◆Read carefully through this manual to familiarize yourself with this
high-quality video recorder.
◆Make sure the rating of your household electricity supply matches
that shown on the back of the video recorder.
◆Refer to this chapter and the "Initial installation" chapter to help
you install and adjust your video recorder.
Do not ...

working incorrectly, is making an unusual sound, has a strange
smell, has smoke emitting from it or liquids have got inside it. Have
a qualified technician check the recorder.
... you disconnect the power supply and aerial if you will not be using
the recorder for a long period or during a thunderstorm.

If you are not using a RCA cable, your video can transmit pictures and sound to the TV via the
coax aerial cable. Just tune the TV to the video's transmitting channel (factory set to UHF CH
26). Tune the TV carefully to ensure the best pictures and sound.
Once you have carried out the steps in
"Connecting up the video recorder" (page 4),
switch on your TV.
Press the OK button of the video’s remote control
longer than 5 seconds to call the video´s test
picture.
Tune the TV to the test picture using the channel
pre-set functions of your TV as described in its
manual.
When you have found the test picture, store it
under the button number on your TV for video
input.
Press the OK button of the video’s remote control
again longer than 5 seconds to release the test
picture.
Call the video’s "MAIN MENU" choose
"VCR Setup" then "RF Output Set".
Type in the free channel.
Store and exit.
If the quality of the test picture transmitted to the TV is poor due to interference caused by
a station transmitting on channel 26, you can tune the video to a different transmitting
channel. Find a free channel between 21 and 69 on your TV.
◆If the quality of the test picture transmitted to the TV is poor, fine-tuning on the TV may
help (refer to the TV manual).
