Basic hookups
Step 3 : Basic hookups
Before you get started
• Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord of each component before connecting.
• Turn off the power to all equipment.
• Do not connect the AC power cords until all of the connections are completed.  If 
you connect the AC power cord before the connections are completed, you may not 
be able to use the Plug and Play function.
• Be sure you make connections firmly.  Loose connections may cause picture 
distortion.
• If your TV does not match any of the examples provided, see your nearest Sony 
dealer or qualified technician.
Selecting the best hookup option
There are many ways in which your DVD-VCR can be hooked up.  To hook up your 
DVD-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 
DVD-VCR.
If your TV has audio/video inputs, refer to page 12 for audio/video (A/V) hookup.  
Then follow one of the hookups below.  If your TV does not have A/V inputs, go 
directly to one of the hookups below. 
After you have completed the connections, follow the instructions for setup.
After you have completed the setup, you are ready to use your DVD-VCR.  
Procedures differ depending on the hookup you used.
Caution
Connections between the DVD-VCR’s VHF/UHF connector and the antenna terminals of the 
TV receiver should be made only as shown in the following instructions.  Failure to do so may 
result in operation that violates the regulations of the Federal Communications Commission 
regarding the use and operation of RF devices.  Never connect the output of the DVD-VCR to an 
antenna or make simultaneous (parallel) antenna and DVD-VCR connections at the antenna 
terminals of your receiver.
