DVD copy protection
In accordance with the DVD standard, your DVD player is
equipped with a Copy Protection system, which can be
triggered on and off by the DVD disc itself, in order to make
any recording of the concerned DVD disc onto a videotape of
very poor picture quality, or even impossible. “This product
incorporates copyright protection technology that is
protected by method claims of certain U.S. patents and
other intellectual property rights owned by Macrovision
Corporation and other rights owners. Use of this copyright
protection technology must be authorized by Macrovision
Corporation, and is intended for home use only unless
otherwise authorized by Macrovision Corporation. Reverse
engineering or disassembly is prohibited.”

Precautions and guarantee
SETTING UP - Ensure that the mains supply in your house complies with that indicated on the identification
sticker located on the back of your appliance. Install your appliance horizontally, away from any source of
heat (fireplace) or appliances creating strong magnetic or electric fields. The components of this appliance
are sensitive to heat. The maximum ambient temperature should not exceed 35° Celsius. Leave sufficient
space around the appliance to allow adequate ventilation: 10 cm on either side and at the rear, as well as
7 cm above the top are minimum requirements. The humidity of the room should not exceed 80%. If you
have to use the appliance outdoors, do not expose it to water from rain or splashing. Moving it from a cold
atmosphere into a warm one is likely to cause condensation on some components inside the appliance. Let
the condensation disappear by itself before turning the appliance on again.
USE - If your appliance has been stored in a cool place for any length of time, during a journey for example,
wait for about 2 hours before using it. The openings located on the top and bottom are for ventilation and
must not be obstructed. During thunderstorms, we recommend that you isolate the appliance from the
electrical supply and the aerial so that it is not damaged by electrical or electromagnetic surges. To
completely isolate the equipment, remove the plug from the mains socket as some components remain
connected to the electrical supply. If you notice any burning or smoke, disconnect the appliance
immediately to avoid all risk of electrocution. Do not attempt to look inside the appliance, through the
opening of the disk tray or any other opening. You may be electrocuted or be exposed to laser radiation.
This unit is for domestic use only and must not be used for industrial purposes. Total or partial copying of
recordings protected by copyright legislation, without the explicit permission of the holder of the rights,
contravenes current legislation. Copying or downloading music files for sale or any other business purpose
constitutes or could constitute a violation of copyright law.
CLEANING – Use a soft, dry and clean cloth. Regularly dust the vents at the back or sides. Using solvents,
abrasive or alcohol based products risks damaging the set. If an object or liquid enters inside the appliance,
unplug it immediately and have it checked by an authorised technician. To avoid deterioration of your
appliance’s heads, never use a cleaning tape.
GUARANTEE - The type and production number of your appliance are printed on the guarantee certificate
delivered with your appliance. Keep this certificate as well as the invoice. These documents are
indispensable for claiming your guarantee rights. All repairs during the guarantee period must be carried
out by an authorised technician representing our brand. If this condition is not met, your rights will no
longer be valid. Never open the appliance yourself, since this may be dangerous for you or damage the
equipment. Thomson multimedia is not liable if the appliance is used other than in accordance with this
manual.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY: TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW. REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT OF COPYRIGHTS OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
RESULTING FROM THE USE OF THE PRODUCT UNDER CONDITIONS OTHER THAN AS HEREABOVE SPECIFIED
ARE HEREBY EXCLUDED.

Initial Installation
Modulator
If you haven't used a SCART cable (supplied) to connect your TV to the AV1 socket of the
DVD/VCR, then proceed with the settings below before you go to channel set-up.
If you have used a SCART cable, go directly to the Automatic channel search section.
1 Switch the DVD-VCR ON by pressing the B key on its front panel.
2 Press the VCR key on the remote control.
3 Hold down the MENU key on the remote control until SY4 comes up on the video
recorder display.
4 Validate your choice using the OK key.
Please wait: the video recorder is searching for a channel within the range 21
to 69, available for transmitting pictures to the television via the coaxial cable.
After a while, the video recorder display indicates the channel that will be used
for this purpose. Note down the number here .
5 Switch ON your television set.
Take the user manual of your television and carry out the steps below.
6 Select an available channel number (a channel which has no picture).
7 Follow the instructions of your television user manual to find the video channel of
the video recorder (the one you noted down above).
Once the television has found the video channel of the video recorder, the
following message will be displayed on the screen (VCR, C CH 52 B).
If the picture is poor (snowy, torn), change the communication channel of the video
recorder with the C / B keys.
8 Store the channel and its number on the television set.
From now on, to watch the video recorder pictures or menus, select the channel
assigned to the video recorder on your TV set, i.e. the channel number chosen in step
6.
9 Continue with Automatic channel search.
Automatic channel search
The appliance has not been programmed to receive the channels in your area. Follow
the automatic set-up procedure below to set up the channels.
1 Switch the DVD-VCR ON by pressing the B key on its front panel.
2 Press the OK key.
This video recorder comes with the NexTView Link feature. This function simplifies
the channel set-up procedure, as the channels already set up on a TV set fitted with
the NexTView Link or similar feature (Easy Link, Smart Link, Megalogic, etc.) can be
downloaded to the video recorder. The channels downloaded this way to the video
recorder keep the same properties as on your TV set (same number, same name, etc.).
