Safety Information, General Notes

2. Safety Information, General Notes

2.1 Safety Instructions

2.1.1 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.

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.

2.1.2 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 Warnings

2.2.1 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.

– 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’.

2.2.2 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:

The remote control and its batteries are packed separately in the original DVD recorder

packaging. You must install the batteries in the remote control before use - described in the

following section.

1 Take the remote control and the enclosed batteries (2 batteries).

2 Open the battery compartment, insert the batteries as shown and

then close the battery compartment.

The remote control is now ready to use.

set

The necessary cable connections must be made before you can record or playback TV

programmes using your DVD recorder.

Connect the DVD recorder directly to your TV set. If there is a video recorder in between

the picture quality may be poor.

We recommend that you use a scart cable to connect your TV set and DVD recorder.

What is a scart cable?

The scart or Euro AV cable serves as the universal connector for picture,

sound and control signals. With this type of connection, there is practically no

loss of quality in picture or sound transmission.

only ever protect the entire disc. You cannot protect individual recordings.

Lining up recordings within a title

(assemble cut)

On a recorded DVD+RW disc you can add another recording to an existing title. This recording

is added to the title as a 'chapter'. The existing information will be overwritten starting from this

point. Titles will also be overwritten that follow the current title depending on the length of the

new recording. The recording type (Quality) will be taken from the current title.

What happens with DVD+R discs?

New recordings on 'DVD+R' discs can only be added after existing recordings.

It is not possible to overwrite existing recordings on 'DVD+R' discs.

To play back this recording, press SYSTEM-MENU and use the C button to select the 'C'

(Chapter) symbol. You can also use the T/C key.
