exactly as described in the instructions.

8 Do not place the device near heat sources such as radia-

tors, ovens or other appliances emitting heat (including amplifiers).

9 Only connect the device with the supplied power cord to

a suitable wall outlet. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10 Install the power cord in such a way that nobody can trip

over it. Also make sure that the cable does not become trapped, especially near the plug, the receptacle or at the point where it comes out of the device.

11 Only use accessories recommended by the manufactu-

rer.

12 When a cart is used, operate carefully to prevent the

device from tipping over.

13 Disconnect the device from the mains during a storm by

pulling on the power plug and from the antenna by pulling out the antenna plug. Also do this when you are not going to use the device for a long period of time. Otherwise there is danger of lighting!

14 Please contact qualified personnel when servicing is

needed. Servicing is required when this product has been damaged in any way, for example, when the power cord or plug is damaged, when liquid has been spilled on the product, when objects have fallen into the product, when the product has been exposed to rain or moisture, when the product does not work normally or if the product has been dropped.

15 Battery Safety Instructions - To prevent battery leakage

which may result in bodily injury or property damage:

• Install all batteries correctly, with + and - signs matching the marks indicated.

• Do not mix batteries (old and new or carbon and alkaline, etc.).

• Remove batteries when the device is not to be used for a long time. Warning!

• Do not try to recharge the batteries and do not throw batteries into fire.

• Do not disassemble any batteries – there is risk of explosion!

New Regulations concerning the disposal of used batteries apply. Batteries may be returned for free to your dealer’s shop or to public recycling and collection places in smaller quantities. Do not dispose of any batteries in with the domestic trash. Use the free collecting systems! Protect our environment. Please return any used batteries for disposal.

16 To avoid electric shock or fire, prevent this product from

being exposed to any rain, dripping or splashing.

17 Do not place it under dripping or flowing liquids. Do not

place any receptacles containing liquids (beverages, vases, etc.) on the device.

18 Do not place any fire sources (such as candles) onto the

device.

19 Do not use any extension cords.

20 The wall outlet must be easily accessible.

21 The power switch of this device does not fully dis-

connect the device from the mains. Furthermore, the device consumes electricity in the Standby mode. In order to completely disconnect the device from the mains, the power plug must be pulled out from the wall outlet. For this reason, the device should be positioned in a way that assures unobstructed access to the wall outlet so that the power plug can be immediately pulled out in an emergency situation. To avoid the danger of fire if the device is not going to be used for a long while (e.g. during holidays), it should always be disconnected from the power socket. Always hold all cables by the plug and never pull on the cable itself. Never hold the power cord with wet hands as this may cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit itself nor any furniture or other devices onto the power cord and make sure that the cable does not become trapped. Never make knots in the cable and do not tie it together with other cords. The power cord should be positioned so that nobody can trip over them or be obstructed by them. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or an electric shock. Inspect the power cord from time to time. In case of damage, contact the nearest authorised service centre or your dealer for replacement.

22 Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is

connected to the product, be sure that the antenna system is grounded so as to provide sufficient protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

23 Never use the device in the immediate vicinity of magne-

tic fields (e.g. loudspeakers)

24 Children: electrical appliances do not belong in the

hands of children. Do not allow children to play with electrical devices when not under supervision. Children may not be able to comprehend the presence of potential risks. Keep all packaging away from children as this can cause suffocation.

Sample Freq.

DVD

If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of handling 96 kHz signals, select 48 kHz. When this choice is made, this unit automatically converts any 96 kHz signals to 48 kHz so your system can decode them.

If your receiver or amplifier is capable of handling 96 kHz signals, select 96 kHz. When this choice is made, this unit passes each type of signal through without any further processing. Check the documentation for your amplifier to verify its capabilities.

DRC (Dynamic Range Control)

With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic presentation possible, thanks to digital audio technology. However, you may wish to compress the dynamic range of the audio output (the difference between the loudest sounds and the quietest ones). This allows you to listen to a movie at a lower volume without losing clarity of sound. Set DRC to On for this effect.

Hi-Fi Stereo Sound System

Your VCR will record and playback Hi-Fi stereo sound. In addition it has a stereo NICAM digital stereo sound decoder. This allows you to record and playback the sound in several different ways. Video cassettes recorded on your VCR will have a normal mono audio track and two VHS Hi-Fi stereo audio tracks. These stereo tracks allow you to make audio recordings in Hi-Fi stereo or bilingual mode from a TV broadcast, stereo audio system, video disc or another Hi-Fi VCR.

1. Your VCR’s NICAM digital sound decoder allows you to enjoy broadcasts with NICAM sound, as well as standard stereo, bilingual and mono sound. The particular type of sound received or that recorded will be briefly displayed on the TV screen for a couple of seconds:

STEREO NICAM

Sound is automatically recorded on the Hi-Fi stereo and mono tracks of the video tape.

BIL NICAM

Both audio channels will be recorded on the Hi-Fi stereo tracks. The primary language channel (left) will be recorded on the mono track of the video tape.

MONO

The sound is recorded on the Hi-Fi tracks and the mono track of the video tape without any separation.

2. Press AUDIO repeatedly until the desired audio mode appears.

3. The choice is STEREO, LEFT, RIGHT and MONO. In BIL NICAM playback the primary language is out- put on the left channel and the secondary channel is output simultaneously from the right channel when audio output is set to STEREO. The primary language will be output from both channels when the audio setting is MONO. Please note that when adjusting the tracking control Hi-Fi stereo sound may revert to MONO.
