Features
The RM-AX4000 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.
Control up to 16 components
With the Remote Commander, you can control up
to 16 components, including your TV, VCR, DVD,
DVR, CD, RCVR, etc.
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.
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.
XPRESS functions for executing a series of
actions to operate several AV components
by pressing just one key.
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
amplifier/receiver, you can press just one key to
turn on/off each component, and select the correct
inputs. Available keys for the XPRESS function
appear on the LCD display.
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.
Air-Slide executes an XPRESS function by
“sliding your finger” across the LCD
display
You can also perform an XPRESS function by
sliding your finger in a set pattern across the
Remote Commander’s LCD Display. This function
is called an “Air-Slide”, and 6 different patterns are
available.
The AX Remote Editor software allows you to
make advanced settings for the Remote
Commander.
Clock display and Timer function
Up to 8 Timer macros can be programmed to
automatically turn on/off components and other
controls (such as recording, stopping, etc.).
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).
System Control function executes a series
of actions (a macro) by pressing one
button/key
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.
KeyMacro function allows you to select a
channel with a single key

numbers 1, 2, and 3, to select channel 123 just by
pressing one key.
The AX Remote Editor software allows you to
make advanced settings for the Remote
Commander.

Installing the batteries
Slide and open the battery compartment lid and
insert four size AA (R6) alkaline batteries (not
supplied). Be sure to match the + and – of the
batteries with the + and – of the battery
compartment.
When to replace the batteries
When replacing the batteries, do it
quickly. Otherwise, the memory settings
for the clock will be erased. The clock
does not work while replacing the
batteries.
Alkaline batteries will last up to 5 months (a Sony
TV turned On/Off up to approx. 300 times per
day). If the Remote Commander does not operate
properly, the batteries are getting weak and E
appears on the LCD display. When the LCD
display dims or the backlight for the touch keys
grows dim, the batteries are getting weak, and
need to be replaced.
Notes on replacing the batteries
Do not attempt to recharge dry batteries.
•Do not carry dry batteries together with coins or
other metallic objects. This can generate heat if
the positive and negative terminals of the
batteries accidentally come into contact with
metallic objects.
When you are not going to use the unit for a long
time, remove the batteries to avoid damage from
battery leakage and corrosion.
Do not use different types of batteries at the same
time.
•When you replace the batteries, replace them
both with new ones.
