I accidentally changed the command code from dvd3 to dvd1 and now my remote doesn't work, and I don't know how to access the systems menu to change it back.

Hi,
Hold down Enter button on remote and while holding Enter press and hold 1 (numeric) on remote for 3 or 4 seconds, now remote is set on dvd1 mode and dvd recorder will accept its commands.
Thanks.

The following should give you access to a service menu containing controls for macro-vision and region coding. You can change the regional settings from there.



1. Set your player to Standby
2. Press Title, Clear and Power

See the manual on page 22.
The solution is to reset your remote code to DVD1 (default is DVD3).

Press the ENTER button and NUMBER ONE button simultaneously for at least three seconds. Viola, control returns.

Press & hold the Enter button. Then press & hold the number 1 for a few seconds. Release both. Now, press the System Menu button. You should have access to the system menu.

Indeed, I did the same thing.... I did find the answer in the manual!
Here's a copy of it (pg 23):

Set the command mode for the remote so it matches
the command mode for the recorder you set above.
1 Hold down ENTER
2 While holding down ENTER, enter the
command mode code number using the
number buttons.
Command Mode Code number
DVD1 number button 1
DVD2 number button 2
DVD3 number button 3
3 Hold down both the number buttons and
ENTER at the same time for more than 3
seconds.
4 Let up, press RETURN, all done!

According to Sony, if you turn the power on and hold the Enter key and the #1 key down together for at least 3 seconds, everything will default back to factory settings.

It´s is easy to solve. Your DVD was seted to DVD1. Push enter button plus 1 no remote control.
Now you are able to commnad your DVD and go to System Menu and change to DVD3 again.
After it, don´t forget to backup your remoto control to DVD3. Push enter button plus 3

Read page 23 in the manual.
Press "enter" & the #1 keys together for 5 seconds.
Then press stop.

Then press "enter" & the #3 keys together for 5 seconds.

Slide the bottom part of the remote control down. Switch the bottom right button to DVD 1. There might be a white sticker that covers it so remove the sticker first. Then hold down the "Enter" button and the "1" button down at the same time for a few seconds. That should make the remote work again.
