WARNING

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose
the unit to rain or moisture.
To avoid electrical shock, do not open the
cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel
only.

Precautions

Safety

• This unit operates on 220 – 240 V AC, 50 Hz.
Check that the unit’s operating voltage is
identical with your local power supply.

• If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the
unit and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.

• The unit is not disconnected from the mains
as long as it is connected to the mains outlet,
even if the unit itself has been turned off.

• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if you
do not intend to use it for an extended
period of time. To disconnect the cord, pull
it out by the plug, never by the cord.

Installing

• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent
internal heat buildup.

• Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs,
blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains,
draperies) that may block the ventilation
slots.

• Do not install the unit near heat sources
such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place
subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust,
mechanical vibration or shock.

• Do not install the unit in an inclined
position. It is designed to be operated in a
horizontal position only.

• Keep the unit and cassettes away from
equipment with strong magnets, such as
microwave ovens or large loudspeakers.

• Do not place heavy objects on the unit.

• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to
a warm location, moisture may condense
inside the VCR and cause damage to the
video head and tape. When you first install
the unit, or when you move it from a cold to
a warm location, wait for about one hour
before operating the unit.

Caution

Television programmes, films, video tapes and
other materials may be copyrighted.
Unauthorized recording of such material may
be contrary to the provisions of the copyright
laws. Also, use of this recorder with cable
television transmission may require
authorization from the cable television
transmitter and/or programme owner.

Colour system

This VCR is designed to record and playback
using the PAL colour system. Recording of
video sources based on other colour systems
cannot be guaranteed.

Additional connections

To a TV that has a EURO-AV (Scart)
connector

This additional connection improves
picture and sound quality. Connect the
TV as shown on the right. Whenever
you want to watch the VCR picture,
press TV/VIDEO on the remote
commander (or TV/VTR on the VCR) to
display the VTR indicator in the display
window. When you connect using the
EURO-AV cable, set the RF
MODULATOR option in the SET UP
MENU to OFF. (page 51)

Notes

• If your TV has a EURO-AV connector, set the LINE 1 VIDEO OUT menu option to
NORM. This hookup allows you to display subtitles, but the VCR does not
transmit Y/C signals.

• If your TV has a EURO-AV connector and is S-VIDEO compatible, set the LINE 1
VIDEO OUT menu option to S. This hookup does not allow you to display
subtitles, and some TVs may only display a black-and-white screen. If this is the
case, set the TV to S-VIDEO input.
