Getting Started

Step 1

Unpacking

Check that you have received the following items with the VCR:

• Remote commander

R6 (Size AA) batteries

Aerial cable

Step 2

Setting up the remote commander

Inserting the batteries

Insert two R6 (size AA) batteries by matching the + and - on the batteries to the diagram inside the battery compartment. Insert the negative (-) end first, then push in and down until the positive (+) end clicks into position.

Using the remote commander

You can use this remote commander to operate the VCR and a Sony TV. To operate this VCR, point at the remote sensor on the VCR. To operate the TV, point at the remote sensor on the TV. Buttons in the shaded area of the remote commander can be used to operate your Sony TV. If the TV does not have the symbol near the remote sensor, this remote commander will not operate the TV.

To	Press
Turn the TV to standby or active mode	I/O (on/standby)
Turn on the TV power	☐ (TV power)
Increase (+) or decrease (-) the TV volume	VOL +/-
Change the TV programme position	PROG (CH) +/-
Select an input source of the TV either from aerial in or from line in	TV/VIDEO

Notes

• With normal use, the batteries should last about three to six months.
• If you do not use the remote commander for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from battery leakage.
• Do not use a new battery with an old one.
• Do not use different types of batteries.

Step 3

Connecting the VCR

Connect the aerial to your VCR and TV as shown below to watch TV programmes and video pictures on your TV. In addition, if your TV has audio/video (A/V) input jacks, we recommend you connect the VCR to your TV using an audio/video cable to get a better picture and sound.

Connecting the aerial

Disconnect the aerial cable from your TV and connect it to AERIAL IN on the rear panel of the VCR.

Connect AERIAL OUT of the VCR and the aerial input of your TV using the supplied aerial cable.

Connect the mains lead to the mains.

Additional connections

To a TV that has audio/video input jacks This additional connection improves picture and sound quality. Connect the TV as shown below.

If you want to use the Trinitron TV Synchro Play function, this connection is necessary. (If your TV has two or more inputs, connect the audio/video cable to the VIDEO IN 1 jacks.)

Step 4

Tuning your TV to the VCR

If you have connected your VCR to the TV using the audio/video cable, skip this step.

1 Press I/ON/STANDBY to turn on the VCR.

Refer to your TV manual for tuning instructions.

You have now tuned your TV to the VCR. From now on, whenever you want to play a tape, set the TV to the video channel.

Turn on your TV and select a programme position for the video picture.

This channel will now be referred to as the video channel.

Some TV has the programme position, such as 0, that is reserved for a VCR. In this case, select that programme position for the video picture. Refer to the instruction manual of your TV for details.

To obtain a clear playback picture

If the video picture does not appear clearly in step 3 above, turn the RF CHANNEL screw on the rear panel of the VCR with a screwdriver to a position where the TV clearly displays the playback picture.

To select the TV system

For your TV to receive the correct signal from your VCR you must set the TV SYSTEM switch on the rear panel of the VCR to either G (for system B/G) or K (for system D/K). If this switch is set to the wrong position, the sound will be distorted.

Turning on the VCR and TV to start playback (Trinitron TV Synchro Play)

You can only use this function if your TV is made by Sony (Trinitron TV).

How to connect to use this function

Connect the VCR and TV with the audio/video cable. Be sure to connect the audio/video cable to the VIDEO IN 1 jacks on the TV if the TV has two inputs or more. The TV must be placed where it will respond to the remote commander while you are pointing it at the VCR.

Operation

Make sure that the TV's power is in standby mode.

Press TRINITRON TV SYNCHRO PLAY and hold the remote commander in place for about two seconds.

The VCR and TV turn on, and the TV is set to the video channel. If there is a tape in the VCR, playback starts automatically.

Notes

• If the Trinitron TV Synchro Play function does not work properly:

• Wait a few moments, and press the button again.

• Replace both of the batteries in the remote commander with new ones, and press the button again.

Note that this function may not operate some Sony TVs because of the remote commander's signal limitations.
- Do not press TRINITRON TV SYNCHRO PLAY while playing back a video tape. If you do so, the TV's input source will momentarily switch to the TV's tuner.

Adjusting the picture

Although the VCR automatically adjusts the picture when playing a tape, distortions or noise may occur if the tape was recorded in poor condition. If so, manually adjust the resolution, colour and tracking.

STD PICT

Adjusting the resolution and colour

1 While playing a tape, press / / RESOLUTION CONTROL II (up/ down/left/right button on the unit) to display the RESOLUTION CONTROL II menu.

The RESOLUTION CONTROL II buttons light up.

