Contents TVR 5100 GB

Your TVR is intended for the reception, recording, and reproduction of TV picture and sound signals. Any other application is expressly prohibited.

If the TVR is exposed to drastic temperature changes, for example taking it from a cold to a warm place, connect the TVR to the mains supply and let it stand at the new place for at least two hours without a cassette loaded.

Place the TVR on a flat and hard surface. Do not place the TVR on a mat or anything soft. Do

not place any objects (e.g. newspapers) on the TVR as this would cover the ventilation slots which must not be obstructed.

Do not place the TVR in the immediate vicinity of a heat source or in direct sunlight, as this would also prevent appropriate cooling.

Keep the TVR away from magnetic fields (e.g. loudspeakers).

°C

Do not expose the TVR or the cassette to any moisture. The TVR is intended for use in dry rooms. If you wish to operate it in the open air, make absolutely sure that it is protected against moisture (rain, splashes of water). Do not place any object filled with water (vases and similar) on the TVR. The object might fall over and the liquid spilling into the unit would impair its electrical safety.

Thunderstorms are a danger for any electrical appliance. Even when switched off, the TVR might be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains supply and/or the aerial lead. During a thunderstorm you should always disconnect the mains and aerial plugs.

For improved protection, your aerial system should conform to BSI. CP 6330. 1983.

Never insert any foreign objects into the cassette compartment or the ventilation slots. This might damage the sensitive mechanism.

Never open the TVR. Damage caused by unqualified work is not covered by the manufacturer’s guarantee.

The ideal viewing distance is five times the diagonal measurement of the screen.

Information for Units sold in Great Britain

Units sold in GB are suitable for operation from a 230V AC (± 10%), 50 Hz mains supply. A non-rewirable 13 Amp (BS 1363) 3-pin plug is fitted with a 5 Amp ASTA or BSI approved BS 1362 fuse. If any other type of plug is used it must be protected by a 5 Amp fuse either in the plug or at the distribution board. If this type of plug becomes defective ensure that the fuse is removed, before disposal, to eliminate a potential shock hazard. If it is necessary to change the fuse in the nonrewirable plug, the correct type and rating (5 Amp ASTA or BSI approved BS 1362) must be used. If your household is not equipped with a 13A ring mains supply, consult a qualified electrician before the value of fuses are changed. The recommended fuse rating in normal cases is 5 Amps (ASTA approved).

Important:

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

BLUE – NEUTRAL BROWN – LIVE As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance may not correspond with the colour code identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: Connect the BLUE wire to the plug terminal marked with a letter ”N” or word ”black”. Connect the BROWN wire to the plug terminal marked with a letter ”L” or word ”red”. In no circumstance must any of the wires be connected to the terminal marked with a letter ”E”, earth symbol V, ”green” or ”green and yellow” colours. If the mains lead/plug is damaged, it must be replaced. Replacement mains leads can be obtained from your dealer, or by contacting Grundig Consumer Relations on 01788 577155.

Inserting the batteries into the remote control

Remove the cover from the battery compartment.

Insert the batteries.

Observe correct polarity; marked on the bottom of the battery compartment.

If your TVR no longer responds correctly to the remote control commands, the battery may be exhausted.

An exhausted battery must be removed immediately. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage resulting from battery leakage.

Exhausted batteries must be handed over to a special waste collecting point (environmental protection).

To receive these programmes, you must tune your TVR to the channels used by the different TV stations.

69 programme positions are available. They can be tuned as required to TV stations from the aerial or a cable connection.

Two options are available for tuning:

1. With the automatic tuning system (ATS euro

plus/ACI). The TVR searches, sorts, and stores all channels/special channels which can be received at its location. This procedure depends on the language and country you select, as well as the quality of reception of the TV stations.

If you are not satisfied with the order in which the TV stations are allocated, the order can be changed later.

2. By entering data directly.
