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.

• 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.

• 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

• 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 one hour before

operating the unit.

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.

Hookup 4

Hookup 5

Hookup 6

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.

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.

After you’ve connected your TV and completed antenna or cable hookup,

use the following procedure to set up the VCR.

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 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.
