Safety Information

Safe use and care of your equipment
We have designed and made this product to meet European
safety standards, but as with any electrical equipment you
must take care to get the longest working life from it and stay
safe. Here are a few tips to help you do this.
Read these instructions carefully before you try to use the
equipment.
Protect the mains lead. You must ensure the mains lead
cannot be walked on, crushed, chafed or cut.
Avoid harsh conditions such as wet or damp places, high
humidity, strong vibration, extremely high or low
temperatures, strong sunlight and places which are very dusty.
Never let anyone, especially children, push objects into holes
and ventilation slots.
To save power switch off mains power or pull out the mains
power plug when you are not using the equipment, unless the
function of the equipment requires a continuous power
supply.
Don't continue to use this equipment if you have spilt liquids
in it, if it is damaged in any way or if it does not work
normally. Immediately unplug the equipment and get expert
advice.
Pull the mains plug out of the wall socket during
thunderstorms.
This product is designed for domestic use only. Any other
use may invalidate the guarantee and might be dangerous.
Ventilation
Place the equipment on a hard flat surface away from direct
sunlight and heat sources. If it is in a cabinet, allow at least a
10cm gap all around. Don't obstruct the ventilation slots,
including those underneath, with soft furnishings.
Overheating will shorten the life of the equipment and
increase the risk of fire.
Cleaning
Disconnect the mains supply and use only a lightly dampened
soft cloth. Do not use chemical solvents or strong detergents as
these may damage the cosmetic finish.
Batteries
Remove batteries when the equipment is not to be used for a
long time. Batteries left in equipment may cause damage
through deterioration and corrosive leakage, invalidating the
guarantee. To protect the environment please use local
recycling facilities for battery disposal.
Disposal
Waste electrical and electronic products must
not be disposed of with household waste.
Please refer to the retailer from whom you
purchased this item for disposal instructions.
Batteries and packaging materials can be
recycled using your local collection facilities.
Important Safety warnings
• To prevent electric shock, do not remove any cover.
• If anything goes wrong, don’t try and fix it yourself, get a
qualified service agent to look at it.
• Do not expose this equipment to dripping or splashing or
place any objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the
equipment.
• Never put a naked flame source on or near the equipment.
• Small parts. Do not let young children play with the
equipment.
• Never operate the equipment and try to view video while
driving a vehicle.
• The mains plug shall remain readily operable.
Copyright warnings
Most records, compact discs and radio broadcasts contain
material, which is subject to copyright. It is unlawful to record
such material without the permission of the copyright owner.
Any person who makes a recording of such material without
the consent of the copyright owner may be liable to pay
damages to the copyright owner, and in some cases to criminal
prosecution.
Dew Warning
Moisture condensation may occur inside the unit when it is
moved from a cold place to a warm place, after heating up a
cold room, or under conditions of high humidity. Do not use
the VCR for at least 2 hours until it is dry inside.
Positioning
Do not place the VCR directly on top of, or underneath, your
TV set. Ensure that there is at least 20 cm between the VCR
and the TV set, and that air can circulate freely through the
ventilation openings of the VCR.
This equipment is double insulated and an earth
connection is not required.
This mark is applied to show the equipment
conforms to European safety and electromagnetic
compatibility standards.
Dangerous voltage constituting a risk of electric
shock is present inside this equipment.
There are important operating and maintenance
instructions in the literature accompanying this
equipment.

Video Cassette Tape
This VCR will operate with any cassette that bears the VHS
mark. For best results, we recommend the use of high-quality
tapes. Do not use poor quality or damaged tapes.
You can prevent accidental erasing of a recording by breaking
off the erase-prevention tab on the back edge of the cassette. If
you decide to record on the tape again, cover the hole with
plastic tape.
Two Different Tape Speeds
Before recording, select the tape speed : SP mode (Standard
Play) or LP mode (Long Play).
The table below shows the maximum recording/playback time
using E-60, E-120, E-180 or E-240 tapes in each mode.
TV Colour System
Different countries use different television colour systems.
Tapes recorded in the PAL, SECAM or NTSC system can be
played back on this unit. Usually, the picture on the TV screen
will be in black and white when you play back a tape that is
recorded in a different colour system.
Tapes recorded in the NTSC system can be played back on
this unit and a PAL system TV set. This feature is only
available in the SP mode. When playing back such tapes, the
picture may roll up or down, shrink vertically and black bars
may appear both at the top and bottom of the screen. Adjust
the vertical hold control on your TV, if the TV features this
control.
To insert the batteries:
Install two R6 batteries matching the polarity indicated inside
the battery compartment.
Caution
Do not mix old and new batteries. (Also never mix alkaline
batteries with manganese batteries.)

• Execution of the “Automatic” channel presetting cancels all
the preset channels. DO NOT use this feature if you intend

Copying a Video Tape
You can make copies of videotapes made by friends or relatives
for your own enjoyment.
WARNING:
• Unauthorised recordings of copyrighted video
tapes may be an infringement of copyright
laws.
Connect the recording VCR (this unit), playing VCR (another
VCR) and your TV as outline in the following diagram.
1) Insert a pre-recorded videocassette into the playing VCR.
2) Insert a blank videocassette, or one you want to record
over, into the cassette compartment of the recording
VCR.
3) Press SPEED/SYSTEM on the remote control to select the
desired recording speed (SP/LP).
4) Select “AV2” position on the recording VCR. See “Other
Connections”.
5) Press REC/OTR on the recording VCR.
6) Begin playback of the tape in the playing VCR.
7) To stop reco rding , press STOP/EJECT on the recording
VCR, then stop playback of the tape in the playing VCR.
Note:
• For best results during dubbing, use the VCR’s front panel
controls whenever possible. The remote control might
affect the playback VCR's operation.
• If video or colour fades in and out, you may be copying a
copy guarded video tape.
To Monitor the Recording
Turn on the TV and select the video channel on the TV.
A Status Display
To check the Counter, or Clock & Channel number, press
DISPLAY. Each time you press DISPLAY, TV screen will
change as illustrated:
When you select the channel using the number buttons, select
the desired channel (position number).
Note: If the on screen display or indicators on the front panel
show an abnormal reading or no reading, unplug the
VCR for 2 minutes, then plug it in again.
Please note that language, clock, and timer settings will
be cleared after disconnection.
Maintenance
Cabinet Cleaning
• Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of the
VCR with a soft cloth that has been immersed in lukewarm
water and wrung dry.
• Never use a solvent or alcohol. Do not spray insecticide
liquid near the VCR. Such chemicals may cause damage
and discolouration to the exposed surfaces.
Auto Head Cleaning
• This feature automatically cleans the heads as you insert or
remove a cassette to ensure a clear picture.
• The playback picture may become blurred or interrupted
even if the TV programme received is clear. This does not
mean that the recorded programme has been erased. This
problem is caused by dirt accumulated on the head after
long periods of use, or usage of rental or old tapes. In this
case, head cleaning requires highly technical expertise and
the nearest dealer should therefore be consulted. Clean
heads only when problems occur.
Service
Should your VCR become inoperative, do not try to correct
the problem by yourself. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside. Turn the unit off, unplug the power cord, and take the
unit to a Service Centre for servicing.
