You can only use this function if your TV is made by Sony (Trinitron TV).
Connections necessary to use this function
Connect the unit and TV with the audio/video cable (see “Audio/video
(A/V) hookup” on page 7.) Be sure to connect the audio/video cable to the
VIDEO IN 1 jacks on the TV if the TV has two or more inputs. The TV must
be placed where it will respond to the remote commander while you are
pointing it at the unit.
Operation
Make sure that the TV’s power is in standby mode.
Press TRINITRON TV SYNCHRO PLAY and hold the remote commander in
place for about two seconds.
The unit and TV turn on, and the TV is set to the video channel. If there is a
tape in the unit, playback starts automatically.
Notes
• If the Trinitron TV Synchro Play function does not work properly:
- Wait a few moments, and press the button again.
- Replace both of the batteries in the remote commander with new ones, and press
the button again.
Note that this function may not operate some Sony TVs because of the remote
commander’s signal limitations.
• Do not press TRINITRON TV SYNCHRO PLAY while playing back a video tape. If
you do so, the TV’s input source will momentarily switch to the TV’s tuner.
