Remote Control Configuration for VCR/DVD

This remote control is set by default to operate the basic functions of this Sony TV, Sony DVD
and most Sony VCRs when batteries are initially installed. To control VCRs and DVDs of other
major brands and certain Sony VCR models, please complete the following steps:

• Before you start, look up the 3 digit code for your brand of DVD or VCR from the list on
next page. On those brands that have more than one code, enter the first code number.

• Sony will endeavour to update the software according to market changes. Therefore,
please refer to the code table included with the remote control for the latest code set.

1 Press the Media Selector button on the remote control repeatedly

until the required VCR or DVD green light lights up.

If Media Selector is in the TV position, code numbers will
not be stored.

2 Before the green light goes out, press and hold the yellow button

for approximately 6 seconds until the green light starts flashing.

3 Whilst the green light is flashing, enter all three digits of the code

for your brand (see next page) using the number buttons on the
remote control.

If your selected code is entered correctly, all three green
lights will be lit momentarily.

4 Turn on your VCR or DVD and check that the main functions

work.

• If your equipment is not working or some of the
functions do not work, please check you entered the
correct code set or try the next code listed against the
brand (see next page).

• Your brand codes may be lost if weak batteries are not
replaced within a few minutes. To reset your DVD or
VCR code number please repeat the above steps. A
small label is attached inside the battery door to allow
you to record your brand codes.

• Not all brands are covered and not all models of every
brand may be covered.
