Setting the COMMAND MODE selector

Set COMMAND MODE on the remote commander to the same position as that on the VCR (both switches are set to “VTR4” at the factory.) Change the settings, however, in the following cases:

If you use two or more Sony VCRs: Change the setting of each VCR in order to prevent accidental operation caused by overlapping of commander signals.

To control another Sony VCR with the remote commander supplied with this VCR: Set COMMAND MODE on the other VCR to the same position as that on the remote commander supplied with this VCR.

To control this VCR with the remote commander supplied with the other Sony VCR: Set COMMAND MODE on the remote commander supplied with the other VCR to the same position as that on this VCR.

Tips

•If you set the COMMAND MODE on the operation panel to “OFF,” you can no longer control this VCR from any other Sony remote commander.

If the other Sony VCR does not have a COMMAND MODE switch, use the following settings:

VTR 1: For Sony Betamax format VCRs

VTR 2: For Sony 8 mm format VCRs

VTR 3: For Sony VHS format VCRs
