Unpacking

Check that you have received the following items with the VCR:

• Remote commander

• 75-ohm coaxial cable with F-type connectors

• Size AA (R6) batteries

• Audio/video cable (3-phono to 3-phono) 

(SLV-LX700S and SLV-LX600S only)

• Plug adaptor (SLV-LX700S CS only)

If the plug supplied with your VCR does not fit 
your power outlet, attach the supplied adaptor 
to the plug.

The instructions in this manual are for the 4 models: SLV-LX700S MX/CS, SLV-LX600S 
MX and SLV-LX500 MX.  Check your model name by looking at the rear panel of your 
VCR.  
SLV-LX700S MX is the model used for illustration purposes.  Any difference in operation 
is clearly indicated in the text, for example, “SLV-LX700S MX only.”

Setting up the remote commander

Notes
• 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.

Insert two size AA (R6) batteries 
by matching the + and – on the 
batteries to the diagram inside the 
battery compartment.

Insert the negative (–) end first, 
then push in and down until the 
positive (+) end clicks into 
position.

You can use this remote 
commander to operate this VCR 
and a Sony TV.  Buttons on the 
remote commander marked with a 
dot (•) can be used to operate your 
Sony TV.

 

 

If the TV does not have the 

 

symbol near the remote sensor, this 
remote commander will not 
operate the TV.

Setting up the remote commander

The remote commander is preprogramed 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 (volumen) +/–, CH (canal) +/–, 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.

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.

Set •TV / VIDEO at the top of the remote commander to •TV.

Hold down 

?/1, and enter your TV’s code number using the number buttons.  

Then release 

?/1.

Setting up the remote commander

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 programed 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 (monitor de audio) 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.
