Step 5: Connecting the Mains Lead

Connect the supplied mains lead to the AC IN terminal of the recorder. Then plug the recorder and TV mains leads (AC power cords) into the mains. After you connect the mains lead, you must wait for a short while before operating the recorder. You can operate the recorder once the front panel display lights up and the recorder enters standby mode.

If you connect additional equipment to this recorder (page 34), be sure to connect the mains lead after all connections are complete.

You can control the recorder using the supplied remote. Insert two R6 (size AA) batteries by matching the 3 and # ends on the batteries to the markings inside the battery compartment. When using the remote, point it at the remote sensor on the recorder.

bNotes

•If the supplied remote interferes with your other Sony DVD recorder or player, change the command mode number for this recorder (page 29).

•Use the batteries correctly to avoid possible leakage and corrosion. Should leakage occur, do not touch the liquid with bare hands. Observe the following:

–Do not use a new battery with an old battery, or batteries of different manufacturers.

–Do not attempt to recharge the batteries.

–If you do not intend to use the remote for an extended period of time, remove the batteries.

–If battery leakage occurs, wipe out any liquid inside the battery compartment, and insert new batteries.

•Do not expose the remote sensor (markedon the front panel) to strong light, such as direct sunlight or a lighting apparatus. The recorder may not respond to the remote.

•When you replace the batteries of the remote, the code number and Command Mode may be reset to the default setting. Set the appropriate code number and Command Mode again.
