Control up to 8 components  
With the Remote Commander, you can  
control up to 8 components, including  
your TV, VCR, DVD, DVR, CD, RCVR,  
etc.  
Features  
The RM-AX1400 Remote Commander  
provides centralized control of all your  
AV components from a single remote  
control 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  
The Remote 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.  
The supplied software “AX1400  
Remote Editor” for easy Remote  
Commander setup  
By installing the “AX1400 Remote  
Editor” on the supplied CD-ROM onto  
your PC, you can customize the setting of  
the Remote Commander according to  
your preferences.  
You can also program various advanced  
settings easily. (The main settings of the  
Remote Commander can only be  
programmed using “AX1400 Remote  
Editor.”)  
The settings programmed on your PC  
can be transferred to the Remote  
Commander as necessary using the  
supplied Dedicated USB cable.  
Remote control signals for non-Sony  
components are also preset  
The Remote Commander also recognizes  
the preset codes for most major brands  
components, as well as Sony. Just select  
the corresponding codes to control all  
your AV components.  
Learning function lets you program  
other remote control signals you may  
need  
The Remote Commander can learn the  
remote control infrared signals of  
non-preset components. The Remote  
Commander can learn remote control  
signals (infrared signals only) of other  
devices such as air conditioners, lights,  
etc. (some specific appliances or  
functions may not be available).  
XPRESS function for executing a  
series of actions to operate several  
AV components by pressing just one  
button  
Groups of commands from different  
components can be set for up to 8  
XPRESS functions. For example, when  
you watch a DVD using a TV and an  
amplifier/receiver, you can press just one  
button to turn on/off each component, and  
select the correct inputs. Other buttons  
operate source components (the  
components which output picture or  
sound).  
Also, the XPRESS function can memorize  
the status of power on/off, input select  
status of each component, and send a  
signal to synchronize them to the Remote  
Commander, regardless of their current  
status.  
System Control function executes a  
series of actions (a macro) by  
pressing one button  
In addition to the XPRESS function, more  
settings can be programmed to perform a  
series of actions (a macro) just by  
pressing one button. You can program up  
to 8 System Control functions.  
Furthermore, you can program a series of  
actions (a macro) to other buttons as a  
single step of an XPRESS function or  
component operation.  
Label function lets you display the  
comment assigned to each button  
By registering a comment (up to 12  
letters) using “AX1400 Remote Editor”  
for each button, you can display the  
comment when you press the button.  
Bright and clear organic EL display  
and button illumination  
Embedded organic EL  
(electroluminescence) display and button  
illumination allow you to operate easily  
in the dark.

• Check that you are aiming the Remote Commander directly at  
the component, and that there are no obstructions between the  
Remote Commander and the component.  
• Turn on the components first, if necessary.  
• Check that the component has infrared remote capability. For  
example, if your component did not come with a Remote  
commander, it probably is not capable of being controlled by a  
Remote Commander.

correct order.  
• Try changing the orientation of the Remote Commander. If that  
does not help, try placing the components as close to each other  
as possible.  
• Check the status of the components and make sure that you  
have set the components properly to receive commands.  
• The component codes are changed or new signals have been  
learned for a button that has been programmed with a series of  
commands. In this case, the new signals are transmitted when  
the series of commands is executed.  
Even if I operate an XPRESS  
function, the TV does not turn  
on, or it turns off.  
• The Remote Commander memorizes the status of the  
component’s input select and power on/off. However, if you  
turn on/off the component with its own remote control or  
operate the component directly, it will not recognize the current  
component status. In this case, press the SYNC-UP button to  
synchronize with the status of the current component and the  
Remote Commander.  
• If the TV turns off by its own Sleep function, the Remote  
Commander does not recognize its status. Turn off the TV with  
the Remote Commander.  
Even if I operate an XPRESS  
function, the source component  
does not turn on, or it turns off.  
• The Remote Commander memorizes the status of the  
component’s input select and power on/off. However, if you  
turn on/off the component with its own remote control or  
operate the component directly, it will not recognize the current  
component status. In this case, press SYNC-UP button to  
synchronize the status of the current component and the Remote  
Commander.  
• If the TV turns off by its own Sleep function, the Remote  
Commander does not recognize its status. Turn off the TV with  
the Remote Commander.  
Even if I operate an XPRESS  
function, the input selector of  
the TV or RCVR (Receiver/  
Amplifier) does not achieve the  
correct status.  
• The Remote Commander memorizes the status of the  
component’s input select and power on/off. However, if you

• If the TV turns off by its own Sleep function, the Remote  
Commander does not recognize its status. Turn off the TV with  
the Remote Commander.  
The Remote Commander does  
not synchronize with the  
current status of components  
even though I perform the  
SYNC-UP operation.  
• Aim the Remote Commander at the components until Start

• Start macro is not executed properly if the interval (delay time)  
between the component’s power-on signal and input switch  
signal is short. Set the interval (delay time) longer.

Trouble with setting mode  
Solution  
Problem  
• When learning, place your component’s remote control and  
Remote Commander (RM-AX1400) of about 1-3 inches (3-8 cm)  
apart.  
The Remote Commander fails  
to learn remote control signals.  
• Check the remaining battery power of both remote units. If low,  
replace with new ones.  
• Avoid learning in places under direct sunlight or strong  
fluorescent light.  
• When you program signals of an interactive signal exchange  
system remote control unit (supplied with some of Sony’s  
receivers and 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 rooms, etc.).  
• Perform the Learning procedure after turning off any nearby  
apparatus, such as an air-conditioner or infrared headphones.  
• The Remote Commander may fail to learn remote control signals  
near plasma TVs. Avoid learning near plasma TVs or turn off  
the plasma TV when learning.  
• The Remote Commander may fail to learn remote control signals  
under strong fluorescent light.  
• The Remote Commander may fail to learn remote control signals  
if the component generates interference. In this case, move away  
from the component when programming the Remote  
Commander.  
If a noise is included in the learned signals, you may not operate a  
component. In this case, refer to “The Remote Commander fails to  
learn remote control signals” above.  
I cannot operate a component  
even after I programmed  
remote control signals with the  
“learning” function.  
If you do not operate for more than 60 seconds during setting  
mode, the Remote Commander automatically exits the setting  
mode and turns off. Perform the next operation step within 60  
seconds.  
The setting mode  
unintentionally quits while  
setting up.  
Others  
Solution  
Problem  
When you have a multi-purpose component (such as a DVD/VCR  
combo), select only one of either component type. For example, in  
the case of a DVD/VCR combo, select “DVD” or ”VCR.” If you  
select both components, the XPRESS function will not work  
properly.  
I want to use an XPRESS  
function for multi-purpose  
components (VCR+DVD,  
TV+VCR, DVD+RCVR (receiver),  
etc.).  
You can set multiple XPRESS functions for one component. For  
example, when you watch a DVD, you can set the sound to output  
from the TV. Or, when you listen to a CD, you can set the sound to  
output from the RCVR (Receiver/Amplifier).  
I want to set a DVD player for  
both XPRESS-DVD and  
XPRESS-CD.  
• Make sure to install the USB driver properly (page 10).  
• If the connection goes thorough a HUB, some PCs do not recognize  
it. In this case, connect it directly to the USB port of your PC.  
• If “E” is shown in the display, replace the batteries with new  
ones and reconnect the Remote Commander to your PC. If your  
PC still cannot recognize the USB connection, restart your PC.  
My PC cannot recognize the  
USB connection.
