Thank you for choosing the Pace Twin Digital TV Recorder. Please follow the instructions
in this manual carefully to enjoy all the advantages of digital TV. We advise following the
user instructions and recommendations supplied with your TV Recorder, especially for
first-time use. Your TV Recorder fully complies with international DVB (Digital Video
Broadcasting) standards. It is compatible with televisions and VCRs equipped with a
standard SCART connector, also UHF, composite video or S-Video connectors.
Your TV Recorder's packaging includes cardboard and plastic which can be recycled to
protect the environment.
Storage
If your TV Recorder is not used directly after purchase, it can be stored in its original
packaging, in a cool dry place, at a temperature between -6°C and +50°C. Before use,
wait until your TV Recorder has reached room temperature.
Maintenance
To clean your TV Recorder, dust with either a clean dry cloth, or one that has been
slightly dampened with distilled water. Never use detergents of any kind. Before
cleaning, always disconnect the power from your TV Recorder and unplug the aerial
lead.
Information in this manual is correct at the time of going to print. Channel availability is
subject to signal coverage and may change at the discretion of the broadcaster.
Reception of these channels may depend on the type and condition of existing aerial
equipment and installation.
If your TV aerial needs upgrading, we recommend that this is carried out by a
professional installation engineer.

Your TV Recorder has been manufactured to meet international safety standards, but
you must take care to operate it safely.
It is important that you read these safety instructions. If you have any doubts about the
installation, operation or safety of your TV Recorder, please contact the Technical
Helpdesk* on 0870 120 0986 (national call rate) or e-mail [email protected]
WARNING
Remember that contact with AC mains can be lethal or can cause severe electric shock.
To avoid the risk of electric shock:
Never remove the top cover from your TV Recorder. There are no user-
serviceable parts inside, but there are some high-voltage live parts.
Make sure all electrical connections are properly made.
Do not connect any equipment to the mains supply until you have properly
connected all the other leads.
Disconnect the mains lead from the mains wall socket before you disconnect
any equipment from your TV Recorder.
Never push anything into holes, slots or other openings in the case (except a
viewing card into the slot provided, and only when you are requested to do so).
CAUTION
Do not use or store your TV Recorder in hot, cold, damp or dusty places.
Do not block the ventilation holes of your TV Recorder. Leave a gap of at least
10cm above and around it to allow for adequate ventilation. Never stand it on
soft furnishings.
Do not put anything on your TV Recorder which might drip or spill into
it. Never stand objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on top of your TV
Recorder.
Do not place your TV Recorder in an unventilated cabinet or on top of a unit
which emits heat (e.g. a VCR).
Never place naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on top of your TV
Recorder.
Do not pick up or otherwise move your TV Recorder while it is connected to
the mains supply. If you want to move your TV Recorder, first disconnect it,
then wait at least 30 seconds before continuing.
* Calls to the Helpdesk may be monitored or recorded for training purposes.
USING EQUIPMENT SAFELY

The supplied plug may be a non-rewireable type
or a rewireable type. Both types contain an
approved 3A fuse. If you need to replace the
fuse, you must use an ASTA- or BSI-approved
BS1362 fuse, rated at 3A and marked:
The non-rewireable plug has its fuse beneath a fuse
cover on its face. Use a screwdriver to lever off the fuse
cover, replace the fuse with a new one and refit its
cover. Never use a plug if its fuse cover is missing.
The fuse is inside the rewireable plug .Use a screwdriver
to remove the plug’s back cover, then lever out the fuse
and replace it with a new one. Replace the plug’s back
cover.
If the supplied mains plug is not suitable for your mains socket-outlet, remove
its fuse and then cut the plug off the lead. Destroy the severed plug
immediately to avoid the shock hazard which would exist if this were to be
plugged into a mains socket.
Fit an appropriate mains plug on the lead. If this plug contains a fuse, it
should be as described above. If you are using a non-fused plug, an external
fuse must not exceed 5A.
Your TV Recorder operates with 115 – 230V AC, 50/60Hz mains supplies. Do not
connect it to a DC power supply.
The supplied mains lead has a 2-way connector at one end and a mains plug at the
other. Insert the 2-way connector into your TV Recorder before you insert the plug into
the mains supply.
The only way to disconnect your TV Recorder from the mains is to remove the mains
lead. Your TV Recorder must therefore be installed near to the mains socket-outlet,
which should be easily accessible.
For information about the mains plug and its fuse, see above.
If you are in any doubt about the mains lead, its plug or its connection, consult a
competent electrician.
