So m e Do 's An d Do n 'ts O n Th e Sa fe

Use O f Eq u ip m e n t

This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any

electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.

DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.

DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnec-

tions between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer's

instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.

DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equip-

ment.

DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.

DON'T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is

damaged in any way — switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.

DON'T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.

DON'T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is de-

signed for unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the

equipment and make sure that your family knows how to do this. Special arrangements may need

to be made for infirm or handicapped people.

DON'T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements

of road safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.

DON'T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your hearing.

DON'T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings. Overheat-

ing will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.

DON'T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete safety always

fit the manufacturer's approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instruc-

tions.

DON'T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.

ABOVE ALL...

— NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the

case — this could result in a fatal electrical shock;

— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe than

sorry!

ATTEN TIO N

N O TES:

●

Once you have performed Auto Set Up, all the stored

stations, Guide Program numbers and the video channel

remain in the recorder's memory and the recorder will not

perform Auto Set Up again. If there is a power cut and the

recorder's memory backup expires you only need to reset

the clock. (☞ pg. 39)

Auto channel set function takes place first; it assigns

automatically all receivable stations in your area.

Auto clock set function sets the clock automatically.

During auto channel set, the recorder recognizes each

station name of the detected stations and stores them in

the recorder's memory, then automatically sets the VIDEO

Plus+ assigned Guide Program number for those stations

according to the broadcast area.

For RF connection users: The video recorder detects the

channels which are not occupied by local stations and selects

one channel automatically for your Video Channel that is

located in the middle of more than 5 vacant channels.

PDC Re co rd in g

Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme Delivery Control) is a service designed to assure safe, accurate timer

recording. With this system, special code signals are transmitted together with the audio/video signals. These code signals

control your video recorder and have precedence over the advertised times which you may have preset into the timer. This

means that your recorder will start and stop recording when the preset TV programmes actually start and end — even if the

broadcast time of a preset TV programme is changed from what has been advertised. PDC is currently available nationally on

BBC1, BBC2, Ch.4 and Ch.5, except from a few small relay transmitters. Ch.3 operates a PDC service only in a very few areas.

All channels intend to offer this service in due course. Check your TV programme listing guide for latest information. If the

channel you intend to record does not offer a PDC service your recorder will not start recording if PDC has been selected. Be

sure to set PDC to "OFF" if PDC is not available on your selected channel ( step 5 above).

PDC recording is also possible when a satellite receiver or a cable system is connected to AV2 IN on your recorder.

PDC recording is also possible via the AV1 IN/OUT connector.

N O TES:

●

When watching a tape recorded with “B.E.S.T.” set to “ON”, it

When watching a rental tape or one recorded on another

video recorder, or when using this recorder as the player for

N O TES:

●

The Auto SP→LP Timer feature is not available during ITR

(Instant Timer Recording), and the feature will not work

properly with any tapes longer than E-180 or with some tapes

of shorter lengths.

●

If you have programmed the recorder to timer-record 2 or more

programmes, the second programme and those thereafter may

not fit on the tape if you set "AUTO SP→LP TIMER" to "ON". In

this case, make sure the mode is not engaged, then set the tape

speed manually during timer programming.

●

In order to ensure that the recording fits on the tape, this

feature may leave a short non-recorded section at the end of

the tape.

There may be some picture noise and sound disturbance at

the point on the tape where the recorder switches from SP to

LP mode.

If you perform timer recording with both PDC and the Auto

SP→LP Timer activated, and the programme goes beyond its

originally scheduled length, there may be times when the

programme cannot be recorded in its entirety.

MAKE CONNECTIONS

●

This recorder has a dynamic range of more than 80 dB with

regards to its Hi-Fi audio capability. It is recommended that

you check the maximum level if you are going to listen to the

Hi-Fi audio signals through a stereo amplifier. A sudden surge

in the input level to the speakers may damage them.

Connect the AUDIO OUT L and R connectors on your

video recorder to the AUX IN or TAPE MONITOR

terminals on your stereo system's receiver or amplifier.

●

Some speakers and televisions are specially shielded to

prevent television interference. If both are of the non-shielded

type, do not place the speakers adjacent to the TV set as this

can adversely affect the video playback picture.

N O TES:

●

When connecting your recorder's audio output connectors to

a stereo amplifier, make sure you connect L and R correctly.

If you can receive NICAM TV broadcasts in your area, this

●

recorder can record them independently of the TV set and

play them back through the connected stereo system.

When listening to sound through the connected stereo

●

system, turn the TV's volume down completely.
