Making Video Connections
Your TV includes
several types of video
inputs. Use the inputs
that are available on
your components that
provide the best
video performance, as
described in right.

Additional Connections
For best audio performance, connect your digital audio components
using either digital optical or digital coaxial audio connections.
Depending on which components are in your system, you may need
to complete additional connections. For example, if you have a
satellite receiver, you’ll need to connect the satellite antenna. If you
have an AV receiver, you’ll need to connect speakers.
4 Programming the
Remote Control
The remote control is preset to operate Sony brand video equipment.
Sony Equipment Programmable Code Number
DVD/VCR 601 (Sony Dream System)
SAT/Cable 801 (Sony Satellite Receiver)
If you have video equipment other than Sony brand that you want to
control with the TV’s remote control, use the following procedures to
program the remote control.
Note
The equipment must have infrared (IR) remote capability in order to be used with this
remote control.
Using the code list below, find the three-digit code number for the
manufacturer of your equipment. (If more than one code number is
listed, use the number listed first.)
