est

conforme à

celle indiquée sur l'étiquette d'identification, située à l'arrière de votre

appareil. Installez le magnétoscope horizontalement,

loin de toute source de

chaleur importante (cheminée...)

ou d'appareils produisant des champs

magnétiques ou électriques

élevés. Les composants de cet appareil sont sensibles

à la chaleur. La température maximaleambiante ne

doit pas dépasser 35°

Celsius. Laissez

suffisamment d’espace autour pour assurer une ventilation

correcte. Laissez 10 cm minimum de chaque côté ainsi qu’à l’arrière

de l’appareil

et 7 cm minimum

au dessus. L’humidité des

locaux où est placé l’appareil ne doit

pas dépasser un taux hygrométrique de 85 %.

Si vous devez utiliser votre appareil

à l’extérieur, évitez de l’exposer à l’eau de pluie ou aux

éclaboussures. Le

passage d’une atmosphère

froide à une ambiance chaude peut provoquer de

la

condensation

sur l’écran (et sur certains composants à l’intérieur de l’appareil).

complètement

vous devez débrancher

la fiche d’alimentation de la prise secteur.

Πρεχαυτιονσ

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 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.
