Notes

•(SLV-X717 only)

Use commercially available connecting cable like the Sony VMC-710M/720M.

If the other VCR has the AUDIO L and R jacks, use a connecting cable like the Sony VMC-910MS.

•Make sure you connect the plugs to jacks of the same colour.

•If the other VCR is a monaural type, connect the audio plug to the AUDIO L (white) jack. The sound is recorded on both right and left channels. When connecting to the AUDIO R (red) jack, the sound is recorded only on the right channel.

•If you connected this VCR to both the LINE IN and LINE OUT jacks of the other VCR, select the input correctly to prevent a humming noise.

•You can also use the LINE-1 IN jacks instead.
