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

______________________________________________________________

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 bet-

ween 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.

Note:

When the device is switched on for the first time, »

Auto

flashes in the video recorder display. Keep pressing »i« until »--:--« appears in the display.

5 Press »

« to switch the video recorder to stand-by mode,

and then press and hold down »i«. – The display on the video recorder, for example »

CH 21

«.

6 Set the channel using » * P Ü « on the video recorder.

– The test picture of the video recorder appears on the

television screen.

7 If the quality of the test picture is OK, press »OK« 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 3 to 7.

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 52.

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.

The options:

– 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

setting is described in the ”SPECIAL SETTINGS” section on

page 51. 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.

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 13 or 15.

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.

This transfer does not take place if you select »SAT CONTROL ON« in the »SAT RECEIVER« menu.
