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, 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 three hours before operating the unit.

Notes

•If your VCR is connected to the STB by the aerial cable, enter the programme number of the VCR corresponding to the channel where you have set up the STB output in step 4.

•You cannot watch programmes from your STB on the TV while recording unless you record a programme from your STB.

•It is recommended to connect your STB to the DECODEUR/ENTREE LIGNE-3 connector.

•For some STB, in order to avoid any conflict between the STB controller and the VCR remote commander, be careful not to point the remote commander towards the STB and the VCR at the same time.

•If VEILLE ECO is set to TOTAL, you cannot watch or record programmes from your STB during standby mode. Set VEILLE ECO in the OPTIONS-2 menu to NON or PARTIELLE.
