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 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.
ON THIS USER MANUAL: This user manual being common to several VCR models, some
functions or settings may not be available on the model you have bought.

Your video recorder comes with the NexTView Link feature. This function simplifies the channel
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.).
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.
