Safety and environmental instructions
Your receiver has been manufactured to meet the appropriate safety standards, but the
instructions below should be followed to operate it safely.
These instructions must be kept for future reference.
- Before connecting the receiver to the mains, check that the mains supply voltage corresponds
to the voltage printed on the rear of the receiver. If the mains voltage is different, consult the
dealer.
- The receiver does not contain any user-serviceable parts. All maintenance work must be carried
out by qualified personnel.
- If you disconnect the receiver from the mains, make sure to unplug it from the wall socket and
not just from the AC socket at the back of the unit. Children could seriously injure themselves,
as the free end of the cable is still alive.
- Unplug the receiver during lightning storms.
- To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this equipment to rain or moisture.
- The receiver should be placed on a firm surface, and the ventilation openings must not be
covered with items such as newspapers, table clothes, curtains, etc.
- Do not install the receiver near any heat sources such as radiators, stoves or any other
apparatus that produces heat. Protect it from direct sunlight.
- When installing the receiver, ensure there is a gap of approximately 2.5 cm around the receiver
to enable air to circulate freely and prevent overheating.
- Leave accessible the mains connector at the back of the unit in case emergency shutdown is
required.
- Do not place any combustible objects on the receiver (candles, etc.).
- No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the unit. The receiver should
not be exposed to dripping or splashing. Should this happen, disconnect your receiver from the
mains and consult your dealer.
- Make sure that children do not place any foreign objects in any of the openings.
- For cleaning, use a soft, damp (not wet) cloth. Never use any abrasive cloth or aerosol cleaners.

The Easy Recording feature allows you to perform recordings without the necessity to program
your video recorder (VCR or DVD recorder). When you set a recording reminder or timer from
the Channel Banner or Timer Manager, the VCR starts/ends recording at the correct time.
Please note, however, that you may only use the Easy Recording feature provided that your
recorder supports it.
• First of all, consult User Manual of your recorder equipment to check if it supports Easy
Recording. Please note that most Philips VCR/DVD recorders support one of the two Easy
Recording options: either Prepare Record (to be checked first) or Record Link.
• Also, both your TV and VCR shall be equipped with two SCART sockets.
If your equipment satisfies above two conditions, connect your receivers as shown in the
Connection diagram below.
Then, select the System Settings item from the Settings submenu, enable the Easy Recording
feature by setting its option to YES, and assign to the Recording Type an appropriate value:
either Prepare Record or Record Link. You might have to test both settings to find out the one
applicable for your recorder.
