Hookup/Setup

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.

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

No cable box or incompatible cable box Hookup 2 Pages 15 to 18

with only a few scrambled channels

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.

Step 3

Audio/video (A/V) hookup

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.

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.
