Registering Audio/Video Equipment

Registering Sony audio/video equipment

If your Sony audio and video equipment can be controlled by an infrared remote, simply connect them to the jacks shown on the following table, registration is unnecessary.

Receiver jacks	Equipment to be connected
VIDEO 1	Sony VTR 3	(VHS)
VIDEO 2	Sony VTR 1	(BETA)
VIDEO 3	Sony VTR 2	(8 mm)
LD	Sony LD player
TV/DBS	Sony DBS receiver
DAT/MD	Sony DAT deck
CD	Sony CD player (CD 1)
TAPE	Sony Tape deck
MONITOR	Sony TV (via its VIDEO 1 jack)

The following cases require registration of Sony products

•When connecting a Sony MD deck to the DAT/MD jacks.

•When connecting a Sony audio product with CONTROL-A1 compatibility.

•When connecting a Sony product to jacks other than those specified in the previous table (e.g., when connecting a Sony LD player to the VIDEO 3 jacks).

•When exchanging non-Sony audio or video equipment with a Sony product.

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 only be used when making CONTROL-A1 connections).

Registering non-Sony audio/video equipment

If you connect audio or video equipment made by another manufacturer, you must program the IR codes used by the equipment before you can control it through the receiver.

You can program up to 120 IR codes, including user IR codes; however, depending on the type of codes recorded, the maximum limit may be less than 100. It may be difficult or impossible to program up to 120 codes under the following conditions:

•When programing IR codes of special remotes such as card type remotes, or remotes for household appliances such as air conditioners.

•When programing from remotes with weak batteries.

•When programing IR codes that have been programed to a programmable remote (i.e., any IR code not originally supplied in the respective remote).
