Connections

Optional connection

1 Connect the coaxial cable from your TV antenna or cable service to the IN jack on your VCR.

2 Connect a coaxial cable (not supplied) from the OUT jack on your VCR to the VHF/UHF jack on the TV.

Optional connection

If your VCR is equipped with video outputs, you can get better picture quality by connecting audio/video cables (not supplied) from AUDIO/VIDEO OUT on your VCR to AUDIO/VIDEO IN on your TV.

For better picture quality, use S VIDEO instead of the yellow video cable. S VIDEO does not provide sound, so you still must connect the audio cables.

Using your TV with this connection

This connection allows you to do the following:

Program your Sony remote control to operate your VCR (see page 5).

To activate your remote, press (FUNCTION button) to operate your VCR. To do this, first program your remote control, then use the Channel Fix feature to set your TV to channel 3 or 4 (see page 31).

Press repeatedly to switch between VCR input (VIDEO input) and VHF/UHF (local channels).

KV-27FS120 specifications

The Sony KV-27FS120 is a classic example of a CRT (cathode ray tube) television that was popular during the early 2000s. It combines vintage aesthetics with impressive technology for its time, delivering a viewing experience that many enthusiasts still appreciate today.

One of the standout features of the KV-27FS120 is its 27-inch screen size, which was considered generous for home entertainment setups in its era. The television utilizes a traditional CRT display, known for its deep blacks and excellent color reproduction. The screen's aspect ratio is 4:3, a common standard during its production, making it well-suited for viewing older television shows and standard VHS content.

The KV-27FS120 incorporates Sony's proprietary Trinitron technology, which enhances picture quality by utilizing a unique aperture grille design. This technology contributes to improved brightness, sharper images, and a wider color gamut compared to traditional CRT displays. Users often praised the television for its vivid colors and solid contrast, turning it into a preferred choice for watching movies and television series.

Additionally, the KV-27FS120 features Sony's Picture-in-Picture (PIP) functionality, enabling users to view two different programs simultaneously on one screen. This feature offers convenience for multitasking, allowing viewers to catch up on sports while following a show. The television is equipped with multiple inputs, including composite video, S-Video, and RF connections, ensuring compatibility with various devices such as VCRs, DVD players, and gaming consoles.

Sound quality is another strong point of the KV-27FS120, as it includes built-in stereo speakers that produce clear and balanced audio. The television also features a variety of audio modes to enhance the viewing experience, making it more immersive.

Despite the advancements in flat-panel technology, the Sony KV-27FS120 remains a beloved piece for collectors and nostalgic viewers. Its robust build, classic design, and excellent display quality make it a unique choice, and it holds a special place in the hearts of those who grew up during the CRT era. For many, the KV-27FS120 is not just a television; it represents an era of high-quality home entertainment.
