Precautions

Read this booklet carefully.

Make sure the rating of your household electricity supply matches that shown on the back of the video recorder.

Read this page and the chapter and the "Setting up the video" to

help you set up and adjust your video recorder.

Do not put the video recorder in a hot or humid place (to avoid the risk of fire and electric shock).

Do not open the video recorder. Get a qualified technician to carry out any repairs.

Do not connect the video recorder to the power supply if you have just moved it from a cold environment to a warm room. This can lead to condensation inside the video which can seriously damage the video and cassettes. Wait around two hours to allow it to reach room temperature.

Make sure the video is placed at least 10cm apart from other home appliances or obstacles to get sufficient ventilation.

This apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on top of the video.

Put the video on a steady, flat surface.

Only clean the video with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use harsh or alcohol-based cleaning agents.

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 a qualified engineer to repair or service your video.

This video recorder is designed to work continuously. Switching it off (onto stand-by) does not disconnect it from the mains. To disconnect it from the mains, you have to unplug it.

Before you do anything with the video, please read the chapter "Setting up the video".
