Safety
• Position your Video Recorder so that no bright light or sunlight falls directly onto it.
• Care should be taken not to expose your Video Recorder to any unnecessary vibration, moisture, dust or heat.
• During electrical storms it is advisable to unplug both the aerial cable and mains plug to prevent accidental damage to your Video Recorder and TV.
• Do not operate your Video Recorder if it is damaged.
• If your Video Recorder still does not operate properly, unplug it and call your dealer. Your VCR should not be repaired by anyone except qualified service personnel.
• Never remove the top cover of your Video Recorder as this can expose you to very high voltage and other hazards.
• Ensure that your Video Recorder is placed in a position to allow a free flow of air.
• The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liq­uids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
This product is manufac­tured to comply with EMC Directive 2004/108/EC Low Voltage Directive and 2006/95/EC.

Cleaning
1 Unplug the Video Recorder from
the mains supply.
2 Clean the cabinet with a soft
damp cloth, do not apply liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
Never spray cleaning liquids on or near the Video Recorder.
Video head cleaning
Whenever a video cassette is inserted into or ejected from your Video the video head is automatically cleaned. This should mean that additional head cleaning should not be necessary. However dirt accumulating on the head after a long period of time can cause the playback picture to become blurred or broken up. High quality video cassette tapes will not normally
deposit dirt onto the video head, but old or damaged tapes might.

Connecting to a television and satellite receiver
The information given here refers to the two most common forms of connection. Make sure that all the appliances are unplugged from the mains power, before making any connections to avoid causing damage to your equipment.
Using a SCART cable to connect your appliances will give you the best sound and picture quality.
Connection guide
Roof aerial
Your outside aerial should be connected to the AERIAL socket of your Video Recorder.
Coaxial cable
If you are using the coaxial cable a connection needs to be made from the RF.OUT socket on your Video Recorder to the aerial socket on your television.
SCART socket
If you have a SCART socket connection on your television you can connect the television’s SCART socket to the EURO AV 1 socket on the back of the Video Recorder.
Satellite receiver
Your Satellite Receiver should attach using a SCART cable to the EURO AV 2 socket on the back of the Video Recorder.
Decoder
Some TV broadcasters transmit encoded television signals which you can only see with a purchased or rented decoder. You can connect such a decoder (descrambler) to your Video Recorder.
Tune a video channel
If you are using a SCART connection then the video picture will be shown on the AV channel of your television.
If you are using a Coaxial cable you need to select a TV channel on your Television and tune it to the Video Recorder signal, a bright blue screen. Please consult your Television User Guide for information on how to do this.
If you have trouble attaining a good picture it may be that the output frequency of the Video Recorder (UHF 36) is already in use by your television. To change this:
Press POWER on the Remote Control to put the Video Recorder on standby then press and hold PROG. 3 or 4 on the front of your VCR for more than 4 seconds. RF CHANNEL 36 will appear on your television screen. Press PROG. 3 or 4 on the Video Recorder to select another frequency channel. Select any number between 22 and 68. Tune as normal.
You can also set it to “OFF” if there is any interference when your TV is connected to the VCR with a SCART cable.
You should use either a Coaxial connection or a SCART connection between your Video Recorder and Television.

Tuning and adjusting TV stations manually
You may prefer to tune your television manually. Manual tuning can be more effective if the television signal in your area is too weak for the ACMS to work properly. You can also fine tune your channels and customise the channel names.

Video Recorder. Select the video channel on your television and press to access the main menu.
2 Press either 1 or 2 to select PR
SET then press OK.
3 Press again and the television
station table will then appear.

the programme number you want to tune then press OK.
5 Select the CH section (if not
already selected) by using the 1 or 2 buttons and then press AV to select C (Standard stations) or S (Cable stations).

through the channel numbers to find the required station.

can then name your station.

station name list. Use the 3 or 4 buttons to select a station name from the list. Press OK to select it.

on page 5.
