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.

CONNECTION AND PREPARATION
Inserting batteries in the remote control
1 Open the battery compartment by pressing the tab and
removing the lid.
2 When inserting the batteries (mignon type, for example
LR 6 or AA, 2 x1,5 V), observe the polarity designation on
the battery compartment.
Note:
If the video recorder no longer reacts properly to remote
control commands the batteries may be flat. Always remove
flat batteries. No liability is accepted for damage resulting
from leaking batteries.
Environmental note
Batteries, including those which are heavy metal-free, may
not be disposed of with household waste. Please dispose of
used batteries in an environmentally sound way, for example at public collection points. Find out about the legal regulations which apply in your area.

Connection possibilities
In this section you will find examples for connecting:
– a video recorder and television set;
– a video recorder, television set and a Grundig VCR-SAT
module;
– a video recorder, television set and Grundig satellite receiver.
Instructions for connecting other devices, such as a decoder, a
HiFi system or a satellite receiver, without a control line can be
found starting on Page 36.
Notes:
If your television is equipped with Megalogic functions,
the video recorder and television set must be connected
with the EURO-AV cable provided; see step 3, page 11
and 12, or step 7, page 15.
If the video recorder is connected to a television set with
a 16:9 format, observe the setting in the section, ”Operation with a format 16:9 television” on page 56.

which does not carry a signal from a television station (you
can only see and hear static).
– Many televisions display the channel number.
5 Press »
press and hold down »i«.
– The display on the video recorder reads something like

«.
6 Set the channel (in this example, channel 29) by pressing
» * P Ü « on the video recorder, until the test picture from
the video recorder appears on your television screen.
7 If the quality of the test picture is OK, press »i« to save the
setting.
– The video switches to stand-by.
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 51.
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.
If a VCR-SAT module or a satellite receiver with a SAT
control socket is connected to the video recorder, the stations
received through the VCR-SAT module or the satellite receiver
are saved in the station list, in addition to the stations received
through the antenna or the cable connection.
Note:
The VCR-SAT module or satellite receiver must be connected
before the settings are made, see Page 12 or 14.
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.
But the programs are not transferred if the »SAT CONTROL
ON« setting is selected in the »SAT RECEIVER« menu.
Switch on the television.
Select the channel position »AV« on the television for the video
recorder.

RECORDING
Four recording options:
Your video recorder provides you with four different options for
recording television programmes:
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 use a rotating dish and enter the recording data for television programs from different satellite positions, you can only
program the VPS signal for the television program of one satellite position, otherwise the motor of the rotating satellite dish
may become overloaded.
