Safety Information, General Notes

2. Safety Information, General Notes

2.1 Description of the Production Number on the type plate

The type plate of the set contains a production number that consists of the following:

Example code

2.1.1 The Site Code (Production center)

The site code consists of 2 letters and relates to the factory assembling and/or equipping the products. The site code letters valid for Consumer Electronics are stated in UAT-0477. The code is used to trace the production site of the model number, e.g. VN...Szekesfehervar KB...Hasselt KT...SBI Electronics Shenzhen

2.1.2 BOM Code

The BOM code is used to link the model to the actual Bill Of Material used for assembly during set production. One set model can be made up of different standard designs / modules. This depends on the material availability in the production or the development progress of the successor modules. Different modules may be used during the same production period or changed back and forth from one week to the other. BOM version 1 gets BOM code 1, BOM version 2 gets BOM code 2, etc. Allowed codes are 1-9, A-Z.

2.1.3 Service Version Change Code

The service version change code, which has to be recognizable for service and production departments, is used to indicate a production change that is considered as a major change affecting the “serviceability” of the product. A major change is occurring when a safety component is changed or when the servicer needs additional information to repair the set. E.g. when the software is changed or when an IC and its peripheral circuit are changed. Allowed characters are (A-Z, 0-

9) to be used in the following sequence: A-Z followed by 0-9.

2.1.4 Production year/week code

Indicates the actual week of set assembly. Made up of the last two digits of year plus production week.

2.1.5 Serial number

Safety regulations require that after a repair, you must return the unit in its original condition. Pay, in particular, attention to the following points:

• Route the wires/cables correctly, and fix them with the mounted cable clamps.

• Check the insulation of the mains lead for external damage.

• Check the electrical DC resistance between the mains plug and the secondary side:

1. Unplug the mains cord, and connect a wire between

the two pins of the mains plug.

2. Set the mains switch to the 'on' position (keep the

mains cord unplugged!).

3. Measure the resistance value between the mains plug

and the front panel, controls, and chassis bottom.

4. Repair or correct unit when the resistance

measurement is less than 1 MΩ.

5. Verify this, before you return the unit to the customer/

user (ref. UL-standard no. 1492).

6. Switch the unit ‘off’, and remove the wire between the

two pins of the mains plug.

2.2.2 Laser Safety

This unit employs a laser. Only qualified service personnel may remove the cover, or attempt to service this device (due to possible eye injury).

2.2 Safety Instructions

2.2.1 General Safety

Safety regulations require that during a repair:

• Connect the unit to the mains via an isolation transformer.

• Replace safety components, indicated by the symbol , only by components identical to the original ones. Any other component substitution (other than original type) may increase risk of fire or electrical shock hazard.

2.3 Warnings

2.3.1 General

• All ICs and many other semiconductors are susceptible to electrostatic discharges (ESD, ). Careless handling during repair can reduce life drastically. Make sure that, during repair, you are at the same potential as the mass of the set by a wristband with resistance. Keep components and tools at this same potential. Available ESD protection equipment: – Complete kit ESD3 (small tablemat, wristband,

connection box, extension cable and earth cable) 4822 310 10671.

EN 7HDRW720/0x, DVDR725H/0x 2.

– Wristband tester 4822 344 13999.

• Be careful during measurements in the live voltage section. The primary side of the power supply (pos. 1005), including the heatsink, carries live mains voltage when you connect the player to the mains (even when the player is 'off'!). It is possible to touch copper tracks and/or components in this unshielded primary area, when you service the player. Service personnel must take precautions to prevent touching this area or components in this area. A 'lightning stroke' and a stripe-marked printing on the printed wiring board, indicate the primary side of the power supply.

• Never replace modules, or components, while the unit is ‘on’.

2.3.2 Laser

• The use of optical instruments with this product, will increase eye hazard.

• Only qualified service personnel may remove the cover or attempt to service this device, due to possible eye injury.

• Repair handling should take place as much as possible with a disc loaded inside the player.

• Text below is placed inside the unit, on the laser cover shield:

To receive TV programmes you have to connect the DVD-recorder to

the aerial or the cable network.

If you want to connect additional devices (e.g. satellite receiver...) only

via aerial cable, please observe the following:

The DVD-Recorder must be connected directly to the TV set. If there

is a video recorder or an additional device in between, the picture

quality may be poor because of the copy protection system built into

If there is interference in the picture when the additional device is

switched on, a TV broadcaster may be transmitting on the same

channel or a channel very close to that of the additional device. (e.g.:

TV broadcaster on channel 45, additional device (satellite receiver)

also on channel 45). In this case, change the channel of the additional

device (satellite receiver). Consult the instruction manual of the

additional device.

You must also store this channel on the DVD recorder to be able to

record TV programmes from the additional device (satellite receiver).

Switch on the additional device during the installation of the DVD

recorder. During the automatic channel search, the channel on which

the additional device is transmitting will be stored as a TV channel.

Why can't I use the 'VCR', 'TO VCR',... socket?

In order to achieve the best possible picture quality, you must use the

RGB (red-green-blue) signal of the receiver. As a rule, this signal is

available at the 'TV', 'TO TV',... socket. The DVD recorder transfers the

signal to the EXT1 TO TV-I/O socket.

Some receivers only provide a 'Video (CVBS/FBAS)' signal at the 'VCR',

If you are satisfied with the picture quality of the 'VCR', 'TO VCR',...

at the sockets.

General information

The 'Disc Manager' is an integrated database in the DVD recorder that

remembers all recordings made by this DVD recorder. This gives you a

complete overview of your entire video collection at the touch of a

button. The Disc Manager gives you quick and easy access to every

recording made with this DVD recorder. The Disc Manager also

tells you which film was recorded on which disc and how many

unrecorded minutes remain on the discs.

And: You can go automatically to the beginning of the selected

recording and start playback.

How many discs can I save in the Disc Manager?

You can store up to 999 discs on this DVD recorder. The maximum number

of titles is more than 9,000. The maximum number of titles per disc is 49.

Caution when recording with other DVD recorders

Don't use a disc stored in the Disc Manager for recording on other DVD

recorders. If you use a disc to record on another DVD recorder, then this

disc will no longer be recognised by the Disc Manager. In this case, delete

the disc from the Disc Manager's memory and then add it after it has been

recorded.

General

When a recording is made to disc, the following additional information

is also stored at the beginning of the recording:

•) Name of the recording

If a name has not been assigned to the TV channel, only the programme

number and time are stored as the name

•) Length of the recording

•) Record type (Quality)

•) Date of the recording

•) Index picture of the recording

A marker will be set every 5-6 minutes if the 'Auto chapters' function

is activated in the 'Record settings' menu. This marker is known as a

'chapter'.

These markers can be changed when the recording has finished.

Markers can be set on these discs if they have not been finalised.

It is also possible to add 'chapters' later. This means that scenes you do

not want to see during playback, such as commercials, can be hidden or

skipped. During playback you can watch your recording as a continuous

sequence without the hidden chapters.
