If more than one code number is listed, try entering them one at a time until

Step 2: Setting up the remote commander (continued)

Notes

• If the TV uses a different remote control system from the one programmed to work

with the VCR, you cannot control your TV with the remote commander.

• You may not be able to use some buttons to control non-Sony TVs due to the remote

commander’s signal limitations.

• If you enter a new code number, the code number previously entered will be erased.
• When you replace the batteries of the remote commander, the code number may

automatically reset to 01 (Sony). If your TV is not a Sony, it is recommended to
manually set the appropriate code number every time you replace the batteries.

Hookup

Audio/video (A/V) hookup

If your TV has audio/video (A/V) input jacks, you will get a better picture
and sound when you hook up your VCR using these connections. If your TV
doesn’t have A/V inputs, see the following page for antenna hookup.

For SLV-ED919KR only

For a true “home theater” experience, you should connect the audio outputs
of your VCR or TV to your stereo system.

Use this hookup if your TV has stereo jacks
