Disabling unwanted programme positions
After presetting channels, you can disable unused programme positions. The
disabled positions will be skipped later when you press the PROG +/–
buttons.
1
In step 5 on page 16, press programme number button “0” twice to
display the number “0” beside CHANNEL SET.
2
Press OK.
Resetting the TV system (only for areas where
various TV systems coexist)
If the sound is distorted or noisy, or the colour TV programme becomes
black and white, etc., that channel may not be matched to the proper TV
system. In this case, try the following steps.
1
Press PROG +/– or programme number buttons to select the
programme position that has the channel with above described
conditions.
2
Press MENU, then select TUNER PRESET and press OK.
3
Select SYSTEM and select the TV system on which you can obtain the
best sound and picture.
4
Repeat steps 2 and 3 for other positions you want to reset the TV
system to.
5
Press OK.

If the picture is not clear
Normally, the Auto Fine Tuning (AFT) function automatically tunes in
channels clearly. If, however, the picture is not clear, you may also use the
manual tuning function.
1
Press PROG +/– to select the programme number for which you cannot
obtain a clear picture.
2
Press MENU, then select TUNER PRESET and press OK.
3
Select FINE TUNING.
The fine tuning meter appears.
4
Press 
</, to get a clearer picture, then press OK.
Note that the AFT (Auto Fine Tuning) setting switches to OFF.
Notes
• The menu disappears automatically if you do not proceed for more than a few
minutes.
• The channel numbers in the CHANNEL SET column may not be the same as those
in your area. This is because this VCR’s channel search system is based on the fixed
TV system that has the widest channel coverage. If necessary, apply your local
channel numbers to the programme positions (see “Presetting channels manually”
on page 15).

Setting up the
G-CODE system
The G-CODE system is a feature
included in Sony VCRs that simplifies
programming the VCR to make timer
recordings. To use the G-CODE system,
each programme position needs to be
matched with its G-CODE guide
channel. To get the guide channel
numbers, look in the programme guide
for your area that features G-CODE
numbers.
If you want to record satellite broadcast
using the G-CODE system, see page 29.
Before you start…
• Turn on the VCR and the TV.
• Set the TV to the video channel.
Setting the guide channels
1
Press MENU, then press 
M/m to move the
cursor (B) to SET UP CH AND G-CODE
and press OK.
The preset channels are displayed on the
screen.
2
Press

Setting up the G-CODE system for satellite
broadcasts (if applicable)
When your satellite tuner is connected via the AERIAL IN connector, first
you have to set the programme position for each satellite channel using the
TUNER PRESET menu.  Then set the guide channel number for each satellite
channel using the SET UP CH AND G-CODE menu.
If your satellite tuner is connected via the LINE-1 IN jacks, you do not have
to set programme positions nor guide channel numbers for satellite
channels.  Skip the following operations.
1
Turn on the satellite tuner.
2
Press MENU, then select TUNER PRESET and press OK.
3
Press PROG +/– to select a programme position you want to use for
watching a satellite channel.
4
Select CHANNEL SET, then press 
, to tune
the VCR to the satellite tuner.
The channel number displayed in the
CHANNEL SET column is used for
receiving all satellite broadcasts from
the satellite tuner.
5
Press PROG +/– to select another programme position for another
satellite channel, and press the programme number buttons to enter the
same channel number as the one displayed in step 4.
Repeat this step for all satellite channels.
6
Set the guide channel number for each programme position assigned to
the satellite channel by following the procedures on page 27.
Notes
• The G-CODE system used in this VCR is for Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong,
Macau, etc. and cannot be used in areas such as U.S.A, Canada, Japan, Korea,
Taiwan and U.K.
• The menu disappears automatically if you do not proceed for more than a few
minutes.
• If you inadvertently entered a guide channel number, press 
M/m repeatedly to reset
the “GUIDE CH” column to “---”. “---” appears between 1 and 255.
• The VCR does not allow you to enter the guide channel number if the same number
has been set.
• If you use a satellite tuner connected via the LINE-1 IN jacks, you do not have to set
up the G-CODE guide channels. Just record a satellite programme using the
G-CODE number, and the VCR automatically records the programme from the
LINE-1 IN jacks.
• When you record a satellite broadcast using the G-CODE number, you need to
select the desired channel on the satellite tuner manually.
