Notes about discs • To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the surface. • Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight as the temperature may rise considerably inside the car. • After playing, store the disc in its case. • Clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.
Getting Started Step 1 : Unpacking • Size AA (R6) batteries Getting Started Check that you have received the following items with the DVD-VCR: • Remote commander • 75-ohm coaxial cable with F-type connectors • Audio/video cord (pinplug ×3 y pinplug ×3) Note • The supplied remote commander is for the exclusive use of this DVD-VCR.
Step 2 : Setting up the remote commander Inserting the batteries Insert two size AA (R6) 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 DVDVCR and a Sony TV. Buttons on the remote commander marked with an orange dot (•) can be used to operate your Sony TV.
Controlling other TVs with the remote commander The remote commander is preprogrammed to control non-Sony TVs. If your TV is listed in the following table, set the appropriate manufacturer’s code number. Now you can use the ?/1, VOL +/–, CH +/–, MUTING*, TV/VIDEO and ENTER* buttons to control your TV. You can also use the buttons marked with a dot (•) to control a Sony TV. To control the DVD-VCR, reset TV / DVD·VIDEO to DVD·VIDEO.
Notes • If you enter a new code number, the code number previously entered will be erased. • If the TV uses a different remote control system from the one programmed to work with the DVD-VCR, you cannot control your TV with the remote commander. • When you replace the batteries of the remote commander, the code number may change. Set the appropriate code number every time you replace the batteries.
Step 3 : Basic hookups Getting Started Before you get started • Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord of each component before connecting. • Turn off the power to all equipment. • Do not connect the AC power cords until all of the connections are completed.

Loose connections may cause picture distortion.
Audio/video (A/V) hookup If your TV has audio/video (A/V) input jacks, you will get better picture and sound if you hook up your DVD-VCR using these connections. If your TV does not have A/V inputs, see the following pages for antenna or cable hookups.
