The remote control supplied with your TV operates not only Sony VCRs and DVD players, but also
those made by other manufacturers. The following instructions guide you through the set up
procedure.

Find the 3 digit code for your brand from the list below. 

Press the 

b MODE B Selector button on the remote control until either the green VCR light

or the green DVD light illuminates.

With the required green light illuminated, press and hold down the YELLOW button for
approximately 6 seconds, until this light starts to flash.

Use the numbered buttons to enter the 3 digit code for your VCR or DVD. Once a correct
number has been entered, all the green VCR, TV and DVD lights illuminate together
momentarily.

Turn on your VCR or DVD and check that the remote control operates the main functions.
If not, repeat steps 2 - 4 and enter the next 3 digit code allocated to your brand of VCR or
DVD.

When you wish to use the remote control to operate the TV again, press the 

b MODE B

Selector button until the TV green light illuminates. Don’t forget to select VCR or DVD
using the 

b MODE B Selector button every time you wish to operate that equipment with

this remote control. 

Note: 

The brand codes you set may be lost if weak batteries are not replaced immediately. Should
this happen, use the above procedure to re-enter the code. A small label has been attached
to the inside of the battery cover for you to make a note of your brand codes. Not all brands
and models of VCRs and DVDs are covered in this list, however, Sony will endeavour to
update the software periodically. Please refer to the code table provided with your remote
control.
