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 13

Playing a tape (continued)

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.

Troubleshooting

If you have any questions or problems not covered below, please consult your nearest Sony service facility.

Symptom Remedy

• Connect the mains lead securely.

The ON/STANDBY switch does not function.

The power is turned on but the unit does not operate.

The VCR enters standby mode or turns off automatically.

The playback picture does not appear on the TV screen.

The picture is not clear.

• Moisture condensation occurs. Turn the power off, unplug the mains lead and leave the unit to dry for over an hour.

• The auto safety system is triggered to protect your tape and the unit’s mechanism when there is something wrong with the tape or when the mechanism is overloaded. Press ON/STANDBY to restart the unit.

If the unit does not work after pressing ON/STANDBY again, disconnect the mains lead from the mains. Wait for at least 15 seconds. Then reconnect mains, and press ON/STANDBY again. If the unit still does not work, please consult your nearest Sony service facility.

• Make sure the TV is set to the video channel. If you are using a monitor, set it to video input.

• Adjust the tracking with the $/4 TRACKING

NORMAL/SLOW buttons.

• Make sure the COLOR SYSTEM switch is set to the position corresponding to the colour system which the tape was recorded with.

• The video heads are dirty (see the next page). Clean the video heads using a video head cleaning cassette.

If a cleaning cassette is not available in your area, have the heads cleaned at your nearest Sony service facility

(a standard service charge will be required). Do not use a commercially available wet-type cleaning cassette, as it may damage the video heads.

• The video heads may have to be replaced. Consult your local Sony service facility for more information.

• Adjust the vertical hold control on the TV or monitor.

The picture rolls vertically during picture search.

The picture has no sound.

• The tape is defective. Use a new tape.

Troubleshooting (continued)

Symptom

The tape starts playing as soon as it is inserted.

The tape is ejected when you press r REC.

Nothing happens when you press r REC.

No tape can be inserted.

The remote commander does not function.

The unit needs to be cleaned.

Remedy

• The safety tab has been removed. To record on this tape, cover the tab hole.

• Check that the safety tab has not been removed.

• Make sure the tape is not at its end.

• (SLV-XF247ME/PS only)

Select the correct source with the INPUT SELECT switch, LINE 1 or LINE 2.

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

• 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 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.
