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), please complete the following steps:

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.

Press the Media Selector button on the remote control repeatedly until the 
required green light (VCR or DVD) is lit.

   If Media Selector is on TV position, code numbers will not be stored.

Before the green light goes out, press and hold the yellow button for 
approximately 6 seconds until the green light starts flashing.

Whilst the green light is flashing, enter all three digits of the code for your 
brand of VCR or DVD using the number buttons on the remote control. 

 If your selected code is entered correctly, all three green lights will be lit   

  momentarily.

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. 

• Your brand codes may be lost if weak batteries are not replaced within 

a few minutes. To reset your brand of DVD or VCR please repeat the 
above steps. A small label is added inside the battery door to allow you 
to record your brand codes.

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

covered.
