Sony SLV-ED55PS Operating Instructions Manual page 22

Playing a tape (continued)
Turning on the VCR 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 VCR and TV with the audio/video cable (see "To a TV that has
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 VCR.
Operation
Make sure that the TV's main power is on.
Press TRINITRON TV SYNCHRO PLAY and hold the remote commander in
place for about two seconds.
The VCR and TV turn on, and the TV is set to VCR reception. If there is a
tape in the VCR, 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 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.
