Precautions
WORTH
knowing
Please keep the video machine's guarantee card and receipt safe for warranty
purposes.
◆ Read carefully through this manual to familiarize yourself with this
high-quality video recorder.
◆ Make sure the rating of your household electricity supply matches
that shown on the back of the video recorder.
◆ Refer to this chapter and the "Initial installation" chapter to help
you install and adjust your video recorder.
◆ The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm
persons without supervision.
◆ Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
Do not ...
... expose the video recorder to high levels of humidity and heat, to
avoid the risk of fire and electric shock.
... open the video recorder. Have a qualified technician carry out
repairs.
... connect the video recorder to the power supply if you have just
moved it from a cold to warm environment. This can result in
condensation inside the recorder and cause serious damage to the
machine and cassettes. Wait around two hours to allow it to reach
room temperature.
Make sure ...
... the recorder is placed on a steady, flat surface.
... you place the recorder where there is good ventilation all around.
... you clean the recorder only with a soft, lint-free cloth; do not use
aggressive or alcohol-based cleaning agents.
... you disconnect the power supply if the recorder appears to be
working incorrectly, is making an unusual sound, has a strange
smell, has smoke emitting from it or liquids have got inside it. Have
a qualified technician check the recorder.
... you disconnect the power supply and aerial if you will not be using
the recorder for a long period or during a thunderstorm.
For your own safety!
◆ There are no components in this video recorder you can
service or repair yourself.
◆ Do not open the case of the video recorder. Only allow
qualified personnel to repair or service your set.
◆ This video recorder is designed for continuous
operation. Switching it off does not disconnect it from
the mains (stand-by). To disconnect it from the mains,
you have to unplug it.
◆ Recording any copyright protected material may infringe
a copyright.
