2. Safety Information, General Notes
2.1 Description of the Production Number on the
type plate
The type plate of the set contains a production number that
consists of the following:
2.1.1 The Site Code (Production center)
The site code consists of 2 letters and relates to the factory
assembling and/or equipping the products. The site code
letters valid for Consumer Electronics are stated in UAT-0477.
The code is used to trace the production site of the model
number,
e.g. VN...Szekesfehervar
KB...Hasselt
KT...SBI Electronics Shenzhen
2.1.2 BOM Code
The BOM code is used to link the model to the actual Bill Of
Material used for assembly during set production. One set
modelcanbe made up ofdifferentstandarddesigns / modules.
This depends on the material availability in the production or
the development progress of the successor modules. Different
modules may be used during the same production period or
changed back and forth from one week to the other.
BOM version 1 gets BOM code 1, BOM version 2 gets BOM
code 2, etc. Allowed codes are 1-9, A-Z.
2.1.3 Service Version Change Code
The service version change code, which has to be
recognizable for service and production departments, is used
to indicate a production change that is considered as a major
change affecting the “serviceability” of the product. A major
change is occurring when a safety component is changed or
when the servicer needs additional information to repair the
set. E.g. when the software is changed or when an IC and its
peripheral circuit are changed. Allowed characters are (A-Z, 0-
9) to be used in the following sequence: A-Z followed by 0-9.
2.1.4 Production year/week code
Indicates the actual week of set assembly. Made up of the last
two digits of year plus production week.
2.1.5 Serial number
The six digit serial numbers.
2.2 Safety Instructions
2.2.1 General Safety
Safety regulations require that during a repair:
• Connect the unit to the mains via an isolation transformer.
• Replace safety components, indicated by the symbol ,
only by components identical to the original ones. Any
othercomponent substitution(otherthan originaltype)may
increase risk of fire or electrical shock hazard.
Safety regulations require that after a repair, you must return
the unit in its original condition. Pay, in particular, attention to
the following points:
• Route the wires/cables correctly, and fix them with the
mounted cable clamps.
• Check the insulation of the mains lead for external
damage.
• Checkthe electricalDC resistancebetweenthe mainsplug
and the secondary side:
1. Unplug the mains cord, and connect a wire between
the two pins of the mains plug.
2. Set the mains switch to the 'on' position (keep the
mains cord unplugged!).
3. Measure the resistance value between the mains plug
and the front panel, controls, and chassis bottom.
4. Repair or correct unit when the resistance
measurement is less than 1 MΩ.
5. Verify this, before you return the unit to the customer/
user (ref. UL-standard no. 1492).
6. Switch the unit ‘off’, and remove the wire between the
two pins of the mains plug.

2.3.1 General
• All ICs and many other semiconductors are susceptible to
electrostatic discharges (ESD, ). Careless handling
during repair can reduce life drastically. Make sure that,
during repair, you are at the same potential as the mass of
the set by a wristband with resistance. Keep components
and tools at this same potential. Available ESD protection
equipment:
– Complete kit ESD3 (small tablemat, wristband,
connectionbox,extension cable andearth cable) 4822
310 10671.

– Wristband tester 4822 344 13999.
• Becareful duringmeasurements inthe livevoltage section.
Theprimary sideof thepower supply(pos. 1005),including
the heatsink, carries live mains voltage when you connect
the player to the mains (even when the player is 'off'!). It is
possible to touch copper tracks and/or components in this
unshielded primary area, when you service the player.
Service personnel must take precautions to prevent
touching this area or components in this area. A 'lightning
stroke' and a stripe-marked printing on the printed wiring
board, indicate the primary side of the power supply.
• Never replace modules, or components, while the unit is
‘on’.
2.3.2 Laser
• The use of optical instruments with this product, will
increase eye hazard.
• Only qualified service personnel may remove the cover or
attempt to service this device, due to possible eye injury.
• Repair handling should take place as much as possible
with a disc loaded inside the player.
• Text below is placed inside the unit, on the laser cover

