The 2005 range DVD Recorder products are repaired centrally.
Defective sets must be identified, labelled and stored for pick-up.
This document gives full instructions for a functional check.
Technical information to repair faulty sets is therefore not provided in this document.
To test in-coming sets the following must be performed:
1. Verify / Reproduce the customer’s problem
2. Verify that set has latest Firmware (see chapter 3) and upgrade if it is not the latest version.
3. Full functional check
