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.

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.

INSTALLATION

Initial

Place your video

◆

horizontally on a flat, steady base so that air can circulate around it for ventilation.

◆

away from humidity and heat, magnetic fields, such as those from loudspeakers etc., and with no heavy objects placed on top.

Switch off all components when connecting or disconnecting cables.

◆ Unplug the aerial cable from your TV and plug it into the "ANT.

IN" socket of the video. Plug the short coaxial cable provided into the "ANT.OUT" socket

of the video and the aerial socket of the TV.

◆ Plug an EURO AV (SCART) cable into the "EURO AV” socket of

the video and the AV socket on the TV if available.

This connection will provide best picture and sound quality. Ask your dealer for an appropriate cable if you do not have one. Without a SCART cable, you need to follow the steps described under "If

you are not using a SCART cable" (right page and page 19).

◆ Make sure the rating of the household mains supply matches the rating

shown on the back of the video.

Now plug in the mains lead. The display of the video should now light.

Fit the batteries as shown by the pictures in the bay.

◆ Protect your environment by returning used batteries to your dealer. Since

batteries contain toxic substances they require special disposal methods.

◆ Make sure the batteries are always of the same type and age, and remove them

from the remote control if you are not using it for a long period.

CONNECTIONS

◆

If you are using a SCART cable, select the AV input on the TV to see the picture from the video.

◆

If you are not using a SCART cable, select the button number on the TV reserved for video input to see the picture from the video.

If you are not using a SCART cable, your video can transmit pictures and sound to the TV via the coax aerial cable. Just tune the TV to the video's transmitting channel (factory set to UHF CH 52). Tune the TV carefully to ensure the best pictures and sound.

Once you have carried out the steps in "Connecting up the video recorder" (page 4), switch on your TV.

Press the OK button of the video’s remote control longer than 5 seconds to call the video´s test picture.

Tune the TV to the test picture using the channel pre-set functions of your TV as described in its manual.

When you have found the test picture, store it under the button number on your TV for video input.

Press the OK button of the video’s remote control again longer than 5 seconds to release the test picture.

Call the video’s "MAIN MENU" choose "VCR Setup" then "RF Output Set".

Type in the free channel.

Store and exit.

If the quality of the test picture transmitted to the TV is poor due to interference caused by a station transmitting on channel 52, you can tune the video to a different transmitting channel. Find a free channel between 21 and 69 on your TV.

◆ If the quality of the test picture transmitted to the TV is poor, fine-tuning on the TV may

help (refer to the TV manual).
