Please keep the video’s guarantee sheet (pages 29 and 30) and receipt for your video in
a safe place.
◆Read this booklet carefully.
◆Make sure the rating of your household electricity supply matches
that shown on the back of the video recorder.
◆Read this chapter and the ‘Setting up your video’ chapter to help
you set up and adjust your video recorder.
◆Do not put the video recorder in a hot or humid place (to avoid the
risk of fire and electric shock).
◆ Do not open the video recorder. Get a qualified technician to carry
out any repairs.
◆Do not connect the video recorder to the power supply if you have
just moved it from a cold environment to a warm room. This can
lead to condensation inside the video which can seriously damage
the video and cassettes. Wait around two hours to allow it to reach
room temperature.
◆Put the video on a steady, flat surface.
◆Make sure there is good ventilation all around the video.
◆Only clean the video with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use harsh or
alcohol-based cleaning agents.
For your own safety!
◆There are no parts in this video recorder you can service
or repair yourself.
◆Do not open the case of the video recorder. Only allow a
qualified engineer to repair or service your video.
◆This video recorder is designed to work continuously.
Switching it off (onto stand-by) does not disconnect it
from the mains. To disconnect it from the mains, you
have to unplug it.
PAL
The power cable must be fitted with a fused plug approved
by ASTA or BSI to BS 1362 and provided with a 5A fuse.
The fuse cover must always be securely replaced. If the
video recorder is not working, the fuse may need replacing
(see also ‘Electrical connection’ on page 26).
Precautions
“People are always telling me that instructions for using electrical goods are the most difficult to understand.
We have worked closely with Daewoo to make these instructions crystal clear. I hope this instruction book helps
you to use your new video. We would be interested to hear your views. Please write to us at
PO Box 3, New Mills, High Park, England. SK22 4QP”.
