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.

The mains lead must only be changed at a qualified service shop.

Precautions

Safety

• This unit operates on 110 – 240 V AC,

50/60 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 mains 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 unit 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 one hour 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

• This unit is designed to record and play back using the PAL (B/G and D/K),

MESECAM (B/G and D/K), NTSC 3.58, and

NTSC 4.43 colour systems. Recording of video sources based on other colour systems cannot be guaranteed.

• Tapes recorded with the NTSC colour system can be played back on this unit using a TV or a colour monitor for the PAL colour system.

• To play back tapes recorded with the PAL and MESECAM colour systems, you need a

TV or colour monitor compatible with these systems.

Basic Operations

Turning on the unit and TV, and starting playback automatically (Trinitron TV Synchro Play)

You can only use this function if your TV is made by Sony (Trinitron TV).

How to connect to use this function

Connect the unit and TV with the audio/video cable (see “To a TV that has phono type audio/video input jacks” on page 7). Be sure to connect the audio/video cable to the VIDEO IN 1 jacks on the TV if the TV has two inputs or more. The TV must be placed where it will respond to the remote commander while you are pointing it at the unit.

Operation

Make sure that the TV’s power is in standby mode.

Press TRINITRON TV SYNCHRO PLAY and hold the remote commander in place for about two seconds.

The unit and TV turn on, and the TV is set to the video channel. If there is a tape in the unit, playback starts automatically.

Notes

• If the Trinitron TV Synchro Play function does not work properly:

- Wait a few moments, and press the button again.

- Replace both of the batteries in the remote commander with new ones, and press the button again.

Note that this function may not operate some Sony TVs because of the remote commander’s signal limitations.

• Do not press TRINITRON TV SYNCHRO PLAY while playing back a video tape. If you do so, the TV’s input source will momentarily switch to the TV’s tuner.

Karaoke sing along (continued)

Tip

• When you sing along with music played back on equipment connected to the LINE

1/2 IN jacks on the unit, play the music source and follow steps 1 and 4 on page 16.

Notes

• If the sound is reproduced through a stereo amplifier, turn down the volume of amplifier before operation.

• If streaks appear during playback, select the colour system that the tape was recorded in (see “To set the colour system” on page 11).

• If feedback occurs, turn down the microphone or TV volume, or move the microphone away from the speakers.

• The AMS may not work correctly when:

– the tape quality is poor,

– a song is very short (less than 40 seconds),

– the interval between songs is very short (less than 6 seconds),

– a high level sound is recorded between songs or at the beginning of a song,

– there are low level passages or passages without sound in a song,

– narration is recorded at the beginning of a song,

– fade-in or fade-out recording is made on the tape, or

– AMS starts from the very beginning of the tape or near an interval between songs.

• Karaoke Pon does not work with the following tapes:

– tapes on which different vocal sounds are recorded on the left and right channels, such as a duet;

– tapes recorded monaurally; or

– tapes on which sound sources are recorded with strong echo effects and chorus effects.

About OPC

OPC (Optimum Picture Control) automatically improves playback quality by adjusting the unit to the condition of the video heads and tape.

The OPC function automatically works on all types of tapes, including rental tapes and the tapes that were not recorded with OPC.

Notes

• The auto tracking function works automatically when you play back a tape just after inserting it.

• Sufficient picture quality may not be obtained when playing back tapes recorded on another VCR or tapes in poor condition.

• When a tape recorded with the copyguard system is played back, intermittent distortion may appear in the upper portion of the picture. However, this is not a malfunction of the unit.

Troubleshooting (continued)

Symptom

No tape can be inserted.

The microphone sound is distorted.

The remote commander does not function.

The unit needs to be cleaned.

Remedy

• Check that a tape isn’t already in the tape compartment.

• The MIC VOL 1/2 control(s) is/are set too high.

• Make sure you are pointing the remote commander at the remote sensor on the unit.

• Replace all the batteries in the remote commander with new ones if they are weak.

• Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a dry soft cloth, or a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of solvent, such as alcohol or benzine.

Auto head cleaner

The unit incorporates an auto head cleaner which cleans the video heads when a tape is loaded or unloaded. When the heads are not sufficiently clean, even after a tape has been loaded/unloaded several times, use a video head cleaning cassette.

Symptoms caused by contaminated video heads

• Normal picture • Rough picture • Unclear picture • No picture (or black & white screen appears) initial contamination terminal

Sapphire tape cleaner

The unit incorporates a sapphire tape cleaner which cleans a video tape when it is loaded. This cleaner can prevent the video heads from contamination by removing dust or mold from a tape with the sapphire edge.
