Playing a tape
Turning on the VCR and TV, and starting playback
automatically (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 (see “Audio/video (A/V)
hookup” on pages 8 and 9). 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 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 during playback. If you do so, the TV’s
input source will momentarily switch to the TV’s tuner.
