Sony SLV-696HF - Hookups and Getting Started

Hookups and Getting Started
Before you can use your VCR for the first time, you need to
connect it to your TV and set it up to receive programs for
viewing and recording. This section explains how to hook up,
set up, and operate your VCR so that you can start enjoying
it right away. There are, however, many types of TVs
available and many different ways in which your TV can be
hooked up. As a result, this manual describes several ways
your VCR can be connected.
To hook up your VCR so that it works best for you, first scan
through this section to find the diagram that best illustrates
the way your TV is currently connected (antenna or cable/
cable box). Then use the accompanying diagrams and
procedures to complete your VCR's connections.
After you’ve completed the connections, follow the
instructions for setup, including VCR Plus+ setup.
(During setup, if you need more details of the procedures
described, page numbers are provided where you can find
complete, step-by-step instructions.)
After you've completed the setup, you're ready to use your
VCR. Foltow the instructions provided in “To Watch the TV”,
“To Watch the VCR”, and “To Record A Program” for your
specific hookup.
(Again, if you need step-by-step instructions, page numbers
are provided where you can find this information.)
