After you’ve completed the connections, follow the instructions for setup.
After you’ve completed the setup, you’re ready to use your VCR. Procedures differ depending on the hookup you used. For an overview, refer to “Quick reference to using the VCR” on the back cover.
Before you get started
•Turn off the power to all equipment.
•Do not connect the AC power cords until all of the connections are completed. If you connect the AC power cord before the connections are completed, you may not be able to use the Plug and Play function.
•Be sure you make connections firmly. Loose connections may cause picture distortion.
•If your TV doesn’t match any of the examples provided, see your nearest Sony dealer or qualified technician.
