Chapter 4 Operation
4-4. Adding Dialog Boxes for the New Secondary Station Devices

If the system has new Sony devices or specialiy ordered devices as secondary stations connected via the S-BUS and cannot recognize them, you can add the necessary dialog boxes for the devices. The BZR-2000 V1.40 and later models have the software to add the dialog boxes.
To add dialog boxes for the devices, they must have the internal data structure as the existing devices. Consult your Sony personnel to obtain details on each device before starting procedure below.

"Delete" button
This deletes the added model that has been registered.
Select an added model from the list at the center of the window, and click the "Delete" button.
Note: You cannot delete the models selected with the "Display All" check box checked.

"From Device/To Device Function" check box
