cabinet, unplug the player and have it checked
by qualified personnel before operating it any
further.
On cleaning

cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad,
scouring powder or solvent, such as alcohol or
benzine.

microwave ovens or large loudspeakers.
Do not place heavy objects on the unit.
When the video heads are dirty, clean the video
heads using a Sony video head cleaning cassette. If
a Sony cleaning cassette is not available in your
area, have the heads cleaned at your nearest Sony
dealer (a standard service fee will be charged). Do
not use a commercially available liquid type
cleaning cassette, as it may damage the video

inside the player and cause damage to the video
head, tape, and the optical block. Should this
occur, the player may not operate properly.
When you first install the player, or when you
move it from a cold to a warm location, remove
the disc and tape and leave the player turned on
for about three hours before operating the

Step 6 : Presetting channels
This DVD-VCR is capable of receiving VHF channels 2 to 13, UHF channels 14 to 69 and
unscrambled CATV channels 1 to 125. First, we recommend that you preset the receivable
channels in your area using automatic presetting methods. Then, if there are any unwanted
channels, disable them manually. If you have already decided which channels you wish to
preset, set them directly using manual presetting methods (page 27).

How to set up your VCR
Example of “Channel Line-up Chart”
Setting up your VCR involves coordinating
the TV channel number (the number you turn
to on your TV or VCR to watch a program)
with the guide channel (the number that is
assigned to that channel in your program
guide).

To find the guide channel numbers, look at
the “Channel Line-up Chart” in the program

PlusCode numbers. It usually looks like the
example to the right.

To set the guide channels, use the Channel
Line-up Chart to check that the guide channel
numbers match the TV channel your VCR
receives. For example, if HBO is listed in the
Channel Line-up Chart as channel 33, and
your VCR receives HBO on channel 5, you
need to coordinate these numbers using the
following procedure. If the guide and TV
channel numbers are the same, you can skip
this procedure.

• Desactive la alimentación de todo el equipo.
• No conecte los cables de alimentación de CA hasta no realizar todas las
las conexiones, es posible que no pueda utilizar la función Plug and Play.
• Asegúrese de hacer las conexiones firmemente. Las conexiones flojas pueden
provocar distorsiones en la imagen.
• Si su televisor no coincide con ninguno de los ejemplos suministrados, consulte
con el proveedor Sony o técnico calificado más cercano.
Selección de la mejor opción de conexión
Si su televisor tiene entradas de audio/video, consulte la página 4 para la conexión de audio/
video (A/V). Siga después uno de los siguientes procedimientos de conexión. Si su televisor no

dispositivos de radiofrecuencia. No conecte nunca la salida de la Videograbadora-DVD a una
antena ni haga conexiones simultáneas (en paralelo) de antena y Videograbadora-DVD en los
terminales de antena de su receptor.
Nota para el instalador del sistema CATV (en EE.UU.)
Este recordatorio está provisto para llamar la atención del instalador del sistema CATV sobre el
artículo 820-40 del NEC que ofrece directrices para la apropiada puesta a tierra y, en particular,
especifica que el cable de tierra deberá ser conectado al sistema de puesta a tierra del edificio, lo
más cerca posible del punto de entrada del cable como sea práctico.
