In it’s default condition this remote control will operate the basic functions of this Sony TV, Sony DVDs and 
most Sony VCRs. To control VCRs and DVDs of other manufacturers (and some Sony VCR models), the 
remote control needs to be configured.

• Before you start, look up the 3 digit code for your brand of DVD or VCR from the list below. 

On those brands that have more than one code, enter the first code number.

• A small label is added inside the battery door to allow you to record your brand codes.

Press the Media Selector button until the required green light (VCR or 

DVD) is lit (see fig. 1).

Before the green light goes out, press and hold the yellow button for 

approximately 6 seconds until the green light (VCR or DVD) starts 
flashing (see fig. 2.).

 

While the VCR and DVD lights are flashing, enter all three digits of the 

code for your brand of VCR or DVD (see the list below) using the number 
buttons on the remote control (see fig. 3). 

 If your selected code is entered correctly, the three green lights will 

be lit momentarily. Otherwise repeat all the above steps.

Turn on your VCR or DVD and check that the main functions work.

•  If your device is not working or some of the functions do not 

work please check that you entered the correct code set or try 
the next code listed against the brand. 

• Not all brands are covered and not all models of every brand may be covered.

Always remember to press Media Selector

 button until the green light iluminates according to 

the equipment you want to operate with this remote control: VCR, TV or DVD.

When the lamp becomes dark or the picture colour is not normal or the lamp indicator 

 on the TV set flashes, 

replace with a new lamp.

• Only use the lamp XL-2100E for replacement. If you use another lamp, it may cause damage to the TV set.
• Do not remove the lamp except when replacing it.  
• Before replacing the lamp, turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.
• Replace the lamp only after it becomes cool.  The front glass of the lamp remains at  least 100 °C (212 °F) even 

after the power has been turned off for 30 minutes.

• Do not place the old lamp in proximity to children or flammable material.
• Do not get the old lamp wet, or insert objects inside the lamp.  It may cause the lamp to explode.
• Do not place the old lamp near easily flammable objects, as this may cause fire. Also, do not put your hand inside 

the lamp compartment, as you may be burned.

• Do not touch or stain the front glass of the new lamp or the glass of the lamp compartment.  If the glass become 

dirty, the picture quality may deteriorate or the lamp life may shorten.

• Attach the lamp cover firmly.  If it is not firmly attached, the power will not turn on.
• When the lamp burns out, a noise is audible.  This does not indicate damage to the TV set. 
• Consult your nearest Sony service center to obtain a new lamp.
• Always remember to dispose of used lamps in an evironmentally friendly way.

 

Turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.
•  If you start changing the lamp without disconnecting the power cord, the standby indicator 

 

 on the TV set flashes. 

Disconnect the power cord to continue changing the lamp.

•  Replace the lamp 30 minutes or more after the power is turned off to allow it to cool.
