SET-UP AND SAFETY___________________________________
ENGLISH
5
This video recorder is designed to receive, record and play
back video and audio signals.
Any other use is expressly prohibited.
If the video recorder is subject to sudden changes in temperatu-
re, for example if it is brought in from the cold to a warm
room, connect it to the mains supply and let it stand for at least
two hours before you insert a video cassette.
The video recorder is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do
use it in the open, please ensure that it is protected from moi-
sture, such as rain or water splashes. Do not expose the video
recorder or cassettes to moisture.
Place the video recorder on a hard, level surface. Do not place
any objects (newspapers, for example) on top of the video
recorder or any cloth or similar items underneath it.
Do not place the video recorder near heating units or in direct
sunlight, as this will impair cooling. Keep the video recorder
away from devices which generate magnetic fields, such as
loudspeakers.
Do not insert any foreign objects into the video tape compart-
ment, as this may damage its precision mechanics.
Do not place any vessels such as vases on the video recorder
as they may spill liquid and present an electrical safety risk.
Thunderstorms present a danger to all electrical devices. Even
when the video recorder is switched off it can be damaged by
a lightning strike to the mains or antenna cable. Always
disconnect the mains and antenna plugs during a storm.
Do not open the video recorder casing under any circumstan-
ces. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage resulting
from improper handling.

TUNING______________________________________________________________
Tuning the video recorder and the
television
You do not need to do this if the video recorder and the televi-
sion are connected via a EURO-AV (Scart) cable.
1Switch on the television.
2Select the »AV« channel position on the television set for
recorder playback via the antenna cable.
3Tune the television to a free channel in the UHF band bet-
ween channel 21 and channel 69. A free channel is one
which does not carry a signal from a television station (you
can only see and hear static).
– Many televisions display the channel number.
4Store the free channel position on the television.
5Press »Ǽ« to switch the video recorder to stand-by, then
press and hold down »i«.
– The display on the video recorder reads something like
» CH 27 «.
6Set the channel (in this example, channel 29) by pressing
»*PÜ« on the video recorder, until the test picture from
the video recorder appears on your television screen.
7If the quality of the test picture is OK, press »i« to save the
setting.
– The video switches to stand-by.
Note:
If the quality of the test picture is unsatisfactory, or if the pic-
ture quality of other channels has deteriorated, then you
should find another free channel on the television and repe-
at the setting from steps 1to 5.
You can switch off the station on the video recorder. Fore
more information see the ”Switching the station on the
video recorder on and off” on Page 51.

TUNING _________________________________________________________________
Automatic channel tuning
(using ATS euro plus)
The video recorder has its own receiver unit. It can receive and
record from television stations independently of the television.
This means you must tune the television stations on the video
recorder.
During this setting the clock is automatically updated. However,
this is only possible if channel position 1 on the video recorder
is occupied by a station with teletext.
There are 99 channel positions available which can be assig-
ned as required to television stations received via the antenna,
cable connection or satellite receiver.
If a VCR-SAT module or a satellite receiver with a SAT
control socket is connected to the video recorder, the stations
received through the VCR-SAT module or the satellite receiver
are saved in the station list, in addition to the stations received
through the antenna or the cable connection.
Note:
The VCR-SAT module or satellite receiver must be connected
before the settings are made, see Page 12 or 14.
Note on recording television programs with the
Megalogic function:
If the video recorder is connected to a television set with
Megalogic functions, this setting transfers the programs
stored in the television to the video recorder.
But the programs are not transferred if the »SAT CONTROL
ON« setting is selected in the »SAT RECEIVER« menu.
