Setting up the remote commander
Controlling other TVs with the remote commander 
(SLV-LX70S and LX60S only)
The remote commander is preprogrammed to control non-Sony TVs.  If your TV is 
listed in the following table, set the appropriate manufacturer’s code number.
Now you can use the 
?/1, VOL +/–, CH +/–, and TV/VIDEO buttons to control your 
TV.  You can also use the buttons marked with a dot (•) to control a Sony TV.  To 
control the VCR, reset •TV / VIDEO to VIDEO.
Code numbers of controllable TVs
If more than one code number is listed, try entering them one at a time until you find 
the one that works with your TV.
Notes
• If you enter a new code number, the code number previously entered will be erased.
• 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.
• When you replace the batteries of the remote commander, the code number may change.  Set 
the appropriate code number every time you replace the batteries.
• When you press the AUDIO MONITOR button, your TV’s menu may appear on the TV 
screen.  To exit the TV menu, press the MENU button on the TV remote commander or wait 
until the menu disappears automatically.

Hookups
Step 3 : Hookups
Selecting the best hookup option
There are many ways in which your VCR can be hooked up.  To hook up your VCR 
so that it works best for you, first scan through the table below.  Then use the 
accompanying diagrams and procedures on the following pages to set up your VCR.
If your TV has audio/video inputs, refer to pages 8 and 9 for audio/video (A/V) 
hookup.  Then follow one of the hookups below. If your TV doesn’t have A/V inputs, 
go directly to one of the hookups below.
After you’ve completed the connections, follow the instructions for setup.  During 
setup, if you need more details on the procedure described, page numbers are 
provided where you can find complete, step-by-step instructions.
After you’ve completed the setup, you’re ready to use your VCR.  Procedures differ 
depending on the hookup you used.  For an overview, refer to “Quick reference to 
using the VCR” on the back cover.
Before you get started
• Turn off the power to all equipment.
• Do not connect the AC power cords until all of the connections are completed.
• Be sure to make connections firmly.  Loose connections may cause picture 
distortion.
• If your TV doesn’t match any of the examples provided, see your nearest Sony 
dealer or qualified technician.

Hookups
Audio/video (A/V) hookup
If your TV has audio/video (A/V) input jacks, you will get a better picture and sound 
if you hook up your VCR using these connections.  If your TV doesn’t have A/V 
inputs, see the following pages for antenna or cable hookups.
If you’re not planning to use your VCR to record programs, you’re finished setting up 
the VCR after you’ve made the connections shown on pages 8 and 9.  If you want to 
record regular or cable TV programs, complete these connections first, and then go to 
the following pages for antenna or cable hookups.
For SLV-LX70S and LX60S
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
Use this hookup if your TV doesn’t have stereo jacks
Notes
• If you don’t have a stereo receiver, connect the white LINE OUT/AUDIO L jack to the 
AUDIO IN jack on your TV.
• To play a tape in stereo, you must use the A/V connection.
• If you use the Trinitron TV Synchro Play function (see page 34), the A/V connection is 
necessary.  (If your TV has two or more inputs, connect the audio/video cable to the VIDEO 
IN 1 jacks.)
