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.

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the apparatus.

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

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

Do not install this equipment in a confined space such as a book or similar unit.

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.

Step 1 : Unpacking

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

• Remote commander • Aerial cable

Started Getting

• R6 (size AA) batteries

• PERITEL cable

Note

• The supplied remote commander is for the exclusive use of this VCR.

How to use this manual

The instructions in this manual are for the 4 models: SLV-SE840B, SE740B, SE640B and SE240B. Check your model name by looking at the rear panel of your VCR.

SLV-SE840B is the model used for illustration purposes. Any difference in operation is clearly indicated in the text, for example, “SLV-SE840B only.”

This manual mainly explains operations using the remote, but the same operations can also be performed using the buttons on the VCR having the same or similar names.

Unpacking 11

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.

Notes

With normal use, the batteries should last about three to six months.

If you do not use the remote commander for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from battery leakage.

Do not use a new battery together with an old one.

Do not use different types of batteries together.

Do not leave the remote commander in an extremely hot or humid place.

Do not drop any foreign object into the remote casing, particularly when replacing the batteries.

Do not expose the remote sensor to direct light from the sun or lighting apparatus. Doing so may cause a malfunction.

Some buttons may not work with certain Sony TVs.

*1 SLV-SE840B only

1 Set [TV] / [MAGN] at the top of the remote commander to [TV].

2 Hold down ?/1, and enter your TV’s code number using the programme number buttons. Then release ?/1.

Now you can use the following TV control buttons to control your TV:
