this unit, point at the remote sensor on the
unit. To operate the TV, point at the remote
sensor on the TV. Buttons in the shaded

Step 3

Connecting the unit

(For SLV-GA45AV only)

Connect the unit to your TV using the
audio/video cable (supplied) as shown
below to watch video pictures on your TV.

(For SLV-GA35MKII, GA55MKII,
GA65MKII and GA59)

Connect the aerial to your unit and TV as
shown on the right to watch TV
programmes and video pictures on your TV.
In addition, if your TV has audio/video
(A/V) input jacks, we recommend you
connect the unit to your TV using an
audio/video cable (not supplied) to get a
better picture and sound.

Connecting the aerial

* A plug adaptor is included with some models.

Use the plug adaptor to connect the mains lead
to the mains, if necessary.

Additional connections

To a TV that has audio/video input jacks

(For SLV-GA35MKII, GA55MKII,
GA65MKII and GA59)

This additional connection improves picture
and sound quality. Connect the TV as
shown below.

If you want to use the Trinitron TV Synchro
Play function, this connection is necessary.
(If your TV has two or more inputs, connect
the audio/video cable to the VIDEO IN 1
jacks.)

Press ?/1 ON/STANDBY to turn on

the unit.

Turn on your TV and select a

programme position for the video
picture.
This channel will now be referred to as
the video channel.

Some TV has the programme position,
such as 0, that is reserved for a VCR. In
this case, select that programme
position for the video picture. Refer to
the instruction manual of your TV for
details.

Step 4

Tuning your TV to
the unit

(SLV-GA35MKII, GA55MKII,
GA65MKII and GA59 only)

If you have connected your unit to the TV
using the audio/video cable, skip this step.

Tune the TV until the video picture

below is clearly displayed on the TV
screen.

Refer to your TV manual for tuning
instructions.

You have now tuned your TV to the
unit. From now on, whenever you want
to play a tape, set the TV to the video
channel.

To obtain a clear playback picture

If the video picture does not appear clearly
in step 3 above, turn the RF CHANNEL
screw on the rear panel of the unit with a
screwdriver to a position where the TV
clearly displays the playback picture.

To select the TV system

For your TV to receive the correct signal
from your unit, you must set the TV
SYSTEM switch on the rear panel of the
unit to either G (for system B/G) or K (for
system D/K). If this switch is set to the
wrong position, the sound will be distorted.
