This video recorder is intended for reception, recor­ding, and reproduction of picture and sound signals. Any other application is expressly prohibited.
Ń
!
If the recorder is exposed to drastic temperature changes, for example taking it from a cold to a warm place, connect the recorder to the mains sup­ply and let it stand at the new place for at least two hours without a cassette loaded.
Ń
!
Place the recorder on a flat and hard surface. Do not place the recorder on a mat or anything
similar. Do not place any objects (e.g. newspapers) on the recorder as this would cover the ventilation slits which are necessary for cooling.
Ń
!
Do not place the recorder in the immediate vicinity of a heat source or in direct sunlight, as this would also prevent appropriate cooling.
Keep the recorder away from magnetic fields (e.g. loudspeakers).

Do not expose the recorder or the cassette to any moisture. The recorder 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 recorder. The object might fall over and the liquid spilling into the unit would impair its electrical safety.
Ń
!
Thunderstorms are a danger for any electrical appli­ance. Even when switched off, the recorder 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.
Ń
!
Never insert any foreign objects into the cassette compartment or the ventilation slits. This might damage the sensitive mechanism.
Ń
!
Warning! Lithium battery in the video recorder Tampering may result in explosion.
The battery may be changed only by qualified per­sonnel (as described in the “Service Manual”).
Ń
!
Never open the recorder. Damage caused by unqualified manipulation is not covered by the manufacturer’s guarantee.

Tuning the TV set to the recorder
The TV set receives programmes from different stations on certain channels.
The recorder also transmits on such a channel (bet­ween channels 30 and 40 ± 2 channels in the UHF band) to which the TV set must now be tuned. A “transmitter” is installed in the recorder to assist you in finding this channel.
Ń
!
This adjustment is not necessary if the recorder and the TV set are connected with a EURO-AV cable (see chapter “Connecting” on page 3).
If necessary, switch the recorder’s transmitter off to prevent picture interference, see chapter on this page.

Tuning TV stations
Television stations broadcast programmes on diffe­rent frequencies/channels.
The recorder has a built-in receiver. It can thus receive and record television programmes indepen­dently of the TV set.
First, you must tune your recorder to the channels used by the different TV stations.
99 programme positions are available. They can be occupied as required with TV stations from the aeri­al or a cable connection.
A number of options are available for tuning:
1. By transfer of data from the TV set. The TV set must be provided with Megalogic functions.
2. With the automatic tuning system (ATS euro plus). The recorder 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.
3. By entering data directly.
4. By searching manually, for example if there are new TV stations, or if the recorder cannot find a TV station with the automatic tuning system.
Accepting data from the TV set (Megalogic function)
If the recorder is connected to a TV set with Mega­logic function, the recorder automatically accepts the TV programmes that are stored in the TV set. To enable the recorder to this, you must carry out the following steps in the order indicated.
Ń
!
Recorder and TV set must be connected with the EURO-AV cable provided with your recorder, and the TV set must be switched on.
Remove the plug for the recorder from the mains.
Re-insert the plug for the recorder into the mains. – The recorder automatically accepts the TV
programmes from the TV set. Thus the recorder will have the same programme position assignments as the TV set.

Special features of sound recording
r
The different audio tracks of your recorder
Your recorder has two different recording and play­back systems for the audio track.
The hifi or helical track is for stereo and two-chan­nel recordings.
The mono or longfitudinal track is for sound repro­duction on standard VHS recorders and for dub­bing.
Ń
!
The sound is recorded on both audio tracks during recording.
r
Two-channel-sound TV broadcasts
Both sound channels are always recorded on the helical track. Sound channel 1 is recorded on the longitudinal track. The recorder automatically switches to sound chan­nel 1 for two-channel broadcasts. The sound channel can be selected using the
¢
AUDIO button and checked using the TV set.
r

TIMER Recording
The options for TIMER programming
The recorder can be programmed to record at a later date.
r
You can programme:
– Six broadcasts over a period of 31 days, – Daily or weekly broadcasts with the same starting
time, – With or without VPS/PDC control. – with standard or long playing time.
r
You can choose from two variants:
1. With the ShowView system.
2. With the user guide and manual data entry.
r
VPS/PDC – the Video Programme System
VPS/PDC control when programming recording guarantees that your desired broadcasts are always recorded completely.
Incorrect recording resulting from programme alte­rations no longer occurs.
r
Notes on TIMER programming with
VPS/PDC
Many TV stations broadcast an additional program­me-related signal (VPS/PDC signal) which indicates the start and duration of each individual TV pro­gramme.
It is therefore important when programming the recorder to enter the switch-on and switch-off times to the exact minute.
If TV programmes are altered or moved, special VPS/PDC times are indicated in the programme over-views. They must be entered instead of the normal starting times.
The recorder recognizes these alterations and is switched on at the actual start of the programme and switched off at the actual end of the programme.
r
Programming a number of TV programmes on one day
If you wish to record a number of TV programmes on one day, you must decide which one is to be recorded completely if there is a risk of alterations to timing.
Example:
You wish to record the 1st station from 20:15 to 21:45 Uhr and the 2nd station from 21:50 to 22:30. But the programme from the 1st station is extended by 15 minutes. The recorder records this program­me until 22:00, controlled by the VPS/PDC signal. Only then does it switch to the second station. So 10 minutes of the second programme are missing.
If the programme from the 2nd station is to be recorded from the beginning you must delete VPS/PDC control when programming the 1st stati­on. The length of the recording is then controlled by the switch-on and switch-off times.
Recording of the 1st station then ends at 21:45. And recording of the 2nd station starts at 21:50.
r
Programming all evening programmes on one day
You wish to record all the evening programmes on ARD (for example Saturday starting at 20:15, enter­tainment programme, winning Lotto numbers, film). In this case you must use a separate TIMER position for each of these programmes. Otherwise the recorder would stop recording at the end of the first programme – controlled by the VPS/PDC-Sig­nal.
If you only wish to use one TIMER position for all evening programmes (for example from 20:15 to 00:15) you must delete VPS/PDC control when pro­gramming.
How to confirm and delete the VPS/PDC signal is explained in the programming examples.
Ń
!
When recording TV stations which do not broad­cast a VPS/PDC signal, the recording is started by the set switch-on time only and stopped by the set switch-off time only.
Ń
!
If you use an aerial positioner and pre-programme satellite programmes from different satellites, you should programme the VPS/PDC control for only one programme. Reason: If two satellite programmes from different satellites are pre-programmed with VPS/PDC control, the satellite aerial constantly moves back and forth bet­ween the satellite positions. This can lead to an overload of the aerial motor.
