Important notes for users in U.K.
Mains plug
This apparatus is tted with an approved 13
Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of
plug proceed as follows:
1Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362
5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3Ret the fuse cover.
If the tted plug is not suitable for your socket
outlets, it should be cut off and an
appropriate plug tted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should
have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a
fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board
should not be greater than 5 Amp.
Note: The severed plug must be disposed off to
avoid a possible shock hazard should it be
inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with
the following code: blue = neutral (N),
brown = live (L).
As these colours may not correspond with
the colour markings identifying the terminals
in your plug, proceed as follows:
– Connect the blue wire to the terminal
marked N or coloured black.
– Connect the brown wire to the terminal
marked L or coloured red.
– Do not connect either wire to the earth
terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or
coloured green (or green and yellow).
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain
that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath
of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

Care and Safety Information
CAUTION!
High voltage! Do not open the
device. You run the risk of getting
an electric shock.
The machine does not contain any
user-serviceable parts. Please leave
all maintenance work to qualied
personnel.
Setup precautions
Finding a suitable location
– Place the set on a at, hard and stable
surface. Do not place the set on a carpet.
– Do not place the set on top of other
equipment that might heat it up (e.g.,
receiver or amplier).
– Do not put anything above or under
the set (e.g., CDs, magazines).
– Install this unit near the AC outlet and
where the AC power plug can be
reached easily.
Space for ventilation
– Keep space allowances of 20 cm around
ventilation openings of the apparatus. Do
not place the device on an unsteady base.
– The mains plug shall remain readily
operable.
10cm (4") 10cm (4")
5cm (2")
5cm (2")
Avoid high temperature, moisture,
water and dust
– Apparatus should not be exposed to
any dripping or splashing.
– Do not place any object or items that
can damage the apparatus (e.g., liquid
lled objects, lighted candles).
Cleaning discs
Some problems occur (frozen picture,
sound disruptions, picture distortions)
because the disc in the apparatus is dirty.
To avoid these problems, discs should be
cleaned on a regular basis.
To clean a disc, use a micro bre cleaning
cloth and wipe the disc from centre to
the edge in straight line movement.
CAUTION!
Do not use solvents such as benzene,
thinner, commercially available cleaners,
or anti-static sprays for discs.
Since the optical unit (laser) of the
recorder operates at a higher power than
regular DVD or CD players, Cleaning CD
intended for DVD or CD players may
damage the optical unit (laser). Therefore,
refrain from using a Cleaning CD.
About recycling
These operating instructions have been
printed on non-polluting paper. This
electronic equipment contains a large
number of materials that can be recycled.
If you are disposing an old equipment,
please take it to a recycling centre. Please
observe the local regulations regarding
disposal of packaging materials, exhausted
batteries and old equipment.

Step 1: Basic Recorder Connections
Connecting the antenna
cables
These connections enable you to watch
and record TV programmes using the
recorder. If the antenna signal is
connected via Cable Box or Satellite
Receiver, ensure that these devices are
turned on in order to watch or record
the cable programmes.
If you want to connect to a Cable
Box/Satellite Receiver, see the
chapter “Step 2 : Optional Connections
– Connecting to a Cable Box or Satellite
Receiver” for the complete connections
to your TV.
AConnect the existing Antenna/Satellite
Receiver/Cable TV signal (labelled as RF
OUT or TO TV) to the ANTENNA
socket on the recorder.
BConnect the supplied RF coaxial cable
from the TV socket on the recorder
to the antenna input socket (or labelled
as VHF/UHF RF IN) on your TV.
Helpful Hint:
– Depending on how you have connected
your TV channel (directly from an off-air
antenna or Cable box or VCR), you may have
to disconnect some of the cables before you
make the antenna connection.
TIPS: Before making or changing any connections, make sure that all the devices are disconnected
from the power outlet.
