecutive remote control signals. For example, a TV
generally does not react 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 like the example below.
About the interval between operation steps ([DELAY] key)
If intervals between consecutive remote control signals are short, a component may not
function properly. If this happens, create an interval (delay time) between operation steps.
You can set a 0.2 second interval (fixed) by pressing the [DELAY] key. If a longer interval is
necessary, press the [DELAY] key as many times as required. Each time you press the
[DELAY] key, this operation is counted as a step. The interval can be changed using the
supplied application on your computer between 0.1 second and 1 second. For details, refer
to “Editing the Action list of a function key” (“NAVITUS Design” manual (Help)).

Procedure for jumping to a certain display ([JUMP] key)
If you press the [JUMP] key, that appears in the display for selecting a component or the
function key/button you want to program for a macro, you can insert an operation step
for jumping to the shown display between steps.
To program to turn on a component when it is selected
If there is a Power-on key/button in a Component display, set the key/button as
a step of a macro to the Component key. You can turn on the component by just
pressing the Component key for 2 seconds or longer (delay time).
Note
If you set the power-on/off function to a macro, the component may be turned on or off
unexpectedly. Confirm the setting contents when you program a macro.
z Tip
If you are using a Sony AV component, the power-on and power-off keys are assigned on
the second page of the Component display. These keys are programmed with the
functions to power on and power off respectively.
The delay time can be changed using the supplied application “NAVITUS
Design.” For details, refer to “Adding a Delay action (“Set delay time” dialog
box)” in the manual (Help) of “NAVITUS Design.”

Notes
• A Timer program key can have only one Timer macro. If you want to set a component to
turn on at a programmed time, and to set the component to turn off at another time,
program two Timer macros separately.
• According to the status of the component operated by the Timer macro, the next
program might not work successfully. When setting a Timer macro, check carefully the
setting contents of other Timer macros.
• While a Timer program is working, if the set time for another Timer program is reached,
the Timer program starts after the current program finishes.
About the execution time of the macro procedure you have set for the
timer macro
The execution of the timer macro starts from the first operation step (action)
programmed for the macro procedure. Because it may take some time before the
last operation step is executed depending on the contents of the macro
procedure, the last operation step may start later than the programmed time.
Therefore, set the time regarding the contents of the macro procedure, etc., when
setting the timer.

Outline of Zapping
What is Zapping?
Zapping is the function to call up easily and sequentially only desired channels,
enabling channel selection from multiple channels grouped by genre. For
example, if you create a “NEWS” group by gathering your favorite news
channels together, you can select any one channel set to this group.
You can also use Zapping for selecting a disc from a disc changer.
To use the Zapping function, first you need to create a group where you collect
channels. This group is called a “Zapping group”, and each channel contained
in the group is called a “Zapping element.” In the above example, “NEWS” is a
Zapping group and each news channel is a “Zapping element.”
You need to assign a viewer in the Component display to actually operate a
created Zapping group with the Remote Commander.
This viewer is called a “Zapping viewer.” After assigning a Zapping viewer in
the Component display, with the
/ , / keys of the Zapping viewer, you
can switch among elements (channels) in the Zapping group one after another.

About a “Memory Stick”
What is a “Memory Stick”?
A “Memory stick” is a small and light IC recording media with a storage
capacity larger than a floppy disk. It can be used in specified external connected
devices or as a removable recording media for saving data, as well as a data-
exchangeable media between various “Memory Stick”-compatible devices.
A “Memory Stick” comes in standard size and a more compact size, called
“Memory Stick Duo.” By attaching a “Memory Stick Duo” adaptor, a “Memory
Stick Duo” can also be used with products compatible with a standard-sized
“Memory Stick.”
Notes
• The Remote Commander is not compatible with “Memory Stick Pro.”
• The Remote Commander is not supplied with a “Memory Stick.” You can use functions
described in this chapter after purchasing a “Memory Stick.”
• For details on handling a “Memory Stick”, refer to the instructions supplied with the
“Memory Stick.”
• The Remote Commander consumes considerably more battery power when using a
“Memory Stick” than when operating other functions. Use the AC power adaptor for
“Memory Stick” operation.
About a “Memory Stick Duo”
•Before using a “Memory Stick Duo” with the Remote Commander, make sure
to attach it to a “Memory Stick Duo” adaptor to it.
•Make sure to insert a “Memory Stick Duo” in the correct direction. If a
“Memory Stick Duo” is inserted in the wrong direction, the device may be
damaged.
•Do not insert a “Memory Stick Duo” adaptor into a “Memory Stick”-
compatible device without a “Memory Stick Duo” attached. If used in this
way, the device may be damaged.
About formatting a “Memory Stick”
A “Memory Stick” is already formatted at the factory in original standard
format. If it is necessary to format a “Memory Stick” yourself, format it using
the format function on the Remote Commander (page 209).
Note
If you format a “Memory Stick” using the “Memory Stick” drive on the computer, a
“Memory Stick” cannot be used with “NAVITUS Design” or the Remote Commander.
Make sure to format a “Memory Stick” with the Remote Commander.

