The guarantee certificate delivered with your video recorder mentions its type and

warranty rights.
• All repairs during the warranty period should be carried out by an authorised
technician representing our brand.
• All exceptions to this rule will lead to the cancellation of your warranty rights.

damage the equipment.
Thomson Multimedia is not liable if the video recorder is used other than in

Precautions
Set up - Make sure the mains voltage in your home complies with that indicated on the
identification label on the back of your video recorder.
Install the video recorder horizontally, far from any heat sources (e.g. fireplace...) or
appliances producing high magnetic or electric fields.
If you place your video recorder in a specific unit, make sure there is enough
ventilation. Leave 7-10 cm around your video recorder as shown in the diagram below.
Use - If your video recorder or a tape has been kept in a cold place for some time, like
for example in a car boot in winter, wait approximately 2 hours before using your
video recorder. The openings above and below are for ventilation purposes. They
should not be blocked. In the case of a thunder storm, it is recommended to disconnect
the video recorder from the aerial socket.
This video recorder should under no circumstances be used for industrial purposes. It is
intended for domestic use only.
Cleaning - Use a soft, dry and clean cloth. Do not use any stripper, abrasive or solvent
products. If an object or liquid penetrates into the video recorder, disconnect it
immediately and have it checked by an authorised technician.
To avoid deterioration of your video recorder's heads, never use a cleaning tape.
Total or partial copying of recordings protected by copyright law, without explicit
authorisation from the copyright owners, constitutes a breach of the law.
