If you connect the AC power cord before the connections are completed, you may not be able to use the Plug and Play function.• Be sure you make connections firmly. Loose connections may cause picture distortion.• If your TV does not match any of the examples provided, see your nearest Sony dealer or qualified technician.Selecting the best hookup optionThere are many ways in which your DVD-VCR can be hooked up. To hook up your DVD-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 DVD-VCR.If your TV has audio/video inputs, refer to page 13 for audio/video (A/V) hookup. Then follow one of the hookups below. If your TV does not have A/V inputs, go directly to one of the hookups below. After you have completed the connections, follow the instructions for setup.After you have completed the setup, you are ready to use your DVD-VCR. Procedures differ depending on the hookup you used.CautionConnections between the DVD-VCR’s VHF/UHF connector and the antenna terminals of the TV receiver should be made only as shown in the following instructions. Failure to do so may result in operation that violates the regulations of the Federal Communications Commission regarding the use and operation of RF devices. Never connect the output of the DVD-VCR to an antenna or make simultaneous (parallel) antenna and DVD-VCR connections at the antenna terminals of your receiver.Note to CATV system installer (in USA)This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820- 40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.If you have Use Refer toAntenna only, no cable TV Hookup 1 (Plug and Play) Pages 14 and 15No cable box or cable box with only a few scrambled channelsHookup 2 (Plug and Play) Pages 16 and 17Cable box with many scrambled channelsHookup 3 Page 18010COV.book Page 12 Thursday, April 24, 2003 12:37 PM$

Note that “Advanced Hookups” (page 55) explains additional hookup methods that will optimize the picture and sound for a true “hometheater” experience.If you are not planning to use your DVD-VCR to record programs, you only need to make the connections shown on this page. 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.A Use this hookup if your TV has stereo jacksBUse this hookup if your TV does not have stereo jacksNotes• To play a tape/disc in stereo, you must use the A/V connection.• If you do not have a stereo receiver, connect the white LINE OUT/AUDIO L jack to the AUDIO IN jack on your TV.Audio/video cord (supplied)TVAudio cord (not supplied)Stereo receiverDVD-VCRVideo cord (not supplied)TVAudio cord (not supplied)Stereo receiverDVD-VCRcontinued010COV.book Page 13 Thursday, April 24, 2003 12:37 PM$

Then, just enter the PlusCode number of the program you want and the VCR is automatically programed to record that show. It’s that simple.How to set up your VCRSetting up your VCR involves coordinating the TV channel number (the number you turn to on your TV or VCR to watch a program) with the guide channel (the number that is assigned to that channel in your program guide).To find the guide channel numbers, look at the “Channel Line-up Chart” in the program guide for your area that features VCR PlusCode numbers. It usually looks like the example to the right.To set the guide channels, use the Channel Line-up Chart to check that the guide channel numbers match the TV channel your VCR receives. For example, if HBO is listed in the Channel Line-up Chart as channel 33, and your VCR receives HBO on channel 5, you need to coordinate these numbers using the following procedure. If the guide and TV channel numbers are the same, you can skip this procedure.5:306:30PlusCode142CNN2345SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY(1hr. 15min.) 73457DRAMAWS 9974SPORTMOVIE Musical (2hrs.) 33044Golf (1hr. 25min.) 42060Comedy (2hrs.) 17390SAMPLECABLE TVAMCBRVCNNCSPDISDSCESNFAMHBOLIFMAXMTVNIKSCSCASHOTBSTMCTNNTNTUSAVCR Plus+GUIDE CH355442285337344733464548385970414358495244American Movie ClassicsBravo (program grid only)Cable News NetworkC-SPANThe Disney ChannelThe Discovery ChannelESPNThe Family ChannelHome Box OfficeLifetimeCinemaxMusic TelevisionNickelodeonSports ChannelSports Channel AmericaShowtimeTBS SuperStationThe Movie ChannelThe Nashville NetworkTurner Network TelevisionUSA NetworkCABLECH16172021222534355272931383945174449505130Example of “PlusCode”Example of “Channel Line-up Chart”010GET.fm Page 28 Tuesday, May 6, 2003 9:50 AM$