Using a “Memory Stick”
While reading or writing data
“Do not remove the “Memory Stick”” appears in the display. Do not subject the
Remote Commander to excessive shock or vibration while reading or writing
data. Also, avoid disconnecting the AC power adaptor or removing the
“Memory Stick”, as saved data, the Remote Commander system, or the
“Memory Stick” may be damaged.
Notes on use
•We recommend backing up data frequently to avoid data loss. Sony is not
liable for data that is lost or damaged.
•You cannot use copyrighted recorded materials without permission except for
personal use.
•Software specifications of the Remote Commander are subject to change
without notice due to improvements.

Reading data saved in a “Memory Stick”
(READ)
You can import data set up with the supplied application or the latest remote
control codes downloaded from a web site to the Remote Commander from
“NAVITUS Design” using a “Memory Stick.”
The following data can be saved to a “Memory Stick” using a computer. *
1)
•All environment data (all data of the Remote Commander)
•Latest remote control code (preset code) and its image data
•Data for each component
*
1)
A single “Memory Stick” can contain only one of the above.
• For details on how to save data to the “Memory Stick” from a computer, refer to
“Exporting the settings by NAVITUS Design to a Memory Stick” (“NAVITUS Design”
manual (Help)).
• The data saved by any application other than “NAVITUS Design” cannot be read.
The procedure explained here is for when the “Memory Stick” detection
message appears after inserting a “Memory Stick.”

The Remote Commander fails to
learn the remote control signals.
When the display is in the standby
mode for the remote control signal
input to be learned, the backlight
will not turn on, even if you tap the
display or press a button.
You cannot operate a component
even after you programmed the
remote control signals with the
learning function.
Remedy
• Leaning has not succeeded. After checking the
following, try the learning procedure again
(page 58).
– Change the distance between a remote
control of a component and the Remote
Commander.
– See “For accurate learning” (page 62).
• When you teach signals of an interactive signal
exchange system remote control unit (supplied
with some Sony receivers and amplifiers) to the
Remote Commander, the response signal of the
main unit, such as an amplifier, may interfere
with the learning of the Remote Commander.
In such a case, move to a place where the
signals will not reach the main unit (e.g.
another room, etc.).
•A component may not satisfy the specifications
for learning corresponding with the Remote
Commander. You cannot use the learning
function for a component that does not satisfy
the specifications corresponding with the
Remote Commander.
•You may have pressed a function key or button
to which the learning signal cannot be set. You
cannot set learning signals to the Component
keys or buttons when the Home display is
shown.
• If the display turns off when the display is in
the standby mode for the remote control signal
input to be learned, the backlight will not turn
on, even if you tap the display or press a
button. If you tap the display or press a button
after the standby mode of the display finishes,
the backlight will turn on.

