SET-UP AND SAFETY

___________________________________

ENGLISH

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

_________________________________________________________________

Setting television channels

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.

There are 99 channel positions available which can be assigned as required to television stations received via the antenna, cable connection or satellite receiver.

There are three options for tuning to television stations: – If you have a Grundig television with the Megalogic

function, the video recorder takes over the television stations from the television – in the same order. If a satellite receiver is

connected, this function cannot be used. – You can tune television channels using an automatic search. – You can tune the television channels manually if you know the

channel numbers of the stations you wish to select. This set-

ting is described in the ”SPECIAL SETTINGS” section on page

43. There you will also find other settings such as sorting,

deleting and naming television channels.

During this setting the clock is automatically updated. However, this is only possible if channel position 1 is occupied by a station with teletext.

Tuning television channels with the Megalogic function

The television and the video recorder must be connected with a EURO-AV (Scart) cable (PIN-10 occupied).

RECORDING

_____________________________________________________

Recording options:

1 Immediate recording, in which you select the required sta-

tion 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 programme you want to record if you do not know the ShowView number.

4 Delayed recording by entering the data in the TIMER menu

of a Grundig television with the Megalogic function. You can find information on using this option in the operating manual that came with your television set.

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 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 programme. 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 re-scheduling.
