To obtain a clear picture from the VCR

If the picture does not appear clearly in step 5 above, first go to step 6 to finish this procedure once. Then start from step 2. After pressing RF CHANNEL twice in step 2 to display the RF channel, press PROGRAM +/– so that another RF channel appears. Then tune the TV to the new RF channel until a clear picture appears.

To set another RF channel number on the VCR, select a channel number that does not receive a broadcast signal in your area and is clear of interference from other channels.

If you cannot obtain a clear picture after performing this procedure, we recommend you connect the VCR and TV using the audio/video cable (see “To a TV that has audio/video input jacks” on page 6). If the same symptom persists, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Note

•If you set the wrong TV system, you may have no sound or sound may be distorted (noisy sound).
