Important Safety Notice

For your protection, please read these instructions completely, and keep this manual for future reference.

Carefully observe and comply with all warnings, cautions and instructions placed on the set, or described in the operating instructions or service manual.

WARNING

To guard against injury, the following basic safety precautions should be observed in the installation, use, and servicing of the set.

Use

Power Sources

This set should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the serial/model plate. If you are not sure of the type of electrical power supplied to your home, consult your local power company.

Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or convenience receptacles beyond their capacity, since this can result in fire or electric shock.

Always turn the set off when it is not being used. When the set is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet as a precaution against the possibility of an internal malfunction that could create a fire hazard.

Object and Liquid Entry

Never push objects of any kind into the set through the cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the set.

Cleaning

Unplug the set from the wall outlet before cleaning or polishing it. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

Use a cloth lightly dampened with water for cleaning the exterior of the set.

Installation

Water and Moisture

Do not use power-line operated sets near water — for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.

Accessories

Do not place the set on an unstable cart, stand, table or shelf. The set may fall, causing serious injury to a child or an adult, and serious damage to the set. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

Ventilation

The slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back or bottom are provided for necessary ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the set, and to protect it from overheating, these slots and openings must never be blocked or covered.

☐ Never cover the slots and openings with a cloth or other materials.
☐ Never block the slots and openings by placing the set on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.
☐ Never place the set in a confined space, such as a bookcase, or built-in cabinet, unless proper ventilation is provided.
☐ Do not place the set near or over a radiator or heat register, or where it is exposed to direct sunlight.

Power-Cord Protection

Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord, and do not place the set where the power cord is subject to wear or abuse.

Lightning

For added protection for this receiver during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the cable. This will prevent damage to the receiver due to lightning and power-line surges.

Service

Damage Requiring Service

Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

☐ When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
☐ If liquid has been spilled into the set.
☐ If the set has been exposed to rain or water.
☐ If the set has been subject to excessive shock by being dropped, or the cabinet has been damaged.
☐ If the set does not operate normally when following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are specified in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the set to normal operation.
☐ When the set exhibits a distinct change in performance — this indicates a need for service.

Servicing

Do not attempt to service the set yourself since opening the cabinet may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Safety Check

Upon completion of any service or repairs to the set, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks (as specified by the manufacturer) to determine that the set is in safe operating condition, and to so certify.

Programming the Remote Control

The remote control is preset at the factory to operate any Sony brand TV and VCR. If you have any other brand of TV or VCR, use the following procedures to program the remote to use the highlighted buttons shown on pages 5 and 6.

To program the remote

1 Turn to "Remote Control Programmable Codes" on page 12, and find the 3-digit code for your TV or VCR. If more than one code is listed, use the number listed first to complete the following procedures.
2 Press the CODE SET button.
3 Enter the 3-digit code using the 0-9 buttons.
4 Press the # button (located below the "9" button).

To check if the code works

1 Aim the remote control at the component you just programmed (e.g. aim at the TV and press TV POWER).
2 If the component responds, try the CH+ and CH- buttons. If the component responds, you're done.

If the component does NOT respond

Try programming the remote using the other codes listed for your brand. If you still cannot get your component to respond after trying all the codes, your component may not be compatible with this remote. If this happens, you must use your component's remote to operate it. Or, as an alternative, you can use the following instructions to program the Digital Network Receiver's remote to control the volume level.

Programming the Remote to Control Volume Level

If you cannot successfully program the Digital Network Receiver's remote to control your TV (as described on page 6), you can still use this remote to control the volume level (and MUTE) that is output from the Digital Network Receiver's audio LINE OUT 1 (TV) and TO TV/VCR jacks.

To program the remote to control the volume level

1 Press the CODE SET button.
2 Enter 200 using the 0-9 buttons.
3 Press the # button (located below the "9" button).

To check if the code works

1 Aim the remote control at the Digital Network Receiver.
2 Press the VOL+, VOL-, or MUTE button. If the volume level responds, you're done.

If you replace the TV or purchase a new one

Try programming the remote control as described on page 6, or you can continue to control only the volume level as described in this section.

Replacing Batteries in the Remote

When the batteries need to be replaced, insert two size AA batteries by matching the + and - on the batteries to the diagram inside the battery compartment. Then replace the battery compartment lid.

Programming the Wireless Keyboard

The keyboard is preset at the factory to operate any Sony brand TV. If you have any other brand of TV, use the following procedures to program the keyboard to use any of the highlighted buttons shown on page 8.

To program the keyboard

1 Set the keyboard's TV/CABLE switch to TV.
2 Turn to "Wireless Keyboard Programmable Codes" on page 13, and find the 3-digit code for your TV. If more than one code is listed, use the number listed first to complete the following procedures.
3 Press the CODE SET button.
4 Enter the 3-digit code for your TV using the 0-9 keys.
5 Press the OK/Enter key.

To check if the code works

1 Aim the keyboard at the TV and press TV POWER.
2 If the TV responds, try the VOLUME and MUTE buttons. If the TV responds, you're done.
☐ Try programming the keyboard using the other codes listed for your TV brand.
If you still cannot get your TV to respond after trying all the codes, your TV may not be compatible with this keyboard. If this happens, you must use your TV's remote to operate it.

If the TV does NOT respond

Positioning the Keyboard

The keyboard functions like a remote control. To use it, just point it at the front panel of the Digital Network Receiver. For best results, the keyboard should be used within 30 feet of the Digital Network Receiver, at no more than a 45^ angle.

Adjusting the Keyboard Legs

To raise the legs on the keyboard, use your finger to pry up the adjustable legs on the bottom of the keyboard until you feel them lock into place. To lower the keyboard, push each leg down until it snaps into the closed position.

Replacing Batteries in the Keyboard

When the batteries need to be replaced, insert two size AA batteries by matching the + and - on the batteries to the diagram inside the battery compartment. Then replace the battery compartment lid.

Remove the batteries to avoid damage from possible battery leakage whenever you anticipate that the keyboard will not be used for an extended period. Handle the keyboard with care. Avoid dropping it, getting it wet, or placing it in direct sunlight, near a heater, or where the humidity is high.
