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
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.
There are 99 channel positions available which can be assigned as required to television stations received via the antenna,
cable connection or satellite receiver.
Note on recording television programs with the
Megalogic function:
If the video recorder is connected to a television set with
Megalogic functions, this setting transfers the programs stored in the television to the video recorder.