2 Press RESOLUTION CONTROL II (left/right button on the unit) to get a clearer picture.
3 Press / RESOLUTION CONTROL II (up/down button on the unit) to get the best picture colour. Wait for several seconds until the RESOLUTION CONTROL II menu disappears.

Adjusting the tracking

Press / TRACKING NORMAL/SLOW to obtain the best possible picture. The distortion should disappear as you press one of the two buttons. If you cannot get a clear picture with manual adjustment, press TRACKING AUTO/MANU to return to automatic adjustment.

About Adaptive Picture Control (APC)

Adaptive Picture Control (APC) automatically improves recording and playback quality by adjusting the unit to the condition of the video heads and tape.

APC playback

The APC function automatically works on all types of tapes, including rental tapes and tapes that were not recorded with APC.

APC recording

Whenever you insert a tape and first start recording, the unit adjusts to the tape using the APC function. This adjustment is retained until the tape is ejected.

Tip

• Adjust the picture using / NORMAL/ SLOW/STILL ADJUST if: - streaks appear while playing in slow motion - the picture shakes while pausing

Notes

• The auto tracking function works automatically when you play back a tape just after inserting it.
• There is a delay of a few seconds before the unit actually starts recording while the unit analyses the tape. To avoid the delay, first set the unit to recording pause and press REC to have the unit analyse the tape. After ten seconds, press PAUSE to start recording immediately. If you press PAUSE before ten seconds, the APC function is cancelled.
• While playing a MESECAM recorded tape, you cannot adjust the colour using the RESOLUTION CONTROL II function.
• Sufficient picture quality may not be obtained when playing back tapes recorded on another VCR or tapes in poor condition.
• When a tape recorded with the copyguard system is played back, intermittent distortion may appear in the upper portion of the picture. However, this is not a malfunction of the unit.

To resume the automatic adjustment

Press STANDARD PICTURE on the remote commander (STD PICT on the unit) so that the RESOLUTION CONTROL II buttons turn off.

Editing with another VCR

How to connect to record on this VCR

VMC-710HG/720HG audio/video cable (not supplied)
: Signal flow

Tip

• Use a commercially available connecting cable such as the Sony VMC-710HG/720HG. If the other VCR has the AUDIO L and R jacks, use a connecting cable such as the Sony VMC-910HG (3-phono to 2-phono).

Notes

• Make sure you connect the plugs to jacks of the same colour.
• If you connected this VCR to both the LINE IN and LINE OUT jacks of the other VCR, select the input correctly to prevent a humming noise.
• Make sure you set the CONNECT LINE-1 switch to OTHERS.

Operation (when recording on this VCR)

You can make a copy of a tape using this VCR for recording or playback. The VCR cannot record TV programmes directly since it does not have a TV tuner.

Before you start editing

• Turn on your TV and set it to the video channel.

1 Set TAPE SPEED to select the tape speed (SP or LP for the PAL colour system and SP or EP for the NTSC colour system).

LP provides a recording time twice as long as SP. EP provides a recording time three times as SP. However, SP produces better picture quality.

2 Insert a source tape with its safety tab removed into the other (playback) VCR. Search for the point to start playback and set it to playback pause.

3 Insert a tape with its safety tab in place into this (recording) VCR. Search for the point to start recording and press PAUSE.

4 Press REC on this VCR to set it to recording pause.

5 To start editing, press the PAUSE buttons on both VCRs at the same time.

To stop editing

Press the STOP buttons on both VCRs.

To check the remaining tape length Press DISPLAY.

The white bar indicates the approximate length of the tape recording.

To turn the display off, press DISPLAY again.

To save a recording

To prevent accidental erasure, break off the safety tab as illustrated. To record on a tape again, cover the tab hole with adhesive tape.

Tips

• To edit more precisely, press the PAUSE buttons on the VCRs to release pause.
• To cut out unwanted scenes while editing, press PAUSE on this VCR when an unwanted scene begins. When that scene ends, press PAUSE again to resume recording.

Synchronised recording

The Synchronised Recording feature enables you to record from the connected equipment such as a satellite tuner, a cable TV decoder or a TV that has a timer function. Once you set the timer on the other equipment, the VCR will start recording the programme synchronised with the timer.

How to connect to use this function

Connect the other equipment to the LINE IN jacks of this VCR.

Signal flow

Setting the CONNECT LINE-1 switch

When you connect the other equipment to the LINE IN jacks, set the CONNECT LINE-1 switch on the rear of the VCR following the table below to allow better signal transmission to your TV.
