Safety instructions

video recorder

Setting up the

◆ Thank you for buying this Goodmans video recorder.

◆ Please read this instruction book before you use your video recorder.

◆ This video recorder can record and play cassettes with the VHS-standard

mark.

• Do not take the cover off this video recorder. If something goes wrong, don’t try and fix it

yourself. Contact Comet after-sales service for advice.

• When the video recorder is plugged into the power supply there are some parts that are

always working. To switch off the video recorder completely you must unplug it from the

power supply.

• This video recorder is designed to run from the UK standard mains supply of 230 volts, 50

Hertz.

• Make sure air can flow freely through the ventilation slots on the video recorder.

• Don’t put objects containing liquid on the video recorder. If liquid spills into the video

recorder, unplug it immediately and contact Comet after-sales service for advice.

• Pull the mains plug out of the wall socket and disconnect the aerial lead during

thunderstorms. (The clock and timer settings will be lost after about one hour.)

• Do not let anyone push objects into holes and ventilation slots.

Important points

• Condensation can damage your video recorder. If the video recorder is cold when you

unpack it, leave it for several hours to become room temperature. Do not use the video

recorder immediately after moving from a cold room to a hot room or a hot room to a cold

room. Do not use the video recorder in very damp conditions.

• Most televisions switch automatically to the AV (audio video) channel when a video

cassette is played. If your television does not do this automatically you will have to turn it

to ‘EXT’, ‘0’, ‘AV’ or ‘scart’.

• Under normal circumstances keep your video recorder plugged into the mains all the time,

otherwise the aerial connection to your television will be interrupted and the television

picture will be poor.

• If there is a power cut, the video recorder will keep the time and record timer set for up

to an hour. After that, the video recorder will tell you to start the automatic installation

procedure again, as described on page 13. You will also have to re-set the timer

programmes.

• Throw away old remote control batteries at a battery disposal point.

• Please recycle your video recorder’s packaging. When your video recorder is worn out,

take it to your local recycling point.

• The video recorder switches on automatically and the green front-panel display gets

brighter when you put a cassette in or press a control button.

The mains plug

Setting up the

Please remove the fuse from the old moulded plug and throw it away to prevent

anyone from plugging it into the mains and getting an electric shock.

We have fitted this video recorder with a moulded 13-amp plug. To change a fuse in this

type of plug:

• prise open the fuse cover on the connecting-pin face of the plug with a small screwdriver

and lift out the fuse cover with the fuse;

• put a new BS1362, 3-amp, ASTA or BSI-approved fuse in the cover; and

• replace the fuse cover and fuse.

Do not use this kind of plug without the fuse cover fitted.

If your moulded plug is not suitable for your mains supply socket, buy an adapter to match

the moulded plug to your supply socket. Or cut the moulded plug off and fit an appropriate

plug in its place. The plug you fit or the distribution board feeding your mains supply socket

must have a fuse rated at no more than 5 amps.

Cleaning your video recorder

Unplug the video recorder and use only a lightly dampened soft cloth . Do not use chemical

solvents or strong detergents as these may damage the cabinet finish.

• By law, you may need to get the permission of the copyright owner before you record

anything.

• VIDEOPlus+ and PlusCode are trademarks of the Gemstar Development Corporation.

• The VIDEOPlus+ system is made under licence from Gemstar Development Corporation.

• This video recorder is not designed for use in tropical climates.

• This video recorder is designed for use only in the UK and cannot be modified.

For televisions without a Scart socket

1 Unplug the aerial cable from the back of your television and plug it into the ANT IN

socket on the back of your video recorder.

2 Plug one end of the aerial cable provided into the aerial socket on your television. The

cable only fits one way round, so look at the ends to see which one matches the

television aerial socket. Plug the other end of the cable into the ANT OUT socket on the

back of the video recorder.

Plug the scart cable into the lower scart socket marked EURO AV1 at the back of your video

recorder. If your television has more than one scart socket it is best to connect your video

recorder to the one that has automatic video switching (please see ‘In step three’ below).

4 Plug the moulded mains plug on the end of the mains cable into the mains socket on your

wall and switch on the power (if there is a power switch).

5 Switch your video recorder off by pressing the POWER button again.

In step three, if you are not sure which scart socket to use you will have to:

• read your television instructions; or

• find out which scart socket lets you see a picture from the video recorder as soon as you

play a video cassette or press the remote control MENU button.

How to play a video cassette is described on page 22.

Next you will have to tune in the television stations as described under ‘Auto-set’ on page 13.

Automatic video channel selection

If the video recorder is connected to the television with a scart cable you will normally see the

video recorder picture when you play a video cassette. You will also see the video recorder

picture when you select one of the on-screen menus (see ‘Control menus’ on page 7).

You might not see the video recorder picture if your television does not have automatic video

channel selection. To find out if you have automatic video channel selection, keep pressing the

TV/VCR button and see if the picture changes between the television picture and the video

recorder picture. When a small ‘VCR’ symbol shows on the front of the video recorder, the

television should be showing the video recorder picture.

If you don’t have automatic video channel selection, select the video channel with your

television remote control.

Through the aerial cable

You can also connect extra equipment between the external aerial cable and your video recorder. Set the

equipment to produce a picture you will recognise (please read the equipment’s instruction book to find out

how to do this). Then tune one of the video recorder’s programme numbers to the new equipment. ‘Manual

channel search’ on page 14 tells you how to do this. Please also read ‘What to do if you get picture

interference’ on page 12. The television sound will be mono if you listen through this connection.