Connecting additional devices only via aerial cable
If you want to connect additional devices (e.g. satellite receiver...) only via aerial cable, please observe the following: The DVD-Recorder must be connected directly to the TV set. If there is a video recorder or an additional device in between, the picture quality may be poor because of the copy protection system built into the DVD-Recorder. The additional device (satellite receiver) must be connected before the
DVD recorder (additional device - DVD recorder - TV set). Only the TV set must be connected to the TV OUT socket.
If there is interference in the picture when the additional device is switched on, a TV broadcaster may be transmitting on the same channel or a channel very close to that of the additional device. (e.g.: TV broadcaster on channel 45, additional device (satellite receiver) also on channel 45). In this case, change the channel of the additional device (satellite receiver). Consult the instruction manual of the additional device. You must also store this channel on the DVD recorder to be able to record TV programmes from the additional device (satellite receiver). Switch on the additional device during the installation of the DVD recorder. During the automatic channel search, the channel on which the additional device is transmitting will be stored as a TV channel.
Connecting a camcorder to the front sockets
To copy camcorder recordings, you can use the front sockets. These sockets are located behind the flap on the right hand side. Digital (DV) input socket If you have a DV or Digital 8 camcorder, connect the DV IN (CAM2) input of the DVD recorder to the appropriate DV output on the camcorder. Choose 'CAM2' as a programme number for this input.
During recording on a DVD+RW/+R the original recording date and time are stored as DVD subtitles. On playback, this data can be displayed on the TV screen by using the '
E
'
function (Subtitle).
Svideo input socket If you have a Hi8 or S-VHS(C) camcorder, connect the S-VIDEO (CAM1) input of the DVD recorder to the appropriate S-VHS output on the camcorder. You must also connect the audio input AUDIO L/R (CAM1) on the DVD recorder to the audio output on the camcorder. Choose 'CAM1' as a programme number for this input. Video (CVBS) input socket If you have a camcorder that only has a single video output (Composite Video, CVBS), connect the VIDEO (CAM1) input on the DVD
recorder to the appropriate output on the camcorder. You must also connect the audio input AUDIO L/R (CAM1) on the DVD recorder to the audio output on the camcorder. Choose 'CAM1' as a programme number for this input.
Connecting audio devices to the analogue audio sockets
Two analogue audio sockets AUDIO OUT L/R (audio signal output left/right) are located at the back of the DVD recorder. These can be used to connect the following: •) a receiver with Dolby Surround Pro Logic •) a receiver with twochannel analogue stereo
Can I use the 'Phono' input on my amplifier? This socket (input) on the amplifier is designed only for a record player without preamplifiers. Do not use this input for connecting the DVD recorder. The DVD recorder or the amplifier may be damaged as a result.

Connecting additional devices to the second scart socket
You can connect additional devices such as decoders, satellite receivers, camcorders, etc. to the EXT2 AUX-I/O socket. When playback is started on this additional device the DVD recorder automatically connects the EXT2 AUX-I/O scart socket with the
EXT1 TO TV-I/O scart socket. You will then see the picture from the
additional device on your TV set, even if the DVD recorder is switched off.
O
The TV/DVD button on the remote control allows you to switch between playback through the EXT2 AUX-I/O scart socket and playback from the DVD recorder.
Connecting a video recorder, DVD player. You can also connect a video recorder or a DVD player to the EXT2 AUX-I/O input socket. The DVD recorder must be connected directly to the TV set ( EXT1
TO TV-I/O socket directly to the TV set). If there is a video recorder in between the picture quality may be poor because of the copy protection system built into the DVD recorder.
O
If you already have an external receiver (satellite receiver, set-top box, cable TV box) connected to this socket, you can connect the video recorder to the 'VCR', 'TO VCR', ...socket of the external receiver.
O
You can also use the front sockets S-VIDEO (CAM1) ,
VIDEO (CAM1) and the AUDIO L/R (CAM1) audio
sockets.
Connecting an external receiver 1Connect the scart socket of the receiver (satellite receiver,
set-top box, cable TV box,...) provided for the TV set (usually labelled 'TV', 'TO TV',...) with the EXT2 AUX-I/O socket of the DVD recorder.
O
If your external receiver offers several options for the signal available at the 'TV', 'TO TV',... socket, choose the 'RGB' setting.
Why can't I use the 'VCR', 'TO VCR',... socket? In order to achieve the best possible picture quality, you must use the RGB (red-green-blue) signal of the receiver. As a rule, this signal is available at the 'TV', 'TO TV',... socket. The DVD recorder transfers the signal to the EXT1 TO TV-I/O socket.
Some receivers only provide a 'Video (CVBS/FBAS)' signal at the 'VCR', 'TO VCR'...socket. If you are satisfied with the picture quality of the 'VCR', 'TO VCR',... socket, you can also use this socket. Read the instruction manual of the receiver which signals are available at the sockets.
Connecting additional receivers For additional receivers, you can also use the EXT1 TO TV-I/O socket (if the TV set is connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT sockets), and VIDEO (CAM1) ,S-VIDEO (CAM1) sockets at the front. Please observe that you also have to connect an audio cable to the AUDIO L/R (CAM1) socket.

Connection using a component video (Y Pb Pr/YUV) cable
Component video (Y Pb Pr) is the highest quality picture transmission option. This is achieved by dividing the video signal into a luminance signal (Y) and two colour difference signals - red minus luminance (V) and blue minus luminance (U). As a rule, "Cr, Pr" or "R-Y" is used to describe the red difference signal and "Cb, Pb" or "B-Y" the blue difference signal. These signals are transmitted through separate lines. The connectors of this cable and the corresponding sockets are usually green (luminance, Y), blue (U, Pb, Cb, B-Y), and red (V, Pr, Cr, R-Y). Attention! If you choose this type of connection, the DVD recorder must already be connected and completely installed (initial installation complete).
