Important safety notes

General

Important safety notes

General

Before using unit for the first time, please read
through the following notes carefully and observe all
warning instructions, even if you are familiar with us­ing electrical equipment. Keep this manual in a safe
place for future reference. If you decide to sell or pass
on the device to third parties, always include this ma­nual.

Installation location

• Install the unit on a solid, level surface and do not
place heavy objects on top.

• The unit is not designed for use in rooms ex-
posed to high temperatures or air humidity (e.g.
bathrooms) or excessive quantities of accumu­lated dust

• Operating temperature and air humidity: 5 °C to
35 °C, max. 85 % rel. humidity

Make sure that

• the unit is always ventilated sufficiently (do not
place the unit in enclosed shelving units, on thick
carpets, beds or anywhere where the ventilation
slits are covered and always leave a minimum of
10 cm space around the unit);

• direct heat sources (such as radiators) do not af-
fect the unit;

• direct sunlight and strong artificial light does not
shine on the unit;

• the unit is not located in the direct vicinity of mag-
netic fields (such as speakers);

• sources of naked flames (such as burning can-
dles) are not placed on or next to the unit;

• contact with splash and dripping water and ag-
gressive fluids is avoided and the unit is not op­erated next to water. Under no circumstances
should the unit be immersed underwater (do not
place objects filled with liquid such as vases or
drinks on or near the unit);

• foreign objects cannot enter the unit;

• the unit is not exposed to sharp fluctuations in

temperature, otherwise condensation may form
and cause short circuiting;

• the unit is not exposed to excessive shaking and
vibrations;

Power supply

• The on/off switch on the unit does not isolate the
unit completely from the mains power supply.

• The unit continues to consume electricity in
standby mode. Pull the plug from the mains so­cket to disconnect the unit completely from the
mains power supply. Position the unit in such a
way as to guarantee direct, unobstructed access
to the mains socket so that the plug can be dis­connected immediately in an emergency. If you
do not intend to use the unit for longer periods
such as during a holiday, always disconnect the
plug from the mains socket to avoid any potential
fire hazards. Please disconnect the unit from the
mains power supply if there is a risk of lightning
striking during a storm.

• Do not insert batteries with the terminals re-
versed, do not recharge the batteries supplied
with the unit and never throw batteries into an
open fire! Do not use different types of battery
(old and new, alkaline and carbon, etc.) simulta­neously. Remove the batteries if you do not in­tend to use the unit for longer periods. Incorrect
use may cause the batteries to explode or leak!

• Make a conscious effort to protect the environ-
ment! Used batteries should be disposed of sepa­rately from the household waste! Deposit them at
a collection point for used batteries or special
waste.

Cables

• Always pull cables by the plug and not by the ca-
ble itself.

• Do not touch the mains cable with wet hands as
you may short circuit the unit or receive an elec­tric shock.

• Do not place the unit, items of furniture or other
heavy objects on cables and make sure that the
cables are not kinked, in particular next to the
plug and connecting sockets. Never tie knots in
cables and do not tie the ends of cables together.
Lay all cables so that people cannot tread on or
trip over them.

• A damaged mains cable poses a risk of fire or e-
lectric shock. Check the mains cable from time to
time. Do not use adapter plugs or extension cables
that do not correspond to applicable safety stan­dards and do not tamper with power or mains ca­bles!

Important safety notes

Care and maintenance

Care and maintenance

• Maintenance work is necessary, for example, if
the mains plug, mains cable or housing is dam­aged, liquid or objects enter the unit, the unit is
exposed to rain or moisture, no longer functions
correctly or has suffered a fall. If you notice
smoke emissions, unusual noises or odd smells,
switch off the unit immediately and disconnect the
plug from the power socket. Have the unit in­spected by a qualified specialist before you use it
again. Only allow qualified specialists to perform
maintenance work on the unit. Never open the
housing of the unit or accessories. Opening the
housing poses a risk of fatal injury from electric
shock. Always clean the unit with a clean, dry
cloth and never use aggressive fluids.

• The DVD/CD drive in the unit is categorised as a
"Class 1 laser product", indicated by a corre­sponding sticker affixed to the housing. Never
open the unit and do not attempt to repair the unit
yourself. The unit operates with an invisible laser
beam inside the housing. Do not make contact
with the laser beam.

• Do not attempt to open the unit housing. Opening
the unit will void the warranty.

Disposing of old appliances

Products that display a symbol of a crossed-out waste
bin are subject to European Directive 2002/96/EC.

All old electrical and electronic appliances should be
disposed of separately from the household waste at
special recycling centres run by the local council.

Correct disposal of old appliances preserves the envi­ronment and prevents public health hazards.

For more detailed information about disposal of your
old appliance, please contact your local council office,
waste disposal service or the shop where you pur­chased the product.

Children

• Do not allow children to play with electrical e-
quipment! Never allow children to use electrical
equipment unsupervised. Children may not al­ways be able to identify potential dangers. Swal­lowing small parts can be extremely dangerous.

• Keep all kinds of battery out of the reach of small
children. Should a child swallow a battery, seek
immediate medical assistance.

• Keep any packaging away from children. Risk of
suffocation!

• Keep this unit out of the reach of children. If chil-
dren are allowed to tamper with the unit, spring­loaded components may be ejected and cause
eye injuries.

Intended use

• This electronic entertainment equipment is in-
tended for private use only and not industrial or
commercial purposes.

power fails while the recorder is in op­eration.

• The hard disk is very sensitive. Operating
the hard disk improperly or in an unsuit­able environment for several years may
cause serious damage. Playback stop­ping unexpectedly and a mosaic effe ct vi­sible on the screen are clear signs that
the hard disk is damaged. Hard disk faults
are impossible to predict.

• A faulty disk will no longer play re-
cordings. In this case, the hard disk must
be replaced.

Connecting to an amplifier

Via HDMI

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) transfers
video and audio data for DVD players, digital receiv­ers and other AV devices via a single digital connec­tion. HDMI was developed for HDCP technology (High
Definition Content Protection). HDCP provides protec­tion during the transfer and receipt of digital content.

HDMI supports the following norms: Standard, Ex­tended, High Definition Video Plus and Multi-Channel
Surround Sound. Characteristics of HDMI include un­compressed digital video, a maximum bandwidth of 5
gigabytes per second, a single connection (instead of
several cables and sockets) and communication be­tween AV source and AV devices such as digital tele­visions.
