Precaution &

Plug wiring

Information

DANGER:

This VCR contains live parts. Do not remove the
cabinet.

WARNING:

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this
product to rain or moisture.
Do not drop the tying band of the mains lead into the
unit. Doing so might cause a fire or an electrical
shock. (See page 6.)

CAUTION:

Do not put your hand or other objects in the cassette
loading slot because of the risk of injury or an
accident. Keep small children away from the VCR.

The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or
splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such
as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

Position your VCR so that no bright light or sunlight
falls directly onto it.

Care should be taken not to expose your VCR to any
unnecessary vibration, moisture, dust or heat. During
electrical storms it is advisable to unplug both the
aerial cable and mains plug to prevent accidental
damage to your VCR and TV.

Do not operate your VCR if it is damaged.
Your VCR should not be repaired by anyone

except qualified service personnel.

Never remove the back cover of your VCR as this
can expose you to very high voltage and other
hazards. If your VCR does not operate properly,
please check the Troubleshooting Check List
(see p. 34). If your VCR still does not operate proper­ly, unplug it and call your dealer.

Ensure that your VCR is
placed in a position to
allow a free flow of air.

This appliance is supplied with BS 1363 approved
13 Amp fused mains plug. When replacing the fuse
always use a 5 Amp BS 1362 approved type.
Never use this plug with the fuse cover omitted.
To obtain a replacement fuse cover contact your
supplying dealer.
If the mains sockets in your home differ, or are not
suitable for the type of plug supplied then the plug
should be removed and a suitable type fitted.
If the mains plug becomes severed from the mains
lead it must be destroyed. A mains plug with bared
wires is hazardous if engaged in a mains output line
socket.
If a 13 Amp BS 1363 plug is not suitable or any
other type of plug used, then this appliance must be
protected by a 5 Amp fuse.

Should you need to change the plug

The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance
with the following codes

BLUE ~ Neutral
BROWN ~ Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this
appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows :
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to
the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured
BLUE or BLACK.
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to
the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured
BROWN or RED.
DO NOT connect either wire to the EARTH terminal.

Beware of moisture condensation

Moisture in the air will condense on the VCR when
you move it from a cold place to a warm place, or
under extremely humid conditions — just as water
droplets form on the surface of a glass filled with
cold liquid. Moisture condensation on the head drum
will cause damage to the tape

. In conditions where
condensation may occur, keep the VCR’s power
turned on for a few hours to let the
moisture dry.

Remote Control

Location & functions

Your VCR is designed so that almost all of its features can be controlled from the REMOTE CONTROL
HANDSET. Some features can also be controlled from the FRONT PANEL of the VCR.
The maximum operating distance that you may control your VCR is about 7 metres (23 feet). It must also be
within an angle of 30 degrees either side of the REMOTE SENSOR on the front of your VCR.

To avoid damage from possible battery leakage, remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the remote control handset
for an extended period of time. Do not use batteries of differing age or type. Always discard batteries safely.

MAINS LEAD

Do not forget that even in the power off state there is an electrical voltage inside the VCR as long as it is
connected to a wall socket. Disconnect the mains lead from the wall socket if the VCR is not to be used
for a long time.

The guidance given on this page is the most common form of connection. However please check with your
manufacturer’s instruction books for specific information. Make sure all connections are made with both your
VCR and additional appliance unplugged from the mains to avoid damaging your equipment. Connecting a
VCR using a SCART lead is one of the best ways to achieve optimum sound and picture quality from
video-tape playback.

All connections
must be made with
all appliances
unplugged from the
mains.

SCART Lead

(not supplied)

If you use a SCART lead
picture quality will be
improved.

Back view of
your VCR

The quality of the sound and
picture can be greatly
influenced by the positioning,
quality and state of repair of
your external aerial.

Connecting

To a Hi-Fi

An audio system can be connected to the AUDIO OUT sockets on the back of your VCR.
Please remember to turn the volume to minimum on your Hi-Fi, then gradually increase the volume; this will
prevent damaging your speakers and save you from an extremely noisy shock!

video tape into your VCR
and press PLAY on the
remote control.

Select a TV channel
number on which you
wish to watch video’s.

Don’t worry if you don’t
have a video-tape to play
at this stage!
If you switch your VCR
on and continue stages
3 ~ 4, instead of seeing
video playback tune your
TV until you see a bright
blue screen.

Tune this channel until
the video picture is sharp
and the sound is clear.

If you have used a

SCART lead you will not

have to tune your TV,
simply select the AV
channel. The AV channel
is already pre-tuned for
optimum video playback
on your TV.

Store this channel on
your TV.

You will need to look at
the TV instruction book if
you do not know how to
do this.

10

Tuning in a

Video channel

On your TV

Your TV receives signals from the VCR like another TV station.
You have to select a channel number on your TV and tune it in so that you may watch video tapes.
If you have used a SCART lead then your TV should already have a dedicated video channel built into it,
usually called AV.

The output frequency of
this VCR is set at UHF
channel 22.
If channel 22 is already
used by another TV
station, or if the picture is
distorted, you can
change the transmitter
channel of your VCR.
Stages 5 ~ 8 will show
you how to change the
output frequency of your
VCR.

Troubleshooting

Check List

Video Head Cleaning

Whenever a video cassette is inserted into or ejected from your VCR the video head is automatically cleaned.
This should mean that additional head cleaning should not be necessary. However dirt accumulating on the
head after a long period of time can cause the playback picture to become blurred or broken up. High quality
video cassette tapes will not normally deposit dirt onto the video head, but old or damaged tapes might.

Check points

Is the mains plug plugged in and switched on?
Is the TV switched on?
Try another channel, maybe a weak signal.
Check the aerial. Is it connected?
Check the aerial. Is the cable broken or damaged?
Have you tuned in a dedicated channel on your
TV to watch video on?
If you have used a SCART lead to connect your VCR
and TV have you selected the AV channel on your
TV?
Check tuning, carry out Automatic Tuning again.

Are the TV channels tuned in properly?
Have you tried using another cassette?
Can you minimise the noise bars to an acceptable
level with the numbered 0 or D or E button?

Can you get a picture on the TV?
Are the aerial leads and special RF connector lead
between your VCR and TV connected?
Are the TV channels tuned in properly; are they tuned
in order?
Has the safety tab on the video cassette been
removed to prevent recording?
Try another station, maybe a weak signal.
Check the aerial. Is it connected to the TV?

Check points

Is the cassette compartment empty?
Are you trying to insert the cassette the right way
round?

Is the mains plug plugged in and switched on?
Is the VCR switched on?
Check the batteries in remote control.

Is the video cassette damaged, have you tried
using another one?
Adjust the horizontal control on your TV.
Check the aerial. Is it connected to the VCR?
Check the aerial. Is the cable broken or damaged?
Check for local interference.
Make sure that you are using a dedicated TV
channel on your TV.

Has the safety tab been removed from the video
cassette?

Make sure NICAM in the menu is set to AUTO for
the station to be recorded.

Switch "AUDIO" in the menu to STEREO.
