2. SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

Use of your receiver is subject to safety measures designed to protect users and their environment.

2-1 WHERE TO PUT YOUR TERMINAL?

In order to guarantee the correct operation of your receiver, you must:

• place it indoors to protect it from lightning, rain, and sun rays,

• place it in a dry and well ventilated area,

• keep it away from heat sources such as radiators, candles, lamps, etc.

• protect it from dampness, place it on a flat surface from where it will not fall and is out of reach of the children,

• do not place anything on top of your receiver (as it would restrict ventilation): the ventilation slots located on the casing prevent your receiver from overheating. If you place the receiver in a compartment, leave a space of at least 10 cm on each side and 20 cm on the front and back of the receiver,

• connect it directly to the mains with the provided cords, the socket must be near the receiver and easy to access. The use of an extension cable (with multi-points) is not recommended.

2-2 WARININGS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

NEVER OPEN THE RECEIVER OR THE POWER SUPPLY UNIT! YOU RISK GETTING AN ELECTRIC SHOCK.

• Use only the power supply unit supplied with the receiver to connect it to the mains. Other practice may be dangerous.

• As a precaution, in case of danger, the power supply unit act as a disconnecting mechanism for the 230V power supply. That is why it is imperative that you connect the receiver to a power outlet located nearby and easily accessible.

• You must imperatively connect the power supply unit to the receiver before connecting the power supply unit to the power socket.

• To avoid short-circuits (fire or electrocution hazard), do not expose your receiver to dampness. Do not place any object containing liquid (vase for example) on the appliance. The receiver must not be splashed with liquid. If liquid is upset onto the receiver, unplug it immediately from the mains and consult your supplier.

• Take care not to allow liquids or metal objects to enter the receiver through the ventilation slots.

• Avoid reconnecting the receiver after it has been subjected to large changes in temperature.

• The receiver must be disconnected from mains supply (from the power outlet or rear panel) before any modification of connection between TV, VCR or antenna.

- 2 -

Page 6

• In the event of a storm, it is advisable to unplug the antenna. Even if the receiver and the television set are disconnected from the power supply, lightning can still damage them.

Only a personnel approved by the manufacturer can repair the receiver. The non-observance o f these safety precautions can result in forfeiture of the guarantee.

2-3 BATTERIES

Batteries are easily swallowed by young children. Do not allow young children to play with the remote control.

To avoid damaging the remote control, only use identical batteries or batteries of equivalent type. The batteries provided are not rechargeable.

2-4 INTERFERENCE

Do not place the receiver near appliances that may cause electromagnetic interferences (for example loudspeakers). This could affect receiver operation and distort the picture or sound.

2-5 HARD DISK

This equipment contains a hard disk. Please wait for the receiver to go into standby mode before unplugging and moving it.

2-6 STORAGE DEVICES

Please wait until the receiver exits the multimedia list manager (multimedia file application) or is in standby mode before disconnecting your storage devices. Else, you could lose data or damage your storage device.

2-7 CLEANING THE RECEIVER

The case of the receiver can be cleaned with a soft and dry cloth. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvents, such as alcohol or turpentine, as they could damage the surface of the case.

3. ENVIRONMENT

Preservation of the environment is an essential concern of the manufacturer. The desire of the manufacturer is to operate systems observing the environment and consequently it has decided to integrate environmental performances in the life cycle of its products, from manufacturing to commissioning, use and elimination.

3-1 MEANING OF LOGOS PRESENT ON THE PRODUCT OR ITS PACKAGING

The crossed-out dustbin sign stuck on the product or its accessories means that at the end of its life, the product is subject to selective collection and must not be thrown away in unsorted household waste.

The looped arrow sign means that the packaging may be recycled and must not be disposed of with household waste.

The green logo means that a financial contribution is paid to an approved national organisation to improve packaging recovery and recycling infrastructures.

The logo with three arrows shown on the plastic parts means that they may be recycled and that they must not be disposed of with household waste.

3-2 PRODUCT RECYCLING AND DISPOSAL

To facilitate recycling, please respect the sorting rules set up locally for this kind of waste. If your product contains batteries, they must be disposed of at appropriate colle ction points. European regulations ask you to dispose of products belonging to the family of electrical and elec tronic

equipments ( ) selectively:

- At the collection points made available to you locally (drop-off centre, selective collection, etc.),

- At sales points in the event of the purchase of simila r equipment.

In this way you can participate in the re-use and upgrading of Electrical and Electronic Equipment Waste, which can have an effect on the environment and human health.

