Inserting the batteries

Insert two R6 (size AA) batteries by

clicks into position.

Using the remote commander

You can use this remote commander to
operate the VCR and a Sony TV. To operate
this VCR, point at the remote sensor on the
VCR. To operate the TV, point at the remote
sensor on the TV. Buttons in the shaded

jacks, we recommend you connect the VCR
to your TV using an audio/video cable to
get a better picture and sound.

Additional connections

To a TV that has audio/video input jacks

This additional connection improves picture
and sound quality. Connect the TV as
shown below.

If you want to use the Trinitron TV Synchro
Play function, this connection is necessary.
(If your TV has two or more inputs, connect
the audio/video cable to the VIDEO IN 1
jacks.)

Press ?/1 ON/STANDBY to turn on
the VCR.

Turn on your TV and select a
programme position for the video
picture.
This channel will now be referred to as
the video channel.

Some TV has the programme position,
such as 0, that is reserved for a VCR. In
this case, select that programme
position for the video picture. Refer to
the instruction manual of your TV for
details.

Step 4

Tuning your TV to
the VCR

If you have connected your VCR to the TV
using the audio/video cable, skip this step.

3

Tune the TV until the video picture
below is clearly displayed on the TV
screen.

Refer to your TV manual for tuning
instructions.

You have now tuned your TV to the
VCR. From now on, whenever you
want to play a tape, set the TV to the
video channel.

To obtain a clear playback picture

If the video picture does not appear clearly
in step 3 above, turn the RF CHANNEL
screw on the rear panel of the VCR with a
screwdriver to a position where the TV
clearly displays the playback picture.

To select the TV system

For your TV to receive the correct signal
from your VCR you must set the TV
SYSTEM switch on the rear panel of the
VCR to either G (for system B/G) or K (for
system D/K). If this switch is set to the
wrong position, the sound will be distorted.
