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

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.

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.
Satellite Receiver
Back view of your VCR
Aerial
The quality of the sound and picture can be greatly influenced by the positioning, quality and state of repair of your external aerial.
All connections must be made with all appliances unplugged from the mains.
