Connect all the cables as shown in the illustration, then connect the AC Mains lead (part of the package) to an AC wall outlet. To be able to receive TV programmes it is mandatory to connect the RF-Coaxial Cable even if the video recorder is connected by a 21-pin scart cable.

If you decide to just use the RF-Coaxial Cable to connect the TV set you must adjust the video output channel with the TV set's input channel.

Switch on the video recorder

Press the MENU button for approx. 7 seconds. The preset channel appears on the display.

Tune the TV set until the test pattern appears. If there is any interference select another channel for the TV set and video recorder.

Press the CH button to change the channel (e.g. to 39).

Tune the TV set until the test pattern appears.

Press ENTER to confirm.
