Notes

If your VCR has a COMMAND CODE selector switch (for VTR1, VTR2, or VTR3), set the switch to the applicable setting. If your VCR has a built-in StarSight tuner, you must set the COMMAND CODE selector switch to VTR 3.

If your CD changer has a COMMAND MODE selector switch (for CD 1, CD 2, or CD 3), normally it should be set to “CD 1.” However, if your CD changer has VIDEO OUT terminals, set the command mode to “CD 2” or “CD 3” (“CD 3” should be used only when making CONTROL-A1 connections).
