Precautions

WORTH

knowing

Please keep the video's guarantee sheet (pages 29 and 30) and receipt for your video
in a safe place.

◆ 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 chapter and the "Setting up your video" chapter 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.

◆ Put the video on a steady, flat surface.

◆ Make sure there is good ventilation all around the video.

◆ 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.

The power cable must be fitted with a fused plug
approved by ASTA or BSI to BS 1362 and provided with a
5A fuse.

The fuse cover must always be securely replaced. If the
video recorder is not working, the fuse may need
replacing (see also “Electrical connection” on page 26).

What to do if you get picture interference

Option 1

a You can use the number buttons on the remote control to change RF52 to 21, and re-tune the

unused channel station on your TV for video input.
b If you still get interference, adjust the number in steps of 2 (for example, 21 to 23, 23 to 25).
c You can change the RF output from 21 to 69. If you still get interference, try option 2.

The RF output can be adjusted from 21 to 69. If other broadcasts are causing
picture interference, you can change the RF output until your television has a
noise-free channel for your video.

Option 2

a Contact your local broadcaster to find the correct RF output. Change this by pressing the

number buttons on the remote control.
b Re-tune the unused channel station on your TV for video input. If you still get interference, try

option 3.

Option 3

diagram 2.

If you want to change the RF output in the future due to new broadcasting stations or equipment and so on, press and
hold the OK button on the remote control until RF 52 is displayed on the front of the video. Then go to option 1 above.

Power - saving features

Dimmer

Your video recorder’s display will go dim when the video is on stand-by.

Auto power off

If your video is connected through RF, it will switch to stand-by when no
station is received for more than five minutes.

Use only good-quality cassettes with the VHS logo.

•Keep cassettes away from moisture or dust, magnetic and electrical fields
(for example, loudspeakers and computer monitors).

•Always rewind cassettes to the beginning when you have finished using
them. Stand cassettes up with the full spool at the bottom. Always keep
cassettes in their cases.

You can protect your precious recordings from being recorded over by
breaking off the safety tab on the side of the cassette (some cassettes have
a slide). When you have removed the tab your video will eject the cassette if
ever you try to record onto it.

If you want to record onto the cassette after removing the tab, cover the hole

Electrical connection

◆ For your own safety read the following instructions carefully before you try to plug this video into the mains.

◆

Check that the voltage on the rating plate matches the voltage in your home. The rating plate

is on the back panel of the video.
If the mains plug fitted to this appliance is not suitable for your mains sockets, remove the plug

and replace it following instructions below.
(See over the page for how to get rid of the original plug).

The wires of the mains lead fitted to this appliance are coloured as follows.

Blue = Neutral (black)
Brown = Live (red)

The colours of wires in the mains lead fitted to this video may not correspond with the coloured
markings of the terminals in the plug.

◆ The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the

letter ‘N’ or coloured black.

◆ The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the

letter ‘L’ or coloured red.

◆ Do not connect any wire to the earth terminal of a three-pin plug.

If the terminals in the plug are not marked or you are in any doubt about the correct connections,
consult a qualified electrician.

27

Moulded plugs

◆ If it is necessary to remove a moulded plug from the mains cable, you should cut it off and

replace it with a suitable replacement.

◆ You cannot use the moulded plug for any other appliance, so remove the fuse and throw it

away immediately and safely to prevent anyone, especially children, from plugging it into a
wall socket which would be very dangerous.

◆ If the mains lead ever needs replacing, a qualified electrician should replace it with a flexible

cord from the manufacturer.

◆ After you have replaced a fuse in the plug, you must put the fuse cover back on. If you have

lost the fuse cover, you must get a replacement cover. The replacement fuse cover should be
the same colour as the coloured insert in the base of the plug or the colour that is embossed in
words in the base of the plug, or anywhere else on the plug. Always mention this colour when
you order a replacement fuse cover.

◆ Only 5-amp replacement fuses which are ASTA approved to BS 1362 should be fitted.

Caution:

When you are using this video on AC 230V ~ mains supply, please remember
that when the video is on stand-by, it is not disconnected from the mains
supply. However, it is perfectly safe to leave the video connected to the mains
supply.

This symbol means that this unit is double insulated, an earth connection
is not necessary.

Caution :
To prevent electric shock, do not remove any covers.

Caution:
There are no parts inside which you can repair yourself. Always get a

qualified service engineer to carry out any repairs.

Problem-solving guide

The video has the time or - -.- - on the display

If while you are setting up the video, the timer or - -.- - is in the display, the video is switched off
or has already gone through the autoset procedure (OK has already been pressed). In this case,
please turn to page 7 and carry out step 2 until you see the manual tuning screen.

The arrow will not go to preset in the menu

If the arrow will not go to preset, come out of the menu completely by following the on-screen
instructions and press AV on the video remote control until P-_ _ is displayed. P-_ _ will be
displayed on the front of the video where the time normally is displayed.

A blue screen is displayed when you switch the video on

If a blue screen appears when you switch the video on, the AV button has been pressed. Press AV
on the remote control until P-_ _ appears on the display of the video, or until a TV picture is
displayed.

The video has lost programmed channels

If the video has lost the programmed channels, check whether the video has been switched off. If
the video is left with no power for up to eight hours, you can press the MENU button when the
autoset screen appears to bring back the original settings. See page 8 for how to set time and
date.

The timer light stays on the display, even though the recording has finished

If the timer light stays on even though the recording has finished, this is because PDC takes into
account a delay in recording for up to 24 hours.

The TV/VCR button on the video remote control will not work

This button will only work if the TV has the appropriate internal switch.

The television will not change channel when the video is turned on

If the television will not change channel while the video is on, check whether a scart lead has
been connected. (See page 4 option 2)

If a scart lead has been connected, you need to press the TV/VCR button on the video remote
control. When the small VCR symbol appears on the display, you can only change channel by using
the video remote control.

If the TV/VCR button on the video remote control does not work, read the instruction book for the
TV to find out about an audio video button.

The video has a number other than 52 when RF appears

A number other than 52 might be displayed on the video when RF is flashing in the display. This
means that the number has been adjusted in the past.

The TV needs to be tuned in to get the blue auto set or auto search screen.
