Notes
• The TV/VIDEO button selects the TV’s input source (either aerial in or line in). The

button does not control this VCR.

• With normal use, the batteries should last about three to six months.
• If you do not use the remote commander for an extended period of time, remove

the batteries to avoid possible damage from battery leakage.

• Do not use a new battery with an old one.
• Do not use different types of batteries.

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

Getting Started

Notes
• 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.

• You may not be able to use some buttons to control non-Sony TVs due to the remote

commander’s signal limitations.

• If you enter a new code number, the code number previously entered will be erased.
• When you replace the batteries of the remote commander, the code number may

automatically reset to 01 (Sony). If your TV is not a Sony, it is recommended to
manually set the appropriate code number every time you replace the batteries.

• If you set your TV’s code number correctly while the TV is turned on, the TV turns

off automatically.

Disconnect the aerial cable from your TV
and connect it to AERIAL IN on the rear
panel of the VCR.

Connect AERIAL OUT of the VCR and
the aerial input of your TV using the
supplied aerial cable.