Through the EURO AV2 / DECODER scart socket

You can connect extra equipment such as a satellite receiver or a decoder to the EURO AV2/DECODER

scart socket. Some satellite and digital television ‘set-top boxes’ have scart sockets labelled especially

for your video recorder and television. Please read the user instructions for your ‘set-top box’ for details.

Select and monitor the AV2 input by pressing the AV button until ‘AV2’ appears on the screen. How to

make a recording from equipment connected to the AV2 scart socket is described under ‘Recording from

other equipment’ on page 30 and ‘Tips for using a decoder’ on page 40.

You can set the EURO AV2 scart socket to work either as a normal scart socket or as a decoder socket.

In the UK, decoders are usually part of a satellite receiver or digital television ‘set-top box’, so you

would not normally need to use the decoder feature. Appendix 2 at the back of this booklet tells you

how to use a decoder with this video recorder.

Through the front AV input

You can connect a camcorder, video game and so on to the front

audio and video (AV) input sockets if you have a connecting cable

ending in RCA phono plugs. Select and monitor the front AV input

by pressing the AV button until ‘F. AV’ appears on the screen.

Please read the instructions for the equipment and see ‘Recording

from other equipment’ on page 30.

Amplifier

A hi-fi amplifier or a surround-sound amplifier will reproduce sound from your video recorder if it is

connected using the RCA sockets marked ‘AUDIO-L’ and ‘R’ at the back of your video recorder. Please

read the amplifier instruction book to find out how to do this. We have shown the amplifier connection

in ‘Typical connections for a satellite or digital receiver with a video recorder and a hi-fi amplifier’ on

the previous page.

The stand-by button

Power saving

When the video recorder is on stand-by, it is nearly all switched off, uses

little power and is ready to make timed recordings. The stand-by button

switches the video recorder on with one press and back to stand-by with

another press. The front-panel display of the video recorder gets dimmer

when the video recorder is on stand-by.

When you load a video cassette tape or press a control button, stand-by is

cancelled and the video recorder switches on.

Emergency exit

If you get into difficulties or you are not sure you are pressing the right

buttons, just press the stand-by button and start again. No matter which

buttons you press, you cannot damage your video recorder.

What to do if you get picture interference

Each television programme uses a certain broadcast channel in the broadcast band. An

electronic part called the ‘modulator’ inside your video recorder sends a signal to the aerial

input of your television just like the signals sent by the television transmitters. So, the

modulator uses part of the broadcasting band and we might talk about the ‘modulator

channel’.

Sometimes the modulator channel will already be used by another television station in your

reception area. In this case the picture quality on your television will be poor when the

television is receiving one or more broadcasts and the video recorder is switched on. In

severe cases of interference you may not even recognise the video recorder picture. Here is

what to do about it.

After ‘Getting started - For televisions without a scart socket’ on page 8...

• Switch your television on and select the programme number you have chosen for the

video channel (see the instruction book for your television).

• Press the POWER button on the video recorder to switch it on. In the video

recorder’s panel display, you should see ‘RF’ (flashing) followed by the

modulator channel number. If this does not appear in the display, follow ‘After auto-set’

below.

• Change the modulator channel number by pressing the number buttons 0 to 9 on the

remote control. You must choose a number from 21 to 69. The new modulator channel

number will show on the display.

• Go back to step 6 of ‘For televisions without a scart socket’ on page 8 and try again.

After ‘Auto-set’ on page 13...

• Press and hold the OK button on the remote control for at least five

seconds until ‘RF’ flashes in the video recorder display. The number next to

‘RF’ is the modulator channel number.

• Change the modulator channel number by pressing the number buttons 0 to 9 on the

remote control. You must choose a number from 21 to 69. The new modulator channel

number will show on the display.

• Tune the television in the UHF waveband until a picture like

the one below appears, and memorise it under the video

programme number. (Please read the instruction book for

your television to see how to do this.)

• Press the POWER button on the video recorder or the

button on the remote control.

• Press the POWER button on the video recorder or the

button on the remote control again, to turn the video recorder back on.

• Check all the programme numbers that are tuned to the broadcast stations, your video

recorder and any other equipment to check there is no picture interference.

There is another way of changing the modulator channel, which is described in Appendix 1

on page 39.

Setting up the

Auto-set

The video recorder will search the broadcast band for all television programmes. This is

known as ‘auto-set’. It stores the television programmes it finds in the following order:

BBC1, BBC2, ITV, Channel 4 or S4C, Channel 5, Sky, others.

If your television and video recorder are connected with a scart cable, select the AV channel

on your television. If your television and video recorder are connected with an aerial cable,

select the programme number that you have tuned to the video recorder under ‘Getting

started - for televisions without a scart socket’ on page 8.

Use the remote control for the following steps.

2 Press the OK button. Auto-set will start and

the screen will show its progress.

3 The video recorder sorts the programmes

into their proper order.

4 To allow you to use VIDEOPlus+ it is

important that the programmes are stored in

standard order - BBC1 on programme number

one, BBC2 on programme number two, ITV on

programme number 3, Channel 4 or S4C on

programme number four, Channel 5 on

programme number five and so on. Check

they are in the right order by looking at the

picture opposite, which will appear after

sorting has finished. If the programmes are

not in the right order, please read ‘Changing

programme numbers’ on page 16 after you

have finished step 5 below.
