Moisture Condensation

If the unit is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm place, do
not operate it for two or three hours.

What is moisture condensation

When cold water is poured into a glass, for example, water vapour in
the air will condense will form on the surface of the glass. This is called
moisture condensation.

Moisture will condense on the unit in the following cases;

•

When you move this unit from a cold place to a warm place.

• After heating a cold room or under extremely humid conditions.

If you experience the above conditions;

"Plug" the mains lead into an AC outlet, set the ON/STANDBY button to
ON and leave at the room temperature until moisture condensation
disappears.
Depending on the surrounding conditions, this may take two or three hours.

• To prevent injuries do not insert your hand into the
cassette loading slot.

Watch out for toddlers who often love to imitate the
behavior of adults. In some cases, toys inserted into
the cassette loading slot have resulted in expensive
repairs.

• Do not place the unit near appliances which may
cause electromagnetic interference such as loudspeak­ers, amplifiers, electric motors, mobile phone, etc.
Magnetic fields may affect picture or sound quality of
video recordings.

• Avoid extreme moisture and dust.

• Leave repairs to a qualified service technician.

• Avoid locations subjected to extreme heat and cold.

• Avoid placing to place the unit on any surfaces that
may be subjected to vibrations or shocks.

• Do not insert fingers or any other objects into the
cassette loading slot. Also, when cleaning the unit,
never spray cleaner or furniture wax directly on the unit
housing.

• Do not place flower vases on top or next to the unit.
Water spilled into the unit could cause serious damages.
In case of water damage, do not unplug the power
cord from its wall outlet and call for qualified service
immediately.

• When you leave your home for a long period of time,
unplug the power cord for safety reasons.

• Cleaning Precautions
For cleaning the VCR, we recommend a mild soap
solution and a slightly moistened soft cloth as it is used
for furniture. To avoid electrical shocks, unplug the
power cord from its wall outlet before cleaning. Be
especially careful when cleaning plastic components.

• To protect the unit during a thunder storm, unplug the
power cord and disconnect the antenna.

Basic connection

Connect your DVD/VCR to your home's antenna and to your TV-set as shown in the illustration.
When you have finished these connections then connect your DVD/VCR to the 110~240 V / 50 Hz mains.

In addition to the coaxial cable connection, also connect with scart cable. The picture and sound will be transmitted
best through the scart cable. In this case, the TV need not be tuned to the video recorder. The AV-channel also need
not be tuned. The video recorder switch the television to video operation through the scart cable automatically.

The

stereo-playback is possible only through a scart cable!

Connect a TV with the Scart socket

If your TV-set does not switch to video-playback operation automatically, please
turn your TV's video switch to VIDEO position manually.

TEST

Setting the TV to the RF-Channel

VCR

We recommend that television and DVD/VCR are being connected with a scart cable.
In this case, the setting of RF-channel is not necessary. Picture and sound of video cassette will be transmitted to
television through the scart cable automatically. Please read the next page.

In case of no scart cable connection,
you must set the television to the RF­channel. Pay attention to the following
notice:
A built-in TV-broadcast in DVD/VCR can
do the video playback through the sup­plied antenna cable. This broadcast is
sent on UHF, channel 60. To receive this
broadcast, you must tune your televi­sion to channel 60 in UHF-band. (see
step 2)

In case a broadcast has already sent
to channel 60 in your area or you con­nect an additional equipment (e.g. Sat­ellite receiver) with a coaxial cable
(without a scart cable), you must tune
the sending channel in DVD/VCR (see
step 3). In your television store the both
equipment (the DVD/VCR and the sat­ellite receiver) to 2 different program
positions.

Example: Your satellite receiver is sent
to channel 60. You tune the DVD/VCR
to channel 64 (see step 3).
(If your DVD/VCR is also sent to chan­nel 60, interference will occur.)
In your television store the channel 60
to e.g. program position 3 and store the
channel 64 to e.g. program position 4.
Note that the program position 4 must
be suitable for video-playback espe­cially. Please see the owner's manual
for your television. If the playback pic­ture is often distored, you must select
the other program position for DVD/
VCR.

Preparation

• Turn on the TV.

• Press VCR to select the VCR mode.

• Make sure the power of DVD/VCR has been

turned off.

Switch your television to the program position on which the
video playback is seen. Start the channel search of your
television until “TEST” appears. Store this tuning in televi­sion like also the case of the reception for normal televi­sion-channels you would store.

If you want to use your DVD/VCR,
switch your television to this program
position.

If there is interference in the picture (you see 2 programs
simultaneously or what is called Ghosts), change the send­ing channel in DVD/VCR. To do this, go back to the step 1.
Use CHANNEL button on the DVD/VCR to change the
number next to the rF:. Then return to step 2 and tune the
television newly.

3

2

4

Press ON/STANDBY on the DVD/VCR and hold it until the
display shows rF:. The number next to rF: is the channel in
UHF-band to which you must tune your TV-set.

Note:

If you receive one TV-program on channel 59, 60 or 61, the interference can be occurred to the built-in TV channel
in DVD/VCR. If you use a scart cable for the transmission of picture and sound, you can cut off the built-in TV­program. Then the video playback through the supplied antenna cable is not possible any more. Press CHANNEL
repeatedly (at step 1) until OFF will appear.(OFF appears after 69 or before 23)

Press ON/STANDBY on the DVD/VCR to turn off the
DVD/VCR.

Video Head Clogging

The video heads record and playback pictures and sound on
the video tape. In the event that they become dirty you won't
be able to do a perfect recording and the playback picture will
be extremely snowy. Also, keep in mind that a poor tape
quality and a damaged cassette may contribute to the rapid
accumulation of dirt on the heads.

Automatic Head Cleaning System

The Automatic Head Cleaning System cleans the video heads automatically when a cassette is inserted and ejected
to prevent dirt from accumulating on the heads. However, manual head cleaning is needed if the picture on playback
is still unclear although the picture on program is normal. This failure signifies that the head is getting dirty and can
occur when playing poor quality or damaged tapes. If the heads require cleaning, use a high quality head-cleaning
cassette or have them cleaned professionally.

Attention:

Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures even after
having been carefully cleaned.
