Setting up the remote commander

Controlling other TVs with the remote commander
(SLV-LX70S and LX60S only)

The remote commander is preprogrammed to control non-Sony TVs. If your TV is
listed in the following table, set the appropriate manufacturer’s code number.

Now you can use the

?/1, VOL +/–, CH +/–, and TV/VIDEO buttons to control your

TV. You can also use the buttons marked with a dot (•) to control a Sony TV. To
control the VCR, reset •TV / VIDEO to VIDEO.

Code numbers of controllable TVs

If more than one code number is listed, try entering them one at a time until you find
the one that works with your TV.

Notes
• If you enter a new code number, the code number previously entered will be erased.
• If the TV uses a different remote control system from the one programmed to work with the

VCR, you cannot control your TV with the remote commander.

• When you replace the batteries of the remote commander, the code number may change. Set

the appropriate code number every time you replace the batteries.

• When you press the AUDIO MONITOR button, your TV’s menu may appear on the TV

screen. To exit the TV menu, press the MENU button on the TV remote commander or wait
until the menu disappears automatically.

Hookups

Step 3 : Hookups

Selecting the best hookup option

There are many ways in which your VCR can be hooked up. To hook up your VCR
so that it works best for you, first scan through the table below. Then use the
accompanying diagrams and procedures on the following pages to set up your VCR.

If your TV has audio/video inputs, refer to pages 8 and 9 for audio/video (A/V)
hookup. Then follow one of the hookups below. If your TV doesn’t have A/V inputs,
go directly to one of the hookups below.

After you’ve completed the connections, follow the instructions for setup. During
setup, if you need more details on the procedure described, page numbers are
provided where you can find complete, step-by-step instructions.

After you’ve completed the setup, you’re ready to use your VCR. Procedures differ
depending on the hookup you used. For an overview, refer to “Quick reference to
using the VCR” on the back cover.

Before you get started

• Turn off the power to all equipment.
• Do not connect the AC power cords until all of the connections are completed.
• Be sure to make connections firmly. Loose connections may cause picture

distortion.

• If your TV doesn’t match any of the examples provided, see your nearest Sony

dealer or qualified technician.

Hookups

Audio/video (A/V) hookup

If your TV has audio/video (A/V) input jacks, you will get a better picture and sound
if you hook up your VCR using these connections. If your TV doesn’t have A/V
inputs, see the following pages for antenna or cable hookups.

If you’re not planning to use your VCR to record programs, you’re finished setting up
the VCR after you’ve made the connections shown on pages 8 and 9. If you want to
record regular or cable TV programs, complete these connections first, and then go to
the following pages for antenna or cable hookups.

For SLV-LX70S and LX60S

For a true “home theater” experience, you should connect the audio outputs of your
VCR or TV to your stereo system.

A Use this hookup if your TV has stereo jacks

B Use this hookup if your TV doesn’t have stereo jacks

Notes
• If you don’t have a stereo receiver, connect the white LINE OUT/AUDIO L jack to the

AUDIO IN jack on your TV.

• To play a tape in stereo, you must use the A/V connection.
• If you use the Trinitron TV Synchro Play function (see page 34), the A/V connection is

necessary. (If your TV has two or more inputs, connect the audio/video cable to the VIDEO
IN 1 jacks.)
