Precautions
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 the video recorder
horizontally, away from any source of heat
(fireplace) or appliances creating strong
magnetic or electric fields. The components of
this video recorder are sensitive to heat. The maximum ambienttemperature should not exceed 40° Celsius. Leave sufficient space
around the video recorder 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 video recorder 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 video
recorder. Let the condensation disappear by itself before turning the
video recorder on again.
USE - If your appliance, or a cassette, has been stored in a very cold
atmosphere for a certain amount of time (transported during winter for
example), wait approximately 2 hours before using your video recorder.
The openings located on the top and the bottom are for ventilation
purposes. They should not be obstructed. During thunder storms, we
recommend that you disconnect the video recorder from the mains and
aerial so that it is not affected by electrical or electromagnetic surges that
could damage it. For this reason, keep the mains socket and aerial socket
accessible so they can be disconnected. When the unit is on standby,
some components remain connected to the mains. To fully disconnect
your set, you have to unplug the mains connector from the mains socket.
Immediately disconnect the video recorder if you notice it giving off a
smell of burning or smoke. Under no circumstances whatsoever must
you open the video recorder yourself. You risk electrocution if you do so.
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 video recorder’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 video recorder. 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 video recorder is used
other than in accordance with this manual.
Prior to using your video recorder, you'll have to follow the set-up
procedure and make the settings described on pages 2 to 7.

installation procedure, dowloading them from a TV set fitted with the NexTView Link or similar
feature (Easy Link, Smart Link, Megalogic, etc.) and already installed. The channels downloaded in
this way preserve the same properties as your TV set (same number, same name, etc.).
ð If your TV set is fitted with the NexTView Link function or similar, the video
recorder automatically initiates channel download once you have selected the country.
You can view channel download on the video recorder display (Pr1, Pr2,...). On
completion of download, the video recorder switches over to standby. Channel
installation is finished.

Satellite/cable receiver
The connection schemes you may adopt for your satellite receiver depend on the available
J
sockets and cables in your possession. Prior to connecting your satellite receiver to the
video recorder, make sure that the former is capable of properly receiving the cable
programmes.
Recommended connection scheme
To give the video recorder priority over the satellite receiver, connect your satellite receiver
to the AV2 of the video recorder by means of a SCART cable.
J
Position the satellite receiver on top of the video recorder
and see that you leave the infrared windows uncovered.

UnprotectedProtectedre-recordable
Tapes are sensitive to utilisation and storage conditions. Keep them away from dust, humidity or
excessive heat. Do not place them next to appliances producing strong magnetic or electrical fields
(electro-magnet, motor, etc.). Tapes may vary in quality. The difference in quality not only concerns
the tape itself but also the different mechanical elements of the video cassette. A poor quality tape
can damage your video recorder. You should therefore use quality brand tapes.
