WARNING

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.

To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

Mains lead must only be changed at a qualified service shop.

Notice for customers in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland

A moulded plug complying with BS1363 is fitted to this equipment for your safety and convenience.

If the 13A fitted plug does not match the outlet socket in your home, please refer to your Appointed Sony Dealer for advice.

Should the fuse in the plug supplied need to be replaced, a 5 AMP fuse approved by ASTA or BSI

to BS1362, (i.e., marked with or mark) must be used.

If the plug supplied with this equipment has a detachable fuse cover, be sure to attach the fuse cover after you change the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover. If you should lose the fuse cover, please contact your nearest Sony service station.

Precautions

Safety

This unit operates on 220 – 240 V AC, 50 Hz. Check that the unit’s operating voltage is identical with your local power supply.

If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

The unit is not disconnected from the mains as long as it is connected to the mains, even if the unit itself has been turned off.

Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if you do not intend to use it for an extended period of time. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug, never by the cord.

Installing

Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat buildup.

Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation slots.

Do not install the unit near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.

Do not install the unit in an inclined position. It is designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.

Keep the unit and cassettes away from equipment with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens or large loudspeakers.

Do not place heavy objects on the unit.

If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture may condense inside the VCR and cause damage to the video head and tape. When you first install the unit, or when you move it from a cold to a warm location, wait for about three hours before operating the unit.

Caution

Television programmes, films, video tapes and other materials may be copyrighted. Unauthorized recording of such material may be contrary to the provisions of the copyright laws. Also, use of this recorder with cable television transmission may require authorization from the cable television transmitter and/or programme owner.

Compatible colour systems

Getting Started

Step 1 : Unpacking

Check that you have received the following items with the VCR:

• Remote commander • Aerial cable

• R6 (size AA) batteries

Check your model name

The instructions in this manual are for the 4 models: SE700G, SE700I, SE800G and SE800I. Check your model number by looking at the rear panel of your VCR. SLV-SE800G is the model used for illustration purposes. Any difference in operation is clearly indicated in the text, for example, “SLV-SE700I only.”

4 Unpacking

Step 2 : Setting up the remote commander

Inserting the batteries

Insert two R6 (size AA) batteries by matching the + and – on the batteries to the diagram inside the battery compartment.

Insert the negative (–) end first, then push in and down until the positive (+) end clicks into position.

Using the remote commander

You can use this remote commander to operate this VCR and a Sony TV. Buttons on the remote commander marked with a dot () can be used to operate your Sony TV. If the TV does not have the symbol near the remote sensor, this remote commander will not operate the TV.

The VCR automatically turns on and starts searching for all of the receivable channels and presets them in the appropriate order for your local

RF CHANNEL area.

If you want to change the order of the channels or disable unwanted programme positions, see “Changing/disabling programme positions” on page 23.

If you use the SMARTLINK connection, the Preset Download function starts and the SMARTLINK indicator flashes in the display window during download.

After the search or download is complete, the current time appears in the display window for any stations that transmit a time signal. If the time does not appear, set the clock manually (see page 29).
