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.

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 unit’s VCR. Procedures differ
depending on the hookup you used. For an overview, refer to “Quick reference to using the
VCR” on the back cover.
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.

see your nearest Sony dealer or qualified technician.
