1. Connecting the TV-Video Combi
Important for the United Kingdom
This apparatus is fitted with a BS1362 5 Amp
inside an approved moulded 13 Amp plug.
To replace a fuse in this type of plug proceed as
follows:
1.Remove fuse cover and fuse.
1.
2.Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A,
2.
ASTA or BSI approved type.
3.Refit the fuse cover.
3.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket
outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate
plug fitted in its place. If the mains plug contains
a fuse, this should have a value of 5A. If a plug
without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5A.
The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a
possible shock hazard, or should it be inserted
into a 13A socket elsewhere
How to connect a plug:
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
BLUE- ‘NEUTRAL’ (‘N’)
BROWN- ‘LIVE’ (‘L’)
4.The BLUE wire must be connected to the ter-
4.
minal which is marked with the letter ‘N’ or
coloured BLACK.
5.The BROWN wire must be connected to the
5.
terminal which is marked with the letter ‘L’ or
coloured RED.
6.Do not connect either wires to the earth ter-
6.
minal in the plug which is marked with the letter ‘E’ or by the safety earth symbol
coloured green or green-and-yellow.
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain
that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of
the lead-not simply over the two wires

Automatic switch-off of special functions
Many functions (e.g. pause, still picture) switch
themselves off automatically after a short time
in order to protect the cassette and to save
energy.
Playing back NTSC cassettes
This TV-Video Combi can also play back cassettes that have been recorded in SP [Standard
Play] or SLP [Super Long Play] mode in the
NTSC standard (for example, American cassettes). However, this only works on PAL-television sets that are suitable for a picture frequency
of 60Hz.

minutes and seconds.
SP/LP: will show the recorded speed of your

reset to ‘0:00:00’.
The counter does not move
This occurs when there are no recordings on a
portion of a tape. This is not a fault in your TVVideo Combi.
The screen shows ‘-0:01:20’
If you rewind a cassette from the tape position
‘0:00:00’, the counter will show for instance,
‘-0:01:20’ (the cassette was rewound to 1
minute and 20 seconds before ‘0:00:00’).
‘-:--’ is displayed in the ‘REM’ counter
This counter will automatically recognise the
length of the tape. In addition, when you put in
a cassette, the TV-Video Combi will first calculate the time played back. Therefore, ‘-:--’
appears first and only after the tape has been
running for a few seconds, the correct remaining time will be shown.

Preventing accidental erasing
All cassettes (except rental
and pre-recorded cassettes)
have a security tab on the
back of the cassette.
To prevent recording over
important recordings (erasing), you can remove this security tab.
If you later decide to record on a protected cassette, simply cover the hole with adhesive tape
or slide the tab to the right.
Lining up recordings (assemble cut)
When you add a further recording to a cassette,
which already has a recording on it, a short blank
(flicker) can appear between the old and the new
recording or the picture itself can flicker. To help
reduce these from occurring, proceed as follows:

General information
Use a TIMER programming to automatically start
and stop a recording at a later time or date. The
TV-Video Combi will switch to the right programme number and begin recording at the correct time. With this TV-Video Combi, you can
pre-programme up to eight recordings within a
period of one year. To make a programmed
recording, your TV-Video Combi needs to know:
* the date you want to make the recording
* the programme number of the TV channel
* the start and stop time of the recording
* PDC on or off
This information is saved in a ‘TIMER’ block.
What is ‘PDC’?
‘PDC’ (Programme Delivery Control) is used to
control the start and duration of TV channel
recordings. If a TV programme starts earlier or
ends later than scheduled, the TV-Video Combi
will turn on and off at the correct time.
What do I need to know about ‘PDC’?
Usually the PDC time is the same as the start
time. But if your TV guide shows a PDC time
which is different from the programme’s scheduled start time, e.g. 20.10 (PDC 20.14), you
must enter the PDC time exactly to the minute.
If you want a start time different from the PDC
time, you must switch PDC off.

If, contrary to expectation, you have any problems using this TV-Video Combi, it may be
caused by the following reasons.
Your TV-Video Combi does not respond to
any button being pressed:
• There is no power supply: check the power
supply.
•Parental control is on: switch the parental control off.
•A programmed recording is currently being
made: if desired, cancel the programmed
recording. Please see the section ‘Problems
and solutions for programmed recordings’ in
chapter ‘Programming a recording (TIMER)’.
• There is a technical problem: disconnect from
the mains power supply for 5 minutes, then
power-up again.
If this doesn’t help, you could reset your TVVideo Combi to the default factory settings.
