WARNING

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the

unit to rain or moisture.

To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet.

Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place objects

filled with liquids, such as vases, on the apparatus.

Mains lead must only be changed at a qualified

service shop.

Precautions

Safety

• This unit operates on 220 – 240 V AC, 50 Hz.

Check that the unit’s operating voltage is

identical with your local power supply.

• If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit

and have it checked by qualified personnel before

operating it any further.

• The unit is not disconnected from the mains as

long as it is connected to the mains, 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.

Installing

• Do not install this equipment in a confined space

such as a book or similar unit.

• 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.

Unpacking

Step 1 : Unpacking

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

• Remote commander • Aerial cable

• R6 (size AA) batteries • PERITEL cable

Note

• The supplied remote commander is for the exclusive use of this VCR.

How to use this manual

The instructions in this manual are for the 4 models: SLV-SE840B, SE740B,

SE640B and SE240B. Check your model name by looking at the rear panel of

your VCR.

SLV-SE840B is the model used for illustration purposes. Any difference in

operation is clearly indicated in the text, for example, “SLV-SE840B only.”

This manual mainly explains operations using the remote, but the same operations

can also be performed using the buttons on the VCR having the same or similar

names.

12 Setting up the remote commander

Step 2 : Setting up the remote commander

Inserting the batteries

Insert two R6 (size AA) 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.

Using the remote

commander

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.

Recording TV programmes

Basic Operations

To save a recording

To prevent accidental erasure, break off the

adhesive tape.

Tips

• To select a programme position, you can use the programme number buttons on the

remote commander. For two-digit numbers, press -/-- (ten’s digit) followed by the

programme number buttons.

Notes

• The AFFICH information does not appear during still (pause) mode or slow-

motion playback.

• If a tape has portions recorded in both PAL (SECAM, MESECAM) and NTSC

systems, the time counter reading will not be correct. This discrepancy is due to

the difference between the counting cycles of the two video systems.

• You cannot watch a Canal Plus programme while recording another Canal Plus

programme.

• When you insert a non-standard commercially available tape, the remaining time

may not be correct.

• The remaining time is intended for rough measurement only.

• About 30 seconds after the tape begins playback, the tape remaining time will be

displayed.
