The laser diode in the optical pick up may suffer electrostatic
breakdown because of potential static electricity from clothing and
your body.

The following method is recommended.
(1) Place a conductive sheet on the work bench (The black sheet used

for wrapping repair parts.)

(2) Place the set on the conductive sheet so that the chassis is grounded

to the sheet.

(3) Place your hands on the conductive sheet(This gives them the same

ground as the sheet.)

(4) Remove the optical pick up block

(5) Perform work on top of the conductive sheet. Be careful not to let

your clothes or any other static sources to touch the unit.

◆ Be sure to put on a wrist strap grounded to the sheet.
◆ Be sure to lay a conductive sheet made of copper etc. Which is

grounded to the table.

(6) Short the short terminal on the PCB, which is inside the Pick-Up

ASS’Y, before replacing the Pick-Up. (The short terminal is shorted
when the Pick-Up Ass’y is being lifted or moved.)

(7) After replacing the Pick-up, open the short terminal on the PCB.

Setting up the remote commander

Notes
• With normal use, the batteries should last about three to six months.
• If  you do not use the remote commander for an extended period of time, remove the batteries 

to avoid possible damage from battery leakage.

• Do not use a new battery with an old one.
• Do not use different types of batteries.
• Do not leave the remote commander in an extremely hot or humid place.
• Do not drop any foreign object into the remote casing, particularly when replacing the batteries.
• Do not expose the remote sensor to direct light from the sun or lighting apparatus.  Doing so 

may cause a malfunction.

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.

You can use this remote 
commander to operate this DVD-
VCR and a Sony TV.  Buttons on 
the remote commander marked 
with a dot (•) can be used to 
operate your Sony TV. 

If the TV does not have the 

 

symbol near the remote sensor, this 
remote commander will not 
operate the TV.

Setting up 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 +/–, PROG +/–, MUTING*, TV/VIDEO, 0-9 and 

-/--* 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.

* for  Sony TV only

If more than one code number is listed, try entering them one at a time until you find 
the one that works with your TV.

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.

Set TV / DVD·VIDEO at the top of the remote commander to TV.

Hold down 

?/1, and enter your TV’s code number using the number buttons.  

Then release 

?/1.

Connecting the DVD-VCR

Note that “Advanced Hookups” (page 52) explains additional hookup methods that 
will optimize the picture and sound for a true “hometheatre” experience.

If your TV has a Scart (EURO-AV) connector, see page 12.

Note
• When you connect the DVD-VCR and your TV only with an aerial cable, you have to tune 

your TV to the DVD-VCR (see page 14).

Disconnect the aerial cable from your TV 
and connect it to 

 on the rear panel of the 

DVD-VCR.

Connect  

of the DVD-VCR and the 

aerial input of your TV using the supplied 
aerial cable.

Connect the mains lead to the mains.

Connect LINE-1 (EURO AV) on the 
DVD-VCR and the Scart (EURO-AV) 
connector on the TV with the optional 
Scart cable.

This connection improves picture and 
sound quality.

Connect the mains lead to the mains.

Connecting the DVD-VCR

Using the Line Through 
function, you can watch 
programmes from a satellite or 
digital tuner connected to this 
DVD-VCR on the TV even 
when the DVD-VCR is turned 
off.  When you turn on the 
satellite or digital tuner, this 
DVD-VCR automatically sends 
the signal from the satellite or 
digital tuner to the TV without 
turning itself on.

Notes
• This function may not work with some types of satellite or digital tuners.
• When the DVD-VCR is turned off, set the TV to the video channel.
• The  Line Through function will not operate properly if “Power Save” in “OPTION” menu is 

set to “On.”  Set “Power Save” to “Off” to ensure proper operation.

Connect the satellite or digital tuner to the LINE-3 connector as shown above.

Turn off the DVD-VCR.

To watch a programme, turn on the satellite or digital tuner and the TV.

Setting up the DVD-VCR with the Auto Set Up function

Before using the DVD-VCR for the first 
time, set up the DVD-VCR using the Auto 
Set Up function.  With this function, you can 
set TV channels, guide channels for the 
VIDEO Plus+ system, and DVD-VCR clock 
automatically. 

• To control the DVD-VCR, set TV / 

DVD·VIDEO to DVD·VIDEO on the 
remote (page 9).

Turn on your TV and set it to the video channel.

If your TV does not have a Scart (EURO-AV) connector, tune the TV to 
channel 21 (the initial RF channel for this DVD-VCR).  Refer to your TV 
manual for TV tuning instructions.  If the picture does not appear clearly, 
see “To change the RF channel” on page 15.

Connect the mains lead to the mains.

The DVD-VCR automatically turns on and the 
DVD-VCR starts searching for all of the 
receivable channels and presets them (in the 
appropriate order for your local area).

If you want to change the order of the channels 
or disable unwanted programme positions, see 
“Changing/disabling programme positions” on 
page 21.

After the search is complete, the current time appears for any stations that 
transmit a time signal.  If the time does not appear, set the clock manually.  
See “Setting the clock” on page 17.
