Precautions Contents

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 ambient temperature 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 television 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 9.

Making the connections

Connecting the video recorder and television set with this

cable simplifies set-up and subsequent use, and considerably improves the picture and sound reproduction quality. If your television set has no SCART socket, you'll have to adjust the modulator of the video recorder and assign a channel number to the video recorder on the television set (refer to page 6).
1 Disconnect the aerial cable from your TV set and reconnect it to the IN socket of your
video recorder.
2 By means of the coaxial cable supplied, connect the video recorder's OUT socket to the
gg
television's aerial socket
3 With the SCART cable supplied, connect the video recorder's AV 1 socket
(audio/video 1) to the television's SCART socket (AV 1, EXT 1, AUX 1 depending on the make).
4 Connect the video recorder to the mains with the power cord supplied by first plugging
in the connector at the video recorder rear.

Set-up

Initial Set-up

If you have not connected the television set to the video recorder with the SCART cable, you must
J
first make the modulator and then the television settings (refer to page 6) before you start the automatic channel set-up. The video recorder was not pre-set to receive the channels of your region. Thus, you'll have to set them up yourself, by carrying out the automatic channel set-up procedure described below. Your video recorder will automatically perform channel search and store each of the channels found with its own channel number.

Automatic channel search

1 Switch on the television. 2 Press key VCR (1) on your remote control. 3 Switch on your video recorder, making use either of the remote control key
the appropriate key (ON) on the video recorder front side.
ð When switching on the video recorder for the first time, a language selection menu
comes up. Should it not appear, press key MENU (15).

8 Press key
COUNTRY menu comes up.
Your video recorder comes with the NexTView Link feature. This function simplifies the channel
J
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 preserve the same properties as on 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, Pr3…). On completion of download, the video recorder switches over to standby. Channel set-up is achieved.
ð When your television set is not fitted with the NextView Link or any similar feature,
a message tells you that your video recorder is searching and storing the channels you can receive in your region. Keep patient until a message informs you that your channels are stored.

Sorting the channels