Troubleshooting
Continued
Symptom
A beep sounds twice, and the
display does not change even if you
press a key.
You cannot operate your
components.
Remedy
• The settings are locked and cannot be edited.
Release the lock (page 223).
• Move closer to the component. The maximum
operating distance is approximately 10 meters
(32.8 feet).
• Check that you are aiming the Remote
Commander directly at the component, and
that there are no obstructions between the
Remote Commander and the remote control
detector of the component.
•Turn on the component first, if necessary.
• Check that you have selected the correct
Component key, and that the preset code
programmed for the Component key is correct.
• Check the remote control functions for the keys
and buttons. With this Remote Commander,
various remote control functions can be
assigned to keys and buttons by the learning
function. It may be that the function you set is
different from the name (label) of the key or
button you are trying to operate, or, that the
function keys of different components are set
for one Component key.
•You might have changed the reference key for
an Alias key or button. The function of the
Alias key or button will be changed if the
reference key for the key or button is changed.
• Check that the component has infrared remote
capability. For example, if your component is
not supplied with a remote control, it probably
is not capable of being controlled by a remote
control.
Trouble with the operation mode
235
Additional Information
Symptom
You cannot control the volume.
You cannot press the [SET] key.
Remedy
• The Remote Commander is Alias-set at the
factory to adjust the volume of a visual
component on a TV and the volume of an
audio component on an amplifier, assuming
that you hear the sound of a visual component
from the TV speakers and the sound of an
audio component from the speakers connected
to an AV amplifier.
If you want to adjust the volume of the
amplifier when selecting another visual
component, or if you want to adjust the volume
of the TV when selecting an audio component,
set the VOL +/– buttons assigned to the TV or
the amplifier as Alias keys or buttons for the
component. For details on setting the Alias key,
see “Setting a function key of another
component to a Component display (ALIAS)”
(page 100).
• The key or button set as the reference key for
the Alias setting of the volume control is
assigned to a preset AV component which has
no volume control function. In this case, you
cannot control the volume because the
reference component has no volume control
function.
• The alignment is incorrect. If the [SET] key
does not appear pressed even after you have
pressed on and around the key, enter the
setting display for the alignment following the
procedure below and calibrate the touch panel
display.

Additional Information
Symptom
Data of the “Memory Stick” cannot
be read by the Remote Commander
or data of the Remote Commander
cannot be written to the “Memory
Stick.”
When an Alias component is read
from a “Memory Stick”, the keys for
the component do not operate
though they are shown in the
display.
When skins and labels of a
component edited with “NAVITUS
Design” are read to the Remote
Commander using a “Memory
Stick”, the setting contents cannot
be reflected.
Remedy
• The size of the data saved on the “Memory
Stick” is larger than the free memory space of
the Remote Commander. Delete unnecessary
pages, etc., using “NAVITUS Design”, and save
the file again. Then read the “Memory Stick”
on the Remote Commander again.
• When you are trying to read all environment
data or preset data and its image data, if the
version of the data on the Remote Commander
is newer than that of the “Memory Stick” to be
read, you cannot update the data. Read a newer
version than that on the Remote Commander.
• When you are trying to read component data, if
the preset version on the Remote Commander
is older than that of the “Memory Stick” to be
read, you cannot add the data by reading.
Update the preset version on the Remote
Commander to the latest, and then read again.
• Make sure that the write-protect tab of the
“Memory Stick” is not set to “LOCK.”
• When an Alias component is read from a
“Memory Stick”, linking is disconnected and
the setting contents cannot be read. Edit again
with the Remote Commander by learning or
programming a macro in the setting mode.
•You may have written data to a “Memory
Stick” as component data. If component data is
read, the skin setting cannot be read. Write data
again to a “Memory Stick” as full data.

Additional Information
Others
Symptom
A beep sounds, and the error
message “Import full data from
NAVITUS Design using the
“Memory Stick” or USB.” appears.
Remedy
•A problem with the project file may have
occured.
Transfer full data to the Remote Commander
with USB by connecting the USB cable and the
AC power adaptor, or read full data from a
“Memory Stick.” If the same message appears
repeatedly reqardless of how many times you
transfer/read full data, the capacity of full data
written from “NAVITUS Design” may exceed
the free memory capacity of the Remote
Commander. In this case, reduce the capacity of
full data by deleting any unnecessary
components with “NAVITUS Design,” or avoid
using image files imported for wallpapers/
skins as much as possible, and then try to write
full data to the Remote Commander again.
When transferring or reading full data is
complete, the message “Finished. Restarting.”
appears. Press the [OK] key, and wait until the
Remote Commander starts. When this message
appears, set the system clock again after the