- 4 -

Page 8

3-3 EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE ON WASTE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC

EQUIPMENT (WEEE)

In the context of sustainable development, the reduction of wastes to be eliminated by reusing, recycling, composting and energy recovery is strongly advised.

In order to comply with this directive which is applicable to EEEs sold after 13/08/2005, your receiver will be taken back free of charge and recycled by the distributor of the EEE within the limits of the quantity and types of equipment bought from them. These appliances which contain substances potentially dangerous to human health and the environment will be recycled.

3-4 DIRECTIVE ON THE RESTRICTION OF USE OF CERTAIN HAZARDOUS

SUBSTANCES IN ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT (ROHS)

Your receiver along with the batteries supplied comply with the directive relating to the RoHS – dangerous materials such as lead, mercury or cadmium are not used. This avoids environmental hazards and any risks to the health of personnel at the recycling centres. The batteries of the remote control can be removed simply.

Note: When the batteries of the remote control are worn out, please dispose of them at a collection point and not with household waste.

3-5 ELECTRICAL CONSUMPTION OF THE RECEIVER

To reduce the consumption of your receiver, you are recommended to place it in standby mode when not in use. We recommend you to turn off the receiver or unplug it from the mains if you will not be using it for a prolonged period of time.

- 5 -

Page 9

4. PREPARATION

4-1 ACCESSORIES PROVIDED

Your receiver is supplied with the following parts:

- 1 remote control

- 2 batteries (AAA) for the remote control

- 1 AC/DC adapter and power cable

- 1 user manual

- 1 Scart lead for connection to the television set

- Depending on the country, 1 Scart-coaxial lead or RCA (YPrPb, CVBS, Audio R and Audio L) for connection to the television set

4-2 TERRESTRIAL ANTENNA

Very often to get the best reception, you may simply need to adjust your antenna. Alternatively, you can connect an indoor antenna to your system. For more information, please contact your specialised distributor.

4-2-1 Standard outdoor antenna

Preferably use an outside roof antenna that is designed to receive VHF channels (6 to 11) and UHF channels (21 to 69). However:

- if your building is equipped with an old antenna model, digital channels may be difficult or even impossible to receive. The problem can only be resolved by changing the antenna.

- if your building is equipped with a common antenna which contains selective filters devised for analogue channels, reception will most probably not work correctly. In this case, you will have to contact the administrator of the building.

- some antennas directed towards an analogue TV transmitter must be re-adjusted towards a digital TV transmitter. If you encounter reception problems, you can also try placing the antenna at different heights.

4-2-2 Indoor antenna

In ideal reception conditions, this type of antenna is sufficient. Here, however, are some useful tips:

- use an antenna designed to receive channels 6 to 11 and 21 to 69.

- install the antenna close to the window and direct it towards the digital TV transmitter.

- if possible, use an antenna with an amplifier. The receiver can provide remote power supply to your indoor antenna (see “Antenna signal”, page 16).

10-3 RECORDING PROGRAMMES USING THE PROGRAMME GUIDE

The advantage of programming a recording using the electronic programme guide is that you can record specific programmes rather than time slots on channels. You will be able to use this function only if the broadcaster provides information on the forthcoming programmes.

10-3-1 Recording modes: Timer or Programme

The receiver can handle two programme recording modes using the electronic programme guide: recording at a fixed time (Timer mode) or by event (Programme mode).

Timer mode

By programming a recording using the electronic programme guide, the receiver memorises the channel, the date and the announced start and end time of the programme to record.

The receiver then records the specified channel at the day and time specified. To avoid possible shifts between the announced schedules and the actual schedules of broadcast,

you can specify safety margins in your user preferences. The receiver will then begin and stop recording from 1 to 15 minutes before and after the announced time.

Programme mode (depending on country)

By programming a recording using the electronic programme guide, the receiver memorises information of the programme to record, provided by the broadcaster: name, summary, date, channel and time of broadcast.

As the beginning of recording approaches (10 minutes before the announced time), the receiver monitors the channel and awaits the broadcast signal marking the beginning of the programme. The receiver begins recording only when the programme starts.

When the signal marking the end of the programme is received, the receiver stops recording.

The availability of the Programme recording mode depends on each country. To know if this mode is available in your country, access the User Preferences menu: if the selection of the recording type does not appear among the preferences, it means that it is not available for your country. Only the Timer recording mode is then available to you (see “User preferences”, page 12).

You can customise in your User Preferences the recording mode to be applied by default and the safety margins to be applied in the Timer mode (see “User preferences”, page 12).
