SET-UP AND SAFETY
______________________________________________
This video recorder is designed to receive, record and play back video and
audio signals.
Any other use is expressly prohibited.
If the video recorder is subject to sudden changes in temperature, for example if
it is brought in from the cold to a warm room, connect it to the mains supply and
let it stand for at least two hours before you insert a video cassette.
The video recorder is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it in the open,
please ensure that it is protected from moisture, such as rain or water splashes.
Do not expose the video recorder or cassettes to moisture.
Place the video recorder on a hard, level surface. Do not place any objects
(newspapers, for example) on top of the video recorder or any cloth or similar
items underneath it.
Do not place the video recorder near heating units or in direct sunlight, as this
will impair cooling. Keep the video recorder away from devices which generate
magnetic fields, such as loudspeakers.
Do not insert any foreign objects into the video tape compartment, as this may
damage its precision mechanics.
Do not place any vessels such as vases on the video recorder as they may spill
liquid and present an electrical safety risk.
Thunderstorms present a danger to all electrical devices. Even when the video
recorder is switched off it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains or
antenna cable. Always disconnect the mains and antenna plugs during a storm.
Do not open the video recorder casing under any circumstances. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage resulting from improper handling.

TUNING
_________________________________________________________________________________
Tuning the video recorder and the television
You do not need to do this if the video recorder and the television are connected
via a EURO-AV (Scart) cable.
1 Switch on the television.
2 Select the »AV« channel position on the television set for recorder playback
via the antenna cable.
3 Tune the television to a free channel in the UHF band between channel 21
and channel 69. A free channel is one which does not carry a signal from a
television station (you can only see and hear static).
– Many televisions display the channel number.
4 Store the free channel position on the television.
5 Press »
88
« to switch the video recorder to standby, then press and hold down
»INFO «.
– The display on the video recorder reads something like »

picture from the video recorder on the television screen.
7 If the quality of the test picture is OK, press »OK « to save the setting.
– The video switches to standby.
Note:
If the quality of the test picture is unsatisfactory, or if the picture quality of
other channels has deteriorated, then you should find another free channel
on the television and repeat the setting from steps 1 to 5.
You can switch off the station on the video recorder. Fore more information
see the ”Switching the station on the video recorder on and off” on Page 46.

TUNING
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Automatic channel tuning (using ATS euro plus)
The video recorder has its own receiver unit. It can receive and record from
television stations independently of the television.
This means you must tune the television stations on the video recorder.
During this setting the clock is automatically updated. However, this is only
possible if channel position 1 on the video recorder is occupied by a station with
teletext.
If the clock is not updated, set it manually, referring to the ”Setting the date and
time” section on page 47.
There are 99 channel positions available which can be assigned as required to
television stations received via the antenna, cable connection or satellite receiver.
Preparation
Switch on the television.
Select the channel position »AV« on the television for the video recorder.
Automatic tuning
1 Press » ■«.

RECORDING
_______________________________________________________________________
Three recording options:
Your video recorder provides you with three options for recording television
programmes:
1 Immediate recording, in which you select the required station on the video
recorder and start recording immediately.
2 Delayed recording using ShowView numbers.
3 Delayed recording by entering the date, time and channel of the program
you want to record if you do not know the ShowView number.
With recording options 2 and 3 you can set the video to record up to six
programmes as much as a year in advance,
or record programmes at the same time every day or week.
The programmes you choose are recorded using the video programming
system (VPS), which works with special signals transmitted by the television
stations.
The Video Programming System (VPS/PDC)
This system guarantees successful recording when you set the VCR in advance to
tape a broadcast.
Many television stations broadcast a supplementary signal (VPS/PDC signal)
which indicates the start and duration of each individual television program.
When you are programming the video recorder, it is therefore important to
enter the times when it is to switch on and off to the nearest minute.
If television programmes are changed or re-scheduled, then special VPS/PDC
times which must be entered instead of the scheduled times are detailed in the
television guides.
In the case of television stations which do not transmit a VPS/PDC signal,
recording depends solely on the times set for the video recorder to switch on and
off. This is regardless of whether you confirm or delete the VPS/PDC signal
when you program the video recorder.
If you want to record several programs from different television stations, you
should decide which should take priority in the case of overlaps due to rescheduling.
