Precautions
Safety
• Operate the unit only on 120 V AC, 60 Hz.
• If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the
unit and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
• This unit is not disconnected from the AC
power source (mains) as long as it is
connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit
itself has been turned off.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if you
do not intend to use it for an extended
period of time. To disconnect the cord, pull
it out by the plug, never by the cord.
• One blade of the plug is wider than the
other for the purpose of safety and will fit
into the power outlet only one way. If you
are unable to insert the plug fully into the
outlet, contact your Sony dealer.
Installing
• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent
internal heat buildup.
• Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs,
blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains,
draperies) that may block the ventilation
slots.
• Do not install the unit near heat sources
such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place
subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust,
mechanical vibration or shock.
• Do not install the unit in an inclined
position. It is designed to be operated in a
horizontal position only.
• Keep the unit and cassettes away from
equipment with strong magnets, such as
microwave ovens or large loudspeakers.
• Do not place heavy objects on the unit.
• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to
a warm location, moisture may condense
inside the VCR and cause damage to the
video head and tape. When you first install
the unit, or when you move it from a cold to
a warm location, wait for about three hours
before operating the unit.

change. Set the appropriate code number every time you replace the batteries.
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 you have
Use
Refer to
TV that has audio/video inputs

follow 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 of the
supplied operating instructions.
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 you 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.
* DIRECTV is a trademark of DIRECTV, Inc., a unit of Hughes Electronics Corporation.
Audio/video (A/V) hookup
Pages 9 and 10
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. In addition,
for a true “home theater” experience, you should connect the audio outputs
of your VCR or TV to your stereo system. If your TV doesn’t have A/V
inputs, see the following pages for antenna or cable hookups.
If your TV has the S-Link* (A/V bus control) function, hook up your VCR
using the connection shown on page 10. Your TV will automatically switch
to the A/V inputs for your VCR when you play back or operate menu on the
VCR.
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 9 and
10. If you want to record off-air or off your cable TV system, complete these
connections first, and then go to the following pages for antenna or cable
hookups.

Caution
Connections between the 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 VCR to an antenna or make simultaneous (parallel) antenna
and 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 82040 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.
